how to delete the padding on my dropdown-menu list because its destroying the background color i put in there. This is the image of my current dropdown-list which having some problem on padding:
Here are few things
Incorrect html structure
<li>Foods</li>
change it to
<li>Foods</li>
show us the style for li, a and .divider
which one is using background: #809109;
I guess you need to remove padding of li
.dropdown-menu > li{
padding:0px
}
or you can add background-color for li too
.dropdown-menu > li{
background-color:#809109;
}
Though the problem statement is incomplete and the html syntax is faulty, still this problem can occur without those. The problem lies in inserting the divider or horizontal rule, whatever separator you are using. For these, the Unordered List tag adds additional padding which might be the case in this problem. You can use one of the methods mentioned in this answer to solve your problem:
Remove padding from unordered list
First, I'm aware of this posts:
Activating bootstrap dropdown menu on hover
Bootstrap Dropdown with Hover
How to make twitter bootstrap menu dropdown on hover rather than click
And others, but still not found the correct solution yet, here's what I did so far.
first I used the is-open attribute from the angular-bootstrap dropdown directive like this:
<span class="dropdown" dropdown is-open="status.isopen">
<a
href
class="dropdown-toggle"
ng-mouseenter="status.isopen = true"
ng-mouseleave="status.isopen = false"
>
hover me for a dropdown with angular-bootstrap
</a>
<ul
class="dropdown-menu"
>
<li ng-repeat="choice in items">
<a href>{{choice}}</a>
</li>
</ul>
</span>
that seemed to work but 2 bugs appeared:
the first is when dropdown-toggle element is clicked the dropdown menu is gone clicking again wont bring it back you have to mouseleave then mouse enter the dropdown-tooggle to get the dropdown-menu back.
the second is a css/html problem.
Usually the regular css solution for a dropdown is like this:
<a class="css-dropdown">
hover here with css.
<div class="css-dropdown-menu">
<p>item 1</p>
<p>item 2</p>
<p>item 3</p>
</div>
</a>
Notice the dropdown-menu now is inside the dropdown-toggle element which mean when moving with the mouse from the dropdown-toggle to the dropdown-menu it's moving from parent to child, so basically we still hovering over the dropdown-toggle since we are in it's child, which mean the dropdown-menu will still be visible, on other hand, the bootstrap dropdown works with the click event so having the dropdown-menu as a child of the dropdown-toggle is not needed, but now when someone wants to change the behavior to mouseenter/hover once the mouse leaves the dropdown-toggle the dropdown-menu disappear so we no longer have access to the dropdown-menu elements this is visible in this plunker
To fix the first bug, I just removed the dropdown directive then replaced the is-open with ng-class directive like this.
Change this:
<span class="dropdown" dropdown is-open="status.isopen">
to this:
<span class="dropdown" ng-class="{'open': status.isopen}">
The rest stays the same plunker that fixed the first bug.
The second bug is tricky, since the dropdown-menu is no longer a child of the dropdown-toggle the hover effect wont last while moving from the toggle to the menu, so I did this.
Changed this:
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
to this:
<ul
class="dropdown-menu"
ng-mouseenter="status.isopen = true"
ng-mouseleave="status.isopen = false"
>
That did it but another bug appeared when clicking the dropdown-menu item it stays open, so I kept hacking by doing this.
changed this:
<li ng-repeat="choice in items">
to this:
<li ng-repeat="choice in items" ng-click="status.isopen = false">
That give me the required behavior plunker.
That said, this is not a good solution since a lot of directives are involved here for a simple visual effect, the last plunker I provided contains a css solution with no Bootstrap or AngularJS involved, though it is the required behavior it is not the required html structure or visual result, what I need is to have a space between the dropdown-toggle and the dropdown-menu not a padding of the toggle element just an empty space, which make the css solution not valid in this situation.
So, my question is there a better way of doing this without adding a new plugin/library more clean and easily reusable solution for the hover drop down menu?
First, have the toggling on the top-most parent element (in this case, the <span>)
<span class="btn-group" dropdown is-open="status.isopen" ng-mouseenter="status.isopen = true" ng-mouseleave="status.isopen = false">
<a class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" dropdown-toggle>
Button dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li>Action</li>
<li>Another action</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>Separated link</li>
</ul>
</span>
This will allow the behavior you wanted - while still allowing clicking to show/hide the menu ;-)
However there's an annoyance: if you move the mouse cursor slower and pass the small gap between the toggle and menu, it will hide the menu.
So secondly, add a small CSS to remove the gap
.dropdown-menu {
margin-top: 0;
}
See the action in this plunker.
I know you want a solution without adding a new plugin/library, but you (or others seeking for this behavior) might want to try using No Close from Dropdown Enhancements lib to keep the dropdown open even after clicking in one of its options:
Do not close the menu on click on radio add class .noclose.
