Tutorial - Styling A Dropdown Menu

Tips
1

Hi Everyone,

I was just working on a project where I needed to style the dropdown menu and the icon. I wanted to share with the community how I did that.

To summarize:

  1. I added the CSS on the main page HTML header. You can find it when you click on the main group and scroll all the way down.
  2. I used Stackoverflow to seek for information so I didn’t have to re-invent the same wheel.

See screenshot below.

on Internet Explorer it doesn’t work well. Maybe some Bubble experts can point out a solution? The icon positioning is not aligned to the right.

At some point I’ll need to dig deeper into CSS, but just seeing your example is helpful. Thanks, @nocodeventure.
