We Keep Coding

Is it possible to create a drop down with multiple columns (like mega menu) using html css and jquery without using any plugins?

I have to create a drop down with two columns just like the image It should be like when i click on the drop down menu it should display like this so far i am not successful!. This is the sample code i am working with.. if i execute this code it is no where what i am expecting and also i am new to coding.
$(document).ready(function() {
// NAV TOGGLE ONCLICK WITH SLIDE
$(".clickSlide ul").hide();
$(".clickSlide").click(function() {
$(this).children("ul").stop(true, true).slideToggle("fast"),
$(this).toggleClass("dropdown-active");
});
// NAV TOGGLE ONCLICK WITH FADE
$(".clickFade ul").hide();
$(".clickFade").click(function() {
$(this).children("ul").stop(true, true).fadeToggle("fast"),
$(this).toggleClass("dropdown-active");
});
// NAV TOGGLE ONHOVER WITH SLIDE
$(".hoverSlide ul").hide();
$(".hoverSlide").hover(function() {
$(this).children("ul").stop(true, true).slideToggle("fast"),
$(this).toggleClass("dropdown-active");
});
// NAV TOGGLE ONHOVER WITH FADE
$(".hoverFade ul").hide();
$(".hoverFade").hover(function() {
$(this).children("ul").stop(true, true).fadeToggle("fast"),
$(this).toggleClass("dropdown-active");
});
});

if i understood properly,
This jsfiddle maybe helpful
looks like u use two div but have same class name, then with your css only set "column" .
so the two div will display in same position, that's why u have two div but only display one.
<div class="navbar">
<ul id=dropdown1>
<li class="topnav">
<div class="column">
Services <span>▼</span>
<ul>
<li>Web hosting</li>
<li>Web builder</li>
<li>Themes</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="column2">
<ul>
<li>Web hosting</li>
<li>Web builder</li>
<li>Themes</li>
</ul>
</div>
</ul>
then you should set column2's css
UPDATE:
this fiddle
look this fiddle above
i change the li and set
.column a:after{
content:"\a";
white-space: pre;
}
\a means line break, character U+000A, and white-space: pre tells browsers to treat it as a line break in rendering.
found answer here Line break (like <br>) using only css

I have developed drop-down as per your image, without using any plugin.
I am using:
HTML
CSS
Explaination:
I am using table tag to design multiple columns.
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>// for left-col links
<td></td>// for right-col links
</tr>
</table>
Then inside <td> tag I am using <ul><li></li></ul>tag. Inside <li> you can have multiple links.
Similarly I did for right-side column.

Drop down menu only by click on button

I am trying to make a drop down menu, but I want to show and hide drop down just by click on the button. Currently drop down is hiding even when I click on one of the children. How to fix it?
Fiddle:
<ul id="nav">
<li class="parent"><button>Childrens</button>
<ul class="sub-nav">
<li>Johnny</li>
<li>Julie</li>
<li>Jamie</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Try it:
http://jsfiddle.net/zyfv6nd0/
$(document).ready(function() {
$('button').click(function() {
$('.sub-nav').toggleClass('visible');
});
});

Change your selector from $('.parent') to $('.parent button'):
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.parent button').click(function() {
$(this).next('.sub-nav').toggleClass('visible');
});
});
#nav {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#nav > li {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
position: relative;
}
#nav ul.sub-nav {
position: absolute;
min-width: 200px;
display: none;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
}
#nav ul.visible {
display: block;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Show drop down menu under link

I try to show a dropdown menu after the user hovers over the link with id galerie. I solved it like this:
$("#gallerie").mouseover
(
function()
{
$("#gallerie_drop").css("display","block");
}
);
$("#gallerie_drop").mouseleave
(
function()
{
$("#gallerie_drop").css("display","none");
}
);
#header {
text-align: right;
padding:20px;
}
#header a {
padding: 20px;
}
#gallerie_drop {
display:none;
}
/* Dropdown Content (Hidden by Default) */
.dropdown-content {
display: block;
position: absolute;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
min-width: 160px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}
/* Links inside the dropdown */
.dropdown-content a {
color: black;
padding: 12px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
}
/* Change color of dropdown links on hover */
.dropdown-content a:hover {background-color: #f1f1f1}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="header">
Galerie
Videos
Photos
Foo
Bar
</div>
<div class="dropdown-content" id="gallerie_drop">
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
</div>
But how can i let the box appear directly under the link?
JSFIDDLE: https://jsfiddle.net/c544es76/2/

If you are creating Menu, please use UL, LI.
Here is demo, with hoverable item. All without JS:
http://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_css_dropdown_navbar

Need changes.
You HTML Should be like this,
<div class="yourclass">
Galerie
<div class="dropdown-content" id="gallerie_drop">
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
</div>
</div>
And CSS,
.yourclass{
position: relative;
}
#gallerie_drop{
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
}
And the script is correct to show/hide the element.

