Hide dropdown menu on click in CSS

I have a dropdown menu similar to the one here. i need the same behaviour except that the dropdown-content class should hide when the user clicks on any of the item. I am looking for a possible CSS solution for this so that i don't have to write any JS for the same.

I tried different ways, but didn’t get the behaviour i needed due to the specificity. any inputs will be highly appreciated.

To the "hide menu dropdown on click on wordpress css" keywords this page is found in Bing.com, but the answers here aren't relevant, so I came up with the following that works in my case for Elementor's Hello theme, with JQuery:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
  $(".menu-item").click(function() {
    $(".site-navigation-toggle-holder").removeClass("elementor-active");
  });
});

This is not the proper way, though you can achieve what you want by the use of focus-within pseudo attribute.

just need to add the below style.

.dropdown-content:focus-within {
    display:none !important;
}

check below the updated example that you gave as an example.

.dropbtn {
  background-color: #04AA6D;
  color: white;
  padding: 16px;
  font-size: 16px;
  border: none;
}

.dropdown {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
}

.dropdown-content {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
  min-width: 160px;
  box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
  z-index: 1;
}

.dropdown-content:focus-within {
    display:none !important;
}
.dropdown-content a {
  color: black;
  padding: 12px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
}

.dropdown-content a:hover {background-color: #ddd;}

.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {display: block;}

.dropdown:hover .dropbtn {background-color: #3e8e41;}
<h2>Hoverable Dropdown</h2>
<p>Move the mouse over the button to open the dropdown menu.</p>

<div class="dropdown">
  <button class="dropbtn">Dropdown</button>
  <div class="dropdown-content">
    <a href="#">Link 1</a>
    <a href="#">Link 2</a>
    <a href="#">Link 3</a>
  </div>
</div>

just to add to what acharb07 said, simply add a script tag in your HTML doc. Though it isn't generally preferred to write your JS in your HTML, but in your case, it seems about right. your code would be

<script>document.getElementById("dropdown-content-id").style.display = "none";</script>

simple as that.

You should use display: none. Or write it in JS like so:

document.getElementById("dropdown-content-id").style.display = "none";
