Dropdown content

While the dropdown-item can be used as an anchor link <a>, you can also use a <div> and insert almost any type of content.

<div class="dropdown is-active">
  <div class="dropdown-trigger">
    <a class="button is-info">
      <span>Content</span>
      <span class="icon is-small">
        <i class="fa fa-angle-down"></i>
      </span>
    </a>
  </div>
  <div class="dropdown-menu">
    <div class="dropdown-content">
      <div class="dropdown-item">
        <p>You can insert <strong>any type of content</strong> within the dropdown menu.</p>
      </div>
      <hr class="dropdown-divider">
      <div class="dropdown-item">
        <p>You simply need to use a <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> instead.</p>
      </div>
      <hr class="dropdown-divider">
      <a class="dropdown-item">
        This is a link
      </a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Hoverable or Toggable

The dropdown component has 2 additional modifiers

is-hoverable: the dropdown will show up when hovering the dropdown-trigger
is-active: the dropdown will show up all the time

While the CSS :hover implementation works perfectly, the is-active class is available for users who want to control the display of the dropdown with JavaScript.

<div class="dropdown">
  <div class="dropdown-trigger">
    <a class="button is-primary">
      <span>Click me</span>
      <span class="icon is-small">
        <i class="fa fa-angle-down"></i>
      </span>
    </a>
  </div>
  <div class="dropdown-menu">
    <div class="dropdown-content">
      <a class="dropdown-item">
