Arrow Indicators on Nav Menu Dropdowns

    I’m working on a site built on the Twentytwelve theme and was wondering how to add down arrows to the menu items that contain sub menus. Without these visual indicators the visitor is not made aware that sub menus exist on those main menu items.

    This omission seems very obvious to me but it appears to have escaped the notice of the developers.

    Does anyone know how to add arrows to the nav bar to indicate when there are sub menu items?

    sounds like you guys are getting a bit fancy trying to recode things just to add a simple arrow….. all i did was just go to MS Word and typed a down arrow character ↓ , copied it and then went to my menu and added it to the menu label and done…. no coding needed. Took me less than a min to do.

    you can see the result is the same as your coding http://www.perfectbath.com

    Am i correct or am i missing something? just trying to think outside the box and do things as simply as possible.

    Manually putting in is not as elegant as automatically detection if has child(dropdown). Also you can’t style the arrow as easily.

    On the semantic side, CSS pseudo content is perfect for this because it doesn’t really count as real content on the page.
