Menu that open by itself after clicking on the link of a parent category





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

When I click on parent category, the page load but the menu re-open if the pointer of the mouse is still present.

          This would be a great question for https://ux.stackexchange.com/, they provide some really good and often well researched and data-driven answers to this kind of thing.



          But quickly what comes to mind, depending on how much control you have over the theme:




          • Wait for x seconds after page load to allow the menu to open

          • Wait for some amount of mouse movement before allowing the menu hover effects to work (probably the length of one of the larger menu items)

          • Wait some small amount to create the hover effect (looks like the menu already has a small delay with animation, any more might annoy users)

          • Make menu open when the item is clicked instead, include a nested sub menu item to replace the parent link.


          Most of these would require a short delay after page load. You can use an overlay over the menu or add a class to the menu that enables the css to show the dropdown. I won't go into those details and assume that part you can figure out, but I'm happy to help if not... let me know.



          Edit - want to add that the last idea, the click option, is my personal preference.

          • I am a little lost, on a lot of site the submenu does not re-open after I click into a category. It's more user friendly. I have a low level, it's been 3 months that I seek a solution but without success. What should I change? Is this an element of the CSS file? or something of PHTML? I would like to : if cursor enter in menu -> display submenu if cursor is already in menu at load time -> do not display submenu
