MetisMenue does not collapse well on mobile view SB Admin 2 - menu

I use the "SB Admin 2" Theme for a project.
The integratet Metis Menu works very well on desktop, also on tablet.
But when I visit the page with my phone, the menu doesn't hide completely.
Only when I scroll the page.
You can visit https://blackrockdigital.github.io/startbootstrap-sb-admin-2/pages/index.html to test ist.
If you shrink the browser as far as its like a mobile screen, the menu does not hide.
I tried to do it on the bottom of my index.html file with $('#side-menu').metisMenu('collapse'); but it does not work. This is also defined in the sb-admin-2.js file. But it doenst work either.
Can you help me to get the menu hide completly, even on mobile devices?

Try downgrading the JQuery version to 2.1.3:
https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.3.min.js
There are issues with metismenu with newer Jquery versions:
https://github.com/onokumus/metismenu/issues/128

You can do this with hiding it with css only
.navbar-top-links {
display: none
}
Or if you don't want to hide it always only on button click. Create a new button with these attributes before your current unordered list (ul)
<button type="button" class="collapse-2" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse2" aria-expanded="true">
And replace this code
<ul class="nav navbar-top-links navbar-right">
With this code
<ul class="nav navbar-top-links navbar-right navbar-expand-sm navbar-collapse panel-collapse collapse" id="collapse2">
I managed to get it working like this only you have to style the button and place it in the correct position.

HREF target='_blank' does not work in Chrome 79

Using simple HTML code, no JavaScript, nothing fancy, I use this HREF
Click here
Clicking on the link in IE, FireFox, Edge does open a new tab for https://www.example.com on click. In Chrome (version 79), the click just redisplays the current page.
This happens on Chrome desktop and phone (Android). There are no add-ins to my installation of Chrome; no popup or ad blocking installed.
Why doesn't Chrome open a new tab when target="_blank" is used? Thanks.
Added
The issue seems to be with an HREF being inside a FORM element. The FORM element is as follows:
<form action='' method='post'>
An HREF with target="_blank" outside the FORM element works properly. Just not inside the FORM element.
But still puzzled as to why that would be the case...and for a workaround or solution.
Added more - plus code
There's a button inside the form, and the button contains an image, and the link in the button will not open up a new tab.
Simple form with the button
<form action='' method='post'>
<p>inside the form</p>
<p><button><img src="https://via.placeholder.com/150 " width="24" height="24" class='button_img' alt='delete' /> that's a button</button></p>
<p><button>that's a button </button></p>
</form>
So, with even further testing, the click to open a new tab won't work in Chrome when the HREF is wrapped around an button with an image inside a form. But works in FireFox and Edge.
Why?
There are four image/buttons inside the form. The fourth one is the HREF/blank. Items 1-2-3 are form submittals; values need to be passed to the form processing page. The 4th item doesn't need to be processed by the form, but it is inside the form so that all four items will be on the same line. If I place the 4th (HREF/blank) outside of the form, then the 4th item is wrapped around to the next line.
a
The <button> tag cannot be opened in a new tab the same way an <a> does.
You can use this instead:
<p>
<button onClick="window.open('https://www.bklnk.com/B004RVZRL0');">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/150 " width="24" height="24" class='button_img' alt='delete' />
that's a button
</button>
</p>

Selenium automation - Dropdown on hover does not work

I am developing an automation script and a part of it requires me to hover over a navigation bar to display a dropdown menu. The script is written using NodeJS and the browser used is Internet Explorer.
Navigation source code
...
<ul class=navigation " data-dojo-attach-point="nonmMenu ">
<li class= "dropdown ">
<i class="fa fa-clipboard nav-icon " aria-hidden="true "></i><span>Accounts</span>
<div class='fulldrop i3">..</div>
</li>
</ul>
...
NodeJS code:
let xPathButton = "//span[text()='Accounts']";
//Find button to hover over
let buttonWithDropDown = driver.findElement(By.xpath(xPathButton));
//Hover
driver.actions().mouseMove(buttonWithDropDown).perform();
However, this does not work. The end goal is to click a link once the dropdown menu appears, which I have tried doing but as the element is not visible I get the exception ElementNotInteractableError: Cannot click on element. I would appreciate some pointers in the right direction to sort this out.
Update:
Been looking at this a bit more; Could the aria-hidden attribute in the anchor tag be causing the selenium driver to not detect the element?
Please note that changing the browser is not an option.
Try to hover over an a or li element. Also you can try click:
By.xpath("//a[span[.='Accounts']]")
By.xpath("//li[.//span[.='Accounts']]")
You can try open menu without opening menu with javascript:
executeJavaScript("arguments[0].click();", yourDropdownMenuElement);

VoiceOver: How to prevent users from accessing objects outside the menu?

