CSS - Dropdown Menu Part Ii. Ie Compatibility!
Hi and thanks for the help so far Kravvitz. I checked my menu out on IE and got the following results (see screen captures below).
You can probably see the element doesn't seem to go to the edge of the dropdown. Because of this the next ul level is appearing right beside the highlighted area (as it would normally), but since it isn't going to the end of the 'row' it is resulting in overlapping! Is there a way to make this work out in IE as well that you could recommend? Thanks. Similar TutorialsI have a drop down menu that is working fine in FF 3.5 but not in IE 7. Will you please have a look at it and help me find out where the conflict is? I am thinking it is a CSS issue but it may also be a javascript issue. The menu is he http://bit.ly/42iVkG and the menu script I used is he http://bit.ly/4pvcXj Thank you. Good morning I can't seem to get the footer menu on my site (philipus.com) appear like I want it (it's Stu Nicholl's Skeleton Up menu). These are the problems. 1. The menu items (Start, Galleries etc) are all pushed to the left. I tried text-align: center in the #nav, li and ul but it doesn't work. How can I center them? 2. A border is defined in #nav ul which makes it appear also around the Galleries and Wallpapers pop-up menus. How can I ensure that it only appears around the pop-up menus? 3. The pop-up menu above the Galleries link isn't centered, but the pop-up above the Wallpapers links seems to be. Why is this and how can I ensure both are centered? 4. In IE, the pop-up menu items move to the left when the cursor hovers over them. How do I prevent this? 5. How can I make the pop-up menus a little bit "sticky", such that they allow you to slowly move the cursor up to them? Currently one has to move the cursor quickly to the pop-up menu otherwise it disappears. Does this have to do with the pop-up menus not overlapping a few pixels with the main menu? 6. I noticed when placing the menu in the middle of the page that the copyright text below the menu moved to the right. How can I ensure that the copyright text isn't affected by the menu? Thanks immensely for your help. The menu's stylesheet is below. /p Code: #nav, #nav ul {padding:0 0 5px 0; margin:0; list-style:none; font: 10px verdana, sans-serif; border:1px solid #000; border-color:#ace #79b #68a #bde; border-width:1px 2px 2px 1px; background:#fff; position:relative; z-index:200;} #nav {height:25px; padding:0;} #nav li {float:left;} #nav li li {float:none; background:#fff;} /* a hack for IE5.x and IE6 */ * html #nav li li {float:left;} #nav li a {display:block; float:left; color:#888; margin:0 25px 0 10px; height:25px; line-height:25px; text-decoration:none; white-space:nowrap;} #nav li li a {height:20px; line-height:20px; float:none;} #nav li:hover {position:relative; z-index:300;} #nav li:hover ul {left:0; bottom:21px; top:auto;} /* another hack for IE5.5 and IE6 */ * html #nav li:hover ul {left:10px;} #nav ul {position:absolute; left:-9999px; top:-9999px;} /* yet another hack for IE5.x and IE6 */ * html #nav ul {width:1px;} /* it could have been this simple if all browsers understood */ /* show next level */ #nav li:hover li:hover > ul {left:-15px; margin-left:100%; bottom:-7px; top:auto;} /* keep further levels hidden */ #nav li:hover > ul ul {position:absolute; left:-9999px; top:-9999px; width:auto;} /* show path followed */ #nav li:hover > a {text-decoration:underline; color:#57b;} /* but IE5.x and IE6 need this lot to style the flyouts and path followed */ /* show next level */ #nav li:hover li:hover ul, #nav li:hover li:hover li:hover ul, #nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover ul, #nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover ul {left:-15px; margin-left:100%; bottom:-7px; top:auto;} /* keep further levels hidden */ #nav li:hover ul ul, #nav li:hover li:hover ul ul, #nav li:hover li:hover li:hover ul ul, #nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover ul ul {position:absolute; left:-9999px; top:-9999px;} /* show path followed */ #nav li:hover a, #nav li:hover li:hover a, #nav li:hover li:hover li:hover a, #nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover a, #nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover a, #nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover a {text-decoration:underline; color:#57b;} /* hide futher possible paths */ #nav li:hover li a, #nav li:hover li:hover li a, #nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li a, #nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li a, #nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li a {text-decoration:none; color:#888;} I'm using the suggestions of those on here and using the http://www.dynamicsitesolutions.com...2/#relatedLinks menu (I'm a little confused over what the differences are but that's the least of my problems) What I want is a 2nd level drop down menu, but I'm clueless on how to go about it..??? Hi yall, i'm a quite newbie on css and i'm having an issue with my drop menu on the site i'm trying to do , with wordpress, multi level menu...i started from the code generated by the css generator and tried to fit it to my meeds. but, i can't control the li li menu (categories), i want it to appear exactly at the end of the li categories. 