转贴一篇，jQuery实现的Twitter/Facebook样式的下拉菜单，正好要用

Twitter does some great stuff with JavaScript. What I really appreciate about what they do is that there aren’t any epic JS functionalities — they’re all simple touches. One of those simple touches is the “Login” dropdown on their homepage. I’ve taken some time to duplicate that functionality with jQuery.

A series of DIVS wrapping a link (the dropdown “trigger”) and a DIV containing the menu items.

There’s a lot of CSS involved but most of it is simple visual styling as opposed to styling for JavaScript’s sake. Do, however, note where relative and absolute positioning is used. The outermost DIV may be positioned absolutely if you’d like. Also note that I’m not doing anything to accommodate for rounded corners in IE — I recommend DD_Roundies for that.

The jQuery JavaScript

$(document).ready(function() {
/* for keeping track of what's "open" */
var activeClass = 'dropdown-active', showingDropdown, showingMenu, showingParent;
/* hides the current menu */
var hideMenu = function() {
if(showingDropdown) {
showingDropdown.removeClass(activeClass);
showingMenu.hide();
}
};

/* recurse through dropdown menus */
$('.dropdown').each(function() {
/* track elements: menu, parent */
var dropdown = $(this);
var menu = dropdown.next('div.dropdown-menu'), parent = dropdown.parent();
/* function that shows THIS menu */
var showMenu = function() {
hideMenu();
showingDropdown = dropdown.addClass('dropdown-active');
showingMenu = menu.show();
showingParent = parent;
};
/* function to show menu when clicked */
dropdown.bind('click',function(e) {
if(e) e.stopPropagation();
if(e) e.preventDefault();
showMenu();
});
/* function to show menu when someone tabs to the box */
dropdown.bind('focus',function() {
showMenu();
});
});

/* hide when clicked outside */
$(document.body).bind('click',function(e) {
if(showingParent) {
var parentElement = showingParent[0];
if(!$.contains(parentElement,e.target) || !parentElement == e.target) {
hideMenu();
}
}
});
});

 
$(document).ready(function() {

  /* for keeping track of what's "open" */

  var activeClass = 'dropdown-active', showingDropdown, showingMenu, showingParent;

  /* hides the current menu */

  var hideMenu = function() {

    if(showingDropdown) {

      showingDropdown.removeClass(activeClass);

      showingMenu.hide();

    }

  };

 

  /* recurse through dropdown menus */

  $('.dropdown').each(function() {

    /* track elements: menu, parent */

    var dropdown = $(this);

    var menu = dropdown.next('div.dropdown-menu'), parent = dropdown.parent();

    /* function that shows THIS menu */

    var showMenu = function() {

      hideMenu();

      showingDropdown = dropdown.addClass('dropdown-active');

      showingMenu = menu.show();

      showingParent = parent;

    };

    /* function to show menu when clicked */

    dropdown.bind('click',function(e) {

      if(e) e.stopPropagation();

      if(e) e.preventDefault();

      showMenu();

    });

    /* function to show menu when someone tabs to the box */

    dropdown.bind('focus',function() {

      showMenu();

    });

  });

 

  /* hide when clicked outside */

  $(document.body).bind('click',function(e) {

    if(showingParent) {

      var parentElement = showingParent[0];

      if(!$.contains(parentElement,e.target) || !parentElement == e.target) {

        hideMenu();

      }

    }

  });

});

I’ve commented to the code to illustrate what each block does. In a nutshell:

I create placeholder variables which will keep track of the current menu, dropdown, and parent for the opened menu. This functionality is only included because I don’t want more than one menu to be open at a time.

I create a function that hides the current menu — this can be used from anywhere within the closure.

I cycle through each dropdown and add events to relevant elements to show and hide menus.

I add an event to the body to close the current menu if the user clicks outside of the menu.

That’s it!
