CSS arrow point to currently selected li element - html

Here's my jsfiddle example:
http://jsfiddle.net/7PqqT/
Update: This is my work around solution: http://jsfiddle.net/7PqqT/1/
However I would like to achieve this same effect without needing the arrow divs to be in each li element.
Now what I'm going to be doing is having jquery addClass('current') to whichever of the 3 li elements the user clicks on, and it I want the arrow to appear below that li element in the center of the text. I'm not sure the best way to do this, I'm hoping there's a simple method to go about doing this.

Here you go, I updated your JSFiddle.
Basically, I just deleted the arrow div completely and change the arrow-related CSS to :before and :after pseudoelements. Works like a charm.

How to make submenu disappear on click without using JS?

Looking at this example:
https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_subnav.asp
I would like to make the submenu disappear on click without using Javascript. Is this possible?
It can be made to appear on hover without JS. The idea would be to hide the submenu once a submenu item is clicked. For example:
If you click "Package" the entire submenu and red background should not be shown.
EDIT 1:
I should add that I experimented using :has and :target in various combinations to set change it to display: none. That did not work.
I think that technically the answer to your question is yes, it is possible, but actually no - at least not in a way your page will continue functioning normally afterwards. Let me explain:
If you were to use anchor elements for our subnav links/buttons you could use a combination of the the :visited and :has pseudo classes to set the submenu's display to none (display: none;) and the main menu's color to the original color. However, I believe this will mean you won't be able to make the submenu appear again unless you were to somehow cancel the "visited" status of the anchor element that was clicked which if possible, will most certainly include the use of JS anyway...

Show button on hover of parent and hide it on hover of sibling using only CSS

I apologize in advance if this might be a re-post, I searched a bit for showing div on :hover of parent.
None of them helped me.
However I have bit different scenario.
If there is any other question with same scenario please share the link of the same.
What I want is to show a button on :hover of .image-wrapper and hide it on :hover of its share text.
Here is the code what I have done so far.
Here is the js solution, but I am looking for CSS solution.
It should be working on IE8 too. So + selector will also not work. Is is possible using only CSS?
Yes it can be done only with CSS.
What you need to do is get both the siblings in one div (e.g .innerWrap) and hide the button on hover of .innerWrap.
Here is the demo for it.

CSS, display property(menuBar)

I am trying to understand html/css menu bar and my problem is at the display property,
I do know about this property very well, but if you take a look at this Link,
just a simple menubar, but the problem is that i dont understand why does the li tag and the a tag at the css style include display property inside them when the float do the job and you can delete them and the menu looks the same, i know that there is a resone for thoes display properies to be there at thoes both tags styles but i dont get it, if can some one please help me understand why the display property with the value of inline at the li css style, and with value of block at the li a at the css style, and again its not that i dont know about this property it just i dont understand why its there, thank you all and have a nice day.
display:inline used in li's is to make li aligned Horizontal or side by side.
display:block is used in li a so the a should take the complete with of the li so that if you click anywhere inside li the <a> tag will work & will not only work on clicking on the text.

CSS Dropdown Menu (stop parent element from being active when child element is)

I have a project that I am working on for some simple CSS buttons, and I was trying to make a matching drop-down menu for them. The problem is that when I click an item in a sub-menu, all the parents above it go to the active state as well. I was going to use a parent selector, only they don't exist. Here is the demo page: http://jsfiddle.net/td7bk/4/.
Thanks!
Edit: For now, the demo is only fully compatible with Firefox, because it uses the -moz-transition and -moz-box-shadow property, and the border-radius property.
This is possible with just css if you are willing/able to adjust your html a tiny bit. I noticed you have a span tag wrapping text in a few li elements but not all of them so i wasn't sure if this was a requirement or not.
See http://jsfiddle.net/td7bk/8/ for an example.
Also, if you're in the mood for a quick tip, take a look at the adjusted css selectors. Simplified and more efficient.
Hope this helps!

Changing button appearance in Firefox

So I've got a standard dropdown menu in my HTML. I've also got the background colored, and I have a background image that I want to use as a button.
But there's a problem, because I can't get the default button to disappear in Firefox. Even though I can get the button to disappear in Webkit using -webkit-appearance:none; I can't get it to go away in Firefox.
Here's an example: http://jsfiddle.net/wG7UB/
And I'd prefer not to revert to a heavily styled unordered list if at all possible. Thanks!
What do you exactly want to do?I'm not sure i understand fully what exactly you're trying to do
if you want to make it disappear then you can use "{display: none}"
or you can use "-moz-appearance" property if there is any.
Here I go answering my own question... I just wrapped my select tag with a div, and used a pseudo element to cover up the button. Slightly hackish, and I don't like using the pointless div, but I guess it works okay. Then I set the CSS of the pseudo element to pointer-events:none; so that it would allow clicks through the image.
