I'm trying to make a navigation menu for responsive website. I came to a point where I have my main menu fluid but not sure how to get drop-down menu from it .
Here is my html code:
<body>
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Exercises</li>
<ul>
<li>Yoga</li>
<li>Pilates</li>
<li>Aerobics</li>
</ul>
<li>Clothes</li>
<li>Recipe</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div><!-- ends nav -->
</body>
Here's my CSS:
#nav {
display: table;
table-layout: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
#nav ul {
display: table-row;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#nav ul li {
list-style: none;
display: table-cell;
text-align: center;
}
#nav ul li a {
display: block;
}
I tried adding these lines of code to my CSS but didn't work as well:
#nav ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
}
Please help me out.
Thanks
The list structure in the question is incorrect
<li>Exercises</li>
<ul>
<li>Yoga</li>
<li>Pilates</li>
<li>Aerobics</li>
</ul>
Should be
<li>Exercises</li>
<ul>
<li>Yoga</li>
<li>Pilates</li>
<li>Aerobics</li>
</ul>
</li>
The sub <ul> is wrapped in the parent <li> node.
Second, add the code below to make it drop down:
#nav li {position:relative;}
#nav li ul{display:none;position:absolute;left:0;top:100%;}
Then add more CSS code to make it beautiful.

I have a navigation which uses a full width drop down sub-menu (the about drop down) but I am struggling to align the links within the submenu centeraly underneath their parent. I also need this to be responsive so the sub-links stay central no matter the view width.
Could anyone help me by telling me where I am going wrong or what I would need to do to achieve this effect?
Thanks in advance for any help.
.navigation--main li:hover>ul {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
ul.navigation--main li ul {
background: #000;
color: #fff;
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 114px;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
ul.navigation--main li ul li {
padding: 1.5em 0.5em;
}
<div class="navigation--container">
<div class="logo">
<img src="assets/img/Group 85.svg" alt="ORRAA Logo" class="homeLogo" height="78.93" width="260" />
</div>
<div class="navigation">
<ul class="navigation--main">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About
<ul>
<li>
Ocean risk</li>
<li>
About ORRAA</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Membership</li>
<li>Governance</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navigation--social-icons">
<li>
<img src="assets/img/facebook.svg" alt="facebook">
</li>
<li>
<img src="assets/img/instagram.svg" alt="instagram">
</li>
<li>
<img src="assets/img/Path 22.svg" alt="twitter">
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
you can change in css file.. hope this solution help you.
.navigation--main li:hover>ul {
display:flex;
justify-content:center;
width: calc(100vw - 112px);
}
.navigation--main li:hover>ul li{
margin-left:20px;
}
ul.navigation--main li ul {
background: $brand-sky-blue;
display: none;
width: 100%;
}
ul.navigation--main li ul li {
padding:10px;
}
this is example for reference: codepen.io/arpita1030/pen/pMLQME
I do not know if I understood correctly, but here is my proposal
.navigation--main li:hover > ul {
display:flex;
justify-content: center;
position: static;
}
Now the div in question appears right underneath About navigation link and moves rest of the elements further down.
I'm trying to modify a template navigation bar to have a dropdown on
how-to hover, but I can't seem to get sub 2 to drop below sub 1.
I also noticed that things break when put to mobile size and is hovered. (but that's because I haven't worried about the mediascreen yet).
Any ideas?
See the fiddle for the full code.
HTML
<!-- Navigation options -->
<nav class="clearfix">
<ul class="clearfix">
<li>Home</li>
<li>How-to
<ul id="submenu">
<li>sub1
<li>sub2
</ul> <!--end sub ul-->
</li>
<li>Icons</li>
<li>Design</li>
<li>Web 2.0</li>
<li>Tools</li>
</ul> <!-- end ul clearfix -->
Menu
</nav> <!-- end nav clearfix -->
CSS
.clearfix li:hover ul {
display: block;
}
.clearfix li ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top:100%;
background: #455868;
width: auto;
height: auto;
vertical-align: top;
}
.clearfix li ul li {
width: auto;
}
.clearfix li ul a {
display: block;
}
For full code see Fiddle:

