"Creating a Large Content Menu with Bootstrap: A Step-by-Step Guide

I am looking to create a dynamic mega-menu using Bootstrap that will include categories with multiple sub-categories, each containing various links and images.

After reviewing the Bootstrap nav documentation, I am unsure of how to achieve this complex navigation structure.

If you visit this site, you can see an example of the type of menu I am aiming for. I would like to implement similar functionality on my website.

Could someone provide guidance on how to build a mega-menu like this? Any helpful methods or concepts would be greatly appreciated.

A demonstration or jsfiddle showcasing the implementation would be incredibly helpful as well.

Answer №1

If you are utilizing bootstrap, it can assist in creating responsive navigations that collapse on smaller screens but lacks a built-in mega-menu feature. However, you have the option to extend the bootstrap nav bar into a mega-menu using Basic HTML, CSS, or jQuery if you have the know-how. Simply nest a series of unordered lists (ul li) according to your requirements and apply hover rules to them.

In some cases, it may become cumbersome. For this reason, check out this codepen link where you can view and analyze the code.

jQuery(document).on('click', '.mega-dropdown', function(e) {
  e.stopPropagation()
})
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,700);
body {
  font-family: 'Open Sans', 'sans-serif';
  background: #f0f0f0;
  background: url(https://pcbx.us/bfjb.jpg);
}

.h1 {
  font-size: 36px;
