CSS - Css Drop Down Menu: Submenus To Remain In Place
I'm working on a drop down menu that's entirely in CSS, and since it contains several levels and some go below the visible part of the page needing scrolling down (not good) - I need to have the sublists remain in place when the mouse is no longer over. Is there an easy way to do that without involving Javascript? Or if that is needed, how exactly? Please help!!! Thank you!
Similar Tutorialsok i have this css: Code:
#menu ul li {position: relative;}
#menu li ul {position: absolute; left:-34%; top:100%; display: none; }
#menu li:hover ul, #menu li.over ul{ display: block; background-color:#000000; width:150%;}
this works for menu & submenu, however i copied it and tried to use it for sub-sub menu with NO LUCK. Code:
#menu li ul li ul, #menu li ul li ul li {position:fixed;display:none; left:150em; top:0em; width:100%; }
#menu li ul li:hover ul, #menu li ul li.over ul {display:block; }
i did try something and got the sub-sub menu to "work" but when i hovered over the main menu, both sub, sub-sub menu were showing instead of just the sub menu showing. (obv i wanted to show sub-sub menu only when the person hover over the li containing the subsub menu) sorry if it is confusing. Hello everyone, I have a drop-down menu that is currently working well. The only change I need to make is to have the right edge of the drop-down menu to align with the right edge of the parent menu. When you hover over the menu, it currently "drops" down and to the right, with the left edges aligned. I want the menu to "drop" down and to the left, so the right edges are aligned. I have tried fiddling with floats and absolute/relative positioning. I'm not sure what needs to be changed. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! I'm learning via "cut and paste", so please go easy on any terminology you may use. Thank you! Here is the page: http://www.littlebuddymedia.com/site05/012.html The menu currently drops like this (aligned along the left edge): http://www.justskins.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/drop-down-menu.gif I want the menu to do this (align along the right edge; see how "Artists" is aligned under "Music" along the right edge): http://artatm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mtvmenu.JPG Here is my code: Code:

Hello, I have made playersnutrition.com As you can see, when you go to another page, the menu dosent stay at the top. How do I make it stay at the top???? does anyone know how i can place my menu on the right spot. this is the website Site the menu is supposed to be placed on this spot ( this is an older version of the layout): Old Layout but i cant get the css-menu there >.< the code for its position Quote: #navcontainer ul { margin-left: 1; padding-left: ; as u can see, margin is 1 and already its too far! if its 0, then its totally on the left-side, i cant set 0.1 or something and if margin is >1 than its too far ofcourse -_- how can i place the menu on the right spot (as shown in the second link)? (it is also supposed to be a bit lower) tats the main problem. if u want u can also comment (suggest) the new layout. i have a hard time choosing which one is better. i am still planning to make changes though. Hi, I really help someone could help me accomplish what I need in order to finish a project for a friend I started, I am still a newb at CSS and HTML, so if you could explain to me in simple terms this would be ideal. I want to place a button located here in the menu of the website. The image will link to a booking page, I would also like a hover image too if possible. Maybe even have just text with Bold formatting then have an arrow or icon next to it, either way would be fine. If any body could help me this would be great. This is what the index.html file looks like; <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="topwrapper"></div> <div id="mainwrapper"> <!-- Header Start --> <div id="header"> <div class="center"> <!-- Logo Start --> <div id="logo"> <a href="./index.html"><img src="./images/logo.png" alt="logo" /></a> </div> <!-- Logo End --> <div id="headerright"> <!-- Menu Navigation Start --> <div id="mainmenu"> <div id="myslidemenu" class="jqueryslidemenu"> <ul> <li><a href="http://" class="selected">Home</a> <li><a href="./about.html">About</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Our Company</a></li> <li><a href="#">Vision and Mission</a></li> <li><a href="#">Testomonials</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#./.html">Services</a> <li><a href="./.html">Vehicles</a> <ul> <li><a href="#"></a></li> <li><a href="#"></a></li> <li><a href="#"></a></li> <li><a href="#"></a> </li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="./.html">Testomonials</a> <ul> </ul> <li><a href="./html">Contact</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <!-- Menu Navigation End --> </div> </div> </div> Thanks so much in advance, I cant place an image to show you so if anyone understands this confusing posts and still wants to help, email me so I can send you an example. Following sample is from http://www.code-couch.com/jeff/snippets/general/tektips-navigation-example.html is what I am trying to reference to create a template. But how do I how keep the state of Menu on each requested page any help is appreciated. The following menu is saved in a separate jsp file i.e. navs.jsp. I include this navigation jsp file in all of my files. Initially the drop down looks like: Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [+] Google.com . [+] Yahoo.com Now clicking [+] in front of Google.com will look like. Code:
. Ask.Jeeves
. [-] Google.com
. Google.co.ie
. Google.co.ie
. [+] Google.co.nz
. [+] Yahoo.com
Lets's say now if I click on Google.co.ie it takes me to sample.jsp and on this requested page (sample.jsp) how can I show the following menu hierarchy with Google.co.ie bold/underlined/colorchanged showing what menu content I clicked and am viewing the appropriate content i.e. Code:
. Ask.Jeeves
. [-] Google.com
. Google.co.ie
. Google.co.ie
. [+] Google.co.nz
. [+] Yahoo.com
Same way clicking Google.com or Yahoo.com or Ask.Jeeves shows you the following hierarchy on the requested page with higlight/bold/colored the link we just selected. i.e. Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [+] Google.com . [+] Yahoo.com Any time clicking on the menu takes me to some page but on that page I want to show th hierarchy of the menu all the way to which is recently clicked with different color setting.

