<a href="(will be page in site)" class="menuanchorclass" rel="anylinkmenu4"> <img src="images/kids-button.gif" width="260" height="263" alt="Kids" style="border-width:0" /></a> Similar TutorialsHello 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: .chromestyle{ width: 100%; font-weight: bold; float: left; height: 29px; } .chromestyle:after{ /*Add margin between menu and rest of content in Firefox*/ content: "."; display: block; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden; } .chromestyle ul{ border: 0px solid #BBB; width: 100%; background: url(chromebg.gif) center center repeat-x; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ padding: 4px 0; margin: 0; text-align: right; /*set value to "left", "center", or "right"*/ } .chromestyle ul li{ display: inline; } .chromestyle ul li a{ color: #000000; padding: 4px 7px; margin: 0; text-decoration: none; border-left: 1px solid #DADADA; } .chromestyle ul li a:hover, .chromestyle ul li a.selected{ /*script dynamically adds a class of "selected" to the current active menu item*/ background: url(chromebg-over.gif) center center repeat-x; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ } /* ######### Style for Drop Down Menu ######### */ .dropmenudiv{ position:absolute; top: 0; border: 1px solid #BBB; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ border-bottom-width: 0; font:normal 12px Verdana; line-height:18px; z-index:100; background-color: white; width: 200px; visibility: hidden; } .dropmenudiv a{ width: auto; display: block; text-indent: 3px; border-bottom: 1px solid #BBB; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ padding: 2px 5px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: black; } * html .dropmenudiv a{ /*IE only hack*/ width: 100%; } .dropmenudiv a:hover{ /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ background-color: #0000ff; color: #fff200; } Hey guys , I am looking to convert my css3 vertical nav bar , from the order of "DROP DOWN" to "DROP UP" .

I have a gallery site, what i have not create my self, download and install type of thing and i have made a custom header menu, but i can not get et to locate correctly. As you can see on this site pictures.rcheli.dk there is a menu at the top " Home | RC Earth | Blog | Pictures | Contact " and i can get i to align to the right. If i resize the windows it scales with the window. You can see here rcheli.dk how i wold like it to work, the location of the menu. Can anybody help me with this issue, i think i have tried every thing. Ok, I know virtually nothing about css, but realized that that a css menu is better for SEO. Anyway I found this vertical menu that works the way I want it. But I also need a horizontal version of it with dropdown submenus. Can someone help with this? I have been trying a bunch of things but it just looks awful and doesn't work right. It has 3 basic componets; Html, Javascript, and css. Here they are below. drop_down.js: Code: // JavaScript Document startList = function() { if (document.all&&document.getElementById) { navRoot = document.getElementById("nav"); for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) { node = navRoot.childNodes[i]; if (node.nodeName=="LI") { node.onmouseover=function() { this.className+=" over"; } node.onmouseout=function() { this.className=this.className.replace(" over", ""); } } } } } window.onload=startList; HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Horizontal Drop Down Menus</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="drop_down.js"></script> <style type="text/css"> @import "style2.css"; </style> </head> <body> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">About</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">History</a></li> <li><a href="#">Team</a></li> <li><a href="#">Offices</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Services</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Web Design</a></li> <li><a href="#">Internet Marketing</a></li> <li><a href="#">Hosting</a></li> <li><a href="#">Domain Names</a></li> <li><a href="#">Broadband</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Contact Us</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">United Kingdom</a></li> <li><a href="#">France</a></li> <li><a href="#">USA</a></li> <li><a href="#">Australia</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </body> </html> Style2.CSS: Code: body { font: normal 11px verdana; } ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; width: 150px; /* Width of Menu Items */ border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; } ul li { position: relative; } li ul { position: absolute; left: 149px; /* Set 1px less than menu width */ top: 0; display: none; } /* Styles for Menu Items */ ul li a { display: block; text-decoration: none; color: #777; background: #fff; /* IE6 Bug */ padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 0; } /* Fix IE.

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.

