Multilevel Vertical Tab jquery

I have been trying to build a multi-level vertical tabs with hidden content which gets visible by some jquery. It is working fine but with it has one problem.
Because of this code:
$(this).nextUntil("li.tabsclose").slideToggle();
When page loads for the first time, all the parent categories are shown but if you click on a category with some sub-categories, jquery hides everything until the next item with "tabsclose" class. Which is a problem because I have some Parent categories towards the end of the list.
Here is the jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/ebf6cdpe/
Thank you very much for your help in advance!
SOLUTION:
After spending some considerable time on searching web, I have used if/else statement to be able to close parent tabs on re-click.

This particular piece is causing all the Parent categories without subcategories to be hidden:
$('.subtabs').not(this).nextUntil(".subtabs").slideUp();
If you remove that, all the Parents without subcategories won't disappear permanently. However, there is still an issue with them temporarily disappearing when opening the subcategory.
You need to have a class that is applied to all your parents that you can use as a selector in this loop:
$(this).nextUntil("li.tabsclose").slideToggle();
I'm still not 100% sure this is the exact functionality you want, but here is an updated version:

Whatever the case, you may be better off using nested lists for your subcategories. https://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML_lists

Using anchors in Wordpress menu creates selection box around content

Working with WordPress, I have created a one page site that uses anchors in a custom menu to jump to specific parts of the page.
It jumps to the section of the page that I have specified, as intended. However, it is creating a very visible, blue selection box around the content that it is jumping to. I have not included code in the CSS file or any project files that should be adding a selection box. So my assumption is that it is being caused by Wordpress?
Is there a way to disable a selection box around the content that is being jumped to?

What is happening is you are getting the outline property add around your selection this happens on chrome alot when you click buttons or focus on something. Try adding a class similar to this
SELECTION:focus {outline:0;}
to the object that is being highlighted or anchortag without seeing the code and what it is doing its hard to pinpoint the exact class

CSS Drop down menu on mobile. how to get around :hover

I've had a search and I couldn't find anything & also it's my first time using the site so hope it hasn't been asked.
I've run into a situation. I'm by no means an experienced website maker. I'm learning as I go. I have a CSS drop down menu that works fine on desktop browsers. When I get into the realm of mobile I encounter a problem, namely that :hoverdoesn't work (obviously).
I found this : http://osvaldas.info/drop-down-navigation-responsive-and-touch-friendly but I can't get the ruddy thing to work.
The page in question I'm applying it to is here : http://www.inkslinger.co.uk/calibre/index.html I really can't work this out and its driving me absolutely batty. Any help would be really appreciated.

I had the same problem and found an easy workaround which I have used here
hover example
The Post Natal and Ante Natal options, when hovered over, trigger the drop down, but you may notice that they are NOT links themselves. In my original model they were links, but when I realised this would not work on touch devices, I simply made them into triggers for the drop down boxes, and put the links inside the boxes too. So for you, your 'What we do' link, would not be a link, just a trigger for the dropdown menu, and then in the menu you can have your link to the 'what we do' info.
It is also worth remembering that certain touch devices, such as some iPads, do not like hover states at all, if you find that the hover state won't trigger your dropdown menu, then add 'onclick="return true"' to the list item in question. This will usually make the hover state work like a click.
Hope this helps, what I've written represents about 3 days of poring over my library of reference books.

We had this problem and changed the hover to clicks.

Instead of using hover, which is of course impossible on touch devices, using :active would likely be a good start. Selection something is still possible on touch devices, bind the menu to the active state of a toggle and you're done.

You will have to switch from hover to click event for this case. There's no workaround for that.
You should definitely consider changing your design to have a hamburger styled menu which opens from left for touch devices.
See this demo from the link that you posted. It changes to a different menu style when you open it in mobile device.
http://osvaldas.info/examples/drop-down-navigation-touch-friendly-and-responsive/
Also if you want to have your top link as a direct link to other page; you can have two separate clicks on the top button for that. First click will open the menu and after the menu is opened you can assign the direct link to it as done in the above demo.

