I'm trying to make a dropdown menu to show the previously hidden elements on a mobile unit (i.e. smartphone). Currently I'm having problems with the child elements of my dropdown menu spawning to the right of its parent element. I have attached an image to illustrate this behaviour. I would very much like to get these child elements to spawn to the left instead, so that they do not increase the size of the viewport on a smartphone or other mobile device. Is anyone able to assist me in this matter?
This is my HTML code with some Razor code:
<nav>
<ul>
<li class="@(controllerName == "Home" && actionName == "Index"?" CurrentActiveLink":"")">@Html.ActionLink("Hjem", "Index", "Home")</li>
<li class="@(controllerName == "Home" && actionName =="Tickets"?" CurrentActiveLink":"")">@Html.ActionLink("Billetter", "Tickets", "Home")</li>
<li class="no-portrait yes-landscape@(controllerName =="Activities" && actionName == "Index"?" CurrentActiveLink":"")">@Html.ActionLink("Aktiviteter", "Index", "Activities")</li>
<li class="@(controllerName == "Home" && actionName =="InfoAndFAQ"?"CurrentActiveLink":"")">@Html.ActionLink("Info og FAQ", "InfoAndFAQ", "Home")</li>
<li class="no-portrait @(controllerName == "Home" && actionName == "Parents"?"CurrentActiveLink":"")">@Html.ActionLink("Til de foresatte", "Parents", "Home")</li>
<li class="no-portrait"><a href="http://banzaicon.net/forum">Forum</a></li>
<li class="no-portrait@(controllerName == "Home" && actionName =="ContactUs"?" CurrentActiveLink":"")">@Html.ActionLink("Kontakt arrangørene", "Contact", "Home")</li>
<li class="only-mobile"><a href="#">></a>
<ul>
<li>@Html.ActionLink("Til de foresatte", "Parents", "Home")</li>
<li><a href="http://banzaicon.net/forum">Forum</a></li>
<li>@Html.ActionLink("Kontakt arrangørene", "Contact", "Home")</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
And this is my CSS code:
nav
{
width:100%;
text-align:right;
margin-bottom:2px;
}
nav ul
{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
nav ul li
{
list-style-type:none;
display:inline-block;
border-top-left-radius:5px;
border-top-right-radius:5px;
background-color:#CCC;
padding:10px;
font-size:16px;
font-weight:bold;
position:relative;
}
nav ul li:hover, nav ul li.CurrentActiveLink
{
background-color:White;
}
nav a, nav a:visited
{
color:Blue;
text-decoration:none;
}
nav ul li:hover ul
{
display:block;
position:absolute;
}
nav ul li ul li
{
display:block;
float:none;
left:0;
}
nav ul li ul a, nav ul li ul a:visited
{
white-space:nowrap;
}
nav ul li ul
{
display:none;
margin:none;
padding:none;
}
daniel's answer nudged my mind in the right direction and this snippet solved it:
nav ul li:hover ul
{
display:block;
position:absolute;
right:15%; /* <-- This line right here did the trick! */
}
