CSS - Selected Menu Item To Have Different Color

I have a CSS menu. How to I remove the RIGHT border for that last link item? I tried a bunch of stuff, I can change the colour of it but I can't seem to get rid of it.

Hi,

I need to adjust only the 1st link(for 1st menu item) of my main menu. I have used pat pat template and have managed to apply a background image for the first item. Here is the css:

Code:

#first-suckerfish-vertical{
background:url(../images/menutop.jpg) no-repeat;
height:75px;
margin-top:-2.5px !important;
margin-top:-3px;
position:relative;
}

Now to apply style on the main menu item, i use a.mainlevel.
but i cant use the a.mainlevel..coz it will adjust all the links. I need to apply style only to the first link of my menu.

I am wondering if there's a way in css to access a class from another class or id. I already have this style(#first-suckerfish-vertical) for the 1st menu item. is it possible now to access the a.mainlevel from it..

Thx

Hey Guys, was hoping someone could look at my code and tell me what is wrong. My website (http://www.ecbsa.co.za/) refuses to show what page i am on in the menu by highlighting it etc. Here is the CSS:

Hi everyone,

I was wondering what I would have to do to get an image to be above an in-line horizontal menu when it is is hovered upon.

Here is my css so far, right now on hover I have it changing color with text-shadow. I would like to keep that along with the image above. I have seen some tutorials using about using spans but nothing worked. Thanks in advance!

Code:

.nav ul{list-style-type:none; margin:0 auto; padding:0; width:600px;  height:50px; padding-left:500px; padding-top:100px} .nav li {display:inline; padding-right:15px } .nav a {text-decoration:none; color:white;} .nav a:hover {color: #0C0; text-shadow:2px 2px 2px white;}

I'm a CSS newbie, so forgive me if I'm going about this the wrong way entirely. I'm trying to build a website with a menu that changes the source of an iFrame. So I have:

Code:

<html>
<body>
<div>**MENU**</div>
<div><iframe id="contentFrame" src="home.htm"></iframe></div>
</body>
</html>

Clicking a menu item, say "Contact Us", changes the src of the iFrame using:

Code:

<a href="javascript:document.getElementById('contentFrame').src='ContactUs.htm'">Contact Us</a>

The menu is pure CSS, with each item underlining as it's rolled over, and some submenus that show up when hovering.

What I'm looking to do is have the selected menu item have a different text color. So when you click "Contact Us", that item will change color and stay that other color while navigating the ContactUs.htm page in the iFrame.

Is that even remotely do-able? I saw some examples where you use body classes and id's to match the id of the menu item to the body class of the related page. However, I think that would require loading completely separate pages (with the same menu, header, and footer code). I want to avoid the entire page flickering when changing content.

I don't seem to be able to access the body class value of the page being loaded in the iFrame. Is that possible to do?

Thanks for any guidance you all could offer.

Hi. I am having dificulty getting a menu item to change colour and background colour when mouse over

http://www.des-otoole.co.uk/HC2010/holidayclub.php

any reason as it is at the end of the style sheet code

Code:

#tabnav a:hover
{
	background: #bfbfbf; 
	color: #f05320;
}

Alright - so I just changed my Java Script based navigation menu over to a CSS based menu for better search engine crawling and easy of use.

Here's what I want, and can't seem to do: The original font color of a the links is "white". Easy enough. When you mouse over the link it turns light grey. Looks great! This part works wonders.

Here's the problem...When you visit a page in the navigation, the "hover: change color to grey" doesn't work anymore. Instead of remains solid white.

Is there a fix/trick to making it work so that always always when you hover over these links they change to grey. Whether the link is active, or already visited, it turns grey during hover.

Thank for your help! To see this in action visit Window Film and More.com and take a look at the left navigation.

I found this CSS sample over the internet..
http://www.crafta.com/look1.html
look that it keeps the active menu yellow color, from the main list until the sub and sub-sub list
im triying to do some like that on my menu

http://www.crafta.com/te2.html

but no same result and i have no CSS skills... could you please take a look into that.. any help will be apreciated.

thanks

Hi,

Is there any way to change the color of the menu text for that current page? For example when I'm on the 'About Us' page on my website, I want the text to be blue or #00175d to be precise.

I am not very good at coding or editing HTML/CSS, so I don't know how to do this.

All I know is that my website has a class on the body, and each menu item has a unique ID.

My website is: http://firstcareambulance .org/
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Here's the code: Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Sample Font Shorthand</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
body		{ margin: 0; behavior: url("../htcmime.php?file=csshover2.htc") }
div		{  }
table		{ width: 100% }
.sttable	{ background-color: #000080 }
tr		{  }
td		{ vertical-align: top }
.sttd		{ font: bold 12px Arial #FFFFFF }
</style>
</head>

<body>
<table class="sttable">
   <tr>
      <td class="sttd">Catalog&nbsp;>&nbsp;Categories</td>
      <td class="sttd">Cart&nbsp;Total:&nbsp;&nbsp;$&nbsp;0.00</td>
      <td class="sttd">Date</td>
   </tr>
</table>

</html>

Would someone please tell me why the color of the text isn't rendering white?

I'm making a game that revolves around four teams. For developmental purposes, I made the team colors blue, red, green, and yellow. And now I'm at the stage where I'm designing a layout. The theme is set in the 1800's, and my first idea was to have a different color scheme for each team (in accordance with their team color,) but my layouts ended up having nothing to do with the 1800's -- just colors (I want to give a very real effect to this website.) So I tried making a universal layout with a sort of tea-stained, burnt edges, parchment look, with a black background, but I had trouble making it tile nicely (partly the burnt edges, partly the stains in the paper.) So this is where I am. I need help designing a layout! I can change the team colors to whatever, I have beginner/intermediate photoshop skills (though, I'm quite competent,) and all suggestions are warmly welcomed!

hello,

about the well-known color warnings (and in the best interest of good accessibility practices) is setting "background-color: inherit" a proper solution? it supresses the errors, but does it solve the problem of having good contrast between different elements/the use of custom stylesheets?

i'm asking because i have a stylesheet with different classes for text which are used over different background-colors (from the parent elements). so unless i make a class for each possible application of these text styles, i don't see a way to specify a fixed background-color...

i hope i explained my issue properly...
thanks for any thoughts or suggestions on this

I'm trying to use a simple background image to dress up my navigation tabs. When I set the <li> to a fixed with and height, both FF and IE ignore this; thus my graphic gets chopped off when the navigation tab is shorter than the graphic.

I'm scratching my head and have tried just about everything.

Here's How it is Presenting-Link to my Website

Here's my css:

Code:

li.navbg {
    width: 75px;
    height: 20px;
    display: inline;
    margin-right: 5px;
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-bottom: 3px;
    padding-left: 7px;
    padding-right: 5px;
    background-image: url(/images/navbg.png);
    background-attachment: scroll;
    background-position: bottom center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    list-style: none;
    background-color: #000;  
}

My xhtml is a simple:

Code:

<li class="navbg">Navigation Title</li>

My gratitude ahead of time!
