Dropdown issue, propably rookie mistake












0















I am fairly new in coding and I am trying to create a dropdown menu but can't seem to make it work. I have seen similar questions here and read through almost all of them but me beeing new to this I am not able to apply any of those answers to my code, so that's why I believe a more personalised answer would be a good way for me to understand what's up. It's either something I don't understand about dropdowns or a silly typo that I can't find so any help would be appreciated. Especially any help that could make me understand my error.



I would like to avoid using Bootstrap in order to get a better understanding about how things work.

  • Your selector .navcontainer__dropdown:hover .navcontainer__dropdown__dropdown-content will never match anything - because .navcontainer__dropdown__dropdown-content is not a descendant of .navcontainer__dropdown, but the “space” between those two selectors is the descendant combinator. To select the immediately following sibling of the hovered element, you would need to use the adjacent sibling combinator instead. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Introduction_to_CSS/…

html css drop-down-menu dropdown







share|improve this question














I am fairly new in coding and I am trying to create a dropdown menu but can't seem to make it work. I have seen similar questions here and read through almost all of them but me beeing new to this I am not able to apply any of those answers to my code, so that's why I believe a more personalised answer would be a good way for me to understand what's up. It's either something I don't understand about dropdowns or a silly typo that I can't find so any help would be appreciated. Especially any help that could make me understand my error.



I would like to avoid using Bootstrap in order to get a better understanding about how things work.

  • Your selector .navcontainer__dropdown:hover .navcontainer__dropdown__dropdown-content will never match anything - because .navcontainer__dropdown__dropdown-content is not a descendant of .navcontainer__dropdown, but the “space” between those two selectors is the descendant combinator. To select the immediately following sibling of the hovered element, you would need to use the adjacent sibling combinator instead. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Introduction_to_CSS/…

I have added some css please check it.



Your dropdown is child of li tag so that below css not work for this



.navcontainer__dropdown:hover .navcontainer__dropdown__dropdown-content {

  display: block;

}


Instead of use this:



.navcontainer__item:hover .navcontainer__dropdown-content {

  background-color: #4d4d4d;

  display: block;

}


Also you need to remove overflow for the ul, other wise you can not show the dropdown.



One more point when you used absolute position please make sure that it's parent have relative position.






.flex-container {

  margin: auto;

  background-color: #ffffff;

  min-height: 100%;

}



.header {

  background-color: #ffffff;

  • Thank you, that helped a lot, I still don't understand why you did many of the other changes you did though, like not hide the overflow on navbar.

Looking at your CSS, it looks like a typing error on your part.



.navcontainer__dropdown:hover .navcontainer__dropdown__dropdown-content {

  display: block;

}


Looks like you have an extra dropdown word in there. try



.navcontainer__dropdown:hover .navcontainer__dropdown-content {

  display: block;

}

I have added some css please check it.



Your dropdown is child of li tag so that below css not work for this



.navcontainer__dropdown:hover .navcontainer__dropdown__dropdown-content {

  display: block;

}


Instead of use this:



.navcontainer__item:hover .navcontainer__dropdown-content {

  background-color: #4d4d4d;

  display: block;

}


Also you need to remove overflow for the ul, other wise you can not show the dropdown.



One more point when you used absolute position please make sure that it's parent have relative position.






.flex-container {

  margin: auto;

  background-color: #ffffff;

  min-height: 100%;

}



.header {

  background-color: #ffffff;

  margin: auto;

  height: 100px;

  position: relative;

}



.header__logo {

  width: 250px;

  height: auto;

  position: absolute;

  top: 10px;

  left: 0;

}



.navcontainer {

  margin: auto;

  background-color: #ffffff;

}



.navcontainer__active {

  background-color: #4d4d4d;

}



.navcontainer__dropdown-content {

  display: none;

Looking at your CSS, it looks like a typing error on your part.



.navcontainer__dropdown:hover .navcontainer__dropdown__dropdown-content {

  display: block;

}


Looks like you have an extra dropdown word in there. try



.navcontainer__dropdown:hover .navcontainer__dropdown-content {

  display: block;

}

Dulmage-Mendelsohn matrix decomposition in Python

Image
0 Matlab has a function called dmperm that computes the so-called Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition of a n x n matrix. From wikipedia, the Dulmage–Mendelsohn is a partition of the vertices of a bipartite graph into subsets, with the property that two adjacent vertices belong to the same subset if and only if they are paired with each other in a perfect matching of the graph. Looking both on scipy and numpy, I could not find this function, nor some similar version. Is it possible to implement it using basic linear algebra operations? Any idea if this is implemented in some Python package? python matlab linear-algebra graph-theory matrix-decomposition share | improve this question
