CSS - Trouble With The Header Navigation In Ie

I am trying to get the header image and navigation menus to align in the center. as well as centering the actual menu buttons.

here is my sample: http://blurple.net/design/

Here is stylesheet

Quote:
body {color:#121212; margin:20px 0 0;background:#D3D3D3;} body, p, h1, h2, h3, table, td, th, ul, ol, textarea, input {font-family:Arial, Verdana, Tahoma; font-size:11px; line- height:140%;} /* Class For Headings */ h1 {padding:15px 5px 15px 25px;

Hi,

I have a header div on my page that when the page is scrolled down to the header area, it is pinned at the top (via position:'fixed', and top:0), but the problem is that the content div that sits below it ends up shifting up on top of the header div when I set the position to 'fixed'. How do I keep the content div from shifting up when I pin the header?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
I have a margin or spacing between the header image and the navigation bar. I'm unsure of how to remove it. I want the navigation to be directly underneath the header.

This is the HTML

Code:

<div id="navbar"> 
<ul> 
<li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li> 
<li><a href="horses.html">Horses</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="stallions.html">Stallions</a></li>
<li><a href="mares.html">Mares</a></li>
<li><a href="geldings.html">Geldings</a></li> 
<li><a href="foals.html">Foals</a></li> 
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="showteam.html">Show Team</a></li> 
<li><a href="showresults.html">Show Results</a></li>
<li><a href="youths.html">Youths</a></li> 
<li><a href="sales.html">Sales</a></li> 
<li><a href="contactus.html">Contact Us</a></li> 

</ul> 
</div> 

This is the CSS
Code:

#header {
	
	background:#ddd;
	border-left:1px solid #FFF;
	border-right:1px solid #FFF;
	border-top:1px solid #FFF;
	
}

#navbar {
	font-family: Edwardian Script ITC, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
	font-size:36px;
	width:100%;
	margin-top:0px;
	padding:0px;
	height:63px;
	background-color:#FFF;
	}
	
#navbar li {
	list-style: none;
	float: left; 
	}
	
#navbar li a {
	display: block;
	padding: 7px 8px;
	background-color: white;
	color: black;
	text-decoration: none; 
	}
	
	#navbar li ul {
	display: none; 
	width: 5em; /* Width to help Opera out */
	background-color: white;
}
	
	#navbar li:hover ul {
	display: block;
	position: absolute;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0; }

#navbar li:hover li {
	float: none; }

#navbar li:hover li a {
	background-color: white;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
	color: #000; }

#navbar li li a:hover {
	background-color:#FFC; }

Any help would be appreciated! It's really frustrating me. I've tried looking around other websites for help too.

Hi All,

I am building a site that has the following structure for the navigation;

Code:

<div id="navigation">
    <ul id="navlist">
      <li class="home"><a href="../index.asp" title="home"><span>home</span></a></li>
      <li class="aboutus"><a href="../aboutus.htm" title="aboout us"><span>about us</span></a></li>
      <li class="ourservices"><a href="../ourservices.htm" title="our services"><span>our services</span></a>
        <ul>
          <li class="internationalmail"><a href="ourservices_internationalmail.htm" title="international mail"><span>international mail</span></a></li>
          <li class="worldwidecourier"><a href="ourservices_worldwidecourier.htm" title="worldwide courier"><span>worldwide courier</span></a></li>
          <li class="worldwidefreight"><a href="ourservices_worldwidefreight.htm" title="worldwide freight"><span>worldwide freight</span></a></li>
          <li class="storage"><a href="ourservices_storage.htm" title="storage"><span>storage</span></a></li>
          <li class="publishingservices"><a href="ourservices_publishingservices.htm" title="publishing services"><span>publishing services</span></a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li class="requestquote"><a href="../requestquote.htm" title="request a quote"><span>request a quote</span></a></li>
      <li class="contactus"><a href="../contactus.htm" title="contact us"><span>contact us</span></a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>

The main LI is horizontal, and the containing UL, LI is a vertical dropdown. The seperate CSS file does the image replacements on the <a> and hides the text within the <span>, usual stuff. The nav works great, with the graphic rollovers etc. The rollover, again, standard way of doing it, background: url(<FILE>) no-repeat top left; and the a:hover rollover is a background: bottom left;.

