When I hover parent element his child is appear. When I click parent element his child also appear and when I click it again his child disappear. But then(after clicking parent element for disappearing child) when I hover parent element his child is not appearing. Why?
var parent = document.querySelector('nav > ul > li');
var children = document.querySelector('nav > ul > li > ul');
parent.addEventListener('click', function () {
if (children.style.display == 'block') {
children.style.display = 'none';
} else {
children.style.display = 'block';
}
});
nav > ul > li > ul {
display: none;
}
nav > ul > li:hover ul {
display: block;
}
li {
width: max-content;
}
ul {
padding: 0px;
}
<body>
<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Parent</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">child</a></li>
<li><a href="#">child</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</body>
Thanks.
You can easily avoid this by setting children.style.display
to the empty string instead of assigning none
to it when you want to hide the children.
EDIT:
Need a correction: Instead of undefined the empty string needs to be assigned to children.style.display
to drop the override (see the text marked in italics - I had to correct that).
The code snippet should look like this:
var parent = document.querySelector('nav > ul > li');
var children = document.querySelector('nav > ul > li > ul');
parent.addEventListener('click', function () {
alert(children.style.display);
if (children.style.display == 'block') {
children.style.display = '';
} else {
children.style.display = 'block';
}
}, true);
