Open/Close menu On click using only javascript no jquery

This is my html file
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div class ="mvbar">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li class="pjlist" onclick="load">Projects
<div class="sub1">
<ul>
<div class="arrow1"></div>
<li>Projects1</li>
<li>Projects2</li>
<li>Projects3</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li class="svlist" onclick="load">Services
<div class="sub2">
<ul>
<div class="arrow2"></div>
<li>Services1</li>
<li>Services2</li>
<li>Services3</li>
<li>Services4</li>
<li>Services5</li>
</ul></div>
</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>
</ul>
</div>
</form>
and this is my css class
.mvbar ul {
list-style:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
.mvbar li {
float:left;
width:15%;
text-align:center;
background-color:grey;
border-right:1px solid white;
position:relative;
}
.mvbar li ul{
position:absolute;
top:30px;
}
.mvbar li ul li{
float:none;
width:210%;
text-align:left;
padding-left:4px;
}
.mvbar a {
font-family:'Meiryo UI',Verdana,sans-serif;
color:black;
text-decoration:none;
display:block;
}
.arrow1 {
width:0;
height:0;
border-left:12px solid transparent;
border-right:12px solid transparent;
border-bottom:12px solid grey;
position:relative;
right:-80%;
}
.arrow2 {
width:0;
height:0;
border-left:12px solid transparent;
border-right:12px solid transparent;
border-bottom:12px solid grey;
position:relative;
right:-80%;
}
.sub1 {
visibility:hidden;
}
.sub2 {
visibility:hidden;
}
I can do the same thing in css but requires many exceptions to be added so as to work in each and every browser but javascript is something that I haven't used before and I was suggested that it can be fairly easy to do with it.
So please can someone tell me how to open/close the sub-menu using only javascript.
Thanks in advance!!!

Try this it will work on 'hover' event not on 'click' but full css.
.mvbar ul {
list-style:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
.mvbar li {
float:left;
width:15%;
text-align:center;
background-color:grey;
border-right:1px solid white;
position:relative;
}
.mvbar li ul{
position:absolute;
top: 100%;
width: 50%;
}
.mvbar li ul li{
float:none;
width:210%;
text-align:left;
padding-left:4px;
}
.mvbar a {
font-family:'Meiryo UI',Verdana,sans-serif;
color:black;
text-decoration:none;
display:block;
}
.arrow2,
.arrow1 {
width:0;
height:0;
border-left:12px solid transparent;
border-right:12px solid transparent;
border-bottom:12px solid grey;
position:relative;
right:-80%;
}
.sub1,
.sub2
{
visibility:hidden;
}
ul li:hover div
{
visibility: visible;
}
ul li:hover ul
{
visibility: visible;
}

Try this:
<style>
.mvbar ul {
list-style:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
.mvbar li {
float:left;
width:15%;
text-align:center;
background-color:grey;
border-right:1px solid white;
position:relative;
}
.mvbar li ul{
position:absolute;
top: 100%;
width: 50%;
}
.mvbar li ul li{
float:none;
width:210%;
text-align:left;
padding-left:4px;
}
.mvbar a {
font-family:'Meiryo UI',Verdana,sans-serif;

}
.arrow2,

border-left:12px solid transparent;
border-right:12px solid transparent;
border-bottom:12px solid grey;
position:relative;

}
.sub1,

{
visibility: hidden;
}
</style>

</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>
</ul>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<script>
var myMenu = document.getElementById("pjlist");
var open = false;
myMenu.addEventListener("click", function()
{
if(open)
{
//then close
open = !open;
var mySubMenu = myMenu.getElementsByTagName('div');
mySubMenu[0].style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
else
{
//open
open = !open;
var mySubMenu = myMenu.getElementsByTagName('div');
mySubMenu[0].style.visibility = 'visible';
}
});
</script>
You can use
var myMenus = document.getElementsByClassName()
to add the event listner on all your menu children.
Good Luck

How to toggle the contents of span when clicked?

I have a navigation bar with a drop down menu. I have a + in front of the drop down menu inside a span. I would like the the plus to toggle to - when the menu is dropped down and back to + when the menu is up(hidden). How can I do this?
my html looks like
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li class="shop"><span>+</span>Shop
<ul class="shopList">
<li>New Arrivals</li>
<li>Dresses</li>
<li>Jumpsuits</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Wholesale</li>
<li>Retailers</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
I am currently using js to drop down my menu. Can I add to my current js to achieve this. My js looks like
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.shop').click(function() {
$('.shopList').slideToggle("fast");
});
});
here is my css
nav{
position:relative;
display:block;
width:70%;
margin:0;
padding:3px 15%;
border-top:1px solid #d0d0d0;
text-align:center;
font:15px 'OpenSans';
z-index: 999;
}
nav ul{
position:relative;
width:100%;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
nav li{
display:inline-block;
margin:0 10px;
padding:0;
}
nav li ul li{
position:relative;
display:block;
width:150px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
.shopList{
position:absolute;
display:none;
width:100px;
margin:0 0 0 -50px;
padding:0;
}
nav a{
position:relative;
display:block;
width:auto;
margin:0;
padding:0;
color:#707070;
text-decoration:none;
}

