Prerequisite:

Header page

Stylesheet

Time To Read: Max 1 min

Time To Embed: Max 2 min

 

The tip I'm sharing with you is most common and basic. You can add the dropdown link with the sub-links in that and you won't have to add the JS to toggle the link.

Let's embed in Copenhagen Theme.

 

I. Copy the below HTML code and paste into your header.hbs file.

  <div class="dropdown dropdown-link-wrapper">
        <button class="dropdown-toggle">
            <span>Dropdown Link</span>
            <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="12" height="12" focusable="false" viewBox="0 0 12 12" class="dropdown-chevron-icon" aria-hidden="true">
              <path fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-linecap="round" d="M3 4.5l2.6 2.6c.2.2.5.2.7 0L9 4.5"></path>
            </svg>
        </button>
        <div class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
          <a  href="#">Link 1</a>
          <a  href="#">Link 2</a>
          <a  href="#">Link 3</a>
          <a  href="#">Link 4</a>
          <a  href="#">Link 5</a>
          <a  href="#">Link 6</a>
          <a  href="#">Link 7</a>
          <a  href="#">Link 8</a>
        </div>
      </div>

 

Screenshot for the same:

 

Note: There are # inside href under the anchor tag, remove # and add you external webpage's URL.

 

II. Copy the below CSS code and paste it into your style.css file.

.dropdown.dropdown-link-wrapper {
display: inline-block;
}

.dropdown.dropdown-link-wrapper .dropdown-menu {
padding: 5px 10px;
}

.dropdown.dropdown-link-wrapper .dropdown-menu a{
display: block;
}

 

Screenshot for the same:

 

III. Output is - Dropdown Link is a custom link that's working without JS.

 

When you click on it, dropdown list would be open with the sub-links.

For Read Only:

Thank You

  Hi Rash, 

  Add the HTML code just above the {{# if signed_in}} helper on header.hbs file, see in the given screenshot:

   

  <div class="dropdown dropdown-link-wrapper">
          <button class="dropdown-toggle">
              <span>Dropdown Link</span>
              <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="12" height="12" focusable="false" viewBox="0 0 12 12" class="dropdown-chevron-icon" aria-hidden="true">
                <path fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-linecap="round" d="M3 4.5l2.6 2.6c.2.2.5.2.7 0L9 4.5"></path>
              </svg>
          </button>
          <div class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
            <a  href="#">Link 1</a>
            <a  href="#">Link 2</a>
            <a  href="#">Link 3</a>
            <a  href="#">Link 4</a>
            <a  href="#">Link 5</a>
            <a  href="#">Link 6</a>
            <a  href="#">Link 7</a>
            <a  href="#">Link 8</a>
          </div>
        </div>
  
  
  
  

   

   

   

   

   

   

  Add the CSS code at the bottom of stylesheet:

  .dropdown.dropdown-link-wrapper {
  display: inline-block;
  }
  
  .dropdown.dropdown-link-wrapper .dropdown-menu {
  padding: 5px 10px;
  }
  
  .dropdown.dropdown-link-wrapper .dropdown-menu a{
  display: block;
  }
  
  
  
  

   

  Try this and let me know:)

  Thanks

  Hello Thank you for your reply. I did the same as you have shown above but when I click on dropdown, the options in the dropdown does not appear 😢. 
  Is there a way where I can get codes for other classes which are mentioned in html code?
