Currently, I am working on developing a website and decided to kickstart the project by using the dashboard example provided on the Bootstrap website. However, I encountered an issue when trying to integrate a dropdown into the navbar. It seems that the dropdown remains confined within the navbar, disrupting the entire layout. I am unsure about the particular style that is triggering this problem. Since the code is extensive, I have uploaded it to Codepen for reference: https://codepen.io/andersmmg/pen/wOgmby
Below is the CSS snippet that is essential for ensuring the dashboard style functions correctly:
body {
font-size: .875rem;
}
.feather {
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
vertical-align: text-bottom;
}
/*
* Sidebar
*/
.sidebar {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: 100; /* Positioned behind the navbar */
padding: 48px 0 0; /* Equivalent to navbar height */
box-shadow: inset -1px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
}
.sidebar-sticky {
position: relative;
top: 0;
height: calc(100vh - 48px);
padding-top: .5rem;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto; /* Allows for scrollable content */
}
@supports ((position: -webkit-sticky) or (position: sticky)) {
.sidebar-sticky {
position: -webkit-sticky;
position: sticky;
}
}
.sidebar .nav-link {
font-weight: 500;
color: #333;
}
.sidebar .nav-link .feather {
margin-right: 4px;
color: #999;
}
.sidebar .nav-link.active {
color: #007bff;
}
.sidebar .nav-link:hover .feather,
.sidebar .nav-link.active .feather {
color: inherit;
}
.sidebar-heading {
font-size: .75rem;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
/*
* Content
*/
[role="main"] {
padding-top: 48px; /* Space allocated for fixed navbar */
}
/*
* Navbar
*/
.navbar-brand {
padding-top: .75rem;
padding-bottom: .75rem;
font-size: 1rem;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .25);
box-shadow: inset -1px 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .25);
}
.navbar .form-control {
padding: .75rem 1rem;
border-width: 0;
border-radius: 0;
}
.navbar .form-control::placeholder {
color: white;
}
.navbar .form-control:focus::placeholder {
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.46);
}
.form-control-dark {
color: #fff;
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, .1);
border-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, .1);
}
.form-control-dark:focus {
border-color: transparent;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px rgba(255, 255, 255, .25);
}
