Hi All,

I am really struggling with this dropdown menu and it’s delaying multiple projects. If someone can help - I would be super grateful! Please view the video above and you will see:

  1. Dropdown won’t stay open. This could be because there is space between the nav bar and the drop down. How do I make the nav bar the same size throughout so it eliminates the space?

  2. I can’t find the dropdown for the other views (i.e. mobile).

  3. The ends of the dropdown menu design are whit and should be black. but when I look in my design, they are all black. :frowning:

Anybody out there that can help?

Hi Felicia,

I hate to say this but there are really way too many details to communicate in a forum post. There’s quite a bit of work here to clean up the nav so that it performs the way you want.

You’ll likely need to hire a designer to do some fixups here, it’s requires a bit of understanding about relative and absolute positioning, stacking orders, z-index, etc.

Two tips I can give-

  • You’re building a megamenu here, so with your absolute positioning setup you’d need to adjust for your relative-positioned menus. I’d make sure that only the navbar element itself is relative, but each dropdown menu could be different.
  • Your white background color is on the opened state of the dropdown list, you can undo that to get your black background back.

Haven’t looked at mobile, there’s a lot to do on desktop before you tackle that.
