How to make a dropdown menu transition with CSS?

I have created a responsive navigation-bar/menu but I want it to appear with a sliding animation from the top to the bottom when the needed button is presed. The menu does appear on itself but it completely ignores the transitioni have set it to execute. I tried multiple methods - using webkit library, using the change in height method, etc. It appears that none of them work with my code. If anyone can help, please reach to me.

A easy way to do it is with CSS, for this cases i always use Animista. Try adding this to your CSS file and then add the class slide-in-top to your menu container.
.slide-in-top {
-webkit-animation: slide-in-top 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.250, 0.460, 0.450, 0.940) both;
animation: slide-in-top 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.250, 0.460, 0.450, 0.940) both;
}
#-webkit-keyframes slide-in-top {
0% {
-webkit-transform: translateY(-1000px);
transform: translateY(-1000px);
opacity: 0;
}
100% {
-webkit-transform: translateY(0);
transform: translateY(0);
opacity: 1;
}
}
#keyframes slide-in-top {
0% {
-webkit-transform: translateY(-1000px);
transform: translateY(-1000px);
opacity: 0;
}
100% {
-webkit-transform: translateY(0);
transform: translateY(0);
opacity: 1;
}
}

Having an issue with a JS Hamburger Menu

Added a Hamburger Menu to our site. There are no console log errors and the menu refuses to expand.
The page in question - https://www.harpercollege.edu/foundation/alumni-dev/index.php
The Code Pen I'm working from - https://codepen.io/anon/pen/vQNmgx
Everything works fine in codepen and visually it looks fine in the live site. I just can click or expand. The goal is to be able to expand the menu and push over the rest of the page.

You've put the script which adds the click handler in your document's head. At the point that the script is loaded, $('.hamburger') doesn't exist in the DOM, so the click handler is not added, therefore the clicks have no effect.
To fix, consider moving the script to the bottom of the page, or wrapping it in $(document).ready().

Executing and formatting jQuery hamburger menu

I am having trouble figuring out how to make the hamburger menu I just spent a day on actually do something other than look cute. I have been trying to put together a couple different blocks of code I've gathered to create what I am envisioning but as I'm a bit of a newb to jQuery it's not working. I assume I'm likely missing something simple, but maybe not. Anyway... your help is greatly appreciated! (comments describing what I'm trying to do in the code.
Also- I added what's in my external jQuery and css file here inline but my actual file has links to both instead.

Remove the fixed position from your animated hamburger, add it to the header and float it to the right, hide the menu first and then toggle it
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.menu-title,#nav-icon4').click(function() {
$('#nav-icon4').toggleClass('open');
$(".menu").slideToggle("slow");
});

So i deleted the jQuery for the grey icon it is not working anyway.
Also you dont need to wrap the jQuery for the red hamburger menu with document ready.

How to apply the same JQuery to two navs and add a different class for each nav

I implemented this Vertical Fixed Navigation from Codyhouse into my site and everything works fine. The problem is with the fixed main-nav I have on top of the page (i.e. two navs in total, one on top and one vertical).
I would like to make both navigations behave the same, i.e. smooth scrolling and toggling class depending on scroll position, with a specific addClass for each nav.
I tried to select the links elements from both navs this way:
var navigationItems = $('#cd-vertical-nav a', '#main-nav a')
but it didn't work. As a matter of fact, in the snippet below the JQuery isn't working too. Dunno why :) But in my site the vertical nav works fine.
I am still a noob coder and new at StackOverflow. I would really appreciate any help!
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
var contentSections = $('.cd-section'),
navigationItems = $('#cd-vertical-nav a');
updateNavigation();
$(window).on('scroll', function() {
updateNavigation();
});
//smooth scroll to the section
navigationItems.on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
smoothScroll($(this.hash));
});
//smooth scroll to second section
$('.arrow-down').on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
smoothScroll($(this.hash));
});
//open-close navigation on touch devices
$('.touch .cd-nav-trigger').on('click', function() {
$('.touch #cd-vertical-nav').toggleClass('open');
});
//close navigation on touch devices when selectin an elemnt from the list
$('.touch #cd-vertical-nav a').on('click', function() {
$('.touch #cd-vertical-nav').removeClass('open');
});
function updateNavigation() {
contentSections.each(function() {
$this = $(this);
var activeSection = $('#cd-vertical-nav a[href="#' + $this.attr('id') + '"]').data('number') - 1;
if (($this.offset().top - $(window).height() / 2 < $(window).scrollTop()) && ($this.offset().top + $this.height() - $(window).height() / 2 > $(window).scrollTop())) {
navigationItems.eq(activeSection).addClass('is-selected');
} else {
navigationItems.eq(activeSection).removeClass('is-selected');
}
});
}

