Simple dropdown click jQuery

[ACTIONpack 491]

I'm not good at jQuery and would like to be able to click and the menu would drop down. I'm trying to do it but its not working. Here is my sample. Want to do it instead of hover so people can use it on menu.

Here is a very simple (oversimplified) example of what you're trying to do:

The whole thing can be done with no classes and one line of JS if needed.

If you try to extend it:

Change:

 

$(this).find('ul')

to

 

$(this).parent().find('ul')

The ul isn't in the <a>, it's in the parent li.

Also, you refer to a.dropdown, which doesn't exist - that means: a with the class dropdown.

Lots of things wrong here.

Your selector is wrong. Theres no a with a class of dropdown. 

Theres no such function as onclick either.

Pretty simple and you can use slideToggle to cut down on your repetition too. Just add a class to your first unordered list and then change your jQuery to the following(i would target the list item as opposed to the anchor tag which you dont need):

$('ul.main li').click(function(){
     $(this).find('ul').slideToggle();
});

Try that and still no go.

Thanks for your help!

I suggest you go for a CSS dropdown menu: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/website-design/using-css/simple-css-drop-down-menu

 

I implemented that one and it worked in all mobile devices and desktop and even IE 7.
