CSS - Dropdown Menu Behind Post Content (wordpress)
Code:
http://www.blametruthproject.com/home Hey CSS gods So I need some help with my dropdown menus, they are currently going behind the content on my posts in my blog, I think this could be fixed with CSS but I guess you guys could tell me that. Thanks, Neil. Similar TutorialsI aim to create my own wordpress theme eventually, but for now I have been trying to customize free open source themes made by others. I have a test one set up at http://www.theepicnetwork.com/gfn My query here is that I am trying to make that navigation menu function as a dropdown menu, but I can't seem to do it. I managed to make it Wordpress 3.0 compatible so I can edit the menu items through the wp admin cp. But i just need to successfully give it a drop down function. Here is all my code. ------- NAV MENU CSS Code: /* Navigations*/ #nav { position:relative; padding:0; margin:0 auto; height:68px; width:1002px; background:url(images/nav_bg.png) no-repeat center top; } #nav ul { position:absolute; z-index:1; top:0; left:50px; width:900px; height:65px; padding:0; margin:0; list-style:none; } #nav li { float:left; margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none; } #nav a { display:block; padding:27px 20px; float:left; border:none; font:bold 12px Myriad Pro, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color:#fff; text-transform:uppercase; } #nav a:hover{ color:#f0ff21; background:url(images/nav_over.gif) repeat-x center top; } INTENDED DROPDOWN CSS - I copied this from one of my other sites.

I have a wordpress blog and am formatting the text, I've used line-height, line-spacing and letter-spacing because I want to make it readable. Now what I'm trying to do is align the width of the paragraphs to the images or at least to the widge of the post container which is 585px. I changed the width to 585px and it that didn't help. My site is (havenhart[dot]com) and as an example, see (oneaboveone[dot]com) that site has the text aligned to the image, or atleast te container width. Can anyone offer any resources on how to do this? Thanks. Hello guys, I have beginner CSS experience. I am using a free wordpress theme. I have begun to modify the theme and have run into a problem. I have checked all over the web for resources to resolve this issue to no avail. I have used the CSS Validator and received some errors nothing that affects this. ISSUE: When clicking "Read More" the image appears twice, once as the limited size and once as the full size. I would like only the first image to appear not the full size one too.

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. 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... My second level menu items are not showing in IE, but show fine in firefox.

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!

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. 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 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> 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 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; text-align:center; background:#B8A488 url(images/mainmenu_roll.gif) no-repeat; } #mainmenu li.navigation a{ background:#66563D url(images/mainmenu_off.gif) no-repeat; display:block; text-decoration:none; color:#F4F1E5; height:31px; padding-top:10px; } #mainmenu li.navigation a:hover { background:transparent; color:#66563D; } #mainmenu li#home { background-image:url(images/home_roll.gif); } #mainmenu li#home a{ background-image:url(images/home_off.gif); } #mainmenu li#home a:hover { background:transparent; } #mainmenu li#contact { background-image:url(images/contact_roll.gif); } #mainmenu li#contact a { background-image:url(images/mainmenu_off.gif); } #mainmenu li#contact a:hover { background:transparent; } /* BEGIN DROP DOWN MENU */ li ul { display: none; position: absolute; top: 1px; margin-left:-2px; background-color:#B8A488; border-left:1px solid #66563D; border-bottom:1px solid #66563D; padding:2px; z-index:500; } * html li ul { top:26px; } /* li ul li { padding:0; } */ li > ul { top: auto; left: auto; } li:hover ul, li.over ul{ display: block; } Thanks!
