CSS - Css Dropdown Menu Text Formatting
Hey guys, I searched for this but didn't find an exact answer.
I'm working on a really weird navigation header and have run into what should be a really basic problem. I have everything working except for the submenus. I want them to have a red background when rolled over, but white text. No matter what combination I've tried in the code, I cannot achieve this. What gives? You can see what I mean by going he johngibby[dot]com/blbr/ (sorry admins, but it's too complicated to explain without showing it) the CSS is Code: #navbar { margin: 0; padding: 0; height: 1em; } #navbar li { list-style: none; float: left; } #navbar li a { display: block; padding: 0; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; } #navbar li ul { display: none; width: 10em; /* Width to help Opera out */ background-color:#FFF;} #navbar li:hover ul { display: block; position: absolute; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #navbar li:hover li { float: none; } #navbar li:hover li a { background-color: #FFF; color: #000; } #navbar li li a:hover { background-color: #eb1b24;} /*dropdown list item positioning*/ #navbar li.facility { top:-28px; left:73px; position:relative; } #navbar li.membership { top:-90px; left:78px; position:relative; } #navbar li.contact { top:-126px; left:80px; position:relative; } #navbar li.teams { top:-122px; left:360px; position:relative; } #navbar li.camps { top:-85px; left:360px; position:relative; } #navbar li.links { top:-38px; left:360px; position:relative; } #navbar ul.facilitydropdown { position:relative; top:50px; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:.7em; } #navbar ul.membershipdropdown { position:relative; top:60px; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:.7em; } #navbar ul.teamsdropdown { position:relative; top:60px; left:-20px; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:.7em; } #navbar ul.campdropdown { position:relative; top:60px; left:-20px; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:.7em; } Thanks! Similar TutorialsHey All, I'm trying to make text float to the right, the challenge part of it all is that i need to try and do this using a class that get asigned to the text so i can't really use a DIV or anything to do this. Really what i want is a bunch of text in a text box aligned to the right with a grey background. Anythoughts or ideas? Really in a binde here.

Hi, I have put off using css for a long time and now i need to figure it out. I am using a free template to learn with. My problem is at the bottom of the page I have 3 small images in a row across the bottom of the page. Theoretically 3 columns across the bottom with text next to each image. I have played with it for four hours now and give up. Currently the images show but the text runs through the three images. Here is the css relevant code i believe: Code: /* hotstuff */ #hotstuff { width: 100%; background: url("hotstuff_bg.gif") repeat-y; } * html #hotstuff { padding-bottom: 10px; } #hotstuff h2 { background: #3b2000; border-top: 1px solid #fff; } * html #hotstuff h2 { width: 100%; } #hotstuff .imagebox { padding: 2px 8px 2px 13px; margin: 2px 0; background: 4px no-repeat; float: left; width: 200px; } #hotstuff #hot-one { width: 180px; } #hotstuff #hot-two { width: 140px; margin-left: 2px; } #hotstuff #hot-three { width: 120px; margin-left: 2px; } * html #hotstuff #hot-one { width: 290px; width: 180px; } * html #hotstuff #hot-two { width: 250px; w\idth: 140px; } * html #hotstuff #hot-three { width: 230px; w\idth: 120px; } #hotstuff h3, #hotstuff p { margin: 0 0 0.2em 0; } * html #spacer { margin-top: 8px; } I am using of course that the html #hotstuff, 1 , 2 and 3 respectively is for the text but i may be wrong.

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!

Thanks, Matt Hi yall, i'm a quite newbie on css and i'm having an issue with my drop menu on the site i'm trying to do , with wordpress, multi level menu...i started from the code generated by the css generator and tried to fit it to my meeds. but, i can't control the li li menu (categories), i want it to appear exactly at the end of the li categories. 2) the second issue is that i'm trying to add a margin to the main ul because it's to near from the top. can someone help me plz? here my code Code: #suckerfishnav, #suckerfishnav ul { float: left; height: 2.98em; width: 960px; list-style: none; line-height: 1; background: white; font-weight: bold; margin: 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em 0.1em; padding: 0; } #suckerfishnav a { display: block; color: #7c6240; text-decoration: none; padding-top: 0.25em; padding-right: 0.7em; padding-bottom: 0.1em; padding-left: 0.2em; } #suckerfishnav li { float: left; padding: 0; width: 13em; height: 2.8em; } #suckerfishnav ul { position: absolute; left: -999em; height: auto; margin-left: 2em; line-height: 1; z-index: 500; } #suckerfishnav li li { width: 9.6em; border: solid #eda; border-width: 1px; padding-top; 10px; } #suckerfishnav li ul a { width: 9.8em; } #suckerfishnav li ul ul { margin: -0.20em 0 0 9.8em; } #suckerfishnav li ul { position: absolute; left: -999em; height: auto; width: 9.9em; w\idth: 9.8em; font-weight: normal; border-width: 0.20em; margin: 0; z-index: 500; } #suckerfishnav li ul a { width: 9.9em; w\idth: 9.8em; } #suckerfishnav li:hover ul ul, #suckerfishnav li:hover ul ul ul, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul ul, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul ul ul { left: -999em; } #suckerfishnav li:hover ul, #suckerfishnav li li:hover ul, #suckerfishnav li li li:hover ul, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul, #suckerfishnav li li.sfhover ul, #suckerfishnav li li li.sfhover ul { left: auto; } #suckerfishnav li:hover, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover { background: #eda; width: 9.5em; w\idth: 9.4em; } 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; width: 545px; padding: 10px; } h3#bftahead { text-align:left; color:#c1001f; font-size:1.5em; font-weight:bold; margin:23px 0px 10px 0px; } #bfta h4 { font-size:1.1em; margin:0em; padding:0.4em 0.1em 0.6em 0.1em } #bfta { width:170px; text-align:left; padding:0px; margin:0px 0px 10px 0px; list-style-type:none; height:47em; overflow:hidden; background:#ffffff url('images/bfta-background.jpg') bottom no-repeat; border-bottom:1px solid #cfcfcf; } #bfta li {float:left;width:100%;} #bfta li a { padding:0.5em 3%; display:block; width:94%; height:1.95em; margin-bottom:-0.4em; overflow:hidden; text-decoration:none; background:transparent url('images/bfta-background.png') no-repeat; color:#333333; font-family:arial, sans-serif; } #bfta li a#last, #bfta li a:hover {height:24em;} #bfta-whitebrand {list-style:none;margin:0em 0em 1em 1em;padding:0px;} #bfta-whitebrand li {padding:0em 0.4em;} </style> <div id="leftcolumn"> <ul id="bfta"> <li> <h4>a1</h4> a1 </li> <li><a href="a2"> <h4>a2</h4> a2</a> </li> <li><a href="a3"> <h4>a4</h4> a3</a> </li> </ul> </div> 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 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... i'm having a problem with a couple attributes for my CSS dropdowns. view the page here (both CSS and XHTML are on the same page) specifically my .hoverBase:hover .hoverLaunch {} class which reads as such: Code: .hoverBase:hover .hoverLaunch { display:block; position:absolute; top:15px; left:-3px; width:70px; border:3px solid #000000; text-align: center; z-index: 30; } the problem is that IE6 will not display the .hoverLaunch class like FireBird does, in fact, it does not display at all. Another awesome feature of IE6 is that the :hover i have applied on the .hoverbase does not work either. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. 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).

For example, on this page ( http://www.a-1plumbing.us/tips.html ) the "Guarantee" drop down menu works quite well, because there is no div under neath it.
