I am trying to have a submenu dropdown inside a dropdown, using MaterializeCSS framework. I tried with the following code, but it didn't work.
<!-- this the main dropdown -->
<ul id="MainDropDown" class="dropdown-content">
<li><a href="#" class="dropdown-button" data-beloworigin="true" data-contrainwidth="false" data-gutter="30" data-alignment="right" data-activates="drop1">Dropdown1<span class="right caret">►</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="dropdown-button" data-beloworigin="true" data-contrainwidth="false" data-gutter="30" data-alignment="right" data-activates="drop2">Dropdown2<span class="right caret">►</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="dropdown-button" data-beloworigin="true" data-contrainwidth="false" data-gutter="30" data-alignment="right" data-activates="drop3">Dropdown3<span class="right scaret">►</span></a></li>
</ul>
<ul id="drop1" class="dropdown-content">
<li><a href="#">Create</a></li>
</ul>
<ul id="drop2" class="dropdown-content">
<li><a href="#">Create</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Update</a></li>
</ul>
<ul id="drop3" class="dropdown-content">
<li><a href="#">Create</a></li>
</ul>
I was having the same issue myself. Turns out it's as simple as nesting another dropdown link, setting an appropriate gutter, and making sure the overflow of dropdown-content is set to visible.
Here is a link to the modified jsfiddle linked in Nested dropdowns in materialize
https://jsfiddle.net/fb0c6b5b/
$('.dropdown-button2').dropdown({
inDuration: 300,
outDuration: 225,
constrain_width: false, // Does not change width of dropdown to that of the activator
hover: true, // Activate on hover
gutter: ($('.dropdown-content').width()*3)/2.5 + 5, // Spacing from edge
belowOrigin: false, // Displays dropdown below the button
alignment: 'left' // Displays dropdown with edge aligned to the left of button
}
);
.dropdown-content{
overflow: visible !important;
}
