Sub menu on scrollable parent using HTML and CSS










0














I am programming this on rails but the problem is in html+css+javascript.






<ul>
<li>Menu1
<ul style="overflow: hidden auto; height: 400px; display: none;">
<li class="sub-menu">
<a href="#">
<div>submenu1</div>
</a>
<ul style="left: 258px; height: 400px; display: none;">
<li>
<a href="#">
<div>Subsubmenu1</div>
</a>
</li>
<li class="line"></li>
<li>
<a href="#">
<div>Subsubmenu2</div>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>





I have this long list of submenus so i want it scrollable.
As soon as i add overflow to the sub menu list the Sub Sub menus stop being displayed. I tried checking for javascript errors without success.

    Can you include your CSS and Javascript into the snippet?

  • The question was rather general. Is it possible or not to have sub submenus on scrollable submenus? I added the code to illustrate. I think it is obvious I am not really good at frontend solutions so it would be difficult to find the relevant pieces of CSS and JS.

  • Your code above is not very helpful. Why are you using display none & left CSS. Does it display when you remove the display: none; style.

  • I am aware the piece of code is not helpful. As I stated previously I dont want a specific solution for this piece of code. I am asking a generic question whether it is possible to have a submenu(show on hover) on a scrollable parent.