2) the second issue is that i'm trying to add a margin to the main ul because it's to near from the top. can someone help me plz? here my code Code: #suckerfishnav, #suckerfishnav ul { float: left; height: 2.98em; width: 960px; list-style: none; line-height: 1; background: white; font-weight: bold; margin: 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em; padding: 0; } #suckerfishnav a { display: block; color: #7c6240; text-decoration: none; padding-top: 0.25em; padding-right: 0.7em; padding-bottom: 0.1em; padding-left: 0.2em; } #suckerfishnav li { float: left; padding: 0; width: 13em; height: 2.8em; } #suckerfishnav ul { position: absolute; left: -999em; height: auto; margin-left: 2em; line-height: 1; z-index: 500; } #suckerfishnav li li { width: 9.6em; border: solid #eda; border-width: 1px; padding-top; 10px; } #suckerfishnav li ul a { width: 9.8em; } #suckerfishnav li ul ul { margin: -0.20em 0 0 9.8em; } #suckerfishnav li ul { position: absolute; left: -999em; height: auto; width: 9.9em; w\idth: 9.8em; font-weight: normal; border-width: 0.20em; margin: 0; z-index: 500; } #suckerfishnav li ul a { width: 9.9em; w\idth: 9.8em; } #suckerfishnav li:hover ul ul, #suckerfishnav li:hover ul ul ul, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul ul, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul ul ul { left: -999em; } #suckerfishnav li:hover ul, #suckerfishnav li li:hover ul, #suckerfishnav li li li:hover ul, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul, #suckerfishnav li li.sfhover ul, #suckerfishnav li li li.sfhover ul { left: auto; } #suckerfishnav li:hover, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover { background: #eda; width: 9.5em; w\idth: 9.4em; } Hey all, having a bit of trouble getting my drop down menu to display properly. It's modeled after the suckerfish menu, only modded a bit. Here's the site...hover over 'machines' to see what i'm talking about (have to use FF, i haven't added the JS for IE yet). The drop down is adopting the rollovers from the mainmenu, and I don't know what to change to make 'em different. Here's the CSS for the menu: Code: #mainmenu { width:780px; height:41px; margin:auto; position:relative; } #mainmenu li.navigation { width:78px; height:41px; float:left; text-align:center; background:#B8A488 url(images/mainmenu_roll.gif) no-repeat; } #mainmenu li.navigation a{ background:#66563D url(images/mainmenu_off.gif) no-repeat; display:block; text-decoration:none; color:#F4F1E5; height:31px; padding-top:10px; } #mainmenu li.navigation a:hover { background:transparent; color:#66563D; } #mainmenu li#home { background-image:url(images/home_roll.gif); } #mainmenu li#home a{ background-image:url(images/home_off.gif); } #mainmenu li#home a:hover { background:transparent; } #mainmenu li#contact { background-image:url(images/contact_roll.gif); } #mainmenu li#contact a { background-image:url(images/mainmenu_off.gif); } #mainmenu li#contact a:hover { background:transparent; } /* BEGIN DROP DOWN MENU */ li ul { display: none; position: absolute; top: 1px; margin-left:-2px; background-color:#B8A488; border-left:1px solid #66563D; border-bottom:1px solid #66563D; padding:2px; z-index:500; } * html li ul { top:26px; } /* li ul li { padding:0; } */ li > ul { top: auto; left: auto; } li:hover ul, li.over ul{ display: block; } Thanks! i'm having a problem with a couple attributes for my CSS dropdowns. view the page here (both CSS and XHTML are on the same page) specifically my .hoverBase:hover .hoverLaunch {} class which reads as such: Code: .hoverBase:hover .hoverLaunch { display:block; position:absolute; top:15px; left:-3px; width:70px; border:3px solid #000000; text-align: center; z-index: 30; } the problem is that IE6 will not display the .hoverLaunch class like FireBird does, in fact, it does not display at all. Another awesome feature of IE6 is that the :hover i have applied on the .hoverbase does not work either. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. I have been hunting around for an all CSS drop down menu that when you hover on the heading the menu expands down to show the heading 1 menu and if you hovered over the next menu item this expands to show that menu list instead a bit like the 'be the first to apply' on the right of this page, http://www.fish4.co.uk/iad/jobs search for say 'admin' just to get to the results page as this is where the menu is. the look is not important but the function is BUT.... i wanted to have many links in the drop down not just the one as in this example. this is the extracted code i have got so far that does what you see on this page. Code: <style> #rightcolumn { float: right; width: 170px; text-align: center; } #leftcolumn { float: left; width: 545px; padding: 10px; } h3#bftahead { text-align:left; color:#c1001f; font-size:1.5em; font-weight:bold; margin:23px 0px 10px 0px; } #bfta h4 { font-size:1.1em; margin:0em; padding:0.4em 0.1em 0.6em 0.1em } #bfta { width:170px; text-align:left; padding:0px; margin:0px 0px 10px 0px; list-style-type:none; height:47em; overflow:hidden; background:#ffffff url('images/bfta-background.jpg') bottom no-repeat; border-bottom:1px solid #cfcfcf; } #bfta li {float:left;width:100%;} #bfta li a { padding:0.5em 3%; display:block; width:94%; height:1.95em; margin-bottom:-0.4em; overflow:hidden; text-decoration:none; background:transparent