Covert responsive dropdown menu from hover only to hover/click


The code below works great, except I need the dropdown menus to also open on click, not just hover, for better use on mobile. How can I get the menu button named "concept" to click open and close when viewed by a mobile.

function myFunction() {
  var x = document.getElementById("myTopnav");
  if (x.className === "topnav") {
    x.className += " responsive";
  } else {
    x.className = "topnav";
  }
}

Solution

  • You can do that with some jQuery:

    function myFunction() {
      var x = document.getElementById("myTopnav");
      if (x.className === "topnav") {
        x.className += " responsive";
      } else {
        x.className = "topnav";
      }
    
      $(".dropbtn").click(function() {
        $(this).parent().find(".dropdown-content").toggleClass("open");
      });
    }
    body {
      margin: 0;
      font-family: Arial
    }
    
    .topnav {
      overflow: hidden;
      background-color: #333;
    }
    
    .topnav a {
      float: left;
      display: block;
      color: #f2f2f2;
      text-align: center;
      padding: 14px 16px;
      text-decoration: none;
      font-size: 17px;
    }
    
    .active {
      background-color: #04AA6D;
      color: white;
    }
    
    .topnav .icon {
      display: none;
    }
    
    .dropdown {
      float: left;
      overflow: hidden;
    }
    
    .dropdown .dropbtn {

      padding: 14px 16px;
      background-color: inherit;

      margin: 0;
      cursor: pointer;
    }
