CSS - Converting An Existing Menu To Hover And Drop Down
Hello,
This is my first post, so let my start by saying thanks and hopefully this can be of some help. I work in a college, and I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the CSS used. I also apologize in advance if my issue is simple, but I looked through the rules and resources sections and I felt my issue was somewhat specific. In an effort to save time and frustration, I'll put it in the simplest terms I can: I'm trying to make the site I have control over have a menu that drops down upon mouseover. The site is he www dot ccm dot edu/admissions The menu I'd like to make expandable on mouseover is the "Things to Do" menu on the right side of the page. For example, here's how another site does it: www dot ecc dot edu/admissions You can see the menu on the left side of the page, "Admissions Checklist". I show that site as an example because we're using the same templates. I inquired as to how they achieved the menu on their site, but they unfortunately didn't know. If possible, I'd like to have the menu expand upon mouseover instead of a click. Below are the copied CSS codes for each menu. The site I want the menu to be able to expand on mouseover: Code: /* TodoList */
.AC-TodoList {position:absolute;top:7px;right:-27px;background:#eeeac3;width:164px;padding:19px 13px 0px;}
.AC-TodoList DIV {padding-bottom:14px;text-align:center;}
.AC-TodoHeader {padding-left:21px;}
.AC-TodoHeader H4 {background:url(../images/admissions/header_thingsToDo.gif) no-repeat;width:116px;height:14;text-indent:-9999px;overflow:hidden;}
.AC-TodoList .AC-TodoCheck {display:none;}
#zone1 .AC-TodoList A {display:block;background:url(../images/admissions/bg_todoSm.gif) no-repeat;width:153px;height:22px;padding:8px 5px 4px;font-weight:bold;color:#8d8a6e;}
#zone1 .AC-TodoActive A {background-position:0px -34px;color:#fff;}
#zone1 .AC-TodoComplete A {background-position:0px -68px;width:128px;padding-left:30px;text-align:left;}
#zone1 .AC-TodoList A.large {background-image:url(../images/admissions/bg_todoLg.gif);height:36px;line-height:1.4em;}
#zone1 .AC-TodoActive A.large {background-position:0px -48px;}
#zone1 .AC-TodoComplete A.large {background-position:0px -96px;}
.AC-TodoListCt .controls {display:none;}
And the site that already has the effect I'd like to use:
/* To Do List */
#AC-TodoList {margin:0px -20px 0px -24px;background-color:#586A3E;padding-left:24px;}
#AC-TodoList INPUT {display:none;}
#AC-TodoList .AC-Spacer {display:none;}
#AC-TodoList .controls {display:none;}
.AC-TodoHeader {display:block;width:220px;height:32px;cursor:pointer;}
.AC-TodoHeader H4 {margin:0px;padding:0px;font-size:1em;font-weight:normal;line-height:1.6em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#f9e9b6;padding:0px 0px 0px 5px}
.AC-TodoHeader H4 A {color:#f9e9b6;}
.AC-TodoOpen H4 {background-color:#7F0000;position:absolute;width:233px;height:32px; }
.AC-TodoOpen h4 A {width:238px;height:32px; background-color:#7F0000;}
.AC-TodoContent {background-color:#ffffff; position:absolute;width:238px;height:0px;overflow:hidden; z-index:999; color:#F9E9B6;}
.AC-TodoIncomplete {background:url(../images/admissions/todo_checked.gif) no-repeat 7px 8px transparent; border-bottom:solid 1px #C9C9CA;}
.AC-TodoIncomplete a {display:block;padding:4px 10px 2px 30px;color:#7F0000;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal;}
.AC-TodoComplete {background:url(../images/admissions/todo_checkedCom.gif) no-repeat 4px 8px transparent; border-bottom:solid 1px #C9C9CA; background-color:#B2B3B4;}
.AC-TodoComplete a {display:block;padding:4px 10px 2px 30px;color:#ffffff;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal;}
.AC-TodoFooter {background:url(../images/admissions/todo_footer_bg.gif) no-repeat;width:238px;height:41px;cursor:pointer;}
I apologize if I'm breaking any rules, or my issue is simplistic. I especially apologize if my issue isn't well illustrated because of the no links policy. But thank you in advance to anyone that might be able to help. Similar TutorialsHi everyone, I am having an issue with IE7 (imagine that) with a css drop down nav menu. On IE8 and Chrome the menus work flawlessly but in on IE7 the menu is behind the pictures on the page. The page is located at www.philadler.com/newlayout2.php. At first I thought it may be a z-index problem but the nav bar is set to 1000 and 900 depending on the menu and the thumbnails are set to 100. As of now the site validates on both css and xhtml 1.0 transitional. I can list any code if needed. Thanks for any help Phil Hi there, im trying to make a website for a friend and im having a little diffuculty with my drop down menu the site is here bbk.ac.uk/~fsando01/watma/index.html when you hover over the link entitled services in the global nav bar and proceed to hover down to the first submenu link which is abs repair, youll notice the background image i set as hover state for the services link disapears, i want it to stay there like they have got on marks and spencers website... Please if anyone could help id be very grateful... ive tried everthing i can think of HellO~! I'm current trying to code a website for someone, but I'm having some problems getting the menu to work properly in Firefox. It works great in Chrome and Safari but I have no idea how to make it work properly for firefox. So basically, I have a drop line menu, but instead the sub links all showing up in the same spot when I hover, I want the sub links to show up under the link I'm hovering over. Now, I managed to get this working great by just changing the position of the sub ul and il hover to relative. URL But in Firefox, when you hover over a link, that link expands to the width of the sub navigation and pushes the other links to the right. It just looks terrible and I don't know how to fix this. URL I've tried searching for a solution, but no luck! I'd really appreciate if someone could enlighten me on how this could be fixed? Or if it's even possible? I'm still new to working with drop downs and would love the help! Advance thanks for those who read this! Hopefully someone can help me out with this! EDIT: Looks like my images wont show up after all . Hopefully you will all know what I mean. CSS CODE: Code: * {

