I'm a novice web developer with no real jquery knowledge, so please bear with me. I'm trying to make a simple mobile responsive dropdown menu (ideally I'd like a slide down, but baby steps first). For the most part, I figured it out. However, I assigned my "Unordered List" an ID selector and it doesn't seem to function anymore. What am I overlooking? Thanks in advance!
This is my code: JSFiddle
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#toggle-button').click(function(){
$('#menu').toggleClass('show');
});
});
.show {
display: block;
}
nav {
background: black;
width: 100%;
}
.menu-bar {
width: 100%;
background: black;
height: 50px;
}
#toggle-button {
position: absolute;
top: 15px;
right: 60px;
height: 35px;
width: 35px;
background: red;
cursor: pointer;
display: block;
}
#menu {
list-style: none;
width: 100%;
display: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#menu li {
height: 50px;
background: #535252;
}
#menu li a {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 50px;
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
#menu li:hover {
background: gray;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="menu-bar"></div>
<nav>
<ul id="menu">
<li><a href="#">Profile</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Profile</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Profile</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
<a id="toggle-button" href="#"></a>
Use:
#menu.show {
display: block;
}
after! you defined your defaults for #menu {
https://jsfiddle.net/nw2wf3uh/6/
or use the not-so-nice !important
:
https://jsfiddle.net/nw2wf3uh/7/
.show {
display: block !important; /* if .show is placed before #menu styles in CSS */
}
You can also go the other way around, setting to your #menu a .hide
by default:
<ul id="menu" class="hide">
CSS:
.hide {
display: none; /* but remove display:none; from #menu now! */
}
and toggle that .hide
class:
$('#toggle-button').click(function(){
$('#menu').toggleClass('hide');
// or simply: $('#menu').toggle();
});
Here you'll not run into overriding styles cause of priority and you'll not have to use the !important
fix (but you might have issues with JS-disabled users if that's of any concern (you should not care much but it always depends.)).