$('body,html').animate({
'scrollTop': target.offset().top - 120

To select multiple elements, you put them in a single selector string, separated by commas, not separate arguments to the jQuery() function.
var navigationItems = $('#cd-vertical-nav a, #main-nav a');
When you call jQuery with multiple arguments, the first argument is a selector, and the second argument is the context to search within, i.e.
$('#cd-vertical-nav a', '#main-nav a')
is equivalent to
$('#main-nav a').find('#cd-vertical-nav a')
Another way you can do this in a more general way is to use a class.
<nav class="menu clearfix fixed-nav" id="main-nav">
<nav class="fixed-nav" id="cd-vertical-nav">
Then you can use $('.fixed-nav a').

You need to use the mutliplse selector syntax
navigationItems = $('#cd-vertical-nav a, #main-nav a')
If you pass the second selector as a separate argument, then it will be considered as a context parameter
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
var contentSections = $('.cd-section'),
navigationItems = $('#cd-vertical-nav a, #main-nav a');
updateNavigation();
$(window).on('scroll', function() {
updateNavigation();
});
//smooth scroll to the section
navigationItems.on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
smoothScroll($(this.hash));
});
//smooth scroll to second section
$('.arrow-down').on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
smoothScroll($(this.hash));
});
//open-close navigation on touch devices
$('.touch .cd-nav-trigger').on('click', function() {
$('.touch #cd-vertical-nav').toggleClass('open');
});
//close navigation on touch devices when selectin an elemnt from the list
$('.touch #cd-vertical-nav a').on('click', function() {
$('.touch #cd-vertical-nav').removeClass('open');
});
function updateNavigation() {
contentSections.each(function() {
$this = $(this);
var activeSection = $('#cd-vertical-nav a[href="#' + $this.attr('id') + '"]').data('number') - 1;
if (($this.offset().top - $(window).height() / 2 < $(window).scrollTop()) && ($this.offset().top + $this.height() - $(window).height() / 2 > $(window).scrollTop())) {

Try this one
var navigationItems = $('#cd-vertical-nav>a', '#main-nav>a');

I tried to change the jQuery (see the updated snippet) in order to add a class to the active link of each nav, based on scroll position.
There must be a problem here (also somewhere else?):
updateMainNavigation()
updateVerticalNavigation()
Here they are comma separated but I also tried to write two complete different functions, even if the behaviour is the same. I can't figure out what I should do to make it work.
I am the same noob as yesterday and any help ist most welcome!
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
var contentSections = $('.cd-section'),
navigationItems = $('.fixed-nav a');
updateMainNavigation(), updateVerticalNavigation();
$(window).on('scroll', function() {
updateMainNavigation(), updateVerticalNavigation();
});
//smooth scroll to the section
navigationItems.on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
smoothScroll($(this.hash));
});
//smooth scroll to second section
$('.arrow-down').on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
smoothScroll($(this.hash));
});
function updateMainNavigation() {
contentSections.each(function() {
$this = $(this);
var activeSection = $('#main-nav a[href="#' + $this.attr('id') + '"]').data('number') - 1;
if (($this.offset().top - $(window).height() / 2 < $(window).scrollTop()) && ($this.offset().top + $this.height() - $(window).height() / 2 > $(window).scrollTop())) {
navigationItems.eq(activeSection).addClass('menu__item--current');
} else {
navigationItems.eq(activeSection).removeClass('menu__item--current');
}
});
}
function updateVerticalNavigation() {
contentSections.each(function() {
$this = $(this);
var activeSection = $('#cd-vertical-nav a[href="#' + $this.attr('id') + '"]').data('number') - 1;
if (($this.offset().top - $(window).height() / 2 < $(window).scrollTop()) && ($this.offset().top + $this.height() - $(window).height() / 2 > $(window).scrollTop())) {
navigationItems.eq(activeSection).addClass('is-selected');
} else {
navigationItems.eq(activeSection).removeClass('is-selected');
}
});
}
function smoothScroll(target) {
$('body,html').animate({
'scrollTop': target.offset().top - 120
},
1500, 'easeOutExpo'
);
}

