I modified your code a bit and can place the content anywhere on the page to perform the desired animation (not just under the "dropdown"). In my case I am sliding a menu from the left to the right in a container located below my header/menu... very cool! Looks fantastic on mobile devices! Super user friendly! Thanks Kyle!

Great tutorial Kyle! I was doing something very similar with a "slide in" menu, but was using click events on the menu buttons. I love the use of data attributes and the event listener! I was doing something "creative" to call the correct menu to "slide" based on IDs etc... This is much cleaner and I will be moving my design to use data attributes and a simple event listener to production! Thanks Kyle!!!

The method outlined here is visually appealing and the code (having finally figured it out with slight modification to my CSS) is a keeper. However, using the tab key to navigate through the menu items one has to cycle through the contents of the drop down menus and this stems by toggling opacity as opposed to display. Even though it looks great the downside is folks that are visually impaired shouldn't have to go through this mundane process. It's one thing to disregard Internet Explorer when selecting your target audience but quite another not to take the visually handicapped into consideration. Please cater to them by using Wai-Aria. Thankyou for this block of code.

@@williamlindsayiii824 To answer your question directly use aria-expanded when creating drop down menus. There's quite a bit to learn using Wai-Aria. But why stop there; if we are using accessibility in the navigation bar we should implement it throughout our HTML document. Try and refrain from using div's and use schematic tags like nav, article, aside, section, figure, figcaption and obviously the h1 through h6 tags. Use the 'Outline Algorithm' to reflect as how you intended your page to be displayed (Notice how I phrased this sentence). Use hgroup to hide tags so they don't show up in the Outliner Algorithm Tool. This is used by screen readers and web crawlers to interpret your content. With respect to SEO, it's the content that gets ranked so take advantage of 'google search console'. I hope this helps and sheds some light on where you need to focus on learning these technologies.

How about a pure CSS solution: use nested s & s while leveraging pseudoclass :focus-within, :focus, and :hover. Focus Within should do the heavy lifting, but you may want the Hovers, and also .sibling:pseudo ~ .sibling-or-child, depending on how you want to put it together. If this doesn't makes sense to you, good. Go explore. It's 2021. You don't need JavaScript (which is great) to make amazing, solid, scalable dropdown menus, megamenus, popovers, etc.

Maybe I'm lacking in my CSS kung fu but how do you handle toggling an attribute? You need aria-expanded to convey the state of the control to a screen reader to be accessible. So aria-expanded needs to be toggled between true / false and the only way I know how to do that is with JS. Also, you have to be careful with pseudo elements because screen readers only read what's in the DOM. I'd have to see an example but I'd be very concerned about the accessibility of it.

This is really poor UX - creating similar-looking elements with completely different behavior is confusing for the user and should be avoided. Also if you need to organize that much information into a single dropdown on you header, maybe its better to rathet consider how your information architecture is laid out. This is basically how websites used to be made in the late 90s, early 2000's and theres a reason why this sort of navigation has been shunned by UX designers - its not user friendly... You're a great guy Kyle, and have some good advice sometimes - so keep up what you're doing with this channel, but this video was not so much your classic developer tips as jumping into the UX field without doing proper research first, I would recommend anyone to read research done by NNG on the subject as a starting point...

I was there, yes I'm old!). It's used by very large organisations (eg Amazon, Apple, Microsoft) as well as smaller entities. I do agree that there should be something that indicates to the user the thing drops down (a dropdown symbol of some sort) to distinguish the dropdown menus from regular links, but otherwise I wouldn't call it bad UX per se.

Imao, it's not about avoiding JS all together because you can't use it, but rather if there is a CSS solution for it, skip the JS. It simplyfies the web app as it gets more complex. For instance, by using CSS instead of JS when you can, you don't have to reinitialize UI JS code every time the DOM changes. Take it from someone with more than 20 years of web dev experience 😉

This dropdown has a flaw. The dropdown is always rendered and placed on the screen, just with opacity 0. User can still click on it. It's better to add *visibility: hidden* and *visibility: visible* to hide/show menu. This would still work with the opacity transition.

Nice rundown! One little loose end though; if your screen width was any smaller that Login dropdown would overflow off the right side of the screen wouldn't it? How do you ensure the dropdown gets pushed in that case to the left to accommodate for that?
