How do I create a pure dropdown in CSS?

To create a dropdown menu in Pure. CSS, we use class pure-menu-has-children and pure-menu-allow-hover. This class allows us to convert any element into a dropdown item.

Can you style dropdown in CSS?

You can style the contents of the dropdown menu using CSS. Take a look at the example HTML code below. There are now three new element ids in use. They are applied to the href elements of the “dropdownMenuItems” class.

html, body {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

/* define a fixed width for the entire menu */
.navigation {
  width: 150px;
}

/* reset our lists to remove bullet points and padding */
.mainmenu, .submenu {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

/* make ALL links (main and submenu) have padding and background color */
.mainmenu a {
  display: block;
  background-color: #CCC;
  text-decoration: none;
  padding: 10px;
  color: #000;
}

/* add hover behaviour */
.mainmenu a:hover {
    background-color: #C5C5C5;
}


/* when hovering over a .mainmenu item,
  display the submenu inside it.
  we're changing the submenu's max-height from 0 to 200px;
*/

.mainmenu li:hover .submenu {
  display: block;
  max-height: 200px;
}

/*
  we now overwrite the background-color for .submenu links only.
  CSS reads down the page, so code at the bottom will overwrite the code at the top.
*/

.submenu a {
  background-color: #999;
}

/* hover behaviour for links inside .submenu */
.submenu a:hover {
  background-color: #666;
}

/* this is the initial state of all submenus.
  we set it to max-height: 0, and hide the overflowed content.
*/
.submenu {
  overflow: hidden;
  max-height: 0;
  -webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
