CSS - Changing From Vertical Drop Down To Drop Up

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.
(My drop down is vertically aligned on the left.)
(bits of the code that relate to the menu)

PHP Code:
.btn1 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 200px; } 
.btn2 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 240px; }

.btn6 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 400px; }
.btn7 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 440px; } 
.btn8 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 480px; }
.link1 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 240px; }

.link8 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 520px; }
.link9 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 560px; }

<script type="text/javascript" src="drop_down.js"></script>
the "nav" is referring to a bit of js, and this is in my header. Also not sure if it's correct, but I can worry about that later.

Hello all,

I'm trying to fix my drop down so it goes straight down. I originally had it so it was reading the javascript but after adjusting it quite a bit, it spans the whole parent nav bar and is completely in css. I don't mind that it's in css but I want visitors to be able to see it in ie because ie own's a good 75% of the browser population. Here is my site, i still have the javascript file in there but it doesn't do anything anymore. Any clues on how to get it so it goes straight down and is viewable in ie? Site

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:

Hi there,

First I should mention, I have been doing a lot of research to learn CSS, and this is basically the first time implementing it for my company's website. I have A LOT to learn still! I'm using Dreamweaver MX and MX 2004 (2004 seems to keep crashing on me today, and i can't run it)...anyways...

I am working on a dropdown menu using pure CSS....WHICH is a library item that I am dropping into a table cell below the top banner on the index page, and others.

However, I'm having problems with some styling and the best way to work some things.

First, if you click he

Interface

I hope someone can help me!! I'm so frustrated!



You can see HOW I want the nav to look.

I seem to have a problem with the aligning of the text, as well as roll over effects: basically, I would like my nav button to turn blue w/ white text. And I'd like to have my buttons closer together, having it look as close as possible to my interface img above.

Also having issues w/ IE...which I assume would happen.

Here is my CSS and HTML code (remember, no body or title tags because it's an lbi item:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style>

#nav, #nav ul {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;


}

#nav a {
display: block;
width: 10em;
color: rgb(0,50,94);
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
text-decoration: none;
}

#nav li {
float: left;
width: auto;


}

#nav li ul {
position: absolute;
background: #C5D1DC;
width: 10em;
left: -999em;
margin: 3px;
border: 1px solid rgb(0,50,94);
padding:5px;

}

#nav li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul {
left: auto;
}

.button {
background-color: #C5D1DC;
padding: 3px;
border-top: 1px solid #003A66;
border-right: 0px solid #003A66;
border-bottom: 1px solid #003A66;
border-left: 0px solid #003A66;
}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript"><!--//--><![CDATA[//><!--

var sfEls = document.getElementById("nav").getElementsByTagName("LI");
for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) {

}

(IF you need me to, I can send you my site files over email) I really really appreciate all the help you guy's can give me! I'm on a tight deadline, and I really want to use CSS. If I can't get this to work, I have to take out the drop down menu all together and go w/ a boring static menu system that will add in numerous extra pages....

THANKS!

Hey folks,

having a bit of trouble with a css-based drop down menu in IE7. It works fine in IE8/FF/Chrome etc., but not 7.

The problem is when the rollover pops out, if you try and navigate down through the dropdown, it disappears.

The issue can be seen here.

Here's the code:
Code:

#mainMenu {
width:225px;
}

* + html #mainMenu {
margin-top:0;
}

#mainMenu li {
font-size:12px;
text-align:right;
margin-left:5px;
position:relative;
}

* html #mainMenu li { margin-left:10px; }

#mainMenu li a, #mainMenu li#clock {
background:none transparent;
display:block;
width:221px;
height:28px;
padding:8px 5px 0 0;
border-bottom:1px solid #e1dbcb;
color:#eee;
}

#mainMenu li#clock {
text-align:center;
padding-left:5px;
width:216px;
font:small-caps bold 12px Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
color:#e1dbcb;
}

#mainMenu li a:hover {
background:#e1dbcb;
color:#21729d;
}

	li ul {
	position: absolute;
	left: 225px;
	top: -1px;
	display: none;
	border:solid #e1dbcb;
	border-width:1px 5px 1px 0; 
	z-index:200;
	}

	* html li ul { left:220px; }

	#mainMenu li li {
	background:#21729d;
	}

	li ul li a {
	display: block;
	text-decoration: none;
	}
	
	li:hover ul, li.over ul { 
	display: block; 
	}

Thanks!

I've posted this before and the last time I was using a really bad workaround to get this drop down to work in IE. Now I'm using the suckerfish method, and it seems to work fine in firefox, opera, ie7, but in ie6 the drop down is offset and I think it's due to the container being offset. I'm not sure how I can make this work in ie6. Also there is supposed to be a background in the dropdown, but that's not showing up in ie6 either.

Please help me if you can, much appreciated.

I've tried so many things and can't get it right so I erased what I originally had to show all.

Code:

<div id="main-nav">
				  	<ul>
						<li><a href="#"><img src="images/btn-roster.jpg" alt="Roster" width="71" height="36" border="0"></a></li>
						<li><a href="#"><img src="images/btn-events.jpg" alt="Events" width="75" height="36" border="0"></a></li>
						<li><a href="#"><img src="images/btn-multimedia.jpg" alt="Multimedia" width="108" height="36" border="0"></a></li>
						<li><a href="#"><img src="images/btn-info.jpg" alt="Info" width="61" height="36" border="0"></a></li>

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.

Hi All,

You may have come across this several times and may heard of people complain about this several times too. But unfortunately, after browsing 30 websites in my google search, I tried everything and cant seem to get it to work.

Basically, I have a CSS drop down on my website (Site is made up of HTML/CSS and uses nested DIVs throughout). When I have a iframe (width=100%), below the horizontal navigation at the top, it just doesnt hover over it. Part of the drop down menu hides behind the iframe.

I have constantly read to have parent menu item have a z-index as a higher value than all child divs, provided there is a position set (which i do! - position:relative; ).

But still no luck!


My CSS Code:

.menu1 {
float:left;
z-index:30;
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-left: 0;
position:relative;

}


.menu1 ul {
margin:0;
list-style-type:none;
z-index:25;




}
.menu1 ul li {
float:left;
position:relative;
background-image: url(../images/layout/img_dash.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right;
z-index:20;



}
.menu1 ul li a, .menu1 ul li a:visited {
float:left;
display:block;
text-decoration:none;
color:#fff;
line-height:35px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 16px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
padding-left: 16px;
z-index:20;
}





My HTML:

My website is internal one for work, and is not uploaded anywhere so unfortunately cannot provide a link for you to view it.

Thanks!

Hitting the IE6 wall. The menu is pure CSS and works fine in all browsers except IE6 (and Im sure below).. It doesn't display the drop down at all in IE6..

Link to site: (for anyone who can help)
rs.vuemarketing.com

I am trying to create a menu [css / html].
Home | Live Music | Info | Options | Contact

The Live Music tab:
live music > hover over to reveal >
970 px wide div containing music styles jazz , blues, soul etc>
hover over to reveal>
970 px wide div containing band1, band 2, band 3 etc

The Options Tab is a basic drop down menu

After several days of comparing / reading / going round in circles, I am stumped and hope someone can provide a very basic css + html for the problem. The bands' div needs to contain a bg image of 970 x 250.

I spent a long time doing a similar menu but it doesn't do what I need it to do and is restricted by the css.

Help would be really appreciated. TIA