One solution is to compare previous text with new:
$('.shop').click(function() {
$('.shopList').slideToggle("fast");
$("a span", this).text() == "+" ? $("a span", this).text("-") : $("a span", this).text("+");
});
nav {
position: relative;
display: block;
width: 70%;
margin: 0;
padding: 3px 15%;
border-top: 1px solid #d0d0d0;
text-align: center;
font: 15px'OpenSans';
z-index: 999;
}
nav ul {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
nav li {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 10px;
padding: 0;
}
nav li ul {
display: none;
}
nav li ul li {
position: relative;
display: block;
width: 150px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.shopList {
position: absolute;
display: none;
width: 100px;
margin: 0 0 0 -50px;
padding: 0;
}
nav a {
position: relative;
display: block;
width: auto;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #707070;
text-decoration: none;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Dropdown menu problems, DIV and or CSS issues

Alright, I've periodically looked and messed around with this for around 6 weeks and so far have been unable to figure out how to solve this thing. Though I assume it's something small and relatively simple to people with more experience.
Background:
I am starting with a template that had a good js slideshow that I liked and started customizing it. When i got to a certain point I realized I wanted to add a drop-down menu. When I first added the ul sub-menu for the drop-down nothing appeared to happen. After messing with it for some time i created a test page where I only added the drop-down menu to see if the js was effecting it in any way and it worked as expected. I then added only the js in to see if my 0 knowledge of js was effecting it and it worked (no alignment info).
At this point i went back to the original code and it stopped working. so I went online and got some example code to put in that I knew worked and that too didn't work. At one point I started messing with the div tags in the html and was able to get some resemblance of what I was looking for though the content started shifting down sometimes on rollover; other times it would drop the content 100% of the time. I moved to playing with z-index's and no matter what I did that didn't seem to make a difference either.
The question:
What the heck am I not seeing here? All I'm looking for is a drop-down that goes over top of the js slideshow without pushing it down. I'm pretty sure this issue revolves around the fact that there are so many div's to make this layout and they're conflicting somehow. Any help someone could give would be absolutely amazing because I'm going crazy.
Here is the index page with issues:

/* --------- End of Menu --------- */
EDIT1: I included the script and stylesheet.
EDIT2: Please look at the picture. It should clarify the issue.

The problem is in this line:
$active = $links.first().addClass('active');
It takes the first link in your menu and makes it active. Your first <a> tag in the ul with class menu is not the first menu item, but:
<a class="pressed" href="#menu1" style="height:40px;line-height:40px;"><span><img src="menu_files/css3menu1/db.png"/>MENU1</span></a>
So you need to make sure you target the first menu item. You can for example assign an id to it:
<li>SUBMENU11</li>
and then you have to rewrite that line of javascript to:
$active = $('#submenu-default').addClass('active');
That should do the trick. Obviously you can use any other way to locate that link.
EDIT: Maybe even better solution would be to rewrite your html as follows:
<ul id="css3menu1">
<li class="topfirst"><a class="pressed" href="#menu1" style="height:40px;line-height:40px;"><span><img src="menu_files/css3menu1/db.png"/>MENU1</span></a>
<ul class="menu">
<li>SUBMENU11</li>
<li>SUBMENU12</li>
<li>SUBMENU13</li>
<li>SUBMENU14</li>
</ul></li>
<li class="menu"><img src="menu_files/css3menu1/schedule.png"/>MENU2</li>
<li class="menu"><img src="menu_files/css3menu1/analysis.png"/>MENU3</li>
<li class="toplast"><img src="menu_files/css3menu1/gps.png"/>MENU4</li>
</ul>
This way you don't have to change the javascript, as the first link in the menu now indeed is the first item of the menu. I leave it for you to find out what works best for you.

I guess you want something like this: http://www.cssmenus.co.uk/dropdown.html
If you show an example or drawing we could help you even better.

Here's to hoping someone else sees this and can help. This snippet of code works in every browser except for IE. The menu doesn't fade in, it just appears and it looks ugly.

If you are trying to animate between two images, like a hover effect on your navigation, then I suggest using jQuery Blend plugin. It works in IE and is very well developed, I haven't found any bugs in it.
