Sub nav hidden in horizontal menu with overflow auto

Question

I have constructed a simple horizontal menu with one sub-nav list but I went into the trouble of making sub'nav visible. I know that this menu is cut off by the .wrapper, according to overflow: auto directive.

Abyhow, is there anything I can do to achieve the goal? The .wrapper structure should look like this ----- ------ | LOGO NAV ICONS | ----- ------ Logo on the left, next to it is nav list with sub menus. At the right, there should be icons.

My issue is represented here: https://jsfiddle.net/4mor5g80/2/ Any hints/ideas?

Thanks, Jakub

Answer 1

need to set float:left;width:100% to the .wrapper too, because all the elements inside have float and so , the .wrapper needs to have the height of it's content and also set overflow:visible instead of auto

body {
    background: #fff;
}

div.wrapper {
    background: #2e2e2e;
    min-height: 10px;
    overflow: visible;
    float:left;
    width:100%;
}

div.wrapper .info {float: right;}

div.wrapper .logo {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 2em;
    min-height: 10px;
}

ul {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 10px 0;
    float: left;
}
ul li ul {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 10px 0;

}

li {
    display: inline;
    padding: 10px 0;
    position: relative;
}

li a {
    color: white;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 10px 16px;
    text-decoration: none;
}

li a:hover {
    background-color: green;
}
.dropdown-content {
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    background-color: #f9f9f9;
    min-width: 160px;
    box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
    top: 100%;
    left: 0;
}

.dropdown-content a {
    color: black;
    padding: 12px 16px;
    text-decoration: none;
    display: block;
    text-align: left;
}

.dropdown-content a:hover {background-color: #f1f1f1}

ul li:hover .dropdown-content {
    display: block;
}

h3 {
  clear: both; 
}
}

<div class="wrapper">
<p class="logo">logo</p>
<ul>
  <li><a class="active" href="#home">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#news">News</a></li>
  <li>
    <a href="#">Dropdown</a>
    <ul class="dropdown-content">
      <li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Link 3</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>
<div class="info"><a href="a">Test</a></div>
</div>
