Popover Menu

What is a popover menu

This is a quick menu that open on click. For menus, we use the three-dot-icon.

This is exactly the same as the navigation menu. The only difference is the popovermenu class.

Basic layout

Popover image example
<div class="popovermenu">
    <ul>
        <li>
            <a href="#" class="icon-details">
                <span>Details</span>
            </a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <button class="icon-details">
                <span>Details</span>
            </button>
        </li>
        <li>
            <button>
                <span class="icon-details"></span>
                <span>Details</span>
            </button>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a>
                <span class="icon-details"></span>
                <span>Details</span>
            </a>
        </li>
    <ul>
</div>

Technical details

  • The only allowed menu items elements are a and button.
  • You can mix between a and button on the same menu (in case of form or direct link) like the example above
  • You need to put the entire menu just after the three dot icon <div><span class="icon-more"></span><div class="popovermenu">...</div></div>
  • You do not need JS, CSS only is ok for positioning. JS is still required to handle the hide/show.
  • Only one ul is allowed.
  • Only one level of menu is allowed.
  • Every entry needs to have its own icon. This greatly improves the UX.
  • The required right distance to the border (or padding, whatever you want to use) of the three-dot icon should be 14px (5 for menu margin and 6 for arrow position)

Alignment

If you want to align your menu, you can add the class to the main popovermenu div.

  • Center: menu-center
  • Left: menu-left
  • Right is by default