url('images/bfta-background.png') no-repeat; color:#333333; font-family:arial, sans-serif; } #bfta li a#last, #bfta li a:hover {height:24em;} #bfta-whitebrand {list-style:none;margin:0em 0em 1em 1em;padding:0px;} #bfta-whitebrand li {padding:0em 0.4em;} </style> <div id="leftcolumn"> <ul id="bfta"> <li> <h4>a1</h4> a1 </li> <li><a href="a2"> <h4>a2</h4> a2</a> </li> <li><a href="a3"> <h4>a4</h4> a3</a> </li> </ul> </div> Hi, on my site http://www.mattmdesign.com, sometimes when you mouseover the portfolio the menu appears in the wrong spot. someone also said that it is appearing on the left side of the page everytime with mozilla 1.0 Does anyone know how I can make it appear right under the porfolio link every time? Thanks, Matt Need some help with some dropdown menus. I have been reading many of the tutorials on other sites. I have come up with this code for my drop down menus: Code: .dropmenu { position: absolute; left: -1500px; visibility: visible; z-index: 101; float: left; width: 122px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #BFBFBF; background-color: #FFFFFF; } .dropmenu ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none; } .dropmenu li { display: inline; } .dropmenu a, .dropmenu a:visited, .dropmenu a:active { display: block; width: 120px; padding: 2px; margin: 1px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; font-weight: normal; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; color: #000000; background-color: #D4D4D4; } .dropmenu a:hover { padding: 2px; margin: 1px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10px; font-weight: normal; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; color: #000000; background-color: #BFBFBF; } but no matter how much I adjust settings that I know, I cannot get the dropdowns to show up below my original buttons, they always show up to the right hand side. Can someone here please point me in the right direction... Help!! I am trying to design this website: nitrocanine .com/D/DDesign and the dropdown menus won't work in IE, while they work in Chrome, Safari, Firefox... does anyone know how to make them work in IE as well?? You can view the source and see the css coding and the relevant HTML. First I am using Dreamweaver MX2004. I am still new to CSS, have not used it much. Still using tables (yeah i know) for the layout. Mainly because when I've tried positioning in the past, IE doesn't display it right. Layers don't seem to work for me! What I'd like to know is: can I use CSS (the son of suckerfish dropdowns) for my drop down menu in a separate HTML file that would be saved as a library item? I'd like the nav separate so I can update it easily. Should I also use a separate CSS file that would only be associated with the nav? Is necessary to have an external css sheet, if it only applys to this nav? The nav would get dropped into a table row under the top banner. My issue is: will it get positioned right ? And will it view ok in IE??? Hope I explained this right. I fear that what I have already coded, would get messed up if I do this! But due to search engine optimization, I'd like to avoid a fully functioning javascript dropdown. If you have a better suggestion/usage for a dropdown horizontal nav, I'd appreciate your ideas! Thanks for the advice! Valerie My second level menu items are not showing in IE, but show fine in firefox.

I'm looking to add a drop down menu for my site but Instead of the menu dropping down i want it to go up and I found a few things about it but nothing really helped me I was wondering how can i get a css drop down to go up? sorry if this is the wrong forum to post on.. but i am clueless on this part i am going to be starting on the script soon just wanted to know how to code the script to make it go up Thank you Smackadoo Hi I am trying to create a drop down menu on my existing design. Code: http://dfinnema.com/help How would I add a drop down to Page 3 menu that looks like this: Code: http://dfinnema.com/help/images/dropdown_active.png Without the menu: Code: http://dfinnema.com/help/images/dropdown.png Any Ideas / Suggestions? :| Hi all -- I've used plenty of CSS in the past, but I'm currently working on a dropdown menu that is more challenging than I had anticipated. A few things I need to fix that I just cannot figure out: 1) The last <li> in the dropdown seems to be overlapping my border 2) I want to put at least 10px of padding on the left hand side of the dropdown menu 3) I need to turn the carrot in front of each menu item to #ff9900 4) Whenever I try to increase or decrease the space between menu items, it seems as though white lines appear between my menu items. In the interest of full disclosure, I found this CSS out somewhere on the web, and I've been trying to customize it since I didn't feel I had the knowledge to build it from scratch. Normally, I'd prefer to create something on my own, but limited time and knowledge prevented me from doing so this time around. Attached below are my HTML and CSS code. I tried to post a link, but the forum will not allow me. If you can offer any assistance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your time!

Everything works perfect expect one thing. When a mouse hovered on a link, dropdown links appear. Problem here is when I move my mouse towards the new links, they disappear before I reach them.
