CSS - Cant Center My Dropdown Css Menu
I am trying to create a website for my business and I cannot seem to center the navigation at the top of the screen and have the areas to the left and right of the screen be filled with the same bg color as the UL. I know usually you would set the margins to 0 auto to center that element on the page but for some reason its not working and the UL is just sticking to the left part of the screen. If anybody knows how to get this centered or how to fix my html/css i would sincerely appreciate it. Here is my code (html then css):
<body> <div class="wrap"> <div class="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="products.html" target="_self" >Products</a> <ul> <li><a href="seaisland.html" target="_self">Sea Island Collection</a></li> <li><a href="grandoak.html" target="_self">Grand Oak Collection</a></li> <li><a href="airflow.html" target="_self">Air-Flow </a></li> <li><a href="pure.html" target="_self">Pure Visor</a></li> <li><a href="coldweather.html" target="_self">Cold Weather</a></li> <li><a href="fahrenheit.html" target="_self">Fahrenheit Collection</a></li> <li><a href="caddietowels.html" target="_self">Caddie Towels</a></li> <li><a href="woventowels.html" target="_self">Woven Towels</a></li> <li><a href="sunprotection.html" target="_self">Sun Protection</a></li> <li><a href="" target=""></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="embelishments.html" target="_self" >Embellishments</a> <ul> <li><a href="embroidery.html" target="_self">Embroidery</a></li> <li><a href="wovenlabels.html" target="_self">Woven Labels</a></li> <li><a href="medallions.html" target="_self">Medallions</a></li> <li><a href="laserappliques.html" target="_self">Laser Appliques</a></li> <li><a href="ballmarkers.html" target="_self">Ball Markers</a></li> <li><a href="ultrasuede.html" target="_self">Ultra Suede</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="specials.html" target="_self" >Specials</a> </li> <li><a href="whatsnew.html" target="_self" >Whats New</a> </li> <li><a href="order.html" target="_self" >Order</a> </li> <li><a href="contact.html" target="_self" >Contact</a> </li> </ul> </div> body{ font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #333333; background-color:#b7b7b7; padding: 0px; overflow:auto; border: #0F0 solid 5px; margin: auto; } .wrap{ margin:0 auto; background-color:b7b7b7; border:0px; padding:0px; } .menu{ border:0px; padding:0px; font: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-weight:bold; background-color:#F0F; } .menu ul{ background:#b7b7b7; height:35px; list-style:none; margin:0; padding:0; } .menu li{ float:left; padding:0px; } .menu li a{ background:#333333 url("images/seperator.gif") bottom right no-repeat; color:#cccccc; display:block; font-weight:normal; line-height:35px; margin:0px; padding:0px 25px; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; } .menu li a:hover, .menu ul li:hover a{ background: #2580a2 url("images/hover.gif") bottom center no-repeat; color:#FFFFFF; text-decoration:none; } .menu li ul{ background:#333333; display:none; height:auto; padding:0px; margin:0px; border:0px; position:absolute; width:225px; z-index:200; /*top:1em; /*left:0;*/ } .menu li:hover ul{ display:block; } .menu li li { background:url('images/sub_sep.gif') bottom left no-repeat; display:block; float:none; margin:0px; padding:0px; width:225px; } .menu li:hover li a{ background:none; } .menu li ul a{ display:block; height:35px; font-size:12px; font-style:normal; margin:0px; padding:0px 10px 0px 15px; text-align:left; } .menu li ul a:hover, .menu li ul li:hover a{ background:#2580a2 url('images/hover_sub.gif') center left no-repeat; border:0px; color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none; } .menu p{ clear:left; } Similar TutorialsThe menu left aligns - from float left but even if I put the UL in a div and auto the borders it won't center. Any ideas? Code:
<div id="banner" align="center"><a href="mysite.com"><img src="images/top_banner.jpg" border="0"></a></div>
<ul id="menu">
<li><a href="1.html" title=">1</a></li>
<li><a href="2.html" title=">2</a></li>
<li><a href="3.html" title=">3</a></li>
<li><a href="4.html" title=">4</a></li>
<li><a href="5.html" title=">5</a></li>
<li><a href="6.html" title=">6</a></li>
</ul>
I then have the following CSS: Code:
#banner {
background: url("images/header_split.jpg") bottom right repeat;
float: left;
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
#menu {
background: #5a5152;
float: left;
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
#menu li {
float: left;
font: 67.5% "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Bitstream Vera Sans", "Trebuchet Unicode MS", "Lucida Grande", Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#menu a {
background: #5a5152 url("images/seperator.gif") bottom right no-repeat;
color: #ccc;
display: block;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 8px 12px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#menu a:hover {
background: #2580a2 url("images/hover.gif") bottom center no-repeat;
color: #fff;
padding-bottom: 8px;
}
The menu left aligns - from float left but even if I put the UL in a div and auto the borders it won't center. Any ideas? Hi, For some reason I can't get the main menu to center, nor will the background color (light blue) extend all the way to the right. You can see what I mean he http://www.granddistraction.com Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. 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..??? I have a horizontal nav menu I've created using <ul> and <li> inside a <div> The problem is I can't get it to vertically center. I tried using padding and/or margin and it didn't work for all browsers. Here is the html: Code: <div class="top_nav"> <ul> <li><a href='/'>HOME</a></li> <li><a href='menu'>MENU</a></li> <li><a href='catering'>CATERING</a></li><li>DETAILS</li> <li><a href='photos'>PHOTOS</a></li> </ul> </div> and the CSS: Code:
.top_nav {
margin: 0 auto 15px auto;
height: 25px;
padding: 10px;
clear: both;
}
.top_nav ul {
list-style: none;
text-align: center;
}
.top_nav li {
padding: 0 25px;
font-family: "Palatino Linotype", "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
display: inline;
letter-spacing: 2px;
}
.top_nav li a {
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
}
.top_nav li a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
border-bottom: 3px solid #660000;
}
It stays vertically positioned at the top I'm embedding menumatic into a joomla 1.6 based website. Menumatic is just a slick css suckerfish menu with some mootools effects. http://greengeckodesign.com/menumatic Anyway, I've edited the CSS to look ALMOST right. The only problem is that I cannot get the menu as a whole to center correctly on the page. Anybody have any ideas about how i can do this? (In addition to the 100's of things I've tried, I've tried putting it in another set of div's and centering that div, but it didn't work ) below is all the code. I left the JS out, since it also runs (a bit less prettily) on pure css. Also, I have verified the CSS at w3. There are four lines that are not standard, but they are to do with the rounded corner borders, not the spacing or alignment. Edit: A bit more playing around and I have think it is a conflict with floating the items left. They need to display:block in order to display correctly so they also need to float (left) since they would otherwise be on separate lines (I think). Anybody have an idea about how to get around this? I tried to justify the text (that would be fine for my purposes), but it didn't work either. CSS: Code:

