Responsive menu/submenu with div contents

[drimades77]

Hi everybody!
I was looking at the implementation in:

I would like to add some divs in the html, that are initially hidden. Once the user clicks on menu item/subitem the respective div appears based on an id. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

It’s probably best to do it with some JS to toggle the display of the element.

Add a class of .destination to the menu items as required and supply the destination ID in the href.

e.g.

<li class="menu-item"><a class="destination" href="#section1">Big Widgets</a></li>
 <li class="menu-item"><a class="destination" href="#section2">Bigger Widgets</a></li>

... and so on....

Then the html would be something like.

<main class="main">
  <section id="section1" class="section s1">
    <h2>Section 1 big Widgets</h2>  
  </section>
  
    <section id="section2" class="section s2">
    <h2>Section 2 Bigger Widgets</h2>  
  </section>

etc...
   
</main>

Then call it with some JS.

(function (d) {
  "use strict";

  const menu = d.querySelectorAll(".destination");
  const section = d.querySelectorAll(".section");

  //hide all by default
  section.forEach((item) => {
    item.classList.add("hide");
  });

  menu.forEach((item) => {
    item.addEventListener("click", (event) => {
      hideAll();
      showDiv(item.hash);
    });
  });

  function hideAll() {
    section.forEach((item) => {
      item.classList.add("hide");
      item.classList.remove("active");
    });
  }

  function showDiv(targetDiv) {
    d.querySelector(targetDiv).classList.add("active");
  }
})(document);

Lastly some CSS to style it.

.menu{
  height:60px;/* this will be needed otherwise the page will jump with the expanding menu */
}
.main{
  max-width:1080px;
  margin:auto;
}
.section{
  padding:1rem;
  background:#ccc;
}
.section.hide{display:none;}
.section.active{
  display:block;
}

That’s the basics anyway.

Here’s a codepen that demonstrates the above although it has a couple of extra functions to highlight the nav and to turn off the current one.