<div class="btn-group">
<button data-toggle="dropdown" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle">
Checked option <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu noclose">
<li>
<input type="radio" id="gr1_1" name="gr1" value="1">
<label for="gr1_1">Option 1</label>
</li>
<li>
<input type="radio" id="gr1_2" name="gr1" value="2">
<label for="gr1_2">Option 2</label>
</li>
<li>
<input type="radio" id="gr1_3" name="gr1" value="3">
<label for="gr1_3">Option 3</label>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Also add a CSS solution for the hovering problem:
.btn-group:hover .dropdown-menu.noclose {
display: block;
}
.dropdown-menu.noclose {
margin-top: 0px;
}
And, of course, don't forget to import the libs:
<script src="./js/dropdowns-enhancement.min.js"></script>
<link href="./css/dropdowns-enhancement.css" rel="stylesheet"\>
In your case I suggest you to study the Dropdown Enhancements's source code to see how it works and maybe find a more suitable solution.
Try adding this line to your css:
.btn-group:hover>.dropdown-menu { display: block; margin-top: 0; }
You'll have to remove your is-open, ng-mouseenter and ng-mouseleave directives.
Below is the solution I came up with, while working on the same issue.
I used a simple custom directive that:
binds the mouseenter and mouseleave events to the dropdown in order correctly to show/hide the menu.
dynamically adds a custom CSS class to the dropdown menu in order to prevent the menu from disappearing when moving the cursor from the button to the menu. Note that this solution has the advantage of not removing the visual gap between the button and menu.
prevents the menu from disappearing when the button is clicked.
The CSS rule uses a before pseudo-element to fill the gap between the button and the menu. I added the border property which can be uncommented to easily get a visual feedback.
.dropdown-hover-menu::before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
top: -3px;
height: 3px;
/*border: 1px solid black;*/
}
The HTML structure of the snippet is based on the available examples in the dropdown section of the angular-ui bootstrap documentation
angular.module('app', ['ui.bootstrap'])
.directive('dropdownHover', function() {
return {
require: 'uibDropdown',
link: function(scope, element, attrs, dropdownCtrl) {
var menu = angular.element(element[0].querySelector('.dropdown-menu')),
button = angular.element(element[0].querySelector('.dropdown-toggle'));
menu.addClass('dropdown-hover-menu');
element.bind('mouseenter', onMouseenter);
element.bind('mouseleave', onMouseleave);
button.bind('click', onClick);
function openDropdown(open) {
scope.$apply(function() {
dropdownCtrl.toggle(open);
});
}
function onMouseenter(event) {
if (!element.hasClass('disabled') && !attrs.disabled) {
openDropdown(true);
}
};
function onMouseleave(event) {
openDropdown(false);
};
function onClick(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
}
scope.$on('$destroy', function() {
element.unbind('mouseenter', onMouseenter);
element.unbind('mouseleave', onMouseleave);
button.unbind('click', onClick);
});
}
};
});
.dropdown-hover-menu::before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
top: -3px;
height: 3px;
/*border: 1px solid black;*/
}

On 3 buttons at the end of each of my post page, I would like to put a hover color when people are clicking on one of them. Here is an example of the 3 buttons:
In my PHP file, these 3 buttons are located here: Post Page
<ul class="tabnav-widget ui-tabs-nav">
<li class="ui-tabs-selected">
<a class="" href="#tab1-widget">written by</a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="" href="#tab3-widget">Related Posts</a>
</li>
<li class="">
<a class="" href="#tab4-widget">In this Category</a>
</li>
</ul>
But I don't know what CSS class I have to modify and which CSS code to add in order to maintain a hovering color when clicking on one of the three buttons.
I thank you in advance, any help is appreciated.
Change this in the CSS
.tabnav li:hover, .tabnav-widget li:hover {
background: #color;
}
Additionally, if you would like to change the color when the button is pressed down, use :active.
Add something like this:
.tabnav li:active, .tabnav-widget li:active {
background: #color;
}
I want to select all li which not contains a tag in css:
ul.sf-menu li:not(a)
But looks like it is not working.
Need help
<ul class="sf-menu sf-js-enabled sf-shadow">
<li>
<a href="/ ">
</li>
<li> need to select this li because it is not contains a href
A
<ul style="visibility: visible; display: block">
<li>
<a href="/B-1">
</li>
<li>
B-2
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Two things
1) Your selector doesn't match the question you're asking. It currently selects every LI that is not an Anchor. This should be every LI on the page.
2) What you want can't be done with CSS right now. Your best bet would be to use some JavaScript to do this. For instance, the following jQuery would work.
$("ul.sf-menu li:not(:has(a))").doSomething()
i have this
<li><a href="#" >title</a> <span style='text-align:right;'>(0)</span></li>
its not working
and this
<li><a href="#" >title</a> <span style='float:right;'>(0)</span></li>
its go to the down line (not working)
its appear like that
|title (0) |
i want it
|title (0)|
There is likely a more elegant solution to do this but this should work:
<li style="position:relative">
title <span style="position:absolute; right:0;">(0)</span>
</li>
You may want to add padding-right to the li to account for the space used by the span so that the link text and the span don't overlap.
