Doing some work with the site this week

Hi Casey,

I’m on my laptop now and I had a quick look at the navigation menus, whilst having the Chrome Developer Tools open.

I can recreate the problems as follows in Chrome, on my laptop (Not just Chrome on Android)

Step 1 Login,
Step 2 Mouse over a drop down say, “Taught By” ; drop down menu listing teachers names appears.
Step 3 Click on the Text “Taught By”; drop down menu disappears
Step 4 Click on the Text “Taught By” again drop down menu does not appear.

So this emulates the issue on Chrome on Android and in a nutshell if you implement an onClick event to show/hide the drop down menus I think it will work better on both on touch based devices and mouse driven ones.

A quick google leads to the following discussion https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/input-dev/LJJtFVxi9aI

The last post on this discussion points out that relying on mouseOver events for navigation has a variety of limitations even outside what we have encountered here.

Hope this helps!

Rob

Hi, Rob. Great info and suggestion. Clearly, this is an area in which you know your onions. We have an updated template to install, and if that doesn’t do the trick, I’ll research the google topic thread and do some custom coding in our child theme. Thx again, sir!
