How To: Make a Dropdown Menu

CODE TO COPY:


<!-- START DROPDOWN -->


<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<style>

.dropbtn {

  background-color: #4CAF50;

  color: white;

  padding: 16px;

  font-size: 16px;

  border: none;

  cursor: pointer;

}


.dropdown {

  position: relative;

  display: inline-block;

}


.dropdown-content {

  display: none;

  position: absolute;

  background-color: #f9f9f9;

  min-width: 160px;

  box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);

  z-index: 1;

}


.dropdown-content a {

  color: black;

  padding: 12px 16px;

  text-decoration: none;

  display: block;

}


.dropdown-content a:hover {background-color: #f1f1f1}


.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {

  display: block;

}


.dropdown:hover .dropbtn {

  background-color: #3e8e41;

}

</style>

</head>

<body>


<div class="dropdown">

  <button class="dropbtn">Dropdown</button>

  <div class="dropdown-content">

  <a href="#">Link 1</a>

  <a href="#">Link 2</a>

  <a href="#">Link 3</a>

</div>

</div>


<p><strong>Note:</strong> Hover your mouse over the text to see the menu.</p>


</body>

</html>


<!-- END DROPDOWN -->




INSTRUCTION:


Everything that is in Bold is changeable.


The # (hash-tags) are placeholders for links. The spaces that say "Link 1" or "Link 2" are where text will go, instead of a plain link.


For my profile, I left the hash-tags (#) the same and changed the Link 1/2 property.


To add more links, copy (or type out)


<a href="#">LINK NAME</a>


and paste it below the other link spots. (Link 1/2/3)



EXAMPLE:

Note: Hover your mouse over the text to see the menu.
