FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How do I hide a drop down menu?

If you simply want to show and hide dropdown menu on mouse hover you don't need any JavaScript. You can do this simply using the CSS display property and :hover pseudo-class.

How do I toggle Show hide in jQuery?

The toggle() method toggles between hide() and show() for the selected elements. This method checks the selected elements for visibility. show() is run if an element is hidden. hide() is run if an element is visible.

Which CSS property is used to show dropdown items?

Instead of using a border, we have used the CSS box-shadow property to make the dropdown menu look like a 'card'. The :hover selector is used to show the dropdown menu when the user moves the mouse over the dropdown button.