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! Hi ... I'm new here. I hope someone can help me. I've taken a Dreamweaver CS3 3-column template and added a fourth column. Everything looks okay until I move the "main content" column above columns 2 and 3 in the source code (so that it will load before them, because they have external content). Then I get float drop with columns 2 and 3. Since I'm a new user, I'm not allowed to post URLs, but I think if you go to my profile you can see my home page address. Then just add the following paths: Page without float drop (before changing column order) /new/index.html Page with float drop (after changing column order) /new/about.html I tested this on the basic DW template that I started with, and it has the same problem. I ran my page through the CSS validator with only two errors that I can't figure out. However, I get 75 errors when I use the XHTML validator, and I think I'll have a nervous breakdown if I have to try to fix all that. I know it's probably something to do with margins or floats, but I've tried everything I can think of and I'm at wit's end. Thanks in advance. 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 tried to do this CSS drop down menu with 2 methods, but none of them work perfect. The first method is this: PHP Code: #menu1main { /* Top drop down menu styles */ height : 31px; display : block; } #menu1main a { /* Top drop down menu hover styles */ display : block; color : #000000; text-decoration : none; border : none; background-repeat : no-repeat; } .menu1 .menu1list { /* Hide top drop down menu submenu */ display : none; } .menu1, .display { /* Top drop down menu top level styles */ float : left; width : 110px; text-align : center; vertical-align : middle; font-family : Comic Sans MS; font-size : 10pt; line-height : 31px;} /* Top drop down menu submenu hover styles */ a.menu1b1lv1, a.menu1b1lv1:hover, a.menu1b1lv1:active { background-image : url('image/menu_banner_1.jpg'); background-position : 12px 50% ; } a.menu1b2lv1, a.menu1b2lv1:hover, a.menu1b2lv1:active { background-image : url('image/menu_banner_2.jpg'); background-position : 12px 50% ; } /* Top drop down menu submenu hover styles */ a.menu1lv2, a.menu1lv2:hover, a.menu1lv2:active { display : block; text-decoration : none; border : none; color : #000000; text-indent : 16px; text-align : left; font-size : 8pt; line-height : 20px; width : 130px; } a.menu1lv2:hover, a.menu1lv2:active { background-image : url('image/menu_cube_1.gif'); background-position : 0% 100% ; background-repeat : no-repeat; } a.menu1lv2:hover, a.menu1lv2:active, a.menu1b1lv1:hover, a.menu1b1lv1:active, a.menu1b2lv1:hover, a.menu1b2lv1:active { font-weight : bold; } The HTML for this is: Code: <div id="menu1main"> <div class="menu1" onmouseover="this.className='display'" onmouseout="this.className='menu1'"> <a class="menu1b1lv1" href="">Intro</a> <div class="menu1list"> <a class="menu1lv2" href="">Part 1 Title</a> <a class="menu1lv2" href="">Part 2 Title</a> <a class="menu1lv2" href="">Part 3 Title</a> </div></div> <div class="menu1" onmouseover="this.className='display'" onmouseout="this.className='menu1'"> <a class="menu1b2lv1" href="">Chapter 1</a> <div class="menu1list"> <a class="menu1lv2" href="">Part 1 Long Title</a> <a class="menu1lv2" href="">Part 2 Long Title</a> <a class="menu1lv2" href="">Part 3 Long Title</a> </div></div> </div> The problem with this version is I can't change the width of the submenu, or else the second Chapter title will float to the right. So I tried the second method: PHP Code: ul.top { /* Top drop down menu styles */ display : block; padding : 0; margin : 0; border : none; font-family : Comic Sans MS; font-size : 10pt; text-align : center; vertical-align : middle; } #topnav li.topnav0 { /* Top drop down top level menu styles */ position : relative; float : left; background-image : url('image/menu_banner_1.jpg'); background-position : 50% 0% ; background-repeat : no-repeat; width : 110px; line-height : 31px; } #topnav li.topnav0 a { /* Top level link styles */ color : #000000; text-decoration : none; } li.topnav0 a:hover { /* Top level hover styles */ text-decoration : none; font-weight : bold; } #topnav ul.topnav1 a:hover { /* Drop down hover styles */ text-decoration : none; background-image : url('image/menu_cube_1.gif'); background-position : 0 50% ; background-repeat : no-repeat; } li.topnav0 ul.topnav1 {/* Drop down box style */ display : none; background : #FFFFFF; padding : 0; margin : 0; position : absolute; top : 100%; left : 0; } #topnav ul.topnav1 a { /* Drop Down Submenu Item Styles */ display : block; padding : 0; margin : 0; text-indent : 16px; text-align : left; font-size : 8pt; line-height : 20px; width : 250px; } #topnav li.topnav0:hover