CSS - Ie Display Problems With Dropdown Menu
I'm trying to update my main navigation bar for my site into a something a bit more useful and clean. I've gotten it to work pretty much exactly as I want to in FF and Opera, but of course it's displaying very wrong in IE.
I thought I had found the code needed to fix IE, but I've either used it incorrectly, or it's just not the right bit of code. Here's a page with the navbar live: http://www.skullcrow.com/community_upload.php Here's the css being used: Code: /* horizontal drop down navbar - basic formatting */
#centering_wrap {width:100%; position:relative;}
#menu {margin:0 auto;width: 955px;font: bold 11px/16px arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:#666;} /* Main width and default font properties */
#menu ul {list-style: none;margin: 0;padding: 0;float: left; line-height:42px;} /* Main format for top categories */
#menu ul ul{ position:relative; top:35px; left:5%; width: 90%;} /* child element widths */
#menu ul li{ background-position:bottom left;} /* set nav bg position */
#menu ul li:hover{ background-position:top left;} /* set nav bg position hover position */
/* Positioning popouts (2nd level only) */
#menu li {position: relative;} /* make "ABSOLUTE" work correctly */
#menu ul ul {position: absolute; z-index: 500;} /* prevent menu from "pushing" contents down */
#menu ul ul ul {position: absolute; top: 0; left: 100%;} /* move child elements to the side */
/* Hover behavior */
div#menu ul ul,
div#menu ul li:hover ul ul,
div#menu ul ul li:hover ul ul
{display: none;}
div#menu ul li:hover ul,
div#menu ul ul li:hover ul,
div#menu ul ul ul li:hover ul
{display: block;}
/* Additional text formatting */
#menu a {display: block;width: 100%;height: 100%;}
#menu ul ul li {
font: bold 11px/16px arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
border-width: 0px 1px 1px 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #ccc #323E6B #456594 #323E6B ;
margin: 0;
padding: 3px 4px;
background: #2B3344;
}
#menu ul ul a {color: #CCC;text-decoration: none;}
#menu ul ul a:hover {color: #FFF;background:#06F;}
...and here's the html from the menubar (which is contained in a separate php.includes, if that matters at all): Code: <div id="centering_wrap">
<div id="menu">
<ul style="width:195px;">
<li style="background-image:url(../images/nav_com_home.png);"><a href="http://www.skullcrow.com/" alt="Home"> </a>

...and finally, here's the small snippet of code I used up in the header of the main php file that I thought was suppose to fix the display issue but didn't: Code: <!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
body {
behavior: url(css/csshover3.htc);
font-size: 100%;
}
#menu ul li {float: left; width: 100%;}
#menu ul li a {height: 1%;}
#menu a, #menu h2 {
font: bold 0.7em/1.4em arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
That last bit is contained at the very of the header, and is the very last item before the </head> tag. In addition to the other 'adjustments', it's also suppose to be including the csshover3.htc file that I thought was suppose to fix a lot of display problems. The site I got that file from is he http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html Whatever help is always very appreciated. I'm still sort of a css newb, although I think I'm starting to understand more, but IE is a bastard and I think most web developers would probably agree. Thanks again. Similar Tutorialshey all, I have been working on a multilevel suckerfish menu tutorial and i have the following: http://www.wildhosting.co.uk/cssMenu/menu.php However, i am having a couple of final problems. 1) In FF the grey highlight colour does not seem to fill from top to bottom on the main menu. 2) In FF, When a sub menu (for the top option of the menu) appears the top border of the submenu overlaps the bottom border of the main menu. 3) In IE, the above are ok but the submenu appears a long way from where it should, ie 5cm to the right... any help would be great, thanks RF Hello. I'm trying to create a CSS/SPRY dropdown menu. It seems to work fine in Firefox but in IE 6 the dropdown goes horizontal until I mouse over then it goes verticle. Also how do I add black 1px border around each list item in the dropdown menu? I have tried but it tends to give the first Menu Item the border as well which doesnt work so well with the layout.