Creating a moving bar (inside the nav bar) which moves to the element the user hovers on?

I'm trying to create a nav bar which consists of the regular navigation elements and an indication bar which is located below the current page. My goal is to make this bar move under whichever element the user hovers on and automatically resize itself according to a pre-defined size (according to the word length maybe?). I built the nav bar itself, but I'm kind of clueless how to achieve this effect. Should I always calculate the current position of the mouse and add the difference between the current location and the hover location? Regarding to the resizability, this is a secondary goal, less significant.
This is what I've done so far:
Html:
<header class="header">
<div class="logo">
<nav id="nav_bar">
<ul id="nav_ul">
<li>apples</li>
<li>bananas</li>
<li>tomatos</li>
<li>onions</li>
</ul>
<div id="container">
<div id="bar"></div>
</div>
</nav>
</div>
</header>
CSS:
#nav_ul a{
color: #685e6d;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
-webkit-transition: color 0.4s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: color 0.4s ease-in-out;
-ms-transition: color 0.4s ease-in-out;
-o-transition: color 0.4s ease-in-out;
transition: color 0.4s ease-in-out;
}
#nav_ul{
display: inline-block;
list-style-type: none;
}
#nav_ul li{
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
left: 90px;
bottom: 30px;
font-size: 19px;
margin-left: 40px;
font-weight: 100;
font-size: 16px;
}
#nav_ul a:hover{
color: #4ad1fd;
}
#container{
position: relative;
left: 167px;
height: auto;
width: 530px;
top: 5px;
}
#bar{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
height: 7px;
width: 107px;
background-color: #ffcc00;
border-radius: 3px;
}

Here's a jQuery solution: (JSFiddle for if the code snippet doesn't work)
function BarMove(el) {
var bar = $('#bar');
var width = el.outerWidth();
var left = el.offset().left;
bar.animate({
width: width,
left: left
});
}
var Current = $('#nav_ul li a.current'); // Set the current page
BarMove(Current);
$('#nav_ul li a').hover(function () {
BarMove($(this));
}, function () {
BarMove(Current);
});
#nav_ul a {
color: #685e6d;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
-webkit-transition: color 0.4s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: color 0.4s ease-in-out;
-ms-transition: color 0.4s ease-in-out;
-o-transition: color 0.4s ease-in-out;
transition: color 0.4s ease-in-out;
}
#nav_ul {
display: inline-block;
list-style-type: none;
}
#nav_ul li {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
left: 90px;
bottom: 30px;
font-size: 19px;
margin-left: 40px;
font-weight: 100;
font-size: 16px;
}
#nav_ul a:hover {
color: #4ad1fd;
}
#container {
position: relative;
left: 0;
height: auto;
width: 530px;
top: 5px;
}
#bar {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;

It's not exact, so you'll need to tweak the numbers but functionality is what you're after as far as I'm aware.

In your CSS, you have #nav_ul a:hover so you could add border-bottom-style: solid; border-color:<color> and you would have a bar appear under your items. It wouldn't slide, or be animated. It will, however, put a colored bar under what ever they are hovering over.
