I have been trying quite a few guides on getting sub-menus to work. Some which include JS. Now I'm trying a just css approach but I'm kinda stuck on getting the submenu to work for me.
My code is on fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/PLb5K/
To do a basic test I have done
#nav ul li ul {
display: none; }
#nav ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
position: absolute; }
UPDATE
#nav ul:hover .sub {
display: block;
position:absolute;
}
fixes the "not working on hover" issue but any list item will show the sub menu. Please could anyone help on how to make it so only the single parent will show the submenu.
here is a basic html/css example for you:
the fiddle
css
ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0px 100px 0px 0px;
list-style: none;
line-height: normal;
text-align: center;
}
ul li {
background-color:grey;
display: inline-block;
*display: inline;
padding:4px 8px;
margin:0;
zoom: 1;
}
ul li a{
color: white;
text-decoration:none;
}
ul li ul.sub{
display:none;
position:absolute;
margin-top:4px;
margin-left:-8px;
}
ul li:hover ul.sub{
display:block;
}

I've got a simple menu that should show a sub-menu vertically. However, i changed this menu to be in order to center it, and it now doesn't show vertically but horizontally.
Here is my codepen :
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/NGwmGq
.navitem{
height: 30px;
}
#menu ul {
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style-type:none;
text-align:center;
}
#menu li {
background-color:black;
display: inline-block;
padding: 0;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#menu li a {
display:block;
width:125px;
color:white;
text-decoration:none;
line-height:30px
}
#menu li a:hover {
color:#FFD700;
}
#menu ul li ul {
display:none;
}
#menu ul li:hover ul {
display:block;
}
#menu li:hover ul li {
float:none;
}
#menu li ul {
position:absolute;
}
#menu {
height:30px;
margin-top: 30px;
}
.table {
display: table; /* Allow the centering to work */
margin: 0 auto;
}
/* Logo */
#logo{
height: 190px;
width: 266px;
background-color:black;
margin: 0 30px;
}
/* Fin MENU */
As you can see, the "portfolio" actually shows the sub-menu but this sub-menu should be vertically aligned.
You seem to have deleted the positioning context on the li
#menu li {
background-color: black;
display: inline-block;
padding: 0;
vertical-align: middle;
position: relative; /* add this */
}
For li you have given display as inline-block that,s why they are coming in one line. so for portfolio submenu Write this css in your css file
#menu ul li ul li {
display: block;
}
In your css, you're making all main menu items inline using #menu li selector, which is also applied for lis in sub menu.
So you've to explicitly specify display: block for sub menu lis
Change your code as given below.
#menu li:hover ul li {
float:none;
display:block;
}
Just Add display:block to your sub menu li.
#menu li:hover ul li {
float:none;
display:block; /* Add This */
}
UPDATED : EXPLANATION
1) display:block; property is a block property in HTML. So every element with such property takes a new line(Elements views Vertically).
2) display:inline-block; property is a block but inline property. So elements which such property appears on same single line(Elements views Horizontally).

Right now, I have two drop down menus. One under Browse Models, and another under Tutorials.
If you look at the sub menus, the items' widths adjust accordingly depending on what is typed. If you look at tutorials, under the Printers sub menu, you will see Test, and Test 2. Only on Test 2, the 2 is placed underneath the word Test.
Basically, the sub sub menus aren't properly adjusting based on the width of the items in the same way that the sub menus are. If you were to type "Model Finishing" where Test 2 is, it would stack the words. But the "Model Finishing" item in the sub menu is all on one line.
I'm still pretty new at this. This is the first time I've tried to create a nested menu like this, I'm pretty much just going off of tutorials, so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
Edit: Changed the JSfiddle and code to reflect what I'm currently working with.
http://jsfiddle.net/S5cYJ/6/
#nav ul ul ul {
/* add this */
width:100%;
}
also remove width:100% from below
#nav ul ul li a {
padding: 15px 40px;
color: #fff;
display:block;
}
you should look into bootstrap. It has a nice menu already built so that you can concentrate and doing other things http://getbootstrap.com/components/#navbar
Fixed this by adding:
white-space: nowrap;
to #nav ul.
hoping someone could help me solve this issue...im not using js, just css and html. I have built a menu which works good but my issue is when i try to add in a sub menu. I would like for it be hidden until someone goes over the main menu, then i would like for it to drop down. The effect that im getting now is my sub menu loads right away with the main menu above it and then it disappears when i go over that main menu item. i have tried some different things such as adding z-index here and there, but no luck so far...

Jsfiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/bC7f2/
So it appears there are a few things that we can change in your code. The first thing is when you should and should not display things. To keep it short, I have made a few adjustments to the CSS code, just be sure you are getting the exact area you are trying to use. Here are the new selector names:
#nav ul li:hover ul #ITEM NAME HERE
#nav li ul # ITEM NAME HERE
Next, you started off by displaying your drop down menu as "display: block;" , this means that anything in the drop down menu will automatically begin on the page, this should actually be set to "display:none;", so that it is not visible until you hover. Here is your end product:
#nav ul li:hover ul #item1 {
display: none;
position: absolute;
z-index: 100;
display: inline-block;
top: 20px;
}
#nav ul li:hover ul #item2 {
/* display: none; */
position: relative;
z-index:1;
display: block;
top: 13px;
}
#nav ul li:hover ul #item3 {
/* display: none; */
position: relative;
z-index:0;
display: block;
top: 27px;
}
#nav li ul #item1 {
z-index:100;
display:none;
}
#nav li ul #item2 {
z-index:1;
display:none;
}
#nav li ul #item3 {
z-index:0;
display:none;
}
I also added a margin here to connect the sub menu to the normal menu or else it will act really weird. Your end product can be found here.
I would suggest looking into some specific tutorials on how to create drop down menus with CSS or look into using jQuery with your drop down menu (it will make it more clean and easy to use).
Edit: Here is an update with the sub menus showing, I have also added another sub menu to show you exactly how the items will work and the corresponding CSS to go with it here.
To break down my additions, I will split it up into sections really fast:
Z-Index: This is pretty much the order of what the items will appear in, where the higher the number, the higher on the list it will appear. Here is a resource for more information.
Positioning: I have used a combination of absolute and relative positioning. This is extremely dirty and I don't know if many would recommend the use of this in the applicable web programming world. It would be better to use solely absolute positioning, but this will still get your job done. More information can be found here.
Top: This is pretty self explanatory but it is really the distance from the utmost top object. More information on this can be found here.
My CSS code is not allowing the sub nav to stay open allowing the user to be able to select an option. What am i missing? I believe it is something to do with the last CSS style. As it is now it shows when you mouse over. As soon as you start to move your mouse down to select an option it disappears.
Please could someone help:

Simple bug
Your error:
CSS:
#navigation_bar ul li a:hover{
border:none;
color:#ffffff;
background-image:url(Images/mouse_over_background.gif);
z-index:1;
}
What it should be:
#navigation_bar ul li a:hover{
border:none;
color:black;
background-image:url(Images/mouse_over_background.gif);
z-index:1;
}
I have had a look at the Fiddle and corrected the missing </li> tag. Now the code works the way im seeing not that it is working fine in the fiddle. I have updated the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/CtPcA/1. The background image is a purple block say on hover and the text then changes to white
I am trying to create a simple sub menu which appears when u hover over the main menu.
Can anyone see where i am going wrong?
I have created this fiddle for example.
Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/KSeph/11/
It is not layouted but it works.
This css basically provides a very simple way to realize dropdowns:
.subMenu {
float: right;
}
.subMenu ul li {
float: left;
}
.subMenu ul ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
}
.subMenu ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
}
.subMenu ul ul li {
float: none;
}
Hey now add two style in your css as like this
.subMenu li{
position:relative;}
.subsubmenu {
position:absolute;
top:22px;
left:0;
}
Live demo
on .subsubmenu add left: 0; top: 0; and remove float: right !important;
on .subMenu ul li add position: relative;
