When the menu "product" is clicked or mouse over, the another list of menus appear.. but the image block which is below the menu bar, moves away from the position. if i use css [ position:absolute;], then the image box remains static and the product's sub-menu overlaps the image block, which is what i wanted. but the image blocks width & height settings change drastically, thereby spoiling the alignment.
pls chk the codings in jsFiddle
.home_menu {
border: 1px solid black;

kindly help. My requirement is, when i mouse over the "product menu", the drop down menu should be viewed above the image block which is below the menu bar.
Add position:absolute to the css of your ul menu (in your case, the sub1 class), and remove the width:100% so it can inherit the default width of its parent. Absolute positioning will prevent your browser from trying to put your ul element after the previous element on the page.
ul.sub1 {
position:absolute;
}

I'm trying to make it so when you hover over one of the categories in the header nav "CALLS | CHATS | MORE" the subnav below shows and the ul that is associated with the header nav changes its background color i know i can just add a class using jQuery but could i not do this with a sibling selector or something? i just think my HTML is layed out incorrectly at the moment for it to work TIA. this is what i currently have.
<header class="header">
<ul class="header__nav">
<li class="header__navItem header__navItem--calls">Calls</li>
<li class="header__navItem header__navItem--chats">Chats</li>
<li class="header__navItem header__navItem--more">More</li>
</ul>
<nav class="navigation">
<div class="navigation__wrapper cf">
<ul class="navItems navItems--calls">
<li class="navItems__item"></li>
<li class="navItems__item"></li>
<li class="navItems__item"></li>
<li class="navItems__item"></li>
<div class="bgHover"></div>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
</header>
.header {
height: 5.8rem;
background: rgba(25, 25, 25, 0.9);
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
z-index: 999;
&__nav {
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
font-size: 0;
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
transform: translateX(-50%);
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
&__navItem {
color: $white;
display: inline-block;
#include font-size(18);
padding: 0 4rem;
line-height: 5.8rem;
letter-spacing: 0.1rem;
position: relative;
cursor: default;
font-weight: 400;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-family: $lato;
&--calls {
&:hover ~ .navigation__wrapper .navItems .bgHover {
max-height: 35rem;
}
&:hover {
color: red;
}
}
}
I'm presuming you want the submenu to appear below the header nav. If so, then move your sub nav into the li tag for the corresponding header item, like so:
<li class="header__navItem header__navItem--calls">Calls
<ul class="navItems navItems--calls">
<li class="navItems__item">First</li>
<li class="navItems__item">Second</li>
<li class="navItems__item">Third</li>
<li class="navItems__item">Fourth</li>
</ul>
</li>
I have a drop down menu button that turns grey when hovered over. However, the grey does not expand throughout the whole button, but stops at the where I set the padding.
HTML:
#dropdown {
list-style: none;
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #fff;
padding: 10px;
z-index: 99999;
width: 230%;
}
#dropdown li:hover,
#dropdown li:active {
background-color: #e3e3e3;
}
#dropdown.active, #menu:target #dropdown {
display: block;
}
<ul class="main-nav js--main-nav">
<li id="menu">
Help▾
<ul id="dropdown">
<li>Give</li>
<li>Get Help</li>
<li>Get Involved</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
What I want is for the grey to take up all of the drop-down menu when hovered over, as opposed to just stopping at the padding.
EDIT: I should have clarified, when I meant I want it to take up "all" of the drop down menu, I meant just the "li" when I hover over that.
Is this what you were looking for?
#dropdown {
list-style: none;
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #fff;
padding: 10px;
z-index: 99999;
width: 230%;
}
#dropdown:hover {
background-color: #eee;
}
#dropdown li:hover,
#dropdown li:active {
background-color: #e3e3e3;
}
#dropdown.active, #menu:target #dropdown {
display: block;
}
<ul class="main-nav js--main-nav">
<li id="menu">
Help▾
<ul id="dropdown">
<li>Give</li>
<li>Get Help</li>
<li>Get Involved</li>

I have two specific questions concerning my website for my class.
First, my floating left-side vertical nav bar is getting in the way of the different sections on my theme/genre page of my website.
Whenever I go to this page, the nav bar by default is pushing my first section ("Horror") over to the right. This is good and I want ALL of my sections to permanently move to the right so that my nav bar will not be floating over any of my sections. However, right now only this first section is moved to the right and while the nav bar "floats" down, the nav bar either floats directly over the sections or the sections just get distorted and look weird.
Here is the Theme.html page code below. I only included the first "section" for brevity's sake.

