I am trying to make a custom menu on mobile for my forum. In fact, this is a menu that someone else has on his forum and I asked for his codes but something is missing, don’t know what! Probably in JS…

This is what it supposed to be :

Code in `</head>` :

```
<script>
function click_outside(selector){
  $(selector).on('click', function(e) {
    e.stopPropagation();
  });
  console.log("Click Outside initialized for "+selector);
  $('html').click(function(event) {

    if($(selector).hasClass("active")){
      console.log("clicked outside");
     $(selector).fadeOut(200, function() {
              $(selector).removeClass("active");
          });
      }
  });
}

  $('#mobile-menu').addClass("visible");
  $('html').click(function(event) {
    if ($('.background').hasClass("active")){
      $("#mobile-menu").toggleClass("active");
      $('.background').toggleClass("active");
      $('.dropdown').toggleClass("active");
      $('body').toggleClass("overflowMobile");
    }
  });

  $('.background').click(function(event){
      event.stopPropagation();
  });

  $('#mobile-menu').click(function(event){
    $(this).toggleClass("active");
    $('.background').toggleClass("active");
    $('body').toggleClass("overflowMobile");
    event.stopPropagation();
  });

  $(function() {
    $('#menu a[href^="/' + location.pathname.split("/")[1] + '"]').addClass("active");
  });
</script>

```

Are you relying on Bootstrap magic? i.e.  
`<div class="col-md-12">`

AFAIK, Discourse does not have Bootstrap so those class attribute values are superfluous and if you are expecting them to get a particular style applied they won’t.

</div>

Focusing on the `</head>` section here:

Wrapping the code in a `$( document ).ready()` function made it work for me:

 ![5f161d22-a513-43cf-83ca-ced128b46d36](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/1/2/12682e92ee31a32cbfe49fbb09e0c078ecc1740f.gif)

Here’s what `</head>` code for that looks like:

```plaintext
<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.18">

$(document).ready(function() {
	function click_outside(selector) {
		$(selector).on("click", function(e) {
			e.stopPropagation();
		});
		console.log("Click Outside initialized for " + selector);
		$("html").click(function(event) {
			if ($(selector).hasClass("active")) {
				console.log("clicked outside");
				$(selector).fadeOut(200, function() {
					$(selector).removeClass("active");
				});
			}
		});
	}

	$("#mobile-menu").addClass("visible");
	$("html").click(function(event) {
		if ($(".background").hasClass("active")) {
			$("#mobile-menu").toggleClass("active");
			$(".background").toggleClass("active");
			$(".dropdown").toggleClass("active");
			$("body").toggleClass("overflowMobile");
		}
	});

	$(".background").click(function(event) {
		event.stopPropagation();
	});

	$("#mobile-menu").click(function(event) {
		$(this).toggleClass("active");
		$(".background").toggleClass("active");
		$("body").toggleClass("overflowMobile");
		event.stopPropagation();
	});

	$(function() {
		$('#menu a[href^="/' + location.pathname.split("/")[1] + '"]').addClass(
			"active"
		);
	});
});

</script>

```

You have to figure out what `selector` actually is to make the click outside function work as well.

> How could you position a menu like that on to the bottom right

On small screens, there wouldn’t be much difference because the button / menu is centered,

On tablets you would use the stuff from above but just flip the `left` properties to `right`

If you are not sure what I mean, you can also just add this at the bottom of the code above:

```plaintext
#mobile-menu {
	left: unset;
	right: 20px;

	&:hover {
		left: unset;
		right: 15px;
	}
}
@media (min-width: 769px) {
	.background {
		left: unset;
		right: 0;

		&.active {
			left: unset;
			right: 15px;

		}
	}
}

```

To get this:

> [@Adam\_Adam](#):

> and have it a little transparent

You can use an RGBA color as the background for the class `background` like so:

```plaintext
.background {
    background-color: rgba(255,255,255, .7);
}

```
