CSS - Drop Down Puzzle

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!

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:

.chromestyle{
     width: 100%;
     font-weight: bold;
     float: left;
     height: 29px;
}

.chromestyle:after{ /*Add margin between menu and rest of content in Firefox*/
content: ".";

}

.chromestyle ul{
border: 0px solid #BBB;
width: 100%;
background: url(chromebg.gif) center center repeat-x; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/
padding: 4px 0;
margin: 0;
text-align: right; /*set value to "left", "center", or "right"*/
}

.chromestyle ul li{

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.

Hi, I'm trying to get this drop down to work in IE, but I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, can anyone help me?

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!

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[//><!--

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

}
sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() {
this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover\\b"), "");
}
}
}
if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover);

(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!

Valerie

I know it's possible,

Anyone know how to do it or point me to a good learning tutorial?

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>

Any ideas how I can add a drop down to appear to the right of the drop downs which have further categories?

Any help would be great!
Thanks!

Ok I am creating a CSS/Javascript Horizontal drop down menu and everything looks great except when I go down and highlight items on my submenu the styles go away on the Menu Item Selected, how can I have those attributes maintain when I go on it's sub elements?

Thanks alot

Seth

Hey all,

k, been banging my head off the desk for a while with this one.

I'm using the same coding/styling for this menu as i am with all my currently working menus, but no dice in IE.

The only difference with this, is that there are two drop-down menus...one on either side of the screen.

here's the page in question.

here's the menu;
Code:

  	<div id="leftmenu"><!-- OPEN LEFT MENU -->
		<ul id="leftnav">
			<li><a href="#" class="imglink"><img src="images/leftmenu_top.gif" alt="Hover for Menu"></a>
				<ul>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus left imglink">home</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus left imglink">member zone</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus left imglink">birthday parties</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus left imglink">group parties</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus left imglink">contests</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus left imglink">location/hours</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus left imglink">prices</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus left imglink">specials</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus left imglink">lock-ins</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus left imglink">photo gallery</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus left imglink">links</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus left imglink">contact us</a></li>
				</ul>
			</li>
		</ul>	
	</div><!-- CLOSE LEFT MENU -->
	<div id="rightmenu"><!-- OPEN RIGHT MENU -->
		<ul id="rightnav">
			<li><a href="#" class="imglink"><img src="images/rightmenu_top.gif" alt="Hover for Menu"></a>
				<ul>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus right imglink">go-karts</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus right imglink">glo golf</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus right imglink">laser tag</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus right imglink">arcade</a></li>
					<li><a href="#" class="menus right imglink">batting cages</a></li>
				</ul>
			</li>
		</ul>	
	</div><!-- CLOSE RIGHT MENU -->

the css;
Code:

#leftmenu {
float:left;
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:20px;
background:black;
height:30px;
width:150px;
z-index:200;
}

#rightmenu {
float:right;
position:absolute;
right:0;
top:20px;
background:black;
height:30px;
width:150px;
z-index:200;
}

/* CONSOLIDATED NAVIGATION */

ul#leftnav {
	list-style:none;
	width:150px;
}

ul#rightnav {
	list-style:none;
	width:150px;
}

ul li {
	position: relative;
}

#rightmenu li ul {
	position:absolute;
	right:0;
	top:30px;
	width:135px;
	display: none;
	list-style:none;
}

#leftmenu li ul {
	position:absolute;
	left:0;
	top:30px;
	width:135px;
	display: none;
	list-style:none;
	text-align:right;
}

ul li a {
	display: block;
	text-decoration:none;
	color:white;
}

#rightmenu li:hover ul, li.over ul { 
	display: block;
	border-bottom:1px solid #FD4467;
	border-left:1px solid #FD4467;
}

#leftmenu li:hover ul, li.over ul { 
	display: block;
	border-bottom:1px solid #FD4467;
	border-right:1px solid #FD4467;
}
	
a.menus {
	color:white;
	text-decoration:none;
	padding:3px 0;
}
	
a.menus:hover {
	color:black;
	text-decoration:none;
	background-color:#D9FD02;
	border-top:1px solid #FD4467;
	border-bottom:1px solid #FD4467;
	padding:2px 0;
}	

a.right:hover {
border-right:10px solid #FD4467;
}

a.left:hover {
border-left:10px solid #FD4467;
}

/* Fix IE. Hide from IE Mac \*/
* html #rightmenu ul li { float: right; }
* html #rightmenu ul li a { height: 1%; }
/* End */

/* Fix IE. Hide from IE Mac \*/
* html #leftmenu ul li { float: left; }
* html #leftmenu ul li a { height: 1%; }
/* End */

/* END MENUS */

and, just for good measure, the javascript, which is currently only setup for one side of the menu, just to get it rolling.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
startList = function() {
if (document.all&&document.getElementById) {
navRoot = document.getElementById("leftnav");
for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
node = navRoot.childNodes[i];
if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
node.onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=" over";
  }
  node.onmouseout=function() {
  this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
   }
   }
  }
 }
}
window.onload=startList;
//-->
</script>

any help'd be greatly appreciated.
