When a user visits a website, the first thing they use is the navigation menu. If the visitor wants to explore the website quickly and efficiently, they can use the navigation menu as a roadmap. To organize a website, a navigation menu is a must. It improves the user experience and keeps things clean. On top of that, it encourages the user to stay there for a longer period of time. To make the navbar modern and interactive, we can consider a CSS dropdown menu on hover. This is a great touch to make it more futuristic. In this blog post, we have provided a dropdown menu snippet that is created using only HTML and CSS. For your convenience, we have provided a video tutorial below. Don’t hesitate to watch it before collecting the source code.

We hope you have watched the above video tutorial about 'CSS Dropdown Menu on Hover'. If it is a simple website, it is okay to have a top-level navbar without a dropdown menu, but it is necessary for larger and more complex websites. Because if there is no dropdown menu on a larger website, the main menu will look cluttered and overwhelming. In this technique, the secondary links will be hidden until the user actually needs them. This way, we can make the layout cleaner and better for the user experience.
In the HTML markup, we have created a <nav> element that contains an unordered list ( <ul> ), which will act as the top-level menu. Inside it, we have a single list item labeled as 'Menu'. If we hover over this item, the dropdown menu will be triggered. The dropdown menu is styled to be fixed to the viewport or the top right corner of the screen. The dropdown menu will remain hidden initially, for which we used the CSS transform property and moved it out of view using the translate(0, -100%) value. We used a transition to smooth out the dropdown effect.
