I have shared many gadgets but this one is no.1. Its a responsive drop down menu, many bloggers search responsive menus for their blogs as it looks cool and attracts users but they are disappointed because on many websites there are codes of the menu but these codes doesn't work.
Today bloggers are in competition with each other for traffic, but traffic isn't every thing, a successful blogger not only focus on his blog traffic but also his blog impression and look. A menu navigates users in a blog as it divides blog into categories so a visitor can find his interests easily. You can find many menus on internet and many websites provide menu codes but doesn't give method of adding the menu on blog, so in this post I will tell you how to add a stylish responsive drop down menu to your blog.
Screenshot:
How to add this menu to your blog?
To add this menu to your blog follow the below steps:
Step 1: Go to Blogger Dashboard and click Layout.
Step 2: Click add a gadget and scroll down to find Html/Javascript.
Step 3: Copy below code, paste it is Html/Javascript tab and save the gadget:
<script>
(function($) {
$.fn.menumaker = function(options) {
var cssmenu = $(this), settings = $.extend({
title: "Menu",
format: "dropdown",
sticky: false
}, options);
return this.each(function() {
cssmenu.prepend('<div id="menu-button">' + settings.title + '</div>');
$(this).find("#menu-button").on('click', function(){
$(this).toggleClass('menu-opened');
var mainmenu = $(this).next('ul');
if (mainmenu.hasClass('open')) {
mainmenu.hide().removeClass('open');
}
else {
mainmenu.show().addClass('open');
if (settings.format === "dropdown") {
mainmenu.find('ul').show();
}
}
});
cssmenu.find('li ul').parent().addClass('has-sub');
multiTg = function() {
cssmenu.find(".has-sub").prepend('<span class="submenu-button"></span>');
cssmenu.find('.submenu-button').on('click', function() {
$(this).toggleClass('submenu-opened');
if ($(this).siblings('ul').hasClass('open')) {
$(this).siblings('ul').removeClass('open').hide();
}
else {
$(this).siblings('ul').addClass('open').show();
}
});
};
if (settings.format === 'multitoggle') multiTg();
else cssmenu.addClass('dropdown');
if (settings.sticky === true) cssmenu.css('position', 'fixed');
resizeFix = function() {
if ($( window ).width() > 768) {
cssmenu.find('ul').show();
}
if ($(window).width() <= 768) {
cssmenu.find('ul').hide().removeClass('open');
}
};
resizeFix();
return $(window).on('resize', resizeFix);
});
};
})(jQuery);
(function($){
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#cssmenu").menumaker({
title: "Menu",
format: "multitoggle"
});
$("#cssmenu").prepend("<div id='menu-line'></div>");
var foundActive = false, activeElement, linePosition = 0, menuLine = $("#cssmenu #menu-line"), lineWidth, defaultPosition, defaultWidth;
$("#cssmenu > ul > li").each(function() {
if ($(this).hasClass('active')) {
activeElement = $(this);
foundActive = true;
}
});
if (foundActive === false) {
activeElement = $("#cssmenu > ul > li").first();
}
defaultWidth = lineWidth = activeElement.width();
defaultPosition = linePosition = activeElement.position().left;
menuLine.css("width", lineWidth);
menuLine.css("left", linePosition);
$("#cssmenu > ul > li").hover(function() {
activeElement = $(this);
lineWidth = activeElement.width();
linePosition = activeElement.position().left;
menuLine.css("width", lineWidth);
menuLine.css("left", linePosition);
},
function() {
menuLine.css("left", defaultPosition);
menuLine.css("width", defaultWidth);
});
});
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
Step 4: After following step 3 copy the below code and paste it above </head> in your blog template by going to template option and clicking on edit html.
<meta charset='utf-8'/>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"/>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Step 5: Copy the below code and paste it below </header> in the template of your blog but if you wish the menu to appear below your blog title or blog but if you want it to show anywhere else simply copy below code and paste it there.
<div id='cssmenu'>
<ul>
<li><a href='#'>Home</a></li>
<li class='active has-sub'><a href='#'>Products</a>
<ul>
<li class='has-sub'><a href='#'>Product 1</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Product</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Product</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class='has-sub'><a href='#'>Product 2</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Product</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Product</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href='#'>About</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Step 6: In this step we are going to style our menu so for that we have to add a piece of CSS code, so go to template and click customize now on the customization page click Advanced and scroll down to the last option(Add css) and paste the below code in the Add css tab:

How to customize this menu according to your choices?
101Helper give you a brief description of every gadget it share along with customization points similarly in this post I will tell you how can you customize this menu according to your choices. See the customization points below:
It goes without saying that while adding this menu every blogger would like to first change the text of the menu tabs and also add links to them because this menu don't get your blog links automatically so to change text of the tabs and add your blog links you have to make changes in Step 4 where red highlighted text is the text of tabs and # is to make spaces for links. In the html code of step 4 first tab text is home which is not changed because every blog has a homepage so leave it and move on-ward and change Products, product 1, product 2, sub product of both drop down tabs after you change the text it time to add the destination links of the text so replace # with links of the pages for example:
<li><a href='http://101helper.blogspot.com'>Home</a></li>
You can see that # is replaced with the url of home page. Similarly replace # with links of the contact and about page respectively. If any of the page doesn't exist in your blog such as about page or any other page and you want that tab to be removed the simply remove
<li><a href='#'>About</a></li> , do same for other pages. And if you want to remove the drop down tabs then remove:
<li class='active has-sub'><a href='#'>Products</a>
<ul>
<li class='has-sub'><a href='#'>Product 1</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Product</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Product</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class='has-sub'><a href='#'>Product 2</a>
<ul>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Product</a></li>
<li><a href='#'>Sub Product</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
Similarly to add more tabs simply add <li><a href='#'>About</a></li> and replace About with the text which you want to display and # with the destination link of that tab. For example if you have a category and you wish to display it in the menu then replace About with the name of that category and # with link of that category.
Note: Make sure to save the gadget after every change you make in the code.
You can also make changes in color of the tabs in Css code(step6) but I suggest you to not do that unless you have a little knowledge about css and codes of the colors because this may cause menu disappear.
