I am designing the home page for a project and the dropdown content is both behind the below navigation menu (primary-nav) and hidden offscreen to the right. I had this working with a margin-right tag but somehow I broke the code between then and now.
Also, the basic structure of my page is designed using flexbox so I’m not sure if that helps. I use flexbox to stick the footer to the bottom and not cover content.
Here is an excerpt of my style.css:
JavaScript
x
/* || Dropdown Menus || */
.dropdown {
overflow: hidden;
text-align: center;
padding-right: 8px;
float: left;
}
.dropdown .dropbtn {
background-color: transparent;
border: none;
outline: none;
color: white;
font-family: inherit;
/* Important for vertical align on mobile phones */
margin: 0;
/* Important for vertical align on mobile phones */
cursor: pointer;
}
.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #3f69a8;
min-width: 160px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
white-space: nowrap;
z-index: 10000;
}
.dropdown .dropdown-content a,
.dropdown .dropdown-content h3 {
color: white;
padding: 5px;
display: block;
text-align: left;
font-size: 16px;
white-space: nowrap;
float: none;
}
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {
/* Show dropdown menu on hover */
display: block;
}
.dropdown-content a:hover {
background-color: darkgray;
}
/* Top Navigation */
.navbar {
overflow: hidden;
background: #3f69a8;
width: 100%;
height: 70px;
display: inline;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 25px;
margin: 0;
padding: 15px;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: 5;
}
.logobtn {
background-color: transparent;
border: none;
}
.navbar a {
font-size: 30px;
color: white;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
}
/* || PRIMARY MENU || */
.primary-nav {
align-items: center;
height: 50px;
left: 0px;
padding: 15px;
width: 100%;
margin: 0px;
background-color: darkgray;
display: block;
position: fixed;
top: 70px;
z-index: 3;
}
.primary-nav a {
color: white;
font-size: 16px;
}
And here is my home.php:
JavaScript
<nav class="navbar">
<button class="logobtn">
<a href="home.php" title="Home"><i class="fas fa-shapes"></i> <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:40px">S</span>hape <span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:40px">S</span>earch</a>
</button>
<div class="dropdown" style="float:right; width: 10%;">
<button class="dropbtn">
<i class="fas fa-cog fa-2x" title="Settings"></i>
</button>
<div class="dropdown-content">
<button class="dark-mode-btn" onclick="toggleDark()"><i class="fas fa-adjust"></i> Dark Mode
</button>
<a href="#"><i class="fa-regular fa-earth-americas"></i>Language</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="dropdown" style="float:right; width:10%;">
<button class="dropbtn">
<i class="fas fa-user-circle fa-2x" title="Account"></i>
</button>
<div class="dropdown-content">
<h3>Welcome $username!</h3>
<a href="editProfile.php"><i class="fas fa-user-edit"></i> My Profile</a>
<a href="manageUploads.php"><i class="fas fa-upload"></i> Manage Uploads</a>
<a href="history.php"><i class="far fa-clock"></i> History</a>
<a href="logout.php"><i class="fas fa-sign-out-alt"></i> Logout</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="dropdown" style="float:right; width:10%">
<button class="dropbtn">
<i class="fas fa-bell fa-2x" title="Notifications"></i>
</button>
<div class="dropdown-content">
<a href="#">Notifications Center</a>
<a href="#">Clear Notifications</a>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