Edit: Just noticed that I can't link to the full site that I have uploaded for preview.

What I want to do, is when the user roll's over any of the items within the sub-navigation, it keeps the main Services navigation link rolled over also. The only way I could think of doing this, and relatively simply, would be to use JavaScript, but wanted to explore any other CSS ways of doing this. For example, is it possible to change a style of another class, from another?

Your help would be much appreciated!

Hey guys I am currently having an issue with a CSS Navigation. I was wondering if anyone was available to help me out.

http://schoolwide.sgajewski.com/menu/

I am currently having an issue with IE 7. It seems to be working in every other browser but the second level of the navigation is offset lower in IE7. The spacing starts off 1 pixel two low and progressively the gap gets wider.

Code:

ul.vertical, ul.vertical li {
	margin:0;
	padding:0;
	list-style-type:none;
	font-size:100%;
	}

ul.vertical {
	position:absolute;
	z-index:1000;
	cursor:default;
	width:180px;
	left:1em;
	top:4.05em;
	}

ul.vertical li {
	position:relative;
	text-align:left;
	cursor:pointer;
	cursor:hand;
	width:180px;
	margin:-1px 0 0 0;
	padding-bottom:0px!important;
	padding-bottom:1px;
	float:left;
	clear:both;
	top:0;
	left:0;
	}

ul.vertical ul {
	z-index:1020;
	cursor:default;
	position:absolute;
	width:197px;
	margin:0 0 0 179px;
	top:-100em;
	left:-1px;
	padding:1px 0 0 0;
	height:0px;
	overflow:hidden;
	}
	
ul.vertical ul li {
	width:197px;
	
	}

ul.vertical ul ul {
	margin: 0 0 0 179px;
	}

@media Screen, Projection { 
	ul.vertical li:hover > ul { top:0; height:auto; overflow:visible; }
	}

ul.vertical a, ul.vertical a:visited {
	display:block;
	cursor:pointer;
	cursor:hand;
	background:url(images/bg.jpg);
	padding:5px 7px;
	font:normal normal bold 0.7em tahoma, verdana, sans-serif;
	color:#008000;
	text-decoration:none;
	letter-spacing:1px;
	}
	
ul.vertical a:hover, ul.vertical a:focus, ul.vertical a.rollover, ul.vertical a.rollover:visited {
	background:url(images/bg_over.jpg);
	color:#806020;
	}

ul.vertical .outtop {background:url(images/bg_over_top.jpg);}
ul.vertical .outbg {background:url(images/bg_over_mid.jpg);}
ul.vertical .outbot {background:url(images/bg_over_bot.jpg);}

ul.vertical ul a,
ul.vertical ul a:hover,
ul.vertical ul a:visited,
ul.vertical ul a:active
ul.vertical ul a:hover, 
ul.vertical ul a:focus, 
ul.vertical ul a.rollover, 
ul.vertical ul a.rollover:visited

{
background-image:none;
}

@media screen, projection {
	* html ul.vertical li {
		display:inline; 
		f\loat:left; 
		background:#ffffff; 
		}
	}
* html ul.vertical li { position:static; }
* html ul.vertical a { position:relative; }
ul[class^="vertical"] ul { display:none; }
ul[class^="vertical"] ul { displa\y:block; }

Any help on why this is offset in IE7 would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I'm new to the forum and not very good with CSS yet. I'm slowly moving from tables to CSS. I set up a sample page to describe the problem I'm having but the forum won't allow me to post the URL here.

I have a vertical CSS "LI" navigation section in the left hand sidebar of this web page and it works perfectly in every Mac browser I try it on (very latest Mac versions of Opera, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Camino, Omniweb, etc.). There's a white, 1-pixel horizontal spacer/separator line between each link in the left sidebar which is supposed to be 220 pixels wide. It is 220 pixels wide on all the Mac browsers I try it on but for some reason, as soon as I try the web page in IE 7 or IE 8, the white horizontal 1-pixel divider line is shorter and ends up being only 195 pixels wide and throws the whole, nice and "even" look off. I don't understand where the 25 pixels are disappearing to in IE 7 and IE 8.

