Within my Bootstrap modal, there is a button that triggers the display of a dropdown menu right under it. This dropdown contains an unordered list with anchor links.
The issue arises when the height of the modal's container isn't set high enough; this leads to the last items in the dropdown not being visible because they extend beyond the modal boundaries.
To solve this problem, I refrained from using overflow and instead focused on custom styling for the dropdown menu, which I created myself.
This is the CSS code snippet for the dropdown:
.wrapper-for-dropdown {
width: 300px;
z-index:9999;
color: #333;
background-color: #fff;
position: absolute;
display: none;
border: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-radius: 4px;
border-color:#ccc;
overflow-wrap:normal;
}
.wrapper-for-dropdown:hover {
border: solid;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #ccc;
}
.dropdown-ul {
list-style-type: none;
-moz-st color: white;
text-align: left;
padding-left: 10px;
overflow-y: visible;
}
.dropdown-ul li {
float: left;
display: inline-block;
height: auto;
width: 250px;
}
.dropdown-ul li:hover {
}
.dropdown-ul li a {
color: #38546d;
display: block;
float: left;
}
.dropdown-ul li a:hover {
color: black;
display: block;
float: left;
}
