How to make superfish dropdown menu responsive?

Question

I am using superfish dropdown menu with skelton framework. I wanted it to work on mobiles as well. By default its showing the dropdown items but it hover over the items belo

Answer 1

As Ed pointed out it seems problematic to solve all the different superfish/css issues for a responsive menu.

After looking through the options here and elsewhere I found a Pure CSS responsive menu which has been quicker and easier to modify than superfish, and does not have the overheads of jquery or javascript. It also has second level menus.

I checked the demo with screenfly to check responsiveness and mobile layout before using it. The CSSscript.com version (link above) gives a horizontal responsive layout for mobiles, unlike the codepen demo page.

The code is in a single HTML file which you can easily split into a linked CSS file, only 2 media queries manage the responsive changes and even then only with minimal changes. The '+' symbols can be deleted without issues.

Only one tiny downside: the first link downloads a HTML has a javascript at the bottom adding obvious google analytics tracking, easily removed and not on codepen.
