WDS63 - Drop the Menu Down

In the last 3 articles, we learned about various ways to implement navigation bar using CSS and now you can easily implement them in web pages. Moving forward, we are going to learn about dropdowns in CSS. Dropdowns are used when you have to give more information about a particular element but do want to show only if the user is interested.

Create Basic Dropdown

Important points to note:
  • Create div containing text to hover inside which another div containing text to be shown after hovering
  • Initially hide the content of second div using display property
  • Use :hover pseudo-class on the first div to change display property of the second div
Now create dropdown yourself without seeing the code...

Create Dropdown Menu

The example is very similar to the previous one except we will add a list of links inside hover content.

Create Dropdowns Inside Navbar

You can easily create dropdowns inside navbars by placing above created element as one of the list element in the navbar items list.

Use dropdowns on Images

Although not used frequently, we can use the dropdown to show the full image when the user hovers over the small image. You just have to replace text in above examples by images and set the height and width property of images accordingly.

That's all for today. In the next article, we are going to learn about tooltips in CSS which are used to show help test in web pages when you hover over them which uses the same concept as we used today.

WDS85 - Animate the CSS(Part 3)

In the last two articles, we learned about animations in CSS and various ways to customize them with the help of iterations and animation delays. Now in today's article, we are going to learn more about them so that to customize them even more. Let's begin... Reverse Directions and Alternate Cycles The animation-direction property in CSS decides whether we want to play animation forward, backward or in alternate cycles. Following values are possible: normal - This is the default. Animation plays as normal(forward). reverse - The animation plays in reverse direction that is backward. alternate - The animation first plays forward and then backward. alternate-reverse - The animation first plays backward and then forward.

Now in today's class, we are going to learn animations in CSS which creates animations without the use of javascript or flash. CSS Animations A CSS animation lets us change an element's style from one to another. We can change as many properties as we want. To use this CSS animations, we have to first specify some keyframe rules which include how and which properties are we changing. The @keyframes Rule When we specify CSS styles inside the  @keyframes rule, the animations will gradually change from current style to new style at certain times. To get these working, we must bind animations to an element. Let's understand more by an example... @keyframes myAnimation { from { background-color : blue ;} to { background-color : red ;} } div { width : 100px ; height : 100px ; background-color : b
