Andrea Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 What do you mean by 'JavaScript of Navigation Bar'? Wherever you get the script, doesn't it tell you there? If you have a JavaScript file, the link to it goes into the head section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prateek091 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Sorry for my confusing question but I mean how to import javascript navigation bar into CSS though I have no knowledge of java.

Andrea Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Java and JavaScript are two totally different things. As to the link you posted - click on the headers and it'll take you to the instruction page for each (Disclaimer: Not all pages appear to be active any more). Usually, the scripts you find online come with documentation to help you get them going. If the one you want doesn't, keep looking. Unfortunately, I cannot help you beyond this, because I do not know JavaScript, either, but in order to use it, you don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grabenair Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 If you want a drop down navigation bar you do not need javascript you can do it all with css. I like to use css over javacsript/jquery whenever possible. If this is what you are looking for (dropdown nav bar) let me know and I will give you some code you can customize.

It's true that you can have CSS only dropdown/flyout menus. The only time you need javascript is for visual effect such as how it drops down or flies out or adding a class to show an arrow indicating there is a sub menu, etc. Almost all my jobs have such script. As for CSS3 made menus, I have not used this on any jobs but I would think improvements have been made. The issue though is that it's doesn't support legacy browsers in which case you need to use jquery so that it does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grabenair Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Yes and no, Eddie. You can use and small image (sprite) for the arrows if you want them and you can use css transitions for a fade in effect. Here is all the code with comments. Personally I do not use javascript/jQuery if I do not have to, because it is less HTTP request to the server making your site load faster. For those that do not know about em's. Yes you can use pixes instead of em's. I just like em's better because it gives me more control than pixels do. For those that do not know em is a relative unit of measurement. It is the size of an uppercase M in whatever font that you are using. And the best thing about using em's is that it is a relative unit of measurement and that the element will scale if the view port is magnified or minified. This is especially nice with buttons. <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>horizontal menu with sub menu</title> <style> html { background: #E6E3D4; } body { font: 100% Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; line-height: 1.4; width: 70%; margin: 0 auto; } /*horizontal menu styles*/ nav{ background:#916A31; height:2.3em;/*what this does with the ul height is make the brown border on the bottom an option to making a bottom border*/ margin-top:100px;/*this is just here to push the nav away from the top of the screen to see the rounded corners.*/ } ul, li{ margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style:none; float:left; } ul{ background:#D5973C; height:2em; width:100%; } li{ position:relative;/*this is because I am using absalute position on the submenu*/ } li a{ display:block; line-height:2em;/*using this with the ul height of 2em to make the height of the ul and the li*/ padding:0 1em; color:#FFF; text-decoration:none; } /*the > is a child cominater<--misspelled is simmler to a desendent selector.
