That's brilliant, Imran. I love that you're including code more and more in your tutorials.

[@pattipeilohyg]

I agree! Imran is brilliant i love it!

[@jeroenvandenbogaerde9980]

Hi Everyone, I saw some people here having problems with the Menu not being visible when scrolling down the screen. In the first block of code you should change Position to Fixed. Add another line Width:100% this code solved the same problem i was facing. Imran, i still want to thank you for this amazing video! it really helpen me out a lot. I love your tutorials! Keep up the good work :)

[@zerobambiro]

Waited for this one! I was wondering why noone is making videos about a mega menu version for mobile. I think many people will need this.

[@aequitas7483]

I liked it so much, i made some additional fade transitions. For everyone who like to copy and try out, here is what i changed: The CSS part: [id^='Menu'] { /* ... */ visibility: hidden; /* Changed from display: none; to visibility: hidden; */ /* ... */ transition: opacity 0.5s, visibility 0.5s; /* Added this line for transitions */ } The Java part: function toggleVisibility(elementId, show) { var element = document.getElementById(elementId); if (element) { element.style.visibility = show ? 'visible' : 'hidden'; // Changed from display to visibility element.style.opacity = show ? '1' : '0'; } } function closeAllMenus() { document.querySelectorAll("[id^='Menu']").forEach(function(menu) { menu.style.visibility = 'hidden'; // Changed from display to visibility menu.style.opacity = '0'; }); }

[@andy1luckman]

Heads up ... if you have a sticky top header ... you'll need to make the menu containers sticky too otherwise when you scroll down the page the containers are all the way at the top.

[@iAmARIFFiskandar]

I found that the menu containers must also be offset accordingly

hi Imran, First of all thanks a lot for all the work and the code. The only issue what i am facing is that if u open the menu and u scroll down u can see the normal website. is there a way not have a maximal scroll when u open the menu? thanks a lot

[@websquadron]

Not that I know of. If you set to be Full Width and Full Height then you shouldn't see the screen below.

[@tchazanov]

This looks great and I'm going to try and implement it in my site, which currently uses pop ups. One question, I saw that you used H2 for your headers. Is this the HTML tag that you recommend to use for each menu item or should I use H3 for the sub menu?

[@websquadron]

I would use H3. The vid was more about the process and pieces :)

[@martinbarron6545]

Sweet!

[@websquadron]

Thanks!

[@xavibarrera7953]

Thank you for your excellent explanation; that is what I was looking for!!! However, you have left off something helpful for me: once your template is finished, how do you put it online? Obviously, it is necessary to substitute the standard WordPress menu for this one. I understand it may be something easy, but I need a little help to do this.

[@websquadron]

It's in your Header Template so it will be visible.

[@xavibarrera7953]

@@websquadron Thanks!!!

[@user-br1qt8if2n]

Hello. Question: with so many containers on the page, how much does the site speed decrease? As far as I understand, in addition to speed, it also affects the DOM.

[@websquadron]

I tested and it was fine even on a page with many containers (for the normal home page content). The containers are set to Display None :)

[@lynxrogue6684]

Worked so well!!! But I am little struggeling. How can I get the opened menu to stick on the screen? When scrolling down, it stays at the top and you can see the content below

[@websquadron]

Have you set it to VH 100?

[@samwillun]

Thanks so much master Imran, but i have a question, if we do that, Does it add too much loading and code redundancy?

[@websquadron]

Nope. It's in the header and the containers are set to Display: None, thus not taking up space until they become Display: Flex. If they were just opacity 0, then they'd still be present (even when invisible) but Display: none removes them :)

[@samwillun]

Thanks so much@@websquadron

[@theunifiedfield.]

That made my brain hurt, but I got there in the end... and it works really well. Thanks, Imran.

[@websquadron]

Yup, lots to take in, but it makes sense :)

[@dansk9963]

Hi Imran, Would it be possible to add this to a page instead of creating it as a template?