I have looked in my CSS class "sections" and tried many times to move that blue border over to the right, but still cannot do it.
Here is my CSS code below for the theme/genre's sections and navigation code:
.sections {border-style: ridge; /*adjusts the Theme/Genre Sections*/
border-width: 10px;
border-color: #1D3D94;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20%;
overflow:auto;}
.images {float: left; /*adjust the pics in the Theme/Genre Sections*/
padding-top: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;}
#nav {float: left; width: 200px; margin: 10px 0;}
/* define a fixed width for the entire menu */
.navigation {width: 190px;}
/* reset the lists to remove bullet points and padding */
.mainmenu, .submenu {list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;}
/* make ALL links (main and submenu) have padding and background color */
.mainmenu a {display: block;
background-color: #CCC;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 10px;
color: #000;}
/* add hover behavior */
.mainmenu a:hover {background-color: #C5C5C5;}
/* when hovering over a .mainmenu item,
display the submenu inside it.*/
.mainmenu li:hover .submenu {display: block;
max-height: 200px;}
/*Now, overwrite the background-color for .submenu links only.
.submenu a {background-color: #999;}
/* hover behavior for links inside .submenu */
.submenu a:hover {background-color: #666;}
/* this is the initial state of all submenus.
we set it to max-height: 0, and hide the overflowed content.*/
.submenu {overflow: auto;
max-height: 0;
-webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;}
Is there any way to permanently move these sections to the right out of the way of the nav bar?
Secondly, I do not want use a scroll bar function in the nested directoires but instead show ALL of my sections together when my mouse hovers over the "Theme/Genre >" heading in my nav bar. As of now, it only shows five of the seven sub-directories before having to use a scroll bar to scroll down to see the rest.
How do I remove the scroll bar and show ALL seven sub-directories?
Thanks a lot for any and all help you may give. I do appreciate it.
You could handle your submenu items with the css :hover states.
And you could place your menu and your content like this :
<div class="site-container">
<nav class="menu"><!-- Your menu--></nav>
<main><!-- Your main content--></main>
</div>
and add display: flex; on the .site-container.
Set the width: of your menu to 200px for example
And the width of the main content to calc(100% - 200px);

You could do an improvement by fixing your menu at the top left of the screen with position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 2;, so it's always visible. And set position: absolute; left:100%; top: 0; on the submenu and position: relative; on its parent li, so the submenu will appears at the right of your menu. It will prevent the menu from doing "Yo-yo".

Use padding-left
Make sure the items that are listed are sitting in a 'container' so that all the children inside the container can sit wherever the parent sits. This allows you to use the following CSS rules for content (with the id of #content for example):
#content {
position: relative;
padding-left: 5em;
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 100%;
}
Explanation
position: relative - make sure the children abide by the basic rules of the parent
padding-left: 5em - Push the parent (content) to the right of the menu by 5em, all children will be relative to the parent
box-sizing: border-box - keep all the padding relative to the inside the width and height of the container (by subtracting the size) rather than appending size dynamically.
width: 100% - Let the container fill the rest of the space (1)
1) if width: 100% is over-taking the space of the menu then consider using width: calc(100% - 5em) where 5em is the width of the menu
Note It's worth putting into consideration that to do this you normally need a fixed/max-width menu and would be ideal to do so. Otherwise text, images and so on may expand the menu infinitely within a percentage of that space.
element:hover
To eliminate the scrollbar on the menu you will have to find what is taking up the space. If these are more items that you want to show/hide when the cursor is above the menu item you can use the element selector :hover which can tell the menu to hide certain items. You can then use it to set before the hover event occurs and during the hover event. For example:
body { background: white; }
body:hover {background: red;}
A more relative example would be to set the height of the main menu item so that the rest cannot be shown (with the use of overflow: hidden)
ul li ul li {display: none};
ul li:hover ul li {display: block}
I'm tring to make a simple drop-down menu, which would be triggered on hover event over some element and stay active as long as the cursor is over that element or is over the dropdown list.
Sample code:
HTML
<div class="header">
<div class="items">
<div class="item">
<span>Caption</span>
</div>
<ul class="items_hidden">
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
<li>Item 4</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<input type="text">
CSS
.items {
float: right;
position: relative;
}
.item {
text-align: right;
}
.items_hidden {
display: none;
margin-top: 7px;
list-style: none;
z-index: 2000;
width: 80px;
border: 1px solid #f2f2f2;
text-align: left;
padding: 10px;
color: #333;
line-height: 30px;
border-bottom: 3px solid #f2f2f2;
}
input {
width: 100%;
}
JS
$(function() {
$('.items').on('mouseenter', function(e) {
$('.items_hidden').show();
});
$('.items').on('mouseleave', function(e) {
$('.items_hidden').hide();
});
});
I got that working, when the dropdown list is positioned relative, but the problem is once the list is displayed, it causes all following content to move down.
Here is an example: https://jsfiddle.net/2ya06aLo/
Another way would be to position the list absolute, so it wouldn't affect the content below. But in that case the list disappears as soons as I move the cursor out of 'Caption' (in contrast with the first fiddle).
Here is the second example https://jsfiddle.net/8L6ojqLm/
What would be a solution to make the list behave like in 1 and at the same time do not affect the rest of the content like in 2 ?
You can don't use JS
Example
.items {
float: right;
position: relative;
}
.item {
text-align: right;
padding: 10px;
}
.items_hidden {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 20px;
display: none;
margin-top: 7px;
list-style: none;
z-index: 2000;
width: 80px;
border: 1px solid #f2f2f2;

