This explains how to change the default Bootstrap 4 NavBar<\/strong> so that any drop down is activated by a mouse rollover rather than an on-click.\u00a0 It also shows how to change the top level navigation link to be clickable.<\/p>\n

The default behaviour of the Bootstrap 4 navigation is any drop down has to be clicked for the drop down to work.\u00a0 The Bootstrap version that I am currently using is version 4.3 which you can see at:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/getbootstrap.com\/docs\/4.3\/components\/navbar\/#supported-content<\/p>\n

If you look at the given example, part of the navbar is the drop down code:<\/p>\n

 <li<\/span> class=<\/span>\"nav-item dropdown\"<\/span>><\/span>\r\n        <a<\/span> class=<\/span>\"nav-link \r\n                  dropdown-toggle\"<\/span> \r\n                  href=<\/span>\"#\"<\/span> \r\n                  id=<\/span>\"navbarDropdown\"<\/span> \r\n                  role=<\/span>\"button\"<\/span> \r\n                  data-toggle=<\/span>\"dropdown\"<\/span> <\/strong>\r\n                  aria-haspopup=<\/span>\"true\"<\/span> \r\n                  aria-expanded=<\/span>\"false\"<\/span>><\/span>\r\n          Dropdown\r\n        <\/a><\/span>\r\n        <div<\/span> class=<\/span>\"dropdown-menu\"<\/span> aria-labelledby=<\/span>\"navbarDropdown\"<\/span>><\/span>\r\n          <a<\/span> class=<\/span>\"dropdown-item\"<\/span> href=<\/span>\"#\"<\/span>><\/span>Action<\/a><\/span>\r\n          <a<\/span> class=<\/span>\"dropdown-item\"<\/span> href=<\/span>\"#\"<\/span>><\/span>Another action<\/a><\/span>\r\n          <div<\/span> class=<\/span>\"dropdown-divider\"<\/span>><\/div><\/span>\r\n          <a<\/span> class=<\/span>\"dropdown-item\"<\/span> href=<\/span>\"#\"<\/span>><\/span>Something else here<\/a><\/span>\r\n        <\/div><\/span>\r\n      <\/li><\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n
To allow mouse rollover, add in the following styles as follows:<\/p>\n
<style>\r\n.dropdown:hover .dropdown-menu {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n<\/style><\/pre>\n
Now remove the line data-toggle=”dropdown”<\/strong>\u00a0 in the dropdown code which will make the top link clickable.<\/p>\n
So that should be that.\u00a0 Now a mouse rollover will cause the drop down to appear, and the top link is clickable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
