How this works

The dropdown lives inside a navbar and opens on :hover or :focus-within, so both mouse and keyboard users can reach it. The panel animates from opacity:0 and translateY(-8px) scale(.97) to rest with a spring-like cubic-bezier, transform-origin pinned to the top-right so it unfolds from the trigger.

Content is structured like a real product menu: profile summary, an active-plan chip, grouped links and a separated sign-out. pointer-events flip with the open state so the hidden panel never blocks clicks, and the caret rotates to signal state.

Make it yours

  • Rebrand via the logo and avatar gradients and the indigo accent.
  • Change the open animation with the transform values and cubic-bezier on the dropdown.
  • Edit the plan chip colour to reflect tier (e.g. amber for trial).
  • Reposition the panel by adjusting its top/right and transform-origin.
  • Add a keyboard shortcut hint row at the bottom of the menu for power users.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Use :focus-within alongside :hover so keyboard users can open the menu.
  • Toggle pointer-events with the open state or the invisible panel intercepts clicks on what's beneath it.
  • Hover menus can be fiddly on touch; a real app should add a click/tap toggle for mobile.

Floor set by backdrop-filter as this demo is written. The core technique itself goes back further — Chrome 49+.

:focus-within (Chrome 60+/Safari 10.1+) improves keyboard access; hover works everywhere.
