Mega menu components

Mega menu is a group of custom navbar components that uses slightly modified BS dropdown markup and native styling. Basically dropdown menu may contain any component - text blocks, lists, galleries, tabs, forms, tables, accordion, panels, buttons etc. However since default dropdown menu closes itself on first click, some extra js code is needed to stop propagation. In this case dropdown toggle inside dropdown menu doesn't work by default and needs additional modifications. See the table with necessary classes and description below.

Menu and content options

All mega dropdowns support additional options for menu itself and content inside - menu header, menu footer, block titles, custom colors for menu's list background and menu borders, or its components. Different types of lists support all components and options available for basic dropdown menu component, such as labels, badges, switches, icons, headers etc. Custom background colors available only for simple dropdown menu.

<!-- Dropdown menu with heading -->
<div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-content">

	<div class="dropdown-content-heading">

			<li><a href="#"><i class="icon-menu7"></i></a></li>
		</ul>
	</div>

Mega menu grid

Mega menu component supports a responsive, mobile first fluid grid system that appropriately scales up to 12 columns as the device or viewport size increases. Using a single set of .col-md-* grid classes, you can create a basic grid system that starts out stacked on mobile devices and tablet devices (the extra small to small range) before becoming horizontal on desktop (medium) devices. Place grid columns in any .row inside mega menu dropdown.

Example menu

Example markup:

<!-- Dropdown menu grid -->
<div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-content">
	<div class="dropdown-content-body">
		<div class="row">
			<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6">First column content</div>
			<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6">Second column content</div>
			<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6">Third column content</div>
			<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6">Fourth column content</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>
<!-- /dropdown menu grid -->
Mega menu classes
