CSS - Selected Menus - Id Or Class?
Hi,
Looking to make menus out of an unordered list. I want one of the menus to be highlighted when the corresponding page is being displayed. I might have more than one menu on a given page. http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/ shows examples on how to do so. In the HTML, they use <li id="active"> to target the menu link to highlight. If I have two menus on a given page, this would result in two identical ID's, however, they could be uniquely identified since they exist in different menu ID's. Is this a problem? Would it be better to use <li class="active"> instead of how Listamatic's use of id? Thanks Similar TutorialsI've got a dynamically generated <select> list, where the <option>s are styled using both 'class' and 'style' - like in the following example: PHP Code: <style> .thm_img { height:30px; } </style> <select> <option class="thm_img" style="background: #99CC00;" value="1" >Image 1</option> <option class="thm_img" style="background: #FF3300;" value="2" >Image 2</option> <option class="thm_img" style="background: #CC9999;" value="3" selected="selected" >Image 3</option> </select> No big deal - pretty standard stuff. The "selected" <option> displays in the 'visible' part of the field and also as part of the drop list ... as one would expect. But, and this is where I am baffled - the attributes from both class and style show up in the option listing, whilst only the 'class' attributes show up in the 'visible' part of the list. If I'm not making any sense here, just cut and paste the above code into an html editor to see what I mean. You'd note that 'Image 3' has a white background in the visible part of the field, but a coloured background in the drop list. Would anyone know why the attributes from the 'style' aren't being applied but that from the 'class' is ? ... and how (if possible) would I resolve this without combining the style into the class (since combining them is not an option - no pun intended). Cheers Hi Friends, I'm very new to CSS.I put one menu control with the help of css and javascript.This menu control was working fine.But after selecting a particular menu tab , i want that should be in diffrent color,i.e., activated postion i write as .horizontalcssmenu a:active{ background:red; } but after page refrest it went and it comes to original color Here i want till i cliclk a new tab i want to put my current clicked link background color to red. Thanks in adavance. Avinash Please help me, urgent for me. hey, I got a table, every <td> in the table got the css class .regular. (<td class='regular'>). When the user moves their mouse over a row, that row should change color. This works with the following code: <tr onmouseover='this.className=\"hoverRow\"'> However, this only works if the td's in that row have no class set yet. And since all td's in my table have a class set allready, i cant use this. How can i overwrite the class of the td's by the class for the whole row? thanks in advance Using the following example: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Test</title>
<style type="text/css">
a
{
display: block;
}
a.one.on, a:hover.one, a:hover.one.on
{
color: red;
}
a.two.on, a:hover.two, a:hover.two.on
{
color: orange;
}
a.three.on, a:hover.three, a:hover.three.on
{
color: green;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" class="one">one</a>
<a href="#" class="two">two</a>
<a href="#" class="three">three</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="#" class="one on">one</a>
<a href="#" class="two on">two</a>
<a href="#" class="three on">three</a>
</body>
</html>
Notice how, in IE6 (works fine in FF), when the secondary style named 'on' is added, all 3 links in the 2nd set display the properties of the style: Code: a.three.on, a:hover.three, a:hover.three.on
{
color: green;
}
(since it is last in the list) rather than the style specified by their respective numbers (i.e. 'one', 'two' or 'three'). Is there a way to overcome this in IE. I've read several forums and know that the technique I'm trying to achieve is possible, however I can't seem to get it to work. Basically I'm trying to shift the background positions of both the list item I'm hovering over and the next list item. I'm sure its just a syntax error and not a logic error, anyways the code is below - any help would be greatly appreciated! Code:
HTML Code
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="#" class="search"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="battery"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="cart"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="contact"></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
.search, .contact, .cart, .battery
{
width:100px;
height:30px;
margin-left:-1px;
display:block;
}
.search
{
background-image:url(Images/search.png);
}
.contact
{
background-image:url(Images/contact.png);
}
.cart
{
background-image:url(Images/cart.png);
}
.battery
{
background-image:url(Images/battery.png);
}
ul li a.search:hover
{
background-position:0px 60px;
}
ul li a.search:hover ul li a[class=battery]
{
background-position:0px 60px;
}
Sorry for the lousy title, can't come up with better wording.... What I'm trying to say is can someone give me an example code of a css syntax that accept one css classname and add a few more properties to it under a different class name. Sort of like merging two classname into one. Thanks... Hi there. I've become fond of the idea of non-javascript menus. I've been experimenting a little. So with help from various sources I managed to get a simple set working. I have this... Code:
#menu ul li > ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 18px;
left: 0;
width: 170px;
}
which correctly 'hides' the sub-menu. Then I have this Code:
#menu ul li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
which should 'unhide' the sub-menu. Now, because I'd had success with the menu, I thought I should now look at validating my html and css. So far, I've just looked at the html part. My question is, why does it work with this code (which doesn't validate under Strict doctype)? Code:
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li class="small"><a href="blah.php">About</a>
<li>Details On...
<ul>
<li class="small"><a href="blah.php">Registering</a>
</ul>
</ul>
</div>
and not this (which does validate)? Code:
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li class="small"><a href="blah.php">About</a></li>
<li>Details On...</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li class="small"><a href="blah.php">Registering</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
I'll listen to any thoughts on this, even the use (or not) of doctype strict. Thanks for listening! Stay JOLLY H Hi, I wanted to do a horizontal popout menu. I have the code and it works but I am trying to undertsand it better. It uses a csshover.htc file which i didn't download but the thing still works fine with a ie sniffer code in it. It doesn't use any javascript which I thought it needed. There seems a few ways to do expanding menus in css (with/without javascript)? Menus are more complicated than they look but I would some explanation on the above points before i continue. Please help me. This is driving me crazy. I am getting a problem in IE and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. Of course, it works just fine in Firefox, but not IE. In IE, go to to this page. On the horizontal drop-down menu, go to "Guides." Then scroll through the three drop-down options and back up. Notice how the 3rd level menu suddenly dissapears behind the 2nd level menu? Here's the portion of my CSS file controling the menu: Code: /********** LAYOUT - HEADER **********/