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:

Now to my problem, if I do the following: add this row to the bottom of the css menu it works fine and all visited links turn white. Code: /*This work*/
ul.dropdown a:visited { color: #fff; text-decoration: none; }
And what I want to do is to make this work for active links only, so my quastion is why don't the following work, ie, the active links don't turn white, why, are there no active links? Code: /*The following don't work*/
ul.menu a:active { color: #fff; text-decoration: underline; }
You can see the menu here http://www.tdsoft.se Hi, I am hoping someone can help me please. I am looking for some code (CSS, PHP or otherwise) to be able to create a drop down menu (with flyout) on mouseover of some pre-existing pictures. I have tried to take some codes which "sort of" do what I need but I'm unable to modify them to do what I need them to. It seems like the varying widths of the PNGs is a sticking point. At the minute I have a navigation bar consisting of 5 PNGs of same height but different widths. I had intended it to work so that when you click on these top links you are given a page for that section, and along the top of that page are "sub links". However, I have changed my mind and would like to keep the current images, but on rollover have a drop down menu appear with the different "sub links" instead of having them on the top of each page. For example I have a PNG which says "About Clan Wars". I would like a mouseover to show a Dropdown with flyout like: >What Is Clan Wars? >What are the rules ----> D Class Rules ----> C Class Rules >Clan Wars 1 ----> Fight Card ----> Pictures ----> Videos >Clan Wars 2 ----> Fight Card ----> Pictures ----> Videos I hope that makes sense to whoever is reading. Thank you Sean I am a photographer for a website and I know very little about anything other than basic html. With the website lady gone on a trip around the world for a year, I ended up being the person to attempt to modify our side menu to show an additional column of subcategories. I tinkered around with the code we had and I managed to get this to work in Firefox, however in IE7 the contents of the menu shift down a few pixels when you hover over a category. To view my problem, go to scannerparts.biz I've messed around with this for a few days and everything has become a big confusing mess so I have no choice but give in and ask for help. I thank anyone in advance for any assistance you can offer. -Emerson Here is the code: hover.css Code:

Hi, How do i change the colour of the background hover colour of a drop down menu? I can only seem to change the background of the normal state. Any ideas? Hello All, I have a left navigation bar that seems to be working perfectly in Firefox and Safari. However (I know, you've heard this before!), when I open the page in IE, there is no list appearing whatsoever. When I hover in a place outside of where the ul is supposed to be, I can find where the menu is, but it is not functioning well. Could someone please take a look and provide some insight? I have tried a few different things but they are mostly guesses as this is pushing my understanding of CSS a bit. The menu is supposed to appear under the "Select a Tool" text... 029c92a.netsolhost.com/brushes.html Best Regards, Colin I developed a drop down menu for the current site I'm working on. I used several on-line tutorials and the outcome was variable. Everything seems to work great in IE after the hack to fix the :hover elements, but I have never been able to get the drop downs to work in Firefox 3, Chrome, or Safari. Unfortunately I do not have the ability to test in a previous version of Firefox at the moment so I am unsure if it is just a version issue from when the tutorials were written. The page in progress may be viewed at clcah.org.previewdns.com The specific CSS can be found in clc_common.css under the MENU section. Any insight would be greatly appreciated as I only anticipated trouble with IE. 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. Here is the source for the above: Code:

Any help is really appreciated thanks. drlinklove.com/drew/index4.html Some of the navigation items have drop-down menus. It seems that sometimes the drop-down menu disappears before the user has a chance to click one of the options. Anyone have a guess to how I can make it more stable? 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; } .btn3 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 280px; } .btn4 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 320px; } .btn5 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 360px; } .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; } .link2 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 280px; } .link3 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 320px; } .link4 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 360px; } .link5 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 400px; } .link6 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 440px; } .link7 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 480px; } .link8 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 520px; } .link9 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 560px; } #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; } #nav a { display: block; width: 100px; } #nav li { width: 100px; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; width: 100px; left: -9999px; display: none; top: 0; z-index: 3; } #nav li:hover ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } #nav li:over ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } PHP Code: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn1" src="../mainbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MainBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn2" src="../blogbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="BlogBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link1"><a href=""><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="bMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link2"><a href="#"><img src="../anmbtn.gif" alt="bAnimeBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="#"><img src="../mgabtn.gif" alt="bMangaBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="#"><img src="../gmebtn.gif" alt="bGameBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="#"><img src="../bookbtn.gif" alt="bBookBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img class="btn3" src="../musebtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MuseBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link2"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="mMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../pmbtn.gif" alt="mPoemBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../stybtn.gif" alt="mStoryBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../drmbtn.gif" alt="mDreamBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img class="btn4" src="../oddbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ComicBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="cMainBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBart.htm"><img class="btn5" src="../artbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ArtBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="aMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="aRecentBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../gaibtn.gif" alt="aGaiaBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img class="btn6" src="../picbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="PicsBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="pMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="pRecentBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBfaq.htm"><img class="btn7" src="../faqbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="FaqBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBcon.htm"><img class="btn8" src="../contactbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ContactBtn"></a> </li> </ul> <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. 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! When you hover over Contact Us/info the menu that drops down by the way i'm using the pixo plugin for that the words end up being seen through the tab.. and the news thing that scrolls that is using the plugin Announcement and vertical scroll news How do you fix that? This is a problem in Firefox, IE etc.. is the url mcshanesnursery dot com can please someone tell me why the code below does not work. and please explain how do I make it work. Code:
<style>
a.home {
width: 63px;
height:47px;

I had to make a hover menu that was full CSS, and i couldn't make it work in IE, because of the old issue of IE not supporting :hover for anything else but the a tag. So i modded some example i found on the internet that was using js for ie, attached through behaviours, in the css file. The url is this. The menu works fine in mozilla but it has a problem in IE, and i think it's css, not js. If you hover over the Products button and then over one of the items that appear, the item right under it will get a few pixels higer, which causes the whole menu to move down as you movewr over those ites. And it's annoying. Can some one give me a hint please? I've tried all sorts of things, adding empty level 3 menus to the items that don't need it, but still nothing... Thanks in advance... My nav menu works 100% in IE8, FF, Opera and Chrome... but it's doing something weird in IE7 that can kindof affect it's functionality but I have no idea really where to look for the problem. It's most easily seen on two pages. The front page, he http://www.skullcrow.com ...and on the product pages he http://www.skullcrow.com/proddisp.php?id=skull01 On the main page when you hover over the menu and get the drop downs, if you move your cursor so you're also over the text div in the background, the menu goes away. You can tell easiest when viewing the "Community" and "Help" lists. On the product display page is the same thing over a larger area. Anytime you move the cursor to a part of the menu that's covering the text or (only some of?) the background div, it disappears. The menu is obviously on top, and this problem does not occur in basically any other browser. The main reason I need to fix this is that these menus will probably only get bigger and the navbar will become barely unusable in IE7 after a while. I don't exactly what code I would need to post for this, I was just hoping for some general information that could point me in the right direction. Thanks for any help. Hello, I'm trying to create a menu for my NGO to replace the one they have currently but I'm running into some problems. The highlight color in this photo is one - how do you get around this issue? I'd like to keep the colors the same, if possible, but I recognize that might not be acceptable. the menu img is at kburke - org slash menuhover.jpg Thanks! here's the code: /*** DEMO SKIN ***/ .sf-menu { float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; font:11px Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; } .sf-menu a { border-left: 1px solid #fff; border-top: 1px solid #CFDEFF; padding: .75em 1em; text-decoration:none; color: #FFFFFF; } .sf-menu a, .sf-menu a:visited { /* visited pseudo selector so IE6 applies text colour*/ color: #ffffff; } .sf-menu li { background: #b6791e; } .sf-menu li ul li a { color: #769841; } .sf-menu li li a:active, .sf-menu li li a:focus { color: #ffffff; } .sf-menu li li { background: #ffffff; } .sf-menu li li li { background: #ffffff; } .sf-menu li:hover, .sf-menu li.sfHover, .sf-menu a:focus, .sf-menu a:hover, .sf-menu a:active { background: #769841; outline: 0; color: #FFFFFF; } /*** arrows **/ .sf-menu a.sf-with-ul { padding-right: 2.25em; min-width: 1px; /* trigger IE7 hasLayout so spans position accurately */ } .sf-sub-indicator { position: absolute; display: block; right: .75em; top: 1.05em; /* IE6 only */ width: 10px; height: 10px; text-indent: -999em; overflow: hidden; background: url('../images/arrows-ffffff.png') no-repeat -10px -100px; /* 8-bit indexed alpha png.
