i have a CSS Drop Down Menu...
what i am doing with this in a certain portion of my website is that i am using its links to call AJAX-jQuery to change the contents of a DIV on the page without reloading...
<script type="text/javascript">
function load_editor(id)
{
$('#myDIV').load('editor.php?id=' + id);
}
</script>
<div class="mainmenu">
<ul>
<li class="li_nc"><a href="javascript:load_editor('1')">Home</a></li>
<li class="li_hc"><a href="#" >Programs</a><ul class="ul_ch">
<li class="li_hc"><a href="#" >Engineering</a><ul class="ul_ch">
<li class="li_nc"><a href="javascript:load_editor('2')" >BEE ( Electronics 4 Years )</a></li>
<li class="li_nc"><a href="javascript:load_editor('3')" >BEE ( Tele Comm. 4 Years )</a></li>
<!--and the following code is the usual CSS Drop Down Menu Code-->
well normally when we click the Drop Down Menu... we navigate to another Page but since i am not switching to another page...
what happens is when i click a menu item it performs the JS but doesn't collapses, that is, it stays in the HOVER STATE
following is an screen-shot after a click
which is logical because the cursor is still there and when i will move the cursor OUT it will go back to collapse state but i want to change its behavior such that when i click it collapses...
ONE WAY is that when i click and the #myDIV
is loaded with the required div... i load the Drop Down Menu Layer with itself (reload it)...
BUT i am looking for an alternative
so my question in simple words
- Make CSS Drop Down Menu collapse when clicked
