As a newcomer to JavaScript, I am currently learning the language while working on a website. I have customized a template that I found online but am struggling with the JS code that I'm not very familiar with. Here's my issue:
When using the navbar toggler, there is a piece of custom JS that closes the menu when a click occurs within the menu. The problem arises when I added a dropdown into the menu - clicking on it triggers the JS to close the menu instead of showing the dropdown details. Here is the JS code snippet:
// JavaScript code snippet
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', event => {
// Navbar shrink function
var navbarShrink = function () {
const navbarCollapsible = document.body.querySelector('#mainNav');
if (!navbarCollapsible) {
return;
}
if (window.scrollY === 0) {
navbarCollapsible.classList.remove('navbar-shrink')
} else {
navbarCollapsible.classList.add('navbar-shrink')
}
};
// More JavaScript code
});
While I understand the general functionality of the JavaScript code, I am not sure how to modify it to prevent the dropdown from closing the menu. I believe there must be a simple way to modify the existing code to check for specific clicks (such as on a .dropdown-menu). However, as I lack experience in JS, I'm struggling to implement this modification.
Here is the relevant HTML code:
<!-- HTML code snippet -->
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" data-bs-toggle="dropdown">F.A.Q.</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-dark">
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Knowledge Base</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Where are you located</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">How long is shipping</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
Although this issue may seem trivial to experienced JS developers, I am struggling to find a solution due to my lack of expertise in the language. Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
