I am experiencing difficulties in enabling the visibility of a class when I hover over its parent class in CSS. i.e. I want to enable the submenu class on hover effect over the menu class.My html code for this is as follows:
<li class="menu">Link</li>
<ul class="subMenu">
<li>Link A</li>
<li>Link B</li>
<li>Link C</li>
</ul>
And the corresponding css is as follows :
.subMenu
{
display:none;
visibility:hidden;
}
.menu:hover .subMenu
{
display:inherit;
visibility:visible;
}
Now I have difficulties with the hover effect.
You need to add the sub menu ul inside the main li. Currently it is outside the li so it is not visible on hover.
Change your html like this
<ul>
<li class="menu">Link
<ul class="subMenu">
<li>Link A</li>
<li>Link B</li>
<li>Link C</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

I'm iterating over list items in a for loop, so I only have one li I can apply styles to, so the peer class won't work in this case.
In CSS I can do this
li + li {
margin-top: 20px;
}
How can I achieve this same effect in tailwind?
You can do this with the child selector. Giving the parent div the class [&>li:nth-child(n+2)]:mt-10 will fix the problem. You can check it out in the demo below.
Demo
You can style the first child with first modifier of the tailwind css. Following below is the example
<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
<div class="list-disc text-green-700 p-8 space-y-4">
<li class="first:text-blue-700">ListItem 1</li>
<li class="first:text-blue-700">ListItem 2</li>
<li class="first:text-blue-700">ListItem 3</li>
<li class="first:text-blue-700">ListItem 4</li>
<li class="first:text-blue-700">ListItem 5</li>
<li class="first:text-blue-700">ListItem 6</li>
<li class="first:text-blue-700">ListItem 7</li>
<li class="first:text-blue-700">ListItem 8</li>
</div>

Found a solution:
Use the space selector - space-y-* on the parent. It acts like > * + * in normal css.
Example:
<ul class='space-y-5'>
<li>my list item</li>
<li>my list item</li>
<li>my list item</li>
</ul>
This will apply a margin top to every li except the first one.

Fiddle
Now the idea is that menu item 1 has a sub menu which is triggered to appear via javascript and the submenu is supposed to go outside the box. because this menu is supposed to be responsive i assume the overflow was set in the template for a reason and i want to avoid altering the template as much as i can.
Now as you can see with the code the submenu in Menu 1 is hidden in the box, when i go to override the overflow-y property in Menu 2 to be it's default value (which is the same as overflow's) it's still hidden and there's a scroll box.
now just in case if there was something weird in overflow is still set for the y axis i went and copied the menu class for Menu 3 but instead of doing overflow:hidden i just did overflow-x:hidden; but that still have be a scrollbar. Menu 4 shows how if overflow is set to visible (the default value) i have no scroll bar and my submenu goes out of the box as it should.
My question is why doesn't overflow-y:visible look the same as overflow:visible? to my understanding, overflow:visible is just overflow-x:visible; overflow-y:visible much like how border:1px solid #000000 is the same as setting all the border sides's width, style and color one by one
overflow-x and overflow-y are part of CSS3 (while plain overflow is CSS2), and are still somewhat experimental. The rules for what happens when one value is a "scrolling value" (which includes hidden) and the other is visible are complex, and frankly confusing.
From the CSS3 Overflow Spec:
... if one cascaded values [sic] is one of the scrolling values and the other is ‘visible’, then computed values are the cascaded values with ‘visible’ changed to ‘hidden’.
This seems to justify the behavior you're seeing, but I don't understand why it was designed that way.
overflow: visible;
does not clip content and can be shown out side of content box but for
overflow-y; visible;
content clipped against content box with overflow auto default
I made a revised fiddle but the main issue I found is that the style for .menu was applied to all four menus and that part of its definition was overflow: hiddden, so you were basically getting a conflict with Menu 2. Deleting overflow: hidden from .menu in the first line of your CSS makes both Menu 2 and Menu 4 have the same behavior as you were expecting.
sorry if this has been asked before, I've looked and have tried several options but I can't seem to get this to work. I want to center my submenu. Each parent item has variable widths, and the submenu items also have variable widths.. This is my code:
.menu-wrap ul li{margin:0;padding:0;display:inline-block}
.menu-wrap ul li>a{font-size:16px;color:rgba(0,0,0,.6);display:block}
.menu-wrap ul li>ul{position:absolute;float:left;left:0;right:auto;top:90px;width:auto;padding:10px 0;background:#fff;opacity:0;border-top:solid 1px rgba(245,130,32,1)}
.menu-wrap ul li.parent:hover>ul{opacity:1}
<ul class="nav menu">
<li class="item-101">Home</li>
<li class="item-129 parent">About
<ul class="nav-child">
<li class="item-148">About Us</li>
<li class="item-116">Testimonials</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="item-114 parent">Services
<ul class="nav-child">
<li class="item-122">Services Page Example</li>
<li class="item-123">Services Page Example 2</li>
<li class="item-124">Services Page Example 3</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="item-154">Case Studies</li>
<li class="item-115">Gallery</li>
<li class="item-149">FAQ's</li>
<li class="item-117">Contact</li>
</ul>
Currently it's just left aligned.

how to float third child menu to left?
i want to float 3rd child menu to left like the main menu "item1"
html
<nav id="nav">
<ul>
<li>Item1
<ul>
<li>Menu 1</li>
<li>Menu 1</li>
<li>Menu 1</li>
<li>Menu 1
<ul class"right-menu">
<li>Menu 2</li>
<li>Menu 2</li>
<li>Menu 2</li>
<li>Menu 2</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
You can target the 3rd child in CSS using the :nth-child syntax.
CSS
#nav ul li ul li:nth-child(3)
However if you want something that will be supported in all browsers I tend to use the adjacent sibling selector or "+".
In your example the css would be:
#nav ul li ul li + li + li {
float:left;
}
Although i would recommend using some classes so that you can reduce the huge number of selectors requires to do this.
Can someone help me. I have this html code and i want to design my submenus with css, but i am new in this and i really need a help
<div class="nav-collapse collapse">
<ul id="nav-list" class="nav pull-right">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Updates</li>
<li>Screenshots</li>
<li>How to</li>
<ul>
<li>Sub Item 1.1</li>
<li>Sub Item 1.2</li>
</ul>
<li>Permissions</li>
<li>Download</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
I want to have dropdown list for my submenus.My menu is horizontal at the moment
To get you started...
.nav li ul { display: none; }
.nav li:hover ul { display: block;}
Your HTML needs a minor edit also... You need to nest the sub-menu <ul> inside the parent <li>. Like below:
<li>How to
<ul>
<li>Sub Item 1.1</li>
<li>Sub Item 1.2</li>
</ul>
</li>
Here is a jsfiddle demonstrating this working, obviously it is not horizontal as I lack the styles you already made, the functionality still works however when you hover the mouse over "How To":
