Push content from absolute menu with Jquery

Question

Hi i need to make a menu with 3 levels.

When you hover the first level sub-menu is displaying under the 1 level inline-block. I will use later flex to make it responsive.

Then it will be the same with the third level.

This is how it is supposed to look like :

enter image description here

So now i'm almost good but i can figured out why my menu is bugging.

You can find the jsfiddle here :

ANy idea how i can solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help

Answer 1

Use a combination of toggle and animate:

$('#nav').addClass('active');

$('#nav li').hover(function() {
  $(this).find('> ul').toggleClass('active');
  var visible = $('#menu-categories').find('ul.active').length;
  $('#menu-categories').animate({
    'height': visible * 35
  }, {
    queue: false
  });
  $(this).find('> ul').slideToggle();

})
