Bootstrap Case: Adding a Menu
Menus
Most web pages have some kind of a menu.
In HTML, a menu is often defined in an unordered list <ul> (and styled
afterwards), like this:
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a
href="#">Menu 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>
Bootstrap provides two ways to display the menu above: tabs and pills.
Tabs
Tabs are created with <ul class="nav nav-tabs">.
Tip: Also mark the current page with <li class="active">.
The following example creates navigation tabs:
Example
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li
class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>
Tabs With Dropdown Menu
Tabs can also hold dropdown menus.
The following example adds a dropdown menu to "Menu 1":
Example
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li
class="dropdown">
<a
class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">Menu 1
<span class="caret"></span></a>
<ul
class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>
Pills
Pills are created with <ul class="nav nav-pills">. Also mark the current page with
<li class="active">:
Example
<ul class="nav nav-pills">
<li
class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>
Vertical Pills
Pills can also be displayed vertically. Just add the .nav-stacked class.
The following example places the vertical pill menu inside the last column.
So, on a large screen the menu will be displayed to the right. But on a small
screen, the content will automatically adjust itself into a single-column
layout:
Example
<div class="col-md-3">
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-stacked">
<li
class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Pills With Dropdown Menu
Pills can also hold dropdown menus.
The following example adds a dropdown menu to "Menu 1":
Example
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-stacked">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li
class="dropdown">
<a
class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">Menu 1
<span class="caret"></span></a>
<ul
class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>
