  • everybody.

  • What's up?

  • Welcome back to see us history and 30 days.

  • Today's day number 27 we're gonna be building a drop down menu.

  • But first, I'm gonna be making some more modifications to my silly look on microphone here.

  • A student of mine actually suggested that I This has nothing to do with CSS.

  • By the way, he said in the box, it comes with, ah, large pop filter as well as the small one.

  • I think I'm going to try out the big pop filter.

  • So give me one moment.

  • Do you take this off?

  • Well, that is so silly.

  • Thanks, Student, for suggesting this to me.

  • Now I look even more foolish.

  • Oh, maybe it's cool.

  • Back to code.

  • And here we go.

  • We're gonna be making a CSS only drop down menu.

  • This is a super simple lesson, and all we're gonna be doing is building this simple little drop down.

  • So I got a button here that says drop down when I hover over at Bam, we just got three dropped on items.

  • Normally you'd build this, uh, you know, in javascript j query and and also CSS.

  • But I wanted to show you a really simple and lightweight version of just creating a simple CSS three drop down.

  • So up here in our sandbox, we've got just a simple button right here and then three links so that if none of the styles are working, then at least the links are visible, which is important for accessibility reasons.

  • Now let's go over to our code editor and open up the 27 drop down menu Fall were older Folder folder is what it's called and download that.

  • Open it up in your favorite code editor and open up the index and sandbox that CSS.

  • As always, final Nazi SS is there for your reference to make sure that you're on track and if you have any issues, you can always refer to that.

  • So here we go in the index.

  • Just a quick Lee show you the mark up right here in the sandbox.

  • We've got a divot.

  • The class of dropped down a button within that did with the class of drop down menu and then three links.

  • Simple symbol.

  • Sally Super Simple Sam.

  • Super Simple Stallion.

  • Sam set on super simple.

  • Sally and Sam sat on the seawall.

  • Super simple Sally Sam sat in the sandbox, Rico opened the sandbox.

  • And now what we're gonna do is we're just gonna give it.

  • You were gonna say, drop down and we're gonna go position relative, and let's go display in line block.

  • It's gonna be important.

  • And zed Index, let's do 10.

  • I was just use random numbers with that index.

  • Have no rhyme or reason to how I use Zet Index.

  • All I know is that if I have, I want one element in front of the other.

  • Or make sure it's in front of everything.

  • I'll put a really high number.

  • So there's your professional strategy right there.

  • Okay, Now we want to do is going to say, drop down.

  • Double underscore hover.

  • What I'm selecting there is simply the button.

  • It has the class of drop down hover display in line block as well.

  • I want to give this a patting of 10 pixels.

  • So we're just making the button look a little bit nicer here.

  • Um, my fingers are typing a little slower and clunkier than usual.

  • It's a little chilly down here in the basement.

  • I mean, my super high end premium studio up in the sky scraper background, color background.

  • We're gonna go 3 to 3 B 40 kind.

  • Reminds me of you.

  • Be 40.

  • The popular British reggae band.

  • You baby Lovely every day E I want to tell you a love you we even day in.

  • Yeah.

  • Color white arse a cursor pointer.

  • Save it.

  • Let's check it out.

  • Okay, so we've got a button here looking a little bit better, but I want that.

  • Ah, Went that border gone.

  • Buttons have weird borders by default and browsers.

  • So I'm gonna say button.

  • No border?

  • None.

  • So, you know.

  • Yeah, that's much better.

  • Cool.

  • Okay, so now what we're gonna do, we're gonna start zipping through It's a bit more.

  • Have been spending a lot of time making really high quality jokes.

  • So let's get back to coding.

  • Drop down, hover, hover.

  • That's interesting.

  • Background we're going to say to to to show a little bit of a dark gray.

  • And I'm going to also select the drop down double underscore menu.

  • And what we're gonna do here is gonna say position absolutes.

  • We're gonna go display none.

  • So this is the menu itself.

  • That's that, David, the class of dropped on underscore doubloons for menu as a sibling to the button.

  • So display none by default.

  • Top 100% left.

  • Zero.

  • Maybe What I should do is actually not display none for now, so you can actually see it.

  • So I'm gonna just comment that out, and I'm going to show you what's going on over here.

  • So this is starting to take shape.

  • So top 100%.

  • Let me just take that out to show you what happens.

  • Okay?

  • Nothing so far makes it seem like this isn't necessary.

  • Top 100% left.

  • Zero men, which we're gonna give it a 200 pixel men with background white as well.

  • And we're going to say who, baby a lot.

  • Not that background color.

  • 3 to 3 you before I'll be 40.

  • Box shadow.

  • Just giggly today, that's all.

  • 03 pixel to pick soul.

  • And then rgb a 0.3 So a little bit transparent.

  • Okay, check it out.

  • So far, we got a little made, a bit of a menu Here, let me take this top 100% and left out.

  • See if it even really does anything.

  • It's not really mattering right now, but I'm assuming the reason I just I did that was to override any browser specific defaults that might be messing with it.

  • So, for example, like top 0% will be covering that button.

  • The parent, which is the position relative of I do 100%.

  • It's at the it's 100% down that that height.

  • So it keeps it down there.

  • So that's good.

  • Okay, so now what I want to do is I want to fix those links there to make it look like a better list.

  • So I'm gonna say, drop down, double underscore, no drop down, hover and then combine that with dropped down double underscore menu.

  • Okay, display block.

  • When I hover, it's gonna be displayed block.

  • Now, remember, keep in mind, this is normally not displayed it all, but I'm displaying it as none.

  • So the reason why I put that there is because I'm gonna say display takeaway, display none and put that back in.

  • And so now it's not there.

  • I want to have her booms display block.

  • So now it appears.

  • So now we're playing with an actual drop down menu.

  • Okay, uh, we're gonna see padding 10 pixels Start making this look a little bit better.

  • Text decoration?

  • None.

  • I don't want those links have underlines.

  • Border top Solid one pixel one pixel ee Oh, ee oh ee oh ee zero a zero a zero.

  • Save it.

  • Check it out.

  • So far.

  • Looking better.

  • Ah, but those list items need to be Oh, you know what?

  • I didn't do this right?

  • Drop down hover.

  • Final drop down menu is display block.

  • But now this is gonna be dropped down menu, eh?

  • A.

  • There we go.

  • So now we're going to see those links do that.

  • That's better, right?

  • There.

  • Kind of things are looking a little silly.

  • There's a border none and also display block.

  • That's something that we need to do Now.

  • This is looking much nicer.

  • In fact, it's just about done.

  • So now what I want to do is say, drop down, double underscore menu A.

  • And then when you hover over the A elements, background is gonna be fo fo fo or f 000 not f o.

  • Because you can't put the letter o in there at zero color and then 3 to 3 b 40.

  • Save that check it out Boom, boom.

  • Look at that.

  • That is a nice, tidy little CSS only dropped down with Onley.

  • About 49 lines of CSS and very minimal market.

  • Just a few lines of HTML.

  • So there is your CSS only drop down menu.

  • Thanks for spending some time with me today.

  • Coding up.

  • The drop down menu can lead to Seo in gay number 28 don't forget good job.