I can't center the menu horizontally, I've tried a lot of methods. The last one I tried was Matt James Taylor's on his blog, but to no avail. I can't get it to work, so if anyone has ideas how to make the menu always in the center of the page....thanks I want to center a horizontal menu (not the words - the entire menu). Everything I read says I need to insert align-text: center into the #menu ul portion of my CSS. However, I've tried that and it doesn't work for me. I'm using Dreamweaver for my editing and I'm rather new to CSS. The CSS code I have for the menu is: Code: #menuwrapper {width: 1280px;
height: 25px;
background: #FFC557 url(images/menu_background.jpg) repeat-x;
color: #000;}
#menu, #menu ul {display: inline;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;}
#menu li {display: block;
float: left !important;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
line-height: 25px;
position: relative;
left: 19px;}
#menu a {height: 25px;
width: 85px;
background: #FFC557 url(images/button.jpg) no-repeat;
color: #000;
display: block;
font-size: 105%;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
border-left: 1px solid #000;}
#lastbutton {border-right: 1px solid #000;}
#menu a:hover {background-position: 0 -25px;}
Now how the heck do I center the menu as opposed to having it aligned to the left??? Please forgive me if this is just a stupid mistake, I'm pretty much a CSS newbie. I generated a CSS menu (http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com/css-menu-generator.shtml) and inserted it into my CSS file. The menu is ok, but it pushed my center column down so that it only touches at a corner, when it should be leveled up and touching along the side. Here's the relevant code: Quote: #c-col{ position: relative; margin: 0px 74px 20px 180px; border: 1px solid #003366; background: #333366; color: #CCFFFF; padding: 20px; z-index: 3; } .buttonscontainer {width: 174px;} .buttons a {color: #333366; border: 1px solid; background-color: #336699; padding: 2px; padding-left: 3px; font: 12px Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-color: #9999CC #333366 #333366 #9999CC; display: block; margin: 0px; width: 100%; text-align: left;} .buttons a:hover {border: 1px solid; padding-left: 4px; padding-top: 3px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-right: 1px; background-color: #6666CC; border-color: #333366 #9999CC #9999CC #333366; color: #333366; text-decoration: none;} Have I inserted it in the wrong place or is there something missing/redundant? I'd appreciate any suggestions. I'm simply trying to center a horizontal menu with a drop down. The two methods I know of to align the list items in the top menu are 1) Code: li { float: left; }
and 2) Code: li { display: inline; }
. The first method is needed for absolute positioning of the drop down list, but it left aligns the top menu. The second method centers the menu (desired affect) but throws off the drop down placement because the it lacks the containing block. Works, but left aligned: http://www.highgatecross.com/develo...ered_menu1.html Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

Centers, but drop down is in the wrong place: http://www.highgatecross.com/develo...ered_menu2.html Code:
#menu li {
display: inline; /* float: left */
list-style: none }
#menu li a {
display: block; /* delete this line */
padding: 7px 25px }
Note: I normally have my closing } flush left, but trying to keep it clean for the forum. And yes, this is not IE compatible. Question: How to I center the top menu and have the drop down placed correctly? Thanks. 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. Code: #menucontainer {
width: 100%;
clear: both;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-left:0px;
padding-top:35px;
padding-bottom:15px; }

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! 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!

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;
}

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 Link: http://cemtec.quicksites.co.za CSS: http://cemtec.quicksites.co.za/wp-c...grass/style.css Hi This dropdown menu on Products works in Firefox but when I goto IE7 I dont see anything at all. I have tried changing the div Class to a Div Id also without any change. Anybody have any clues to what I have todo? L. |
