Dim the Screen on Menu item Active

Bootstrap 5 Dim the Screen on Menu item Active and Focus on the Dropdown


Dim the screen on menu item active and focus on dropdown in Bootstrap 5

It is smart to plan, once the user activates some dropdown and the rest screen becomes dark to stay user concentrate on the active dropdown. In alternative words: dim the screen on an active hierarchical menu or mega menu. So, a way to darken the remainder of the page behind the dropdown menu? it’s terribly easy.

Steps to dim rest screen on hover or click of a menu
– Create bootstrap navbar with dropdown menu
– Create a span or div component that covers the whole page with dark clear background
– Add styling thereto component to cover visually with opacity:0; or visibility: hidden;
– Now add some javascript operation that executes once the dropdown opens or closes. Check shown.bs.dropdown or hide.bs.dropdown on Bootstrap five documentation.
