JQuery :: Trying To Create Dropdown Menu - Stay Open While Hovered?
May 26, 2010
I know this is simple and has been done before. I'm trying to create a dropdown menu for secondary links. I want it to appear when you hover over a primary link. I can't do a simple .hover function with two handlers because once the user moves the mouse to go into the secondary menu, it will slide back away.
The easy solution is to put that secondary menu within the selector of the primary menu - but it's not possible with my setup.
I've been looking for a solution to a dropdown menu problem where the button does not stay hovered when the list is navigated/as soon as the cursor leaves the button area. At the moment the effect is setup using css sprites (locally) but I have seperate images also for the 2 states.
I have a horizontal menu with some subitems. At the moment when I click on the main menu the submenu is being shown and it remains open even if I click anywhere on the page. But here is the tricky part, when I click on a menu item (in the submenu) I want the submenu to display the items on which the page is.For example the menu looks like this:home
I mainly do PHP/MySQL coding, but I wanted to add this Javascript Accordion Menu to my site:
Javascript And CSS Tutorial - Accordion Menus | Switch on the Code [URL]
It works fine, but I was wondering if there was a simple way to modify the code so that the currently open menu stays open from page to page instead of closing upon each page reload?
I have a menu with some items containing a submenu. The submenu's should open when a parent is clicked and contains submenu's, and when traveling to another page (from the item clicked, for example a parent of submenu item), the submenu should remain active and visible.
When I click on a parent (at the moment the hrefs contain no links just #), the submenu opens. But when I click another main item, the submenu of the previous parent remain visible, and the submenu of the parent just clicked is also visible, while I only want the submenu of the parent clicked to be visible or when parent with no submenu the submenu should be invisible.
I'm trying to achieve a notification feature which you see on facebook, myspace and so on. Here the trick that I use:I've pulled a number of data that a user has not been read (where active ='0') from a database to display on a notification icon on the menubar -- the exact notification icon you will see on facebook and myspace -- says 2 unread messages in bright red.As the user click on the notification button to open up a dropdown menu and read their unread messages I process the script and update the active = '0' to active = '1' and refresh the page.The problem is when the page is refreshed, the dropdown menu and the notification both disappeared.How do I remove only that number in red and keep the dropdown menu open, I know that both facebook and myspace didn't even refresh a page.In this case, I don't even know whether I use javascript or ajax. I've stolen (borrowed) the feature from twitter.
Basically, I am trying to create a drop down menu that, when a link is chosen, instead of leading to an external page will make information appear underneath... is this possible, and if so, how?
Clicking on the menu buttons, a box with some info opens, ad under that, a div that makes the body of the site black. the problem is when i click a different button, to open a different box, the "div#black" should stay open and not toggle. i tried this
var black = $("div#black").toggle() ; if (black == false { $("div#black).fadeIn("slow"); };
and this was the javascript for the button (with the toggle function, when i didn't use the if/else):
[Code]....
I don't know which is the correct way to write the if statement, i used easier ones but this one is to complex for me :D i think the main problem is the "var"
I have a mega menu that when the main menu items is hovered over the mega menu the div is displayed. I want to keep the div from being shown off the right of the browser screen. I have the following that determines the amount a div is off the right of the browser:
Code: function keepMenuLeft(){ var div_width = $("li.hovering div").width();
I would like to create a page that has a dropdown menu populated with a list of images. When someone selects an image, the image and a URL to a webpage will display (screenshot below). Each image will have a different URL. How do I accomplish this?
The accordion-menu I created works nice from the bottom, but if the mouse comes from top it isn't functional. Do you know a trick to let the bullets open if the mouse comes from the top?[code]
I am working on getting this script to work on my page but can't get the hovered anchor to maintain it's state when moving to the mega menu. I'm hoping to have a tabbed look to the drop down much like at[URL]..
However, being new to jQuery this looks a bit daunting the way this script was written. I've seen examples coded much more simply than this one. This one seems like the author was trying to obfuscate the intent behind the code.
Is there an easy way to modify this code to allow for the anchor that triggers the event to maintain it's hover state even when moving to the drop-down?
