Shopify themes, liquid, logos, and UX
Hi @JGBowie
You can try adding this code to the theme.liquid file, before </body> tag and check again.
<script>
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
const inlineMenu = document.querySelector(".header__inline-menu");
const detailsItems = inlineMenu.querySelectorAll("details");
detailsItems.forEach(item => {
const ulElement = item.querySelector("ul");
item.addEventListener("mouseover", () => {
item.setAttribute("open", true);
ulElement.addEventListener("mouseleave", () => {
item.removeAttribute("open");
});
item.addEventListener("mouseleave", () => {
item.removeAttribute("open");
});
});
});
});
</script>

Did you save the file? Because I cannot see the code when viewing your site's HTML source.

I deleted it out because it didnt work
Hello @JGBowie
Here is the steps
.header__menu-item:hover .header__submenu {
display: block;
opacity: 1;
visibility: visible;
}
4. You may need to adjust the submenu's default css to set display: none and opacity: 0 so it only appear on hover.
if you'dlike i can guid you with the exact code depending on which menu level you're targeting.
Hello @JGBowie
You can enable a submenu on hover by adding a simple code. Please paste the following code at the end of your header.liquid file and save the changes. After that, the submenu in the header will appear when you hover over the respective item.
<script>
let items = document.querySelector(".header__inline-menu").querySelectorAll("details");
items.forEach(item => {
item.addEventListener("mouseover", () => {
item.setAttribute("open", true);
item.querySelector("ul").addEventListener("mouseleave", () => {
item.removeAttribute("open");
});
item.addEventListener("mouseleave", () => {
item.removeAttribute("open");
});
});
});
</script>
This doesn't stay hovered it closes when you go to click something in menu
