4,615 PointsMy select box and button won't dissappear at higher width. Please Help.
// Problem: It looks gross in smaller browswer widths and small devices
//solutions: To hide the text links and swap them out with a more appropiate navigation
//Creat a select and append to menu
var $select = $("<select></select>");
$("#menu").append($select);
//Cycle over menu links
$("#menu a").each(function() {
var $anchor = $(this);
//Create an option
var $option = $("<option></option>");
//Option's value is the href
$option.val($anchor.attr("href"));
//Option's text is the text of the link
$option.text($anchor.text());
//Append option to select
$select.append($option);
});
//Creat a button
var $button = $("<button>Go</button>");
$("#menu").append($button);
//Bind click to button
$button.click(function() {
//Go to select's location
window.location = $select.val();
});
//Deal with selected options depending on current page

18,814 PointsLooks like you just have a couple minor errors in your CSS. These are likely because you've been writing so much jQuery, it's easy to put the ; character in the wrong places for CSS.
@media (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 568px) {
#menu ul {
display:none;
}
} /* You don't need an ending ; here. */
@media (min-width: 568px) {
#menu select {display:none;} /* The ending ; needs to be inside the curly braces. */
#menu button {display:none;} /* Here as well. */
}
That should do it, but let me know if you run into issues still. Happy coding! :)

18,814 Pointshuckleberry - I've noticed that not all of the old markdown seems to work right now, including quotes, image titles, and some nested elements. Bummer. :(
