ACTIONpack Share Posted February 5, 2014 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. http://cssdeck.com/labs/0pgruqby Link to post Share on other sites
0 Brian M. Veteran Solution Share Posted February 5, 2014 Here is a very simple (oversimplified) example of what you're trying to do: http://jsfiddle.net/yGp4f/ The whole thing can be done with no classes and one line of JS if needed. Link to post Share on other sites

0 Brian M. Veteran Share Posted February 5, 2014 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. Link to post Share on other sites
0 the better twin Share Posted February 5, 2014 Lots of things wrong here. Your selector is wrong. Theres no a with a class of dropdown. Theres no such function as onclick either. Link to post Share on other sites

0 the better twin Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yea, Trying to fix it now but no go. I made changes but not working. 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(); }); Link to post Share on other sites

0 acido00 Share Posted February 5, 2014 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. 1 Share Link to post Share on other sites