If you visit www.arbetsformedlingen.se from a mobile, you will find a menu.
If you open that menu, you can only access items within that menu since tapping outside of the menu will close the menu.
If you for some reason are using a keyboard, you cannot tab out of
that menu.
However, visitors who uses the screen reader VoiceOver in IOS can simply move out of that menu by using the swipe left/right gestures to access the previous/next object in the DOM.
Question: Is there some way to prevent those users to access objects outside of the menu when the menu is visible?
An unsuitable solution due to the CMS would be to place the main content and the menu on the same node level, like in the simplified code below:
<body>
<div class=”maincontent” aria-hidden=”false”>
// Main content.
</div>
<div class=”mobilemenu” aria-hidden=”true” style="display:none">
// Menu.
</div>
</body>
When the menu is opened, the aria-hidden and display:none are toggled in order to just show the page contents or the menu.
Another unsuitable solution would be to toggle aria-hidden to every other object when the menu is opened, but that is impossible due to performance issues.
So, any piece of advice, thoughts etc are very welcome!!!
Using HTML5, you can set the "tab-index" to positive numbers on the elements within the menu. This will set focus to those elements. `
<div class="menu-container">
<div class="menu">
<div tabindex="1">Menu Item 1</div>
<div tabindex="2">Menu Item 2</div>
<div tabindex="2">Menu Item 3</div>
</div>
</div>
This may not be the best solution depending on what your trying to accomplish and what your code structure looks like.
You'll want to be sure to use the "tab-index" attribute correctly as to not break accessibility.

Ionic Framework: Left and Right sidemenus disappear on navigation

I'm trying to create an ionic app which has a left and right sidemenu, but I'm finding that the side-menu icons (and the ability to swipe left or right to open them) is disappearing when I try to navigate. I'm obviously doing something wrong, but I can't see what it is.
see here ... http://plnkr.co/NpqmVT ... for plunker which demonstrates the problem. To replicate the bug simply click on the 'click to view details' button.
My main user interface (I'm guessing this is where I'm doing something wrong) looks like this...
<ion-side-menu-content>
<ion-nav-bar class="bar-positive">
<ion-nav-buttons side="left">
<button class="button button-icon button-clear ion-navicon" menu-toggle="left">
</button>
</ion-nav-buttons>
<ion-nav-buttons side="right">
<button class="button button-icon button-clear ion-navicon" menu-toggle="right">
</button>
</ion-nav-buttons>
</ion-nav-bar>
<ion-nav-view name="centre-panel"></ion-nav-view>
</ion-side-menu-content>
<ion-side-menu side="left">
<ion-header-bar class="bar-dark">
<h1 class="title">Main Menu</h1>
</ion-header-bar>
<ion-content>
<ion-list>
<ion-item ui-sref="ui.page1" nav-clear menu-close >Page 1</ion-item>
<ion-item ui-sref="ui.page2" nav-clear menu-close >Page 2</ion-item>
</ion-list>
</ion-content>
</ion-side-menu>
<ion-side-menu side="right">
<ion-header-bar class="bar-dark">
<h1 class="title">Right Menu</h1>
</ion-header-bar>
<ion-nav-view name="right-panel"></ion-nav-view>
</ion-side-menu>
</ion-side-menus>
All the routes, etc can be found in the plunkr (http://plnkr.co/NpqmVT)
Thanks for any help you can offer.
just faced the same problem and found a solution - add this directive to the ion-side menus:
<ion-side-menus enable-menu-with-back-views="true">

watir issue with displaying new dropdown menu

manually clicking on tab(anchor tag) its displaying drop down menu(unordered list) with watir element is locating but drop down menu is not displaying
HTML
<ul>
<li id="NetworkAnalysisTabPanel__ext-comp-1038" class=" x-tab-strip-menuable x-tab-strip-active ">
<a class="x-tab-strip-close" onclick="return false;"></a>
<a class="x-tab-strip-menu" onclick="return false;"></a>
<a></a>
<a class="x-tab-right" onclick="return false;" href=""></a>
</li>
</ul>
Tried the following line of code to click on the tab
$ff.div(:id,"NetworkAnalysisTabPanel").div(:index,1).div(:index,1).ul(:index,1).li(:index,1).link(:index,2).fire_event("onClick")
I am using watir 1.6.6 version
Firstly since your HTML sample that you provided does not include the element you are using in the command you attmepted, it's hard to know where that might be going wrong. Secondly since the code you provided does have a div with a unique ID present, why not start there instead of with an outer container.
I think the problem is that you are using
.fire_event("onCLick")
However the code is monitoring for an event named "onclick" (all lower case)
Try using
.fire_event("onclick")
or if you have not already, perhaps just
.click
and see if that works for you
Also, I'd seriously recommend you upgrade to a more current version of Watir.. 1.6.6 is pretty behind the times.
Update: that html code is starting to look very familiar to me, if this is the same basic control from the other two questions you've posted so far, then try firing the 'onmousedown' event against the element that invokes the menu and see if that works