Put this line of code inside your head tag like this:
<head>
<script>document.addEventListener("touchstart", function(){}, true);</script>
</head>
Create for your hover element an active class like this:
element:hover, element:active { Your CSS }
Voila.

Shadowbox.js hides my select inputs

I'm sure I can't be the first person to have this problem, but I haven't had any luck finding the solution.
I'm using Shadowbox in its simplest form; just doing an image popup with a link like
Click here to view the image.
This works fine, but has one very odd side effect: When I click the link, all of the select inputs (i.e. drop-down boxes) of the form on my page disappear. A little snooping with Firebug reveals that the CSS is being modified to give the <select> tags the property visibility: hidden. When the image is dismissed, the inputs reappear.
Not surprisingly, this happens consistently across browsers.
Since the inputs all reappear, I could probably just leave things as they are. However, if (for example) the image can't be loaded, and the script can't display it, the inputs stay invisible. Also, it looks strange and it's driving me batty. :D
Other factors that may or may not be relevant:
I have done very little with Shadowbox in the past and could very well be missing something embarrassingly obvious.
My page and its form are generated by CakePHP.
The page uses jQuery, and Shadowbox is using the jQuery adapter.
The vanishing inputs do not have class attributes. They do have id attributes that are generated by CakePHP, but these names are very specific to my application and very unlikely to cause any CSS collisions.
As far as I can tell, all of the select inputs vanish, and no other element, input or otherwise, on the page is affected at all. (Even the labels associated with the inputs are unaffected.)
Versions: Shadowbox 3.0.3, jQuery 1.4.2, CakePHP 1.3

This is a semi-bug in shadowbox, most likely. The select tags are being hidden because in some versions of IE, they are rendered using windows native controls, and thus always appear "above" any other element with a z-index. This obviously is a problem for ShadowBox, so the solution is to hide them while showing the box. Shadowbox should clearly do this only for troublesome browsers, but I think they're taking a more generic approach of always hiding them.

Safari Javascript Issue

I am currently working on a Javascript program for my company (Leader Technologies) that is used to register products for Logitech. The URL for that is :
http://wwwtest.onlineregister.com/logitechreg/
My program looks totally fine on everything single web browser (including IE 6) that I have tried except Safari 4. On Safari 4, after a location, language and product category have been selected, when the actual product menu is clicked (id=WHPR), the div responsible for displaying the product is shown, but the drop-down selections are still visible. On all other browsers, the drop-down and the possible selections inside it in hidden (which is the intended behavior.)
Directly, my question is can I hid this drop-down successfully in Safari 4 WITHOUT completely emptying out the drop down and then repopulating it with only the selected value? I would rather not do this if at all possible, but if it's the only way to accomplish my goal then I can change the site additionally.
I believe the problem is where I set the listeners on the <select>:
<select id="WHPR" class="ui-formulate-ignore" style="width: 280px; visibility: visible;" onchange="whprChanged(this);" onfocus="displaySelector(form, document.getElementById('WHPR')); document.getElementById('imageHolder').focus(); this.blur();" name="WHPR">
Thank you all very much for taking the time to help me. I really appreciate all the help available on this site.

Not to pick on your style, but attaching listeners inline like you're doing is not very clean. Why not take advantage of jQuery's ability to deal with any browser discrepancies? The page you refer to is already loading it.
See http://docs.jquery.com/Events/bind

I think it's some kind of a bug in Safari - for example if you do .focus() nof for the DIV but for another input element like a textfield, then after clicking the selectbox both would have the focus (or actually, the focus would stay in the selectbox and the textbox would only seem to have the focus by having thicker border than usual).
Anyhow quick and dirty methot to achieve the goal would be removing the selectbox from the page (display: none) and then bringing it back (display:inline).
replace the this.blur() with the following command
this.style.cssText='display:none';var select = this; window.setTimeout(function(){select.style.cssText='display:inline';},1);
If you don't use a delay then it doesn't work - the removal and retrieval of the element need to be in different scopes.
