Materialize CSS provides dropdown facility. It provides several CSS classes to make ul element as a dropdown and add the id of the ul element to the data-activates attribute of the button or anchor element.
Following is the list of classes and their effects:
| Index | Class name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1) | dropdown-content | It is used to identify ul as a materialize dropdown component. It is required for ul element. |
| 2) | data-activates | It is used to specify id of the dropdown ul element. |
How to use Dropdown?
To add a dropdown list to any button, you must ensure that the data-activates attribute matches the id in the <ul> tag. You can add a divider with the <li class=”divider”></li> tag. You can also add icons. Just add the icon inside the anchor tag.
Example
Let’s take an example to demonstrate dropdown:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