Any help is really appreciated thanks. EDIT:: Simplier way to write the question ^.^ :: When I scroll off the menu/link onto the first link in the submenu it stays, but when I mvoe down to the next item in the submenu it disappears.

Also not sure if it's correct, but I can worry about that later. link: The Page Hi all, I've got a horizontal menu that is working just fine in every browser but IE 6 and 7. In IE it's almost there, except that the submenus will only appear one level deep. The menu is created with nested lists. The :hover functionality is simulated via JavaScript for IE 6. The IE developer toolbar shows the 3rd level menu is correctly being changed to display: block when its parent is hovered, and the border the dev toolbar draws even puts it in the correct place, it just doesn't actually appear. You can find the page he http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/ The CSS and JS (uses jQuery) can be found he http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/css/screen.css http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/css/ie.css (loaded with a conditional comment) http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/js/tdps.js http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/js/ie.js (loaded with a conditonal comment) For a specific example of what I'm talking about, try hovering over the second item, Filters & Parts. This will give you another level with four choices. Each of those also has child elements, but when hovered over, the next level doesn't appear. Try it in something other than IE 6 or 7 to see how it's supposed to look. Thanks very much in advance! Another question with this menu: Austin360 Does anyone know how they made the widths of the submenu items stretch/adjust wider for more text, while the top level stays the same? I have a couple of dropdown templates, but the submenus are only as wide as the top level list items. (If their text is wider, the top level item is stretched too -- not what I want) Thanks in advance! dear all, is it possible, using css or otherwise, to have a div on my page remian visible even when the page is scrolled hoizontally and the div goes out of view. the div in question runs vertically down the left hand side of the page. there are javascript menus i have seen that do this (albeit usually when scrolling vertically), but i wonder if it can be done with css. many thanks, mark I working on a CSS to display a round-shouldered-tab menu. My result is acceptable: http://rickduley.webs.com/roundShoulderTabMenu.jpg except for the fact that the tabs are set below the menuBar on which the are supposed to display. I have run out of ideas. Would someone please set me on the right path? Thanks. P.S.: the code is at http://rickduley.webs.com/roundShoulderTabMenu.zip.kgb - you have to delete the 'dot key gee bee' suffix. I had made a site with a pure CSS drop down menu (using hover). The problem is that it works fine in the various browsers... IE6, FF1.x, NS, Opera... But it doesn't work in IE7. Anyone know a work around for using the hover as a drop down with IE7? I can paste the code later (when I get back to where my site is) if needed. Thanks for any input. I'm playing around with CSS for the first time and have created a drop down menu that I would like to use for a site I have so any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I've placed the menu on its own page at h t t p : / / aztechnogeek . somee . com / cssmenu . html for accurate coding (just view source). - sorry as a new user I guess I can't post hyperlinks. What I would like to know how to do is when the cursor is moved down a menu list why the top hover attribute does not stay active??? Confusing I know but when you see the working menu you'll understand - I hope. Any help would be great, thank you!!! Hi all, I'm having an issue with a drop down menu and have been beating myself up trying to figure it out. If I position the menu as relative it works when I resize the page/browser but it screws up the layout of the page (I put the <div> code right below the menu images to get it lined up but it throws the layout way off). By works I mean the menu will open right below the "Company" menu item regardless of browser size. Positioning the menu using absolute, it doesn't move if I resize the browser, etc. but it doesn't screw up the layout of the page. So my question is, how can I get this menu to always be under the correct menu option? You can use the link below to view my test page. The page is currently using absolute positioning and the coordinates are off since I was playing with the various positioning schemes. http://www.info-adv.com/test/css Any insight/help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. If you need me to elaborate or better explain my problem please let me know. Thanks, Tim Hi, I have this drop down menu, but the parents are appearing under each other, instead of next to each other. I am trying to create a horizontal menu with sub items appear under the parent items. this is my code: PHP Code: #menu2 { width: 800px; float:left } #menu2 ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 12em; float: left; } #menu2 a, #menu2 h2 { font: bold 11px/16px arial, helvetica, sans-serif; display: block; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #ccc #888 #555 #bbb; margin: 0; padding: 2px 3px; } #menu2 h2 { color: #fff; background: #000; text-transform: uppercase; } #menu2 a { color: #000; background: #efefef; text-decoration: none; } #menu2 a:hover { color: #a00; background: #fff; } #menu2 li {position: relative; float:left; width: 200px;} a.mainlevel{background-color: #000000!important; display:inline-block} #menu2 ul ul { position: absolute; z-index: 500; float:left } #menu2 ul ul ul { position: absolute; top: 0; } div#menu2 ul ul, div#menu2 ul li:hover ul ul, div#menu2 ul ul li:hover ul ul {display: none;} div#menu2 ul li:hover ul, div#menu2 ul ul li:hover ul, div#menu2 ul ul ul li:hover ul {display: block;} Can anyone see anything wrong? Many thanks I have been tasked with building a CSS drop down menu system. I have worked out I can use a hover event to invoke the drop-downs (and hide them again). However. How would I invoke one and keep it visible if they went down to the sub-menu rather than just disappearing because they left the element the hover is applied to? I have made a menu which I love because it is the layout that I want. However, I am having problems with the menu when I try to add a "Drop Down" feature to it. The menu I currently have and use is: http://www.gc40.com/menu2.html I would like to turn some of the tabs like services into a drop down menu. I found a script that was a drop down menu and I tried to customize it to match my original menu but failed. The script that I found is: http://www.gc40.com/menu1.html Is there anyone that can customize http://www.gc40.com/menu2.html for me using http://www.gc40.com/menu1.html so that I can have drop down capabilities? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks guys. Alright, I've started to design the other pages on my site. I had to change some things in the code in order for my design to work properly. I didn't have it set up correctly before. So everything works the way I want it to now...except for the drop down menu. I am only a beginner with CSS and do not know much about it. I can't figure out what it is I did that made the navigation stop working. If maybe somebody that is more experienced than myself can take a look at it to see what I did, I would really appreciate it. Oh yea, here is the link to the beggining stages of my "about" page: About Keep in mind, nothing is really for sure yet. I just want to get the coding done, so if you think the page could use some sprucing up, you're not alone. As of now the site works best in Firefox and the drop down menu should appear when "Portfolio" is hovered over. Here is the link to the CSS: CSS Thanks I have created a style sheet drop down menu and it works fine in mozilla and most times in works in ie however sometimes the menu will not drop down in ie but when you hit refresh the menu drops down. any ideas. Below is my stylesheet for creating a css drop down menu - I am using csshover.htc for internet explorer and this in the html <!--[if IE]> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> body { behavior: url(<%lcURLTheme2%><%lcThemeName%>css/csshover.htc);} #menu ul li {float: left; width: 100%;} #menu ul li a {height: 1%;} </style> <![endif]--> #menu { z-index: 2000; background: url(../images/hoz_menu_BG.gif) repeat-x #8898BC; background-color: #8898BC; color: black; position: absolute; width: 100%; text-align: center; left: 0; cursor: pointer; font-size: .9em; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; border-bottom: 5px solid #CCD6EB; } /*top level for student*/ #menu #st ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 19.7%; float: left; } /*2nd level for student*/ #menu #st ul ul { width: 80%; position: absolute; left: 0; z-index: 500; } /*3rd level for student*/ #menu #st ul ul ul { width: 90%; position: absolute; left: 100%; top: 1px; } #menu a { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: transparent; text-decoration: none; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 4px 2px 4px 5px; } #menu a:link { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #4D678C; } #menu a:visited { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #4D678C; } #menu a:hover { color: #000000; background-color: #ABBAD7; } #menu ul { border-right: 1px dotted #FFFFFF; } #menu li { position: relative; } #menu ul ul li {border-bottom: 1px solid #FFFFFF; } #menu ul ul { border-right: 1px solid #FFFFFF; } #menu ul ul { border-top: 1px solid #FFFFFF; } /*#menu ul ul ul { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 100%; }*/ div#menu ul ul , div#menu ul li:hover ul ul, div#menu ul ul li:hover ul ul { display: none; } div#menu ul li:hover ul, div#menu ul ul li:hover ul, div#menu ul ul ul li:hover ul { display: block; } /*2nd menu colours - uses #menu styles and then overwrites them for top menu links*/ div#menu ul li li a { color: white; background-color: #4D678C; text-transform: capitalize; text-align: left; border-left: 1px solid #FFFFFF; } |
