Is there a way to modify the drop-down button so that it can display the links from the side while keeping the button fixed in place?

https://i.stack.imgur.com/ftj6w.pnghttps://i.stack.imgur.com/VuCDo.png

[I am new to creating websites and any assistance is welcomed.] This code snippet is used to display dropdown button links in a list format. My goal is to make the links appear on the right side of the button when hovering over "More about Us".

[HTML]
<div class="Links">
    <div class="dropdown">
  <button class="dropbtn">More About Us</button>
  <div class="dropdown-content">
    <a href="#">Employees</a>
    <a href="#">What we do</a>
    <a href="#">FAQ</a>
  </div>

</body>
</html>

[CSS]
/* Dropdown Button */
.dropbtn {
  background-color: brown;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px;
  font-size: 40px;
  border: outset;
  font-family: Agency FB;
}

/* The container <div> - needed to position the dropdown content */
.dropdown {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
}

/* Dropdown Content (Hidden by Default) */
.dropdown-content {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
  min-width: 160px;
  box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
  z-index: 1;
}

/* Links inside the dropdown */
.dropdown-content a {
  color: black;
  padding: 12px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
}

/* Change color of dropdown links on hover */
.dropdown-content a:hover {background-color: #ddd;}

/* Show the dropdown menu on hover */
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {display: block;}

/* Change the background color of the dropdown button when the dropdown content is shown */
.dropdown:hover .dropbtn {background-color: #B9DADC;}

Answer №1

Alright, if I understand correctly now, you can solve this by adjusting the position of the .dropdown-content.

.dropdown-content {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
  min-width: 160px;
  box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
  z-index: 1;
  left: 100%;
  top:0;
}


/* Dropdown Button */
.dropbtn {
  background-color: brown;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px;
  font-size: 40px;
  border: outset;
  font-family: Agency FB;
}

/* The container <div> - needed to position the dropdown content */
.dropdown {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
}

/* Dropdown Content (Hidden by Default) */
.dropdown-content {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
  min-width: 160px;
  box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
  z-index: 1;
  /*SET POSITION TO THE RIGHT AND TOP OF PARENT BOUNDARIES*/
  left: 100%;
  top:0;
}

/* Links inside the dropdown */
.dropdown-content a {
  color: black;
  padding: 12px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
}

/* Change color of dropdown links on hover */
.dropdown-content a:hover {background-color: #ddd;}

/* Show the dropdown menu on hover */
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {display: block;}

/* Change the background color of the dropdown button when the dropdown content is shown */
.dropdown:hover .dropbtn {background-color: #B9DADC;}
<html>
      <body>
        <div class ="Links">
        <div class="dropdown">
      <button class="dropbtn">More About Us</button>
      <div class="dropdown-content">
        <a href="#">Employees</a>
        <a href="#">What we do</a>
        <a href="#">FAQ</a>
      </div>
    
    </body>
    </html>

I see now that you want the links displayed all in line. To achieve this, you need to set a fixed width for .dropdown-content like :

width: 350px;

and change the display property of an element, like

display: inline-block;


/* Dropdown Button */
.dropbtn {
  background-color: brown;
  color: white;
  padding: 10px;
  font-size: 40px;
  border: outset;
  font-family: Agency FB;
}

/* The container <div> - needed to position the dropdown content */
.dropdown {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
}

/* Dropdown Content (Hidden by Default) */
.dropdown-content {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
  min-width: 160px;
  box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
  z-index: 1;
  /*SET POSITION TO THE RIGHT AND TOP OF PARENT BOUNDARIES*/
  left: 100%;
  top:0;
width:350px;
}

/* Links inside the dropdown */
.dropdown-content a {
  color: black;
  padding: 12px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
display:inline-block;
}

/* Change color of dropdown links on hover */
.dropdown-content a:hover {background-color: #ddd;}

/* Show the dropdown menu on hover */
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {display: block;}

/* Change the background color of the dropdown button when the dropdown content is shown */
.dropdown:hover .dropbtn {background-color: #B9DADC;}
<html>
      <body>
        <div class ="Links">
        <div class="dropdown">
      <button class="dropbtn">More About Us</button>
      <div class="dropdown-content">
        <a href="#">Employees</a>
        <a href="#">What we do</a>
        <a href="#">FAQ</a>
      </div>
    
    </body>
    </html>

This may not be the perfect solution, but it's the only one that comes to mind right now. You could experiment with

display: flex;

by adding it to the .dropdown-content and then adjusting child elements accordingly.
