Question

Every time I click the div that activates/drops down my drop down menu the links are highlighted:

Quite annoying. It’s either a CSS or JQuery issue.. I have a .postHolder class that holds each post that is posted on the page. Now if I click any where on the screen to close the menu then click on the menu open button again the issue is gone. If I go to the next post and try the issue is there until I click off then click on again.

If I refresh the browser the issue is back, starting on the first post. This is quite confusing as it’s not happening in any of my other browsers.

Here is the CSS for the menu:

.postMenu {
    position:absolute;
    display:none;
    padding-bottom:20px;
    background-color:white !important;
    border:1px solid $main-background-color;
    height:163px;
    width:170px;
    top:18px;
    right:2px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0 10px 6px -6px #777;
    -moz-box-shadow: 0 10px 6px -6px #777;
    box-shadow: 0 10px 6px -6px #777;
    color:gray;
    z-index:3000;

        li {

        font-size:12px;
        height:33px;
        background-color:white !important;

            a span {
                float:left;
                width:160px;
                height:33px;
                line-height:33px;
                padding-left:10px;
                color:gray;

                  &:hover {
                    background-color:#4D90FE !important;
                    color:white;
                    //  #DD4B39,#D14836
                    }
            }

            &:hover {
            background-color:#4D90FE;
            color:white;

            }
        }

        .deletePost {
            //position:relative;
            padding-top:0px !important;
            padding-left:0px !important;
            height:39px;
            width:170px;
            text-align:center;
            padding-bottom:7px;
            border-bottom:1px solid #d9d9d9;

                a {

                    span {
                    float:left;
                    padding-left:0px !important;                            
                        height:46px !important;
                        width:170px !important;
                        line-height:46px;
                    }
                }

                a span:hover {
                    background-color:#DD4B39 !important;
                    color:white;
                //  #DD4B39,#D14836
                }
        }

        .reportAbuse {
            border-top:1px solid #d9d9d9;

                a span:hover {
                    background-color:gray !important;;
                }

        }

}

The JQuery incase this is JQuery related:

    $(".microposts").on("click", ".micropostOptions", function() {
        var postMenu = $(this).find('.postMenu');

        if(postMenu.is(':hidden') ){
            $('.postMenu').hide();
            $('.micropostOptions').removeClass("postMenuHoverState");
            postMenu.show();
            $(this).hide().addClass('postMenuHoverState').show(60);

        }else{
            postMenu.hide();
            $(this).removeClass("postMenuHoverState");
        }

    $(document.body).click(function(e) {
        var clickedElement = $(e.target);
        if(clickedElement.is('.micropostOptions:visible')) {
            return;
        }
        $('.postMenu').hide();
        $('.micropostOptions').removeClass("postMenuHoverState");
    });

});

HTML:

   <nav class="micropostOptions">
         <ul class="postMenu">
           <li class="deletePost"><%= link_to content_tag(:span, "Delete post"), m, :method => :delete, :confirm => "Are you sure?", :title => m.content, :class => "message_delete" %>
           </li>
           <li class="disableCommenting"><%= link_to content_tag(:span, "Pause commenting"), "2" %></li>
           <li class="blockCommenter"><%= link_to content_tag(:span, "Block commenter"), "3" %></li>
           <li class="openInNewWindow"><%= link_to content_tag(:span, "Open in new window"), "4" %></li>
           <li class="reportAbuse"><%= link_to content_tag(:span, "Report abuse"), "5" %></li>
         </ul>  
       </nav>

Kind regards

This fixed my issue for now. Well masked it.

span::-moz-selection {
    background: none; /* Firefox */
}