padding: 10px;

Couldn't it be done via pure css?

Maybe this would help.
.navigation {
width: 100%;
}
.mainmenu, .submenu {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.mainmenu a {
}
.mainmenu a:hover {
background-color: #D90000;
}
.mainmenu li:hover .submenu {
display: block;
max-height: 400px;
}
.submenu{
max-height: 400px;
}
.submenu a {
background-color: #FF4D4D;
}
.submenu a:hover {
background-color: #D90000;
}
.submenu{
overflow:hidden;
display:none;
}
<nav class="navigation"><!-- pocetak navigacije -->
<ul class="mainmenu">
<li>Link</li>
<li class="start">Link
<ul class="submenu">
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Link</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Home</li>
</ul>
</nav>
To take up the comment of CBroe: The problem seems to be the "gap" between the and the element. To remove it you could either
give the "item"-Element a height so that it "reaches down" to the ul-element or
or remove the margin-top of the ul-element
I have a navigation bar with a list of links and a search bar. It looks like this:
<ul>
<li class="link">Link 1</li>
<li class="link">Link 2</li>
<li class="link">Link 3</li>
<li class="link search">search</li>
</ul>
When the user hovers the "search" element, I want to
Apply a width of 500px to the hovered search elements
Apply a margin of -150px to the sibling "link" element
The CSS that I've written to do this is:
ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
width: 500px;
float: right;
}
.link {
width: 150px;
float: left;
line-height: 80px;
}
.search {
background: red;
width: 50px;
}
.search:hover{
width: 500px
}
.search:hover + .link {
margin-left: -150px;
}
This however has no effect on the sibling "link" elements
With pure CSS, is it possible to apply the the declarations "margin-left: -150px" on the hover of "search"?
I've created a fiddle here to illustrate the problem

If you use flex you can do like this. (Current browser support ~96%)`
The trick is you put the search link first in your markup and use order to show it last. With this you can use the sibling selector ~ to achieve what you want.
nav {
width: 700px;
background: green;
height: 80px;
float: left;
}
nav ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
width: 500px;
display: inline-flex;
}
.link {
width: 150px;
line-height: 80px;
order: 1;
}
.search {
background: red;
width: 50px;
order: 2;
}
.search:hover {
width: 500px
}
<nav>
<span>Site Name</span>
<ul>
<li class="link search">search</li>
<li class="link">Link 1</li>
<li class="link">Link 2</li>
<li class="link">Link 3</li>
</ul>
</nav>
Thanks to Joum, here is a nice addition to my solution: https://jsbin.com/yipujadewi/edit?css,output
If someone really need to target previous sibling and can't use flex, here is an abuse of direction: ltr/rtl in combination with display: table.
Src: CSS Tables, Invert order of displayed content
nav {
width: 700px;
background: green;
height: 80px;
float: left;
}
nav ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
width: 500px;
display: inline-table;
direction: rtl;
}
.link {
width: 150px;
line-height: 80px;
display: table-cell;
direction: ltr;
text-align: left;
}
.search {
background: red;
width: 50px;
}
.search:hover {
width: 500px
}
.search:hover ~ .link {
color: #fff;
}
<nav>
<span>Site Name</span>
<ul>
<li class="link search">search</li>
<li class="link">Link 3</li>