Add position:relative to .gallery_drop
#gallerie_drop {
display:none;
position:relative;
}
and change your mouseover callback to
$("#galerie").mouseover
(
function()
{
$(this).append($('#gallery_drop'));
$("#gallerie_drop").css("display","block");
}
);
This will append the div to your hover link. You have size it appropriately.

HTML or CSS navigation bar issue

Basically, I have created a navigation bar that has an underline when hovered and also when it is active. I also have a line spanning the page. When the cursor is hovered over the list, the 4px line appears under the word but it also pushed the line spanning the page down by 4 pixels. Can someone help please.
Here's the HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>Home</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="new1.css">
</head>
<body>
<nav id="ddmenu">
<div class="menu-icon"></div>
<ul>
<li class='top-heading'><a href='#'><span>New in</span></a>
</li>
<li class='top-heading'><a href='#'><span>Homeware</span></a>
</li>
<li class='top-heading'><a href='#'><span>Decorating</span></a>
</li>
<li class='top-heading'><a href='#'><span>DIY</span></a>
</li>
<li class='top-heading'><a href='#'><span>Furniture</span></a>
</li>
<li class='top-heading'><a href='#'><span>Bathroom</span></a>
</li>
<li class='top-heading'><a href='#'><span>Garden</span></a>
</li>
<li class='top-heading'><a href='#'><span>Offers</span></a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</body>
</html>
Here's the CSS
#ddmenu {
zoom: 1;
width: 100%;
background: #FFF;
padding: 0px 0;
}
#ddmenu:before {
content: '';
display: block;
}
#ddmenu:after {
content: '';
display: block;
clear: both;
}
#ddmenu ul {
list-style-type: none;
position: relative;
display: block;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0px;
padding-top: 4px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #EAEBEB;
border-top: 1px solid #EAEBEB;
zoom: 1;
}
#ddmenu ul:before {
content: '';
display: block;
}
#ddmenu ul:after {
content: '';
display: block;
clear: both;
}
#ddmenu li {
display: block;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#ddmenu li a {
float: left;
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
height: 20px;
padding: 1px 50px 0;
font-weight: normal;
}
#ddmenu li:hover, #ddmenu .active {
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: 4px solid #EAEBEB;
colour: #000
}
#ddmenu .active a {
font-weight: 700;
}

When you add a border you're increasing the height of the element so naturally it affects items below it.
Without a set height the optimal solution is to have the border already there but transparent and just change the color on hover.
#ddmenu li {
display: block;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border-bottom:4px solid transparent;
}
JSfiddle Demo
Note: Just a suggestion but you have a lot of padding on the links there. As you can see it in the doesn't look quite so nice at smaller viewports...you might want to look into that.

$("#wrapper").css("top", headerHeight);
}); // End document ready function
When the page loads I have a top header bar which contains dummy links. When the browser width is shrunk below the breakpoint at 900px the responsive menu kicks in, at this point upon clicking on the "3 bars icon" the dropdown menu appears as expected.
However, if I were to resize the screen back to full size without first closing the drop down menu, it continues to stay even after the browser is fully expanded.
How can I make the drop-down menu to automatically "untoggle" at the point of growing wider than the breakpoint of 900px?
Thanks
EDIT: Screenshots:
Here's how I'd like it to behave:
callmenick.com/lab-demos/10-simple-responsive-navigation
When the mobile navigation is fully expanded, it automatically slides up once the browser window is expanded

Since you're using Javascript to toggle the display when you click that menu bar icon, it pretty much nullifies the 'display' css for .mobile-menu to some extent (since it is changing the style after the css has already loaded). So you'll need to toggle the UL display value (child), and not the .mobile-menu (parent). That way the responsive .mobile-menu css stays in tact... I believe this is what that example site you mentioned does.
<nav class="mobile-menu">
<ul class="mobile-menu-items">
<li>Home</li>
<li>Work</li>
<li>Contact Me</li>
</ul>
</nav>
keep css for .mobile-menu as display: none on large screens, and display:block for smaller. Then for new class ".mobile-menu-items" you can initially set that to display: none, and toggle that with your jQuery:
$('.nav-trigger').click(function(){
$('.mobile-menu-items').slideToggle();
});
Alternatively you could toggle the visibility instead of the display.
$('.nav-trigger').click(function(){
if ( $('.mobile-menu').css('visibility') == 'hidden' )
$('.mobile-menu').css('visibility','visible');
else
$('.mobile-menu').css('visibility','hidden');
});

If you want to actually retract the mobile menu (and not just hide it in CSS) when the window gets too wide, try this :
var $window = $(window), // caching the objects for performance
$mobileMenu = $(".mobile-menu");
$window.resize(function(){
if( $window.width() > 900) $mobileMenu.slideUp();
})

updated.extremely crude example. resize