Please help me! Thanks! Manny Thank you for your time and assistance. I am working on building my first website in 2 years. I am very interested in developing a good site interface with standard code that may be easily edited later. Specifically, I am interested in creating dynamic navigation menus that will be supported by as many browsers as possible. I have seen dynamic menus created with javascript, but I know I don't want to do that since some browsers do not support it/or do not have it enabled by default. Can you comment on whether or not CSS would be a good solution to get around this problem? I have never used CSS to create menus in the past, but it seems very useful for standardizing a site interface. I am also open to other suggestions, what would you do to accomplish this task? Can someone recommend a workaround for this issue I am having please. Rollover the top blue menus to see what i mean. There is an advert appearing in an iframe and it is blocking the drop down menus above it. Z indexes etc don't seem to help. this is the link ( very frustrating you can't post a link - it would make things easier for people to help ) sidouglas.net/nz-tourism-guide-prototype/index.html index.html: Iframe source is the same as the domain; menu can appear above the iframe no problem. index2.html: iframe source references another domain; menu dissapears. index3.html: iframe source is same as domain - but references swf resources from another domain. menu dissapears. Surely someone has faced this same issue? I am tied down to having to a situation with index2.html as there has to be a click tracking registering from another domain. Very frustrating, please help. Thanks. I have this test site using CSS drop down menus, but when you scroll over, they disappear. Seems to be happening in IE9, Firefox and Chrome. Can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated! Here is the script: Code: <head>

I am very new to this whole css thing, but am trying to get all learned about it. I think I am doing badly so far. I am trying to make css drop-down menus, and have pulled code from all over the place, and modified it to look correct (so as to match my design comp). it is based on the suckerfish model <http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/> and it works exactly as it should in safari, firefox (mac & pc). but doesn't work correctly at all in IE (mac or pc). I have implemented the "ie fix" with the javascript code several sites instructed me to use, and while it now sorta works (in the sense that the menus drop down), there are still problems. such as in IE on pc you can't roll down to the drop down menus, because they go away as soon as you roll off the top menu item. in IE on mac they are messed up in a whole other way. you can roll down to them, and they don't go away as soon as you're off the top nav option, but the hover is all jacked, and the menu is broken, sending the last nav button down to the next line! aaahhh! can anyone help me?! I'm sorry I'm so stupid and helpless, but... well. I am. any tips/etc would be mighty appreciated! -daniel Dear Forum, I am designing a website using HTML and Java for the drop down menus. Although for one page this seemed ok at the begining, now I want to add links to other catagories where I only want to change the main body of the page. Up to now I have had to insert the Java script into every page I want to link to. The problem is A) The pages blink and the menu is lost while the graphics are being loaded, B) If I need to change the menus in the future I have to change all pages. Is there a way I can use CSS to keep the consistency of the Top and sides of the page and only change the body for other pages. I can do this with frames but I prefer not to use them. The test page can be seen at http://test.kipseli.com Thanks Rob Hi there, I'm trying to integrate some SEO friendly dropdown menus into an existing website design. The trouble I'm experiencing so far is that the body of the design is aligned centre, and most of the examples I've seen thus far use absolute positioning of <div> elements (i.e. the design is left-aligned, so the designer knows to position the dropdown div X pixels). Is there a good reference I can use for positioning my divs properly? Thanks I've been grappling with this for a long while now. I pretty much have it working, except for the life of me I cannot get the drop down menus to appear under the corresponding link. position: absolute makes the menus always appear off to the left. Does anyone know what the secret is to this?

Hi All, I seem to have made a mistake in installing a CSS drop-down menu b/c despite my best efforts, I cannot seem to make it work in Internet Explorer. I am using the Suckerfish method found http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns My CSS file is here And a sample page can be found here Does anyone see a mistake I made? All other browsers work beautifully, so the problem must lie in the Internet Explorer hack. Hello does anyone have any links to good tabs tutorials I been looking at some other and most of the CSS code would not work well but I would just like some links thanks for ur time I am learning CSS and started to like it I was trying to make an image gallery so was just playing around with this link I got Please see this http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/tabmenu.html When I added five more images in this, the last images ceases to display How can I correct that I was testing this by adding this code 5 times <li> <a href="#nogo"> William Turner<br /> (1775-1851) <span> <img src="../img/turner.jpg" alt="painting" title="painting" /> This English painter was one of the greatest romantic interpreters of nature in the history of Western art and is still unrivaled in the virtuosity of his painting of light. </span> </a> </li> I was anticipating that a scrollbar would come automatically in the browser but that dint happen What should I do? Hello, I'm trying to replace one CSS nav menu with another, is there anyone who is familiar enough to assist me? |
