Introduction

Add a dropdown list to any button. Make sure that the data-activates attribute matches the id in the <ul> tag.

You can add a divider with the <li class="divider"></li> tag.

Drop Me!

          <!-- Dropdown Trigger -->
          <a class='dropdown-button btn' href='#' data-activates='dropdown1'>Drop Me!</a>
          
          <!-- Dropdown Structure -->
          <ul id='dropdown1' class='dropdown-content'>
            <li><a href="#!">one</a></li>
            <li><a href="#!">two</a></li>
            <li class="divider"></li>
            <li><a href="#!">three</a></li>
          </ul>
        

Options

Option Name Description
induration The duration of the transition enter in milliseconds. Default: 300
outduration The duration of the transition out in milliseconds. Default: 225
constrainwidth If true, constrainWidth to the size of the dropdown activator. Default: true
hover If true, the dropdown will open on hover. Default: false
gutter This defines the spacing from the aligned edge. Default: 0
beloworigin If true, the dropdown will show below the activator. Default: false
alignment Defines the edge the menu is aligned to. Default: 'left'

To use these inline you have to add them as data attributes. If you want more dynamic control, you can define them using the jQuery plugin below.


          <a class='dropdown-button btn' data-beloworigin="true" href='#' data-activates='dropdown1'>Drop Me!</a>
        

jQuery Plugin Initialization

Initialization for dropdowns is only necessary if you create them dynamically.


          $('.dropdown-button').dropdown({
            inDuration: 300,
            outDuration: 225,
            constrain_width: false, // Does not change width of dropdown to that of the activator
            hover: true, // Activate on hover
            gutter: 0, // Spacing from edge
            belowOrigin: false, // Displays dropdown below the button
            alignment: 'left' // Displays dropdown with edge aligned to the left of button
          });