[@websquadron]

Yup :)

[@EliysseBailey]

Has anyone tried to expand the code to have sub levels containers that close them to the level before? As Imran is explaining that the Ikea Menu works. I want the sub levels to close one by one instead to go back to the main menu, but I can't make that work unfortunately

[@websquadron]

If you use an Accordion you could show sub levels one at a time.

[@samueljohn295]

Nice work out there. Is this same mobile menu visible on desktop? This is cool

[@websquadron]

You could modify to make it look fine on the mobile

[@samueljohn295]

[@TobiasSeyfarth]

At 7:50 I don’t understand how it can be, that under »Menu_ipad« the direction is in a row but under »Justify Content« the content is vertical (shown in the icons).

[@websquadron]

It's a weird way of how the icons display and do something different.

[@SteinisGrafikdesign]

Hi Imran, I really like your Work. This is so brilliant. In my particular case i wanted to open the menu from the bottom of the screen. So i fixed my Main Menu „ID - Link_open“ Vertcial bottom. But then every time i am in the middle of the page (so i scrolled) and then want to open the menu, it s not there. So the first opend layer sticks to the top. Do you have a solution for that?

[@SteinisGrafikdesign]

Ok i found a solution :D. When i check the position fixed directly in elementor on each container it does not effect properly but when i set custom css on each container for example „ID - Menu_main“ -> Custom CSS „selector { position: fixed; }“ Than it works fine. Thanks to @EricJGerber i got even rid of the scroll bars. So now its almost perfect for me :)

[@iAmARIFFiskandar]

@@SteinisGrafikdesign thanks for sharing your workaround!

[@aequitas7483]

mhhm i encounter one misterious failure... for the chevron and close_all_sub , it does not go back to main menu *scratching my head*

[@aequitas7483]

Failure 40 as we say in Denmark... one needs to make sure that there is no more submenus in the code than available on the website, the script for closing subs does not work xD

[@websquadron]

Yup

[@Alex-nn4qz]

What I noticed is the close_all_sub does not work unless you have more than ONE menu to open so for example you have iPad, iPhone, Mac - it works but if you've only built iPad and testing it does not work - I spent 30mins playing around with it - kept on building and realised that was the fix!

Guys can you help me maybe? Do i need another container for the two icons in the "ipad menu"? For me the two icons and the text is now in one row. Don't know how to wrap it right at the second icon.

[@EricJGerber]

Imran, This was great! this took me a min to implement but everything is on point. I wanted to share this update to the code. I was a bit annoyed when the menu containers would open I still had the ability to scroll down the page. I tried to use overflow hidden option in elementor for each menu container but it did not work. Disclaimer I am not a code writer or claim to be, but using chat gpt I have updated your code so that when any menu is open, the ability to scroll is disabled. It works for me. If anyone is wants this option, copy and paste below code. You will still have to use the naming conventions that Imran refers to in the video to make it your own. The only changes that i could see are /*Hide scrollbar*/ code in the style, and line 26 of the original code adding : document.body.classList.toggle('menu-open', show); // Add 'menu-open' class to body. /* Apply styles to any element whose ID starts with 'Menu' */ [id^='Menu'] { opacity: 0; /* Start invisible */ display: none; /* Ensure it doesn't take up space when not visible */ position: absolute; /* Use absolute positioning */ top: 0; /* Adjust top as necessary */ left: 0; /* Adjust left as necessary */ z-index: 9999; /* Ensure it's above other content */ } /* Apply pointer cursor to any element whose ID starts with 'Icon' or 'Link' */ [id^='Icon'], [id^='Link'] { cursor: pointer; } /* Hide scrollbar */ body.menu-open { overflow: hidden; } document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() { // Function to toggle visibility for a specific element by ID function toggleVisibility(elementId, show) { var element = document.getElementById(elementId); if (element) { element.style.display = show ?