Can anyone offer any insight as to what the fix may be or what I've done wrong? Below is the code I've used to create the navigation.

Thanks so much.

HTML Code:

Code:

<div id="navcontainer">
	<ul id="navlist">
		<li id="active"><a href="#" id="current">Home</A></li>
		<li><a href="#">On To Page 2</A></li>
		<li><a href="#">On To Page 3</A></li>
		<li><a href="#">On To Page 4</A></li>
		<li><a href="#">On To Page 5</A></li>
	</ul>
</div>

CSS Code:

Code:

#navlist  {
	padding-left: 25px;
	margin-left: 0;
	width: 220px;
}
#navlist li  {
	list-style: none;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0.25em;
	border-top: 1px solid white;
}
#navlist li a  {
	background: transparent url(../images/list_off.gif) left center no-repeat;
	padding-left: 15px;
	text-align: left;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #277eb1;
	text-decoration: none;
	line-height: 30px;
}
#navcontainer ul li a:hover  {
	background: transparent url(../images/list_on.gif) left center no-repeat;
	color: #da251c;
}
#navcontainer ul li a#current  {
	background: transparent url(../images/list_active.gif) left center no-repeat;
	color: #999999;
}

How is this navigation done on the top of the page? I looked at the CSS and all the javascript. I can't see how the drop down is created? I tried to replicate it and copied the background images. I can get the menu to show and rollovers work. Just the drop down won't work. http://jmadvertising.com/

Hello.

So I'm trying to make my html more semantic, so I'm trying to avoid divs and spans as much as possible. I'm trying to make an unordered list navigation, but it shows up really choppy in IE7. However, the moment I change it from <ul id="navigation"> to <div id="navigation">, it works perfectly. Just for semantics sake I'd like to see if I could keep the ul working. Here's the html code, it validates xhtml strict so you don't have to worry about that.

Code:

I have not finished styling the rest of the page, I am only concerned with the navigation right now.

I appreciate your time and effort!

I have a nice little vertical navigation block that I would like to use in multiple pages within the same website. I would like to use the nav block without repeating the code, but I can't figure out how to do it. I have put the code in navigation.htm. What do I do next?

I'm pretty new to CSS, but I've managed to put together a website based from a psd, that validates and everything has gone well.

My menu, however, is pretty shoddy. I have everything positioned the way I want it, but what I want to do is convert the lists inside from dropping down to being horizontal parallell to the nav bar itself.

From:
--- --- --- ---

To:
_ _ _
--- --- --- ---



The site is here. Ignore the issues with the absolute positioning; its because of the ads at the top, and it doesn't affect the nav bar.


I am desperatefor some help, it is ridiculous to figure out. Anyone who can help me, I would be crazy grateful. Thanks,

Tom

I have converted this site from HTML to CSS/XML but there is an issue with the navigation. PC's using Firefox and Mac's using IE have the right of 2nd level navigation cut off, while Mac's using Safari does not display 2nd level at all.

The site validates for both CSS and XML.

The url for site is...http://www.forteinformation.com/Ideas/index.shtml

and the style sheet is...http://www.forteinformation.com/Ideas/fortestyle.css

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I've created navigation buttons in Photoshop by making an 818px wide document, spacing out the words, then slicing them up. My navigation division is 818px wide but when I insert the buttons I created, they don't fit. I do not have any borders around them that I can tell.

Why would this happen?


http://www.oharenoise.org/new/2009_news_releases.htm

Can anyone tell me how I can move the navigation bar I'm using below so that it left aligns with the table below it?

You can view the bar he http://oharenoise.org/2010_news_releases-2.htm

I was told that the main nav element has a left: 75 px attribute attached to it but I can't seem to find it, embedded or on the external CSS. Maybe I'm blind?

The CSS external sheet is found he http://oharenoise.org/ONCC_Style_Sheet.css


Thanks,
Rebecca
