I can't get a bootstrap vertical menu to collapse when using media queries.
There is too much code to put it all in here so I created a fiddle -
https://jsfiddle.net/DTcHh/
I don't mind re-writing the menu however it was the only way I could get this kind of menu. I am basing my technology off this website as this was the clients demand -

I am trying to create their home page menu but in bootstrap so it is responsive. any help is greatly appreciated.
<div class="navbar">
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="container-fluid"><div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-ex1-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="root">
</li><li class="dropdown-submenu"> <a tabindex="-1" href="#">Welcome</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a tabindex="-1" href="#">Headteacher</a>
</li>
<li><a tabindex="-1" href="#">School Motto</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div
The issue is, when scrolling below around 750px and below, the whole thing just disappears.
Where is the navigation button?
Add an id to: <div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="navbar">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Bootstrap 3</a>
</div>
<div id="navbar" class="navbar-collapse collapse">
...
</div>
Update fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/wZVanG/DTcHh/8623/
you have the following issues with your code:
You are duplicating something here by using a div and a nav both
with class navbar. I don't know why but that's weird.
Your collapsing div doesn't have id. the id will allow the button to target it for dropdown
The button that is supposed to hold the toggle for dropdown isn't in your code.
Since your collapsing div doesn't have an Id, your dropdown button wouldn't be pointing to anything
Your jsFiddle is different from the code posted here.... The following code is based on the one from your jsfiddle.
Working bootply
Your website takes a lot of time to load, to improve the user experience you might consider loading the js files after or creating a loading screen. The following code is for the navbar.
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class="navbar-header">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Bootstrap 3</a>

<span class="icon-bar"></span>

When I try to open the menu on mobile, it does not open and instead, you just select the whole menu bar. It looks like this on the actual website: menu after being clicked on (clicked on the actual button in the right corner).
Meanwhile, this is the relevant code from the navbar.php:
<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
<div class='container'>
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" id='navbar-toggle' class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse"
data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<div class="brand">
<img src="assets/img/logo.svg" alt="logo">
</div>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-left">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Services</li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li>Contact Us</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
Also, not sure if it makes a difference although the PHP file is named navbar.inc.php. And also, I'm not sure if it has to do anything with the jquery.js file.
I have added a dropdown to my website but it is not working properly on mobile devices when the nav bar is collapsed. When I click on dropdown it closes the navbar instead of showing the items under the dropdown.
<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container">
<!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
<div class="navbar-header page-scroll">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse"
data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#page-top">Name</a>
</div>
<!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li class="hidden">
</li>
<li class="page-scroll">
Portfolio
</li>
<li class="dropdown">
Games <span class="caret"></span>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Avoid The Spikes</li>
<li>Space Shooter</li>
<!--<li role="separator" class="divider"></li>-->
<!--<li class="dropdown-header">Nav header</li>-->
<!--<li>Separated link</li>-->
</ul>
</li>
I think it has something to do with the ID <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
I am using Bootstrap 3 and I want to create a sidebar, like the one that appear in mobile apps where they are hidden initially and appear from left to right on click.
The following html which uses bootstrap, creates a nav bar which on smaller devices changes into a collapsable icon. On clicking the icon the menu appears from top down. Does bootstrap provide feature to change the transition direction? Please help, I am new to css and bootstrap
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="navbar-header pull-left">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#myNavbar">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
</div>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Demo</a>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="myNavbar">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">Home</li>
<li class="dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">City <span class="caret"></span></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li></li>
<li>Pune</li>
<li>Hyderabad</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>menu item</li>
<li></li>
</ul>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<li><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></span> Sign Up</li>
<li><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-in"></span> Login</li>
</ul>
</div>

Bootstrap has built in functionality for sidebar menus.

Here is my markup for my nav using bootstrap....
I'm not sure why the div with class of 'mynavbar' is not toggling open and close (by adding the 'in' class to it) when the button with a data-target='.mynavbar' is clicked (this is only on smaller screens where the hamburger type menu shows instead of the links "work, about, contact)
ALso, on large and small screens, should the li's that are clicked on have the class of "active" added to them? I'm not seeing this happen either
<nav class='navbar navbar-fixed-top drop-shadow'>
<div class='container-fluid'>
<div class='navbar-header page-scroll'>
<button type='button' class='navbar-toggle' data-toggle='collapse' data-target='.mynavbar'>
<span class='icon-bar'></span>
<span class='icon-bar'></span>
<span class='icon-bar'></span>
</button>
<a class='navbar-brand page-scroll' href='#'><i class='glyphicon glyphicon-home'></i></a>
</div>
<div class='collapse navbar-collapse mynavbar'>
<ul class='nav navbar-nav'>
<li><a class='page-scroll' href='#work'>Work</a></li>
<li><a class='page-scroll' href='#about'>About</a></li>
<li><a class='page-scroll' href='#contact'>Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
You need to target to ID in <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#mynavbar">, instead of class. Then change the element that has collapse navbar-collapse class to <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="mynavbar">
Overall, this code should work for you
<nav class="navbar navbar-fixed-top navbar-inverse drop-shadow" role="navigation">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="navbar-header page-scroll">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#mynavbar">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand page-scroll" href="#">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-home"></i>
</a>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="mynavbar">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active"><a class="page-scroll" href="#work">Work</a></li>
<li><a class="page-scroll" href="#about">About</a></li>
<li><a class="page-scroll" href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
And, you can add class="active" to your <li> when clicked, this is often handled in the server-side or in your own URL router
I am using Bootstrap for the first time and my navbar is not collapsing. So in response to this question on SO, I checked the order of jquery and Bootstrap js files and its OK.
When I checked the Network tab to check if all resources are loading correctly, I am getting jquery.min.map error that it can't be loaded.
Is my problem related due to this missing file and why Bootstrap is asking for this file?
Here is the image :
And when I further decrease the screen width, the links and search disappear and the expand button also does not appear.
Here is my code for navbar for the reference
<div class="container" id="main">
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">

You left out part of your nav html under navbar-header:
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
