CSS dropdown menu
CSS Drop-down Menu
Use CSS to create an effect that displays a drop-down menu when the mouse is moved up.
Basic drop-down menu
When the mouse moves over the specified element, a drop-down menu will appear.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title> PHP中文网（php.cn）</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">

.dropdown {
position: relative;

.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
min-width: 160px;

Example analysis
HTML part:
We can use any HTM element to open the drop-down menu, such as: <span>, or a <button> element.
Use a container element (such as <div>) to create the content of the drop-down menu and place it wherever you want.
Use <div> elements to wrap these elements, and use CSS to style the dropdown content.
CSS part: The
.dropdown class uses position:relative, which will set the content of the drop-down menu to be placed in the lower right corner of the drop-down button (using position:absolute). The
.dropdown-content class is the actual drop-down menu. It is hidden by default and will be displayed after the mouse moves to the specified element. Note that the min-width value is set to 160px. You can modify it as you like. Note: If you want to set the drop-down content to be consistent with the width of the drop-down button, you can set width to 100% (the overflow:auto setting can scroll on small screens).
We use the box-shadow attribute to make the drop-down menu look like a "card".
:hover selector is used to display the drop-down menu when the user moves the mouse over the drop-down button.
Drop-down menu
Create a drop-down menu and allow users to select an item in the list. We added a link to the drop-down list and set the style:
<!DOCTYPE html>

.dropbtn {
background-color: #4CAF50;
