Similar TutorialsHi I've been trying make an <a> anchor nested within a <li> list tag appear on the same row as the bullet, with no avail. It's hard for me to explain exactly, so I've uploaded two images: This is how I'd like the list items to appear, substract the extra list item which I have no idea why it appears the Image 1 This is how the list items appear: Image 2 Here's the HTML: Code: <div id="primary-sidebar"> <div class="shadow"> <div class="tlc"></div> <div class="trc"></div> <h2 class="box-title"> Games list </h2> <div class="box-content-lhz"> <ul id="games-list"> <li> <a href="/intersection.html?anarchy_online">Anarachy Onlins</a> </li> <li> <a href="/intersection.html?Aion">Aion</a> </li> <li> <a href="/intersection.html">Aries Online</a> </li> <li> <a href="/intersection.html">Cabal Online</a> </li> <li> <a href="/intersection.html">Eve Online</a> </li> <li> <a href="/intersection.html">Guild Wars</a> </li> <li> <a href="/intersection.html">Harrier</a> </li> <li> <a href="/intersection.html">Jaxsos' world</a> </li> <li> <a href="/intersection.html">Kal Online</a> </li> <li> <a href="/intersection.html">Lemmings</a> </li> <li> <a href="/intersection.html">Leiviathan Online</a> </li> <li> <a href="/intersection.html">Party Online</a> </li> <li> <a href="/intersection.html">World of Warcraft (US)</a> </li> <li> <a href="/intersection.html">World of Warcraft (EU)</a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="blc"></div> <div class="brc"></div> </div> </div> Here's the CSS Code: ul { padding-left: 2em; list-style: square; } #games-list { list-style-image: url("/_images/bullet1.gif"); list-style-position: inside; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } #games-list li { } #games-list a{ font-weight: bold; font-family: verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: .9em; color: #424547; text-decoration: none; display: block; background: url(/_images/sprite-list.png) top left no-repeat; padding: 5px; padding-left: 20px; } #games-list a:hover{ background-position: left -40px; color: #00a2ff; } I'd appreciate anyway help at all, as this has been on my mind for a while. 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! 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/ 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? hi, i was wondering if anyone knw any links to ultra super dooper cool websites for css navigations. I want to learn how to do ace ones. I have already googleed about, I found the sliding doors on ALA an stuff but i need that little bit more cool tutorials prefrably!! I did find one cool one athttp://www.bulkherbstore.com/ thanks tom. 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.

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. 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.

I appreciate your time and effort! Hi, Ive been using images for the navigation but really should be using css so have tried to code it but am having a few problems. If you look at this page you will see how the navigation should look, then if you look at this page you will see my css attempt, i'm only doing the sub nav (#navigation2) for now... Any ideas where im going wrong? Thanks, Mike Hey guys I have a page I am working on and I am running into a little problem. I created a navigation bar using css and now I want to link up the navigation bar. The problem is when I link it it turns it to a blue hyperlink. I know I can change the css to get rid of that, but I also want part of the page to look like and be set up like a regular blue hyperlink. How can I get around this. Here is the page I am working on (URL address blocked: See forum rules) I want the positive and negative tests to be normal hyperlinks but I want the nav bar to stay in the css I set up thanks for the help Sean I have a menu, click he http://progra.ro/demomenu/ This menu not appear correctly in Internet Explorer 6 due to "SPAN" element. Anyone know how to fix this problem leaving the span element intact in HTML ? All browser show the menu correctly, except IE6.Thanks! I'm editing a CSS drop down navigation that uses <ul> and <li>. Is there a way to change the background color & rollover in just one of the dropdowns? The code is below in two sections. I've highlighted the list that I'd like to change the background color of. Thanks for your help!

However when you mouse over the box colour changes, but the text only changes when you are DIRECTLY over the text. How can I fix this? Check the communities drop down for an example of my problem. Here is my temp site URL: edit: I can't post links yet?!?! PM me for link Thanks! Hi devshed, First post here so I hope someone wouldn't mind giving me some help with a layout problem I'm having which I think is probably CSS related. The navbar div should be at the top of the maincontent div and to the right of the sidebar div with no gaps. I can get the desired results in FF but in IE there is a whitespace gap between the top of maincontent and navbar divs. Unfortunately I don't have it online yet to show you because I need to upgrade my hosting package first. If anyone can spare a few minutes and make any suggestions I would be very grateful.

Since we are working in relative units, it's best not to use padding on the sidebar. It will be added to the overall width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width. 2. Since em units are used for the sidebar value, be aware that its width will vary with different default text sizes. 3. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the ".twoColHybLtHdr #sidebar1 p" rule. */ .twoColHybLtHdr #sidebar1 { float: left; width: 12em; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */ background: #EBEBEB; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */ padding: 15px 0; /* top and bottom padding create visual space within this div */ } .twoColHybLtHdr #sidebar1 h3, .twoColHybLtHdr #sidebar1 p { margin-left: 10px; /* the left and right margin should be given to every element that will be placed in the side columns */ margin-right: 10px; } /* Tips for mainContent: 1. The space between the mainContent and sidebar1 is created with the left margin on the mainContent div. No matter how much content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain. You can remove this left margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1 ends. 2. Be aware it is possible to cause float drop (the dropping of the non-floated mainContent area below the sidebar) if an element wider than it can contain is placed within the mainContent div. WIth a hybrid layout (percentage-based overall width with em-based sidebar), it may not be possible to calculate the exact width available. If the user's text size is larger than average, you will have a wider sidebar div and thus, less room in the mainContent div. You should be aware of this limitation - especially if the client is adding content with Contribute. 3. In the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This may help avoid several IE-specific bugs. */ .twoColHybLtHdr #mainContent { margin: 0 20px 0 13em; /* the right margin can be given in percentages or pixels.

I'm not quite sure why, any help? My navigation displays correctly in IE 7+ and Mozilla Firefox, however in IE Under 7 the navigation places a double line and adds additional padding to the navigation. Does anyone have a remedy for this problem? Please look at this page in IE, http://www.atramember.com then in Firefox. THe navigation up at the top is all messed up and I can't figure out why (messed up in FF). Thanks. Tom I have ran into a bit of a problem getting the navigation to show all on one line when in a div set to 765px (The width I need the site to be...). The div is required for the rest of my site removing it is not an option.

I have a bit of an issue with a drop down script I'm working on. It's a CSS menu built from ul/li/a tags with an iframe thrown in for IE6 sake. My problem is 2 fold. The first problem is in firefox. There is 2-3px of mystery padding/margining on my tags. I didn't put it there, nor does it show up in browsers other than firefox. My second problem is a safari 2 issue. The dropdowns appear to be hidden behind some kind of container, very weird if you ask me. I'm using jQuery for my script manipulation (if you don't know about it, learn about it. Its laziness is astounding!) [Edit: link updated] http://programmer .whipplehill .com/wes/newDD/list/getPageList.asp Any help would be great! Thanks --Wes |