Your submenu li elements were picking a float from nav li rule.
Added on line 38 in jsfiddle:
.clearfix li ul li {
width: auto;
float:none; /* <- this one here */
}
To make sub 2 apear under sub1 turn off float property for sub menus:
#submenu li {
float: none;
}
Second problem solved with:
#media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
#submenu {
position: static;
}
}
I am trying to make a horizontal drop down menu in CSS. However, it appears vertically:
I want the two topmost menu items to be horizontal. What can I do, besides making a table with one row?
ul ul {
display: none;
}
ul li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
<ul>
<li>
abc
<ul>
<li>abc</li>
<li>abc</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
abc
<ul>
<li>abc</li>
<li>abc</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
You can try floating the list items:
.root {
overflow: hidden; /* clear float */
}
.root > li {
float: left;
}
<ul class="root">
<li>
abc
<ul>
<li>abc</li>
<li>abc</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
abc
<ul>
<li>abc</li>
<li>abc</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
You can add submenu a class/id with
.inline-menu{
display: inline;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/dyaskur/fby9fan6/
The gist of your question is actually this: what is the difference between inline and block elements? This is a fundamental question that is important to understanding the basics of layout in CSS/HTML. There is a good write-up on this topic and some of the trade-offs of the various approaches at:
http://designshack.net/articles/css/whats-the-deal-with-display-inline-block/
Basically, <li> is block-level tag, meaning that it displays as its own "block" element: receives a layout (settable dimensions), by default takes the entire width of the parent element, and has a forced break after the rendered element (is on a line to itself).
So, that leaves us with a number of approaches for having your menu items sit side-by-side:
Use inline-level elements for your menu items
Use block-level elements and float them
Use block-level elements and style them as inline-block
All of these approaches are detailed in the above link. Personally, I prefer to use floated block elements. I have a fiddle with some rough css to give you an idea. Note that there are some considerations in how to display your submenus as well. You'll note that I've implemented these as having display: block, with no float, because we want them to stack vertically.
HTML
<ul class="menu">
<li>
foo
<ul class="submenu">
<li>subfoo1</li>
<li>subfoo2</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
bar
<ul class="submenu">
<li>subbar1</li>
<li>subbar2</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
CSS
ul.menu {
list-style: none;
}
ul.menu > li{
float: left;
position: relative;
}
ul.menu li {
background-color: #cccccc;
padding: 5px 20px;
}
ul.menu > li + li {
border-left: solid black 2px;
}
ul.menu li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
ul.menu li a,ul.menu li a:link, ul.menu li a:hover, ul.menu li a:visited {
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
}
ul.submenu{
display: none;
list-style: none;
position:absolute;
left: 0;
padding: 0;
}
ul.submenu li {
float:none;
display: block;
}
ul.submenu > li + li {
border-top: solid black 1px;
}
You can just remove some <li> tags:
<ul>
<li>
abc
<ul>
abc
abc
</ul>
</li>
<li>
abc
<ul>
abc
abc
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
I am trying to add a dropdown menu in the right side of my top header, but I have got an issue with the "dropping down thing". The Header follows the menu, so it includes the nav and goes down, following what the menu is supposed to do.
I think the problem is related to the z-indexes which I haven't set properly, but I am not quite sure.
I would like to have a dropdown menu in the header, without being followed by the header itself.
This is the right side of the Header.
<div class="rightHeader">
<div class="rightContainer">
<div class="profile-nav">
<nav>
<ul>
<li><h3> edo1493</h3>
<ul>
<li> Notifications </li>
<li> Messages </li>
<li> Settings </li>
<li> Log out </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And this is the CSS:
.rightHeader .rightContainer .profile-nav nav ul ul{
display: none;
background-color: yellow;
}
.rightHeader .rightContainer .profile-nav nav ul li:hover> ul {
display: block;
}
.rightHeader .rightContainer .profile-nav nav ul {
list-style-type: none;
display: inline-table;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.rightHeader .rightContainer .profile-nav nav ul:after {
content: ""; clear: both; display: block;
}
Any advice?
This is the Header's CSS:
#header-new{ position:fixed; width:100%; top: 0; left:0px; background-color:#3b3b3b;z-index: 1;}
Thanks
This will be accomplished with a simple change (adding position:absolute):
.rightHeader .rightContainer .profile-nav nav ul ul{
position:absolute;
display: none;
background-color: yellow;
}
This will then allow the navigation to fall below the header and not pull it with it.

I got a reallly simple drop-down menu but got a problem with the submenus width.
See it here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/70953/SOSfrontpage.html
My HTML is:
<div id="navigation">
<div id="menu-dropdown">
<ul class="menu">
<li class="menu_punkt">Frontpage</li>
<li class="menu_punkt">Who are we?</li>
<li class="menu_punkt">This is a test
<ul>
<li>Your profile</li>
<li>New profile</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="menu_punkt">SOS Profile
<ul>
<li>Your profile</li>
<li>New user</li>
</ul>
</li><li class="menu_punkt">Log ind</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
and my CSS is:
/*horisontal navbar*/
#menu-dropdown {
list-style: none;
position: absolute;
top: 600px;
}
#menu-dropdown ul li {
float:left;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 0.8em;
}
#menu-dropdown li ul {
position: absolute;
display: none;
background-color:#cdc3a2;
padding: 0px;
margin-bottom:1px;
}
#menu-dropdown ul ul li {
clear: both;
}
#menu-dropdown ul li a {
display: block;
padding: 10px;
color:#102B47;
text-decoration:none;
font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 1em;
}
#menu-dropdown ul li a:hover {
background-color: #cdc3a2;
}
#menu-dropdown li:hover ul, li.over ul {
display: block;
}

Add a width to the submenu anchors
.menu ul li a { width:200px;}
Also add the hover to the li (not teh anchor) that way the top menu stays selected when you are in the submenus
#menu-dropdown ul li:hover, #menu-dropdown ul li.hover {
background-color: #cdc3a2;
}
I think you should add a width to the menu-dropdown ul li class.
A great way to build a css drop down menu is son of a suckerfish.
Yes JAO is right u shoud give width to li like this
#menu-dropdown ul ul li {
clear:both;
width:107px;}
you can get more clue from here http://www.cssnewbie.com/example/css-dropdown-menu/
Try:
.menu ul li li {width: 100%}
when I learnt to write css dropdown menus I based a lot of experiments on the ton of examples on this site : http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/ - very clear css / html examples, minimal, clean code
hope it helps :)