I want to create a menu like the left (as we see that) menu of getitnow.gr.Do you know any script for this?I use prototype framework,is there any script related with prototype? I mean a script that make the menu to stay even we use the scrollbar of the brownser.
I´m using the superfish jquery Module at the website of a costumers. [url] Now the costumer wants that the submenus always where displayed and stay extended! If i chose "other parameters" in the superfish menu options i can enable Expand Menu. But my menu is still not expanded! Nothing happens! Is there a easy possibility to do this? I am using Joomla 1.5 with the latest Updates!
I wanted to create a small DHTML code that created a unordered list of input forms dependent on the number selected from the select dropdown menu. Problem is that it doesn't seem to want to generate the list. I think the variables are within the scope of the function too, and I didn't get an errors from the javascript console when using firebug. The script itself runs, I tested it when I used the old standby alert(); to see if the script was active. Here's the code:
I have a project where I need a selection of one dropdown menu may affect the select of multiple other dropdown menus on the same page.First, a table is generated, and within each row, it contains a dropdown menu. Assume: Rows A, B, C, etc..., and Dropdown selection: 1, 2, & 3If dropdown in Row A selects 2, then I want the selection of dropdowns in rows B & C to dynamically change to 2.And if in Row C user selects 3, then the selection in dropdowns in rows A & B should dynamically change to 3.
I'm only adding this code to a few pages. I have the background changing over each linked hover, but is there anyway for me to allow one item remain that background color to indicate which page my visitors are currently on. If you can show me how to do one, I can figure out the rest. Code below.
My problem is I had a drop down menu for a horizonal menu bar but the drop down items are about 4 items long . It works fine for first menu item, but the second one is positioned beneath the first one because it can't fit it's menu on the same line as the previous one.
I have set the submenus to hidden meaning they are there which is why they are taking up the space the other item needs to use when it's menu item is rolled over.
Is there a way to set items so they are invisible but not taking up room when invisible?
It was originally an imaged based menu, but they wanted it all changed to css/html. I used quickmenu and it used JS to produce the arrows at the top of each menu item.I'm trying to program the menu items to stay active when on the current page. At first, it looks correct, but if you hover back over the menu, it changes back to the inactive state.
I am doing an internship at a company and am working on an existing site. The Company wants the expanding menu to stay expanded when you click a link to go to another page while navigating. I am very new to Javascript, CSS, and html and could really use some insight or code example.

I have created a jquery accordion menu for a brilliant CMS called 'Concrete5' and all works lovely BUT I now would like the menu to stay open if a menu item is selected within the drop list.I have manged to create the following.....
var pathname = window.location.pathname; var selecteda = $(".nav-selected a").attr("href"); // alert (selecteda)
[code]....
..but it doesn't seem to work.I'm not a JQuery GOD like most of you on here but I am trying my hardest The accordion menu I am trying to get this to happen on is Accordion Menu.
The purpose of the code is to slideToggle open one of two hidden sub-nav bars when either of two different menu items are clicked upon - instead of a drop down menu. What doesn't work is the hiding of the div that is not required, if it is already open. Viewing in firebug shows that the appropriate classes are being applied - I suspect the reason is that slideToggle has been somehow set and cannot be unset via another object - but perhaps that is not it at all?
$(document).ready(function() { //add .toggle function to appropriate li element $('#hozmenu li:nth-child(4)').toggle(function () { //set 4th menu links colour to be green whilst div is shown $('#hozmenu li:nth-child(4) a').css('color', '#95d890'); $('#toggle_nav_services').removeClass('toggle_show'); [Code]....
I am trying to use the Jquery selecmenu to skin dropdowns.There are extra UL LI getting formed with data "undefined" so dropdown is showing undefined in end.
I am trying to create a specific menu using jQuery where i want to toggle a clicked menu item. I used toggleClass to accomplish this. All fine and well, but what i want is that once i click a menu item, the previously clicked item should have the active state/class toggled off.. The menu is variable. (I tried and tried and searched all over the internet, but i cannot find it... spent 5 hours trying to combine various selectors and if/else statements, but it did'nt work.)
