}
.navbar-mini-menu {
display: block;
}
.navbar-mini-menu .mini-menu-options {
display: none;
}
}
</style>
Step 3 – Add JavaScript
We use some external JavaScript link to this code. No need to worry about this, copy and paste below code between <head></head> tag.
<head>
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js" >
</head>
And also copy and paste below JavaScript code between <script></script> tag.
<script>
$(document).on("ready",function() {
var menuState = 0;
$(".btn-select").on("click",function() {
if(menuState === 0) {
$(".mini-menu-options").slideDown("slow");
menuState = 1;
} else {
$(".mini-menu-options").slideUp("slow");
menuState = 0;
}
});
$(".mini-menu-options li").on("click", function() {
var numHijos = $(this).children().length;
if(numHijos < 2) {
$(".mini-menu-options").hide("fast");
var texto = $(this).text();
$(".menu-select .menu-actual").text(texto);
}
menuState = 0;
});
});
</script>
At the end we will have something like this. You can change fonts, colors, backgrounds and all things that you want.Enjoy it.