ul.topnav1, li.over ul.topnav1, li.over li.topnav1 { /* Makes Drop down work in IE */ display : block; } And the HTML is as follow: Code: <div> <ul class="top" id="topnav"> <li class="topnav0"><div><a href="#">Home</a></div> </li> <li class="topnav0"><div><a href="#">Intro</a></div> <ul class="topnav1"> <li><a href="#">Part 1 Title</a></li> <li><a href="#">Part 2 Title</a></li> <li><a href="#">Part 3 Title</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="topnav0"><div><a href="#">Chapter 1</a></div> <ul class="topnav1"> <li><a href="#">Part 1 Long Title</a></li> <li><a href="#">Part 2 Long Title</a></li> <li><a href="#">Part 3 Long Title</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> The problem with this version is that I cannot change the background image for each Chapter on the top level. Also, I cannot make the background of the drop down submenu transparent. If I make it transparent or delete the background line, the Part 2 link will not show up. Any help of making either method to work is great appreciated! Thank you very much! I've tried to insert a horizontal drop down CSS menu in my layout. However, the menu bar displays about 10 pixels lower in Firefox than it does in IE. <a href="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)">Link</a> I checked the margins, padding but can not seem to find a way to get the menu to display at the same position in both browsers. Any guidance is very appreciated. thanks. Hi, I am working on my site, and was wondering if anyone knew how to do a menu like this http://www.vh1.com/music/ The one on the left in blue.. how it turns to white. I am pretty sure this is done with css. Can anyone tell me how this is done? Thanks Hi, I am trying to make a drop down menu using only CSS. I want to be able to set the width of the menu and don't want the width to be dependant of size of the menu option. This is the XHTML code (I am using 1.0 strict): <div class="option"> <form name="navigation"> <select name="selectname" SIZE="1"> <option class="">not wide enough</option> <option class=""></option> <option class=""></option> <option class=""></option> </select> </form> </div> And the CSS part: div.option { position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 0px; width: 520px; height: 50px; z-index: 3; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; } What I would really like is to set the menu width to preffered (in pixels) and not as wide as the phrase "not wide enough" makes it. Is this possible with CSS. I am rying to avoid Javascript and tables (btw I'm using only divs as much as possible. Can someone point me where to look for this kind of thing. Thanks. Hey guys, New to the forum. Mainly came on here to get help with my nav bar. It works perfectly in FF and IE 8.07+, but the problem it with IE8.06, where it doesn't show at all. Not too worried about pre-8.06, only a small amount of my page hits comes from below that version. I've spent ages looking for a problem, but can't find where I've went wrong. There's may be some superfluous stuff in there that I've added to try and fix the problem.. Please help? =) ------------------------ Code: #PageList1 ul { height: 1.5em; overflow:hidden; margin: 10px -10px 5px; width: 100%; padding: 10px; background-image:url('http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WKkxGKrRVcw/TbFWFn_2VxI/AAAAAAAAAis/NKf1k3sO9A8/s1600/nav_bg2.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-x; } #PageList1 li { height: 1.5em; list-style-type:none; float:left; } #PageList1 li a { display:block; height: 1.5em; width:auto; clear:left; font-weight:bold; font-size:9pt; line-height: 0.5em; margin: -9px 0px -23px; color: #ffffff; background-image:url('http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vhqPwC7csIg/TSUQG6Q3tfI/AAAAAAAAAYU/5ceiGi8na3s/s1600/gradient40px.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-x; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; padding: 10px 10px 15px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-right: 0px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 0px solid #ccc; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; -moz-border-radius: 5px; border-radius: 5px; -moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000; -webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000; box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000; } #PageList1 li a:hover, #PageList1 li a.sfhover { background:transparent; font-weight:bold; color: white; } #PageList1 li ul { left: -999em; position: absolute; width: 13em; /* Width to help Opera out */ height: auto; background-color: #ccc; colour:#fff; clear: left; } #PageList1 li:hover ul, #PageList1 li.sfhover ul { left: auto; margin: 8px -80px 0px; width: 13em; height: auto; background: #ccc; } #PageList1 li:hover li a, #PageList1 li.sfhover li a { background:#ccc; border: 0px solid #ccc; border-right: 0px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 0px solid #fffccc; -webkit-border-radius: 0px; -moz-border-radius: 0px; border-radius: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 5px 0px 0px; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000; box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000; color: #000; } #PageList1 li li a:hover, #PageList1 li li a.sfhover { background-color: #ccc; color: #fff;} <script type='text/javascript'> sfHover = function() { var sfEls = document.getElementById("PageList1").getElementsByTagName("LI"); for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) { sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() { this.className+=" sfhover"; } sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() { this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover\\b"), ""); } } } if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover); </script> Hi this theme had an old dropdown menu that was acting weird in some browsers so I updated it with a plugin and now to need to customize it to look a certain way. There are a few stylesheets at work because of the plugin but I am unable to discern why the "Contact Us" text is off-center in the button. I can see that it seems to be too long, but I don't know why it is favoring the right side of the background, instead of being centered in the background. If someone could help me demystify this I would be MUCH obliged. I will post a link so that it can be inspected... When I am allowed after 4 more posts! Please inspect the elements (too much code to post with all different style sheets at play!). Thank you. EDIT: here is link: http://drewclifton.com/clients/northern-computer/ You can also see that the dropdown under 'Services' looks funky; I'm thinking a 'sliding door' solution would be appropriate yes? Thank you. I have a horizontal menu that drops vertically when you hover over a menu item. In IE7, the menu hides behind images making it invisible if it drops in a spot where an image is at. I haven't been able to find the answer to my problem, so I'm hoping someone here is familiar with this issue. I should mention it works in Firefox, but I haven't tested any other browsers. Ok I am creating a CSS/Javascript Horizontal drop down menu and everything looks great except when I go down and highlight items on my submenu the styles go away on the Menu Item Selected, how can I have those attributes maintain when I go on it's sub elements? Thanks alot Seth Code: <div id="Nav"> <ul class="menu"> <li> <a href="#"> Home </a> </li> <li> <a href="#" onclick="javascript:showlayer('sm_1')"> Profile </a> <ul class="submenu" id="sm_1"> <li><a href="#">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="#">Resume</a></li> <li><a href="#">About Me</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="#"> Contact </a> </li> <li> <a href="#" onclick="javascript:showlayer('sm_2')"> Login </a> <ul class="submenu" id="sm_2"> <li><a href="#">Friends</a></li> <li><a href="#">Family</a></li> <li><a href="#">Admin</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> Code: ul, li { margin:0; border:0; padding:0; list-style:none; } #Nav { font-size:11px; color:#3b5d14; font-weight:bold; padding:4px; height:30px; font-family: Lucida Sans; } #Nav .menu li { /*background:url(Images/Light/Left-Menu.png) left top no-repeat;*/ height:30px; float:left; margin-right:10px; } #Nav .menu li a { color:#F1F1F1; width: 75px; text-decoration:none; padding:0 10px; height:30px; line-height:30px; display:block; float:left; padding:0 26px 0 10px; background:url(Images/Light/Right-Menu-Off.png) right top no-repeat; font-family: Lucida Sans; } #Nav .menu li a:hover { color:#666666; background: url(Images/Light/MenuRight.png) right top no-repeat; } #Nav .menu li:hover { background: url(Images/Light/Menu-Hover.png) left top no-repeat; } #Nav ul .submenu { border:solid 1px #7ea3bb; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; /*border-top:none;*/ background:#FFFFFF; position:relative; top:1px; width:100px; padding:6px 0; clear:both; z-index:2; display:none; filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=90);opacity:.95 } #Nav ul .submenu li { background:none; display:block; float:none; margin:0 6px; border:0; height:auto; line-height:normal; /*border-top:solid 1px #DEDEDE;*/ } #Nav .submenu li a { background:none; display:block; float:none; padding:6px 6px; margin:0; border:0; height:auto; color:#105cbe; line-height:normal; } #Nav .submenu li a:hover { background:#ebf4fa; } 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. 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. |
