Example

Dropdown Menu inside a Navigation Bar

Click on the “Dropdown” link to see the dropdown menu.

To create a dropdown menu in a navbar using HTML, you can use the <ul> and <li> elements along with CSS for styling. Here’s an example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <style>
    /* CSS for the dropdown menu */
    .dropdown {
      position: relative;
      display: inline-block;
    }
    
    .dropdown-content {
      display: none;
      position: absolute;
      background-color: #f9f9f9;
      min-width: 160px;
      box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
      z-index: 1;
    }
    
    .dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {
      display: block;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li class="dropdown">
        <a href="#">Services</a>
        <ul class="dropdown-content">
          <li><a href="#">Service 1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Service 2</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Service 3</a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
    </ul>
  </nav>
</body>
</html>

In this example, the “Services” menu item has a dropdown menu with three sub-items: “Service 1,” “Service 2,” and “Service 3.” When the user hovers over the “Services” menu item, the dropdown menu appears.

The CSS part of the code defines the styles for the dropdown menu. The .dropdown class is applied to the parent <li> element of the dropdown menu, and the .dropdown-content class is applied to the <ul> element that contains the sub-items.

Feel free to customize the CSS styles as per your requirements to match your website’s design.