f\loat: left; background: transparent; } } i am trying to use the suckerfish dropdown menu. starting from the pretty example, i got it going in IE6 but it looked pretty off in mozilla. i tinkered around further the the IE code which changed things a bit there and made things look a bit better in mozilla but not much! my code is at http://www.fizzycherry.com/menutest.html - i would *really* appeciate any ideas. the main things really bugging me a how can i get the menu bar to fill the width of the screen in mozilla? my navbar div did this before i inserted the sub menus! once i tinkered with my css, placing padding on the links rather than the li elements, huge vertical gaps started appearing in the submenus in both IE and Mozilla, even with no margins padding and borders. i need to *add* a bottom border (same colour as background) to remove these gaps! why?? ideally i would like the submenus to look somethign like they do in ie6 but even if someone could just tell me how to make the bar fill the screen i'd be chuffed! it's best to get a visual of this one: www.viportals.com i'm talking about the buttons under the top banner. if you hover "Games", a drop down list appears. there is a 1pixel line between the "Games" button and its dropdown list (when you hover the "Games" button) which i want to get rid of, but can't. in IE, there are many horrible problems, probably due to the display:inline-block of the li a. the buttons are too tall and hang down below the bottom line of the horizontal bar, and the dropdown menu appears beside the "Games" button. i tried css Code: Original - css Code #sddm ul li a { padding-top: 0; padding-bottom: 0; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0; }
#sddm ul li a {
in my separate ie css file, but its the same here is all the code if you need it to gain a better understanding (css, html, and js). css Code: Original - css Code /* DROP-DOWN NAVIGATION MENU */ #sddm { margin: 0; padding: 0; z-index: 30; } #sddm li { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; float: left; } #sddm li a { display: inline-block; text-decoration: none; color:#495B20; background-color:#BAD36B; border-left: 2px solid #fff; border-top: 2px solid #fff; border-right: 2px solid #000; border-bottom: 2px solid #000; } #sddm li a:hover { background-color:#495B20; color:#BAD36B; border-left: 2px solid #000; border-top: 2px solid #000; border-right: 2px solid #fff; border-bottom: 2px solid #fff; text-decoration:none; } #sddm li:hover div { position: absolute; visibility: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #BAD36B; border-left: 2px solid #fff; border-top: 2px solid #fff; border-right: 2px solid #000; border-bottom: 2px solid #000; } #sddm li div { position: absolute; visibility: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #BAD36B; border-left: 2px solid #fff; border-top: 2px solid #fff; border-right: 2px solid #000; border-bottom: 2px solid #000; } #sddm li div:hover { background-color:#495B20; color:#BAD36B; border-left: 2px solid #000; border-top: 2px solid #000; border-right: 2px solid #fff; border-bottom: 2px solid #fff; } #sddm li div:hover a{ background: #495B20; color: #BAD36B; } #sddm li div a { position: relative; display: block; margin: 0; padding: 5px 10px; width: auto; white-space: nowrap; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border:none; font: 11px arial; } #sddm li div a:hover { text-shadow:#000; text-decoration:underline; border:none; } /* DROP-DOWN NAVIGATION MENU */ html Code: Original - html Code <div id='navbar'> <ul id="sddm"> <?php echo " <li> <a href='".get_home_link()."'> Home</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_category_link("name=all&page=1")."'"; ?> onmouseover='mopen("m1")' <?php echo " onmouseout='mclosetime()'> Games</a> <div id='m1' onmouseover='mcancelclosetime()' onmouseout='mclosetime()'> "; $categories = get_categories("htmlize=true&order=order&sort=ASC"); foreach ($categories as $category) { $link=get_category_link("name="._sp($category['name'])."&page=1"); echo "<a href='".$link."'>".$category['name']; $category['gamenum'] = count(get_games("thecat="._sp($category['name']))); echo " (".$category['gamenum'].")"; echo "</a>"; } echo " </div> </li> <li> <a href='".get_users_link()."'> Members</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_news_link()."'> News</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_submit_link()."'> Submit</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_links_link()."'> Links</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_rules_link()."'> Rules</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_faq_link()."'> FAQ</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_contact_link()."'> Contact</a> </li>"; ?> </ul> <div style="clear:both"></div> </div>

I'm using the suggestions of those on here and using the http://www.dynamicsitesolutions.com...2/#relatedLinks menu (I'm a little confused over what the differences are but that's the least of my problems) What I want is a 2nd level drop down menu, but I'm clueless on how to go about it..???

Basically I have a single-graphic hover menu which works fine, but then the drop-down menus (in their separate colours) are just not coming in underneath in IE7 - ok in Firefox on pc and mac, plus fine is Safari on mac - but they should be normal wording links as 11px text with 17px line-height. I am getting the single-graphic coming in instead. I know this must have something to do with the nested ul in the li, but just can't stop this happening. So, it's really a 2 stage HELP. PLEASE!!!! Oh, I know I can't put a url link in. It's basically in a devsite folder of the main site I'm talking about here! 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:

http://www.describe.org/homework/esdcar http://www.describe.org/homework/esdcar/esdcar.css Three things: One is that in FF, etc, the dropdown for the single level labels (about, events) as opposed to the doubledecker ones (buyers) start too high -- not at the bottom of the box. I've tried playing with padding, height, margins...I must not have hit on the right combo yet, but I can't get it right. The second, though minor, is why there's a tiny crack that appears between one set of boxes (which set changes). I tried bumping up the width on one box by a tenth but that just caused the whole menubar to wrap down to a second line. The third is that the javascript doesn't work on IE. I copied it straight from the suckerfish/html dog tutorial and substituted the appropriate div name, but it's not working. (I haven't tried fixing anything else in IE yet, so it all looks bad...but the js should work.) late edit: I forgot to say that if I could, I'd like the single-level labels to be centered vertically, too, instead of up at the top... Can anyone give me a hint on why the css/javascript controlled dropdowns don't appear right on this page in Safari: http://spa.american.edu As you can see in the view source the script is very basic and not embedded in an external file. Safari cuts off a portion of the final link. Thanks, Jeremy Hey all, having a bit of trouble getting my drop down menu to display properly. It's modeled after the suckerfish menu, only modded a bit. Here's the site...hover over 'machines' to see what i'm talking about (have to use FF, i haven't added the JS for IE yet). The drop down is adopting the rollovers from the mainmenu, and I don't know what to change to make 'em different. Here's the CSS for the menu: Code:
#mainmenu {
width:780px;
height:41px;
margin:auto;
position:relative;
}
#mainmenu li.navigation {
width:78px;
height:41px;
float:left;

Thanks! Link: http://cemtec.quicksites.co.za CSS: http://cemtec.quicksites.co.za/wp-c...grass/style.css Hi This dropdown menu on Products works in Firefox but when I goto IE7 I dont see anything at all. I have tried changing the div Class to a Div Id also without any change. Anybody have any clues to what I have todo? L. I have been hunting around for an all CSS drop down menu that when you hover on the heading the menu expands down to show the heading 1 menu and if you hovered over the next menu item this expands to show that menu list instead a bit like the 'be the first to apply' on the right of this page, http://www.fish4.co.uk/iad/jobs search for say 'admin' just to get to the results page as this is where the menu is. the look is not important but the function is BUT.... i wanted to have many links in the drop down not just the one as in this example. this is the extracted code i have got so far that does what you see on this page. Code:
<style>
#rightcolumn {
float: right;
width: 170px;
text-align: center;
}
#leftcolumn {
float: left;

padding: 10px;

First I am using Dreamweaver MX2004. I am still new to CSS, have not used it much. Still using tables (yeah i know) for the layout. Mainly because when I've tried positioning in the past, IE doesn't display it right. Layers don't seem to work for me! What I'd like to know is: can I use CSS (the son of suckerfish dropdowns) for my drop down menu in a separate HTML file that would be saved as a library item? I'd like the nav separate so I can update it easily. Should I also use a separate CSS file that would only be associated with the nav? Is necessary to have an external css sheet, if it only applys to this nav? The nav would get dropped into a table row under the top banner. My issue is: will it get positioned right ? And will it view ok in IE??? Hope I explained this right. I fear that what I have already coded, would get messed up if I do this! But due to search engine optimization, I'd like to avoid a fully functioning javascript dropdown. If you have a better suggestion/usage for a dropdown horizontal nav, I'd appreciate your ideas! Thanks for the advice! Valerie Hi, on my site http://www.mattmdesign.com, sometimes when you mouseover the portfolio the menu appears in the wrong spot. someone also said that it is appearing on the left side of the page everytime with mozilla 1.0 Does anyone know how I can make it appear right under the porfolio link every time? Thanks, Matt Hi all -- I've used plenty of CSS in the past, but I'm currently working on a dropdown menu that is more challenging than I had anticipated. A few things I need to fix that I just cannot figure out: 1) The last <li> in the dropdown seems to be overlapping my border 2) I want to put at least 10px of padding on the left hand side of the dropdown menu 3) I need to turn the carrot in front of each menu item to #ff9900 4) Whenever I try to increase or decrease the space between menu items, it seems as though white lines appear between my menu items. In the interest of full disclosure, I found this CSS out somewhere on the web, and I've been trying to customize it since I didn't feel I had the knowledge to build it from scratch. Normally, I'd prefer to create something on my own, but limited time and knowledge prevented me from doing so this time around. Attached below are my HTML and CSS code. I tried to post a link, but the forum will not allow me. If you can offer any assistance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your time!

Help!! I am trying to design this website: nitrocanine .com/D/DDesign and the dropdown menus won't work in IE, while they work in Chrome, Safari, Firefox... does anyone know how to make them work in IE as well?? You can view the source and see the css coding and the relevant HTML. Need some help with some dropdown menus. I have been reading many of the tutorials on other sites. I have come up with this code for my drop down menus: Code:
.dropmenu {
position: absolute;
left: -1500px;
visibility: visible;
z-index: 101;
float: left;
width: 122px;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #BFBFBF;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.dropmenu ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
.dropmenu li {
display: inline;
}
.dropmenu a, .dropmenu a:visited, .dropmenu a:active {
display: block;
width: 120px;
padding: 2px;
margin: 1px;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
background-color: #D4D4D4;
}
.dropmenu a:hover {
padding: 2px;
margin: 1px;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
background-color: #BFBFBF;
}
but no matter how much I adjust settings that I know, I cannot get the dropdowns to show up below my original buttons, they always show up to the right hand side. Can someone here please point me in the right direction... |
