Get a drop-down menu to work inside/outside of a hamburger menu

I want to get the Language menu to work as a drop-down menu when it's on desktop and remain an inactive drop-down menu when it's on mobile.

Once clicked on mobile it should show the options inside the drop-down menu, remaining inside the hamburger menu.

What I want it to do on desktop:

I have made the menu clickable on desktop with javascript code, but on mobile the menu acts weirdly.

I would like to see the drop-down menu work when clicked on desktop, and when I click anywhere else on the desktop it would close, not just when I click the menu itself.

On mobile the menu appears weirdly instead of being deactivated until clicked.

Solution

  • There is a better way to create a language menu using Bulma without JavaScript.

    Language menu HTML:

    <div class="select">
  <select>
    <option selected>English</option>
    <option>Italian</option>
    <option>Arabic</option>
  </select>
</div>

    Here is your project using my idea:

    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {

  // Get all "navbar-burger" elements
  const $navbarBurgers = Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('.navbar-burger'), 0);

  // Check if there are any navbar burgers
  if ($navbarBurgers.length > 0) {

    // Add a click event on each of them
    $navbarBurgers.forEach(el => {
      el.addEventListener('click', () => {

        // Get the target from the "data-target" attribute
        const target = el.dataset.target;
        const $target = document.getElementById(target);

        // Toggle the "is-active" class on both the "navbar-burger" and the "navbar-menu"
        el.classList.toggle('is-active');
        $target.classList.toggle('is-active');

      });
    });
  }

});
