In this post we want to explain how to design responsive collapsed navigation menu, images and advertisements grids for different media devices.

Collapsing navigation menu for mobile devices to reduce screen responsive. HTML Code

</div>
<ul class="menu">
<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>

<li><a href="#">Link</a></li>

<div style="clear:both;"></div>
CSS Code @media 768px +
Here .menu > li is float:left
a { text-decoration: none; }
.menubar { width:100%; height:39px; background-color: #006699; }
.menu { float: left; position: relative; padding: 10px; }
.menubar .menu > li { float: left; line-height: 20px; }
.menu > li > a { color: #ffffff; font-size: 15px; padding:10px 15px 10px; }
.menu > li > a:hover, .menu > li > a:active { background-color:#4682b4; border-radius:4px; }
.responsive-menu { display: none; color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold; padding: 5px; border-bottom: 2px solid #ffffff;width:100%; }
.menubar { width:100%; height:39px; background-color: #006699; }
.menu { float: left; position: relative; padding: 10px; }
.menubar .menu > li { float: left; line-height: 20px; }
.menu > li > a { color: #ffffff; font-size: 15px; padding:10px 15px 10px; }
.menu > li > a:hover, .menu > li > a:active { background-color:#4682b4; border-radius:4px; }
.responsive-menu { display: none; color: #ffffff; font-weight: bold; padding: 5px; border-bottom: 2px solid #ffffff;width:100%; }
CSS Code @media 767px -
Here .menu > li is width:100%
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.menubar{clear:left; height:auto !important; display: table; }
.menu{ float: none; width:100%; padding:0px !important; display: none; }
.menubar .menu > li { width:100%; border-bottom: 1px solid #dedede; cursor: pointer; padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; }
.menu > li:hover, .menu > li:active { background-color:#4682b4;}
.responsive-menu { display: inline-block !important; }
}
.menubar{clear:left; height:auto !important; display: table; }
.menu{ float: none; width:100%; padding:0px !important; display: none; }
.menubar .menu > li { width:100%; border-bottom: 1px solid #dedede; cursor: pointer; padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; }
.menu > li:hover, .menu > li:active { background-color:#4682b4;}
.responsive-menu { display: inline-block !important; }
}
CSS Code for menu dropdown arrow.
/* Down Arrow Icon */
.menuicon {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 10px solid transparent;
border-right: 10px solid transparent;
border-top: 10px solid #ffffff;
position: absolute;
right: 8px;
top:11px;
}
.menuicon {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 10px solid transparent;
border-right: 10px solid transparent;
border-top: 10px solid #ffffff;
position: absolute;
right: 8px;
top:11px;
}
JavaScript
Contains javascipt code. $(".menuicon").click(function(){} - menuicon is the class name of the arrow. Using slideToggle $(".menu").slideToggle(); for drop down this list.
<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$(".menuicon").click(function()
{
$(".menu").slideToggle();
});
// Window resizing function
$(window).resize(function()
{
if($(this).width() < 767)
{
$(".menu").hide();
}
else
{
$(".menu").show();
}
});
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$(".menuicon").click(function()
{
$(".menu").slideToggle();
});
// Window resizing function
$(window).resize(function()
{
if($(this).width() < 767)
{
$(".menu").hide();
}
else
{
$(".menu").show();
}
});
});
</script>
$(window).resize(function() is understand the screen resolution, based on width it will show and hide .menu part.
Advertisement Blocks
HTML Code
I have created three horizontal DIVs are .ad_big 728px, .ad_medium 468px and .ad_small 300px.
<div class="ad_big">728px Ad</div>
<div class="ad_medium">467px Ad</div>
<div class="ad_small">300px Ad</div>
<div class="ad_medium">467px Ad</div>
<div class="ad_small">300px Ad</div>
CSS Code
Based on media resolution system will show advertisement blocks.
.ad_big,.ad_medium,.ad_small{ padding:5px;margin:5px; }
.ad_medium,.ad_small { display:none; }
/* Ads devices */
@media (min-width: 478px) and (max-width: 738px) {
.ad_medium{
display: block !important;
}
.ad_big,.ad_small {
display: none;
}
}
@media (min-width: 325px) and (max-width: 477px) {
.ad_small {
display:block !important;
}
.ad_big,.ad_medium {
display: none !important;
}
}
@media (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 324px) {
.ad_small {
display:block !important;
}
.ad_big,.ad_medium {
display: none !important;
}
}
.ad_medium,.ad_small { display:none; }
/* Ads devices */
@media (min-width: 478px) and (max-width: 738px) {
.ad_medium{
display: block !important;
}
.ad_big,.ad_small {
display: none;
}
}
@media (min-width: 325px) and (max-width: 477px) {
.ad_small {
display:block !important;
}
.ad_big,.ad_medium {
display: none !important;
}
}
@media (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 324px) {
.ad_small {
display:block !important;
}
.ad_big,.ad_medium {
display: none !important;
}
}
