Buttons suddenly not working and dropdown list is not functioning after some styling

Time:09-18

Buttons suddenly not working and dropdown list is not functioning after some styling. When the dropdown was working it was opening to the top right side no matter which button you pressed. I tried a few things to fix it but I couldn't find an answer. I've stared at the code for a while and I really can't see what I did wrong. I'm assuming I've just been looking at it to long. At this point I'm considering restarting the button portion of the site so I hopefully don't make the same mistake twice. This is sized for an Iphone SE in the dev debugger tool. I'm sure one of you will spot the issue right away so any help would be greatly appreciated.

CodePudding user response:

you are calling the function myFunction and you don't define it in Javascript. You should change this:

document.querySelector('.dropbtn').addEventListener('click', function() {
    document.getElementById("mydropdown").classList.toggle("show");
  });

to:

function myFunction() {
  document.getElementById("mydropdown").classList.toggle("show");
}

You should remove

.dropdown a {
    display: none;
}

and instead add something like this (this css is from w3schools):

.parentcontainer {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
}

.dropdown {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
  min-width: 160px;
  overflow: auto;
  box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
  z-index: 1;
}

.dropdown a {
  color: black;
  padding: 12px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
}

.dropdown a:hover {background-color: #ddd;}

I believe it should work now! p.s. You should also change <button onclick="myfunction()"in your html to myFunction in all occurrences.

CodePudding user response:

Sorry to hear that. I'll try to make it more clear by example. However this will only work for ONE menu. You can't reference two menus by the same id, id has to be unique. So you would need to select all the menus by querySelectorAll('.className'), which returns an array, but I will put that in the next answer so it's clearer. So this would work for one menu, but not for more than one:

HTML dropdown button:

<div >
  <button onclick="myfunction()" >tryptamines</button>
  <i  aria-hidden="true"></i>
  <div id="mydropdown" >
    <a href="#">Link1</a>
    <a href="#">Link2</a>
    <a href="#">Link3</a>
  </div>
</div>

CSS

.dropbtn {
  background-color: #3498db;
  color: white;
  padding: 16px;
  font-size: 16px;
  border: none;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.dropbtn:hover,
.dropbtn:focus {
  background-color: #2980b9;
}

.parentcontainer {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
}

.dropdown {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
  min-width: 160px;
  overflow: auto;
  box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  z-index: 1;
}

.dropdown a {
  color: black;
  padding: 12px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
}

.parentcontainer a:hover {
  background-color: #ddd;
}

.show {
  display: block;
}

JS:

function myfunction() {
  document.getElementById("mydropdown").classList.toggle("show");
}

// Close the dropdown if the user clicks outside of it
window.onclick = function (event) {
  if (!event.target.matches(".dropbtn")) {
    var dropdowns = document.getElementsByClassName("dropdown");
    var i;
    for (i = 0; i < dropdowns.length; i  ) {
      var openDropdown = dropdowns[i];
      if (openDropdown.classList.contains("show")) {
        openDropdown.classList.remove("show");
      }
    }
  }
};

So here's a solution for 2 or more menus. HTML
