I have a website using css media queries to detect browser resolution and modify my site accordingly.
I have run into a slight problem with my main navigation menu. There are a number of pages on my site where I would like to have my main navigation hidden on load for mobile resolutions, but displayed on desktop resolutions.
This seems like a simple enough task to accomplish with css, but unfortunately for me, it is not. I am unable to use both display:none; and visibility:hidden; because when my menu detects on load that it is hidden, it sets it's height to 0, and will not change.
Here is a stack overflow page reference:
Setting a div to display:none; using javascript or jquery
Ultimately, I the only option I found that would hide my menu on load, while still allowing the menu to correctly calculate it's height was the following bit of jQuery.
Now, this solution is working for pages that I would like to have the menu initially hidden on load for all screen resolutions. However, I have a number of pages on which I would like to have the menu hidden initially hidden on load for mobile, but displayed on desktop.
I have attempted to recreate this scenario in a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/WRHnL/15/
As you can see in the fiddle, the menu system has big issue with not being displayed on page load. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might accomplish this task?
