After building a Bootstrap menu with a lightbox effect that overlays the page content when expanded, I encountered some issues.
I attempted to use JavaScript functions to hide and display the lightbox_container element when toggling the nav. However, adding the second function to toggle the nav off when clicking outside of it on the lightbox_container resulted in unexpected behavior, as it would set the dropdown to display:none, preventing it from expanding again.
$("#navbarSupportedContent").on('show.bs.collapse hide.bs.collapse', function(e) {
var lightbox = document.getElementById("lightbox_container");
if (e.type == 'hide') {
lightbox.style.display = "none";
} else if (e.type == 'show') {
lightbox.style.display = "block";
}
});
$("#lightbox_container").on("click", function() {
if ($("#navbarSupportedContent").hasClass("show")) {
$("#navbarSupportedContent").hide();
}
var lightbox = document.getElementById("lightbox_container");
lightbox.style.display = "none";
});#lightbox_container {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
z-index: 40;
display: none;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
nav {
z-index: 50;
background-color: red;
}
.icon {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 5px;
