Add a responsive dropdown menu To Your Blog on blogger




This responsive dropdown menu will definitely make your blog look stylish and professional, to say the least.
Initially, I had a horizontal menu display which kind of took a good amount of space in my blog's mobile view.
Originally gotten from mybloggerlab, I only made minor tweaks by adding the social bar and search box as well as making it sticky.
Below are the features of this menu
Responsive - this menu is very responsive  and doesn't take much space in your blog. If you use the default blogger template, a switch between desktop and menu view leaves you with the desktop and mobile menu respectively.
Light weight - this menu for the health of your blog is light wight and loads instantly with your blog.
Note; This dropdown menu doesn't have sub-menu thus not suitable for those in search of a menu bar with sub-menu and you may have to continue your search!
All the same, this menu is perfect!

/*** Dropdown Menu***/
#nav-wrapper {
 margin:0 auto;
 position: fixed;
 width:100%;
 float: none !important;
     top: 0px;
     padding-bottom: 5px;
     z-index: 1;
     height: 20px;
     border-bottom: 1px solid #fafafa;
}
#nav-trigger {
    display: none;
    text-align: left;
}
#nav-trigger span {
    display: block;
    background-color: #000;
    cursor: pointer;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    padding: 0 25px;
    color: #EEE;
    line-height: 50px;
}
nav#nav-mobile {
    margin: 0px;
}
nav {
    margin-bottom: 30px;
}
#nav-main {
 background-color: #000;
    float: left;
    width: 100% !important;
}
#nav-main ul {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    text-align: left;
}
#nav-main li {
    display: inline-block;
    float: left;
    ont-family: '
    Open Sans'
    , sans-serif;
}
#nav-main li:last-child {
    border-right: none;
}
#nav-main a {
    padding: 0 25px;
    color: #EEE;
    line-height: 67px;
    display: block;
}
#nav-main a:hover {
    background-color: #edbf9d;
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #fff;
}
#nav-mobile {
    position: relative;
    display: none;
}
#nav-mobile ul {
    display: none;
    list-style-type: none;
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    text-align: center;
    background-color: #000;
    z-index: 10;
    padding: 0px;
    border-bottom: solid 1px #171717;
}
nav#nav-mobile li:last-child {
    border-bottom: none;
}
nav#nav-mobile ul {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}
nav#nav-mobile a {
    display: block;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 10px 0px;
    text-decoration: none;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #3a3a3a;
    text-align: left;
}
nav#nav-mobile a:hover {
    background-color: #111;
    color: #fff;
}
nav#nav-mobile li {
    display: block;
}

nav#nav-mobile {
    display: none;
}

@media all and (max-width: 900px) {
    #nav-trigger {
        display: block;
    }
    #nav-main {
        display: none!important;
    }
    nav#nav-mobile {
        display: block;
    }
}
@media screen and (max-width : 699px) {
#nav-wrapper {
 width: 100%;
margin : 0em;
padding: 0px;
}
}

You can make some major changes by replacing the #000 background-color with your desired colour. This will change the look and feel of your menu bar.

Step 2- Adding the HTML code
To add the menu, go to the html of your theme and search for </header> now add the html code below immediately after/below it for better results, you can as well search for <header> and place the code below before/above it if you want your menu list to appear before your header.

<div id='nav-wrapper'>
<nav id='nav-main'>
    <ul>
    <li><a class='homer' href='#'><i class='fa fa-home'/> HOME</a>
    </li>
<li><a href='/p/about.html'>About</a>
</li>
<li><a href='/p/contact.html'>Contact</a></li>
<li><a href='/p/copyright.html'>Copyright</a></li>
<li><a href='/p/privacy.html'>Privacy Policy</a></li>
<li><a href='/p/disclcoder.html'>Disclaimer</a></li>
<li><a href='/p/terms.html'>Terms</a></li>  
  </ul>
</nav>
<div id='nav-trigger'>
    <span><i class='fa fa-list fa-2x'/></span>
</div>
<nav id='nav-mobile'/> 
</div>

Please replace page links with the correct links in your blog if necessary. You can add more links by
editing and pasting this <li><a href='LINK HERE'>LINK TITLE</a></li> below </ul>


Step 3- Adding the JavaScript code
Now search for </body> and paste the code below just above it.

<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
$undefineddocument).readyundefinedfunctionundefined){
    $undefined"#nav-mobile").htmlundefined$undefined"#nav-main").htmlundefined));
    $undefined"#nav-trigger span").clickundefinedfunctionundefined){
        if undefined$undefined"nav#nav-mobile ul").hasClassundefined"expanded")) {
            $undefined"nav#nav-mobile ul.expanded").removeClassundefined"expanded").slideUpundefined250);
            $undefinedthis).removeClassundefined"open");
        } else {
            $undefined"nav#nav-mobile ul").addClassundefined"expanded").slideDownundefined250);
            $undefinedthis).addClassundefined"open");
        }
    });
});
//]]>
</script>
And that's it...
