How do i make a button dropdown while hovering?

July 13, 2022

We have to make a project at school and i want to make this dropdown inside a navbar expand once you hover it. I’ve tried diffrent solutions but so far all I get is a button that requires a click or all the options beneath each other without a dropdown.

  <li class="nav-item">
                            <div class="dropdown" id="collapsibleNavbar">
                            <ul class="navbar-nav">
                            <li class="nav-item dropdown">
                            <a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdown" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
                            Category</a>
                            <div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
                            <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Login</a>
                            <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
                            <div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
                            <a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
                            </div>
                        </li>

>Solution :

You can do this using CSS, and Bootstrap.

Here is a working example.

@import url('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.6.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css');


.container {
    margin-top: 10px;
}

.dropdown:hover .dropdown-menu {
    display: block;
    margin-top: 0;
 }

       <div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
            <div class="navbar-inner">
                <div class="container"> 
                    <ul class="nav">
                        <li class="dropdown"><a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Link</a>
                            <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                                <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
                                <li><a href="#opening">Link</a></li>
                            </ul>
                        </li>
    
                    </ul>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
