CSS - Text On The Menu Button Images Or....
Hello,
I've always made my menu buttons with the text built into the image but is there a better way to do it? Thanks for the help. Similar TutorialsOn my sitehttp://northshorewebdesign.net/testsite/ I have a horizontal menu with text and one image link. The menu is under the slideshow. There are 4 text links and an image link. I am trying to line up the text and image horizontally. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? Here's the code: Code: .homepage-sub-menu {float: left; width: 960px; height: 70px;overflow: hidden; position: relative; margin: 10px 0px;}
.homepage-sub-menu ul{list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow:hidden;}
.homepage-sub-menu ul li {float: left; vertical-align:middle; width: 180px;}
.homepage-sub-menu ul li a:link,a:visited {display: block; width: 180px; font-family: Calibri,Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 10px 4px; font-size: 20px;color: #ffffff; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:middle;display:table-cell;line-height: 70px;}
.homepage-sub-menu ul li a:hover,a:active{text-decoration: underline; vertical-align:middle;}
Thank you Hi, I'm trying to set up my (very basic, horizontal, no dropdown) CSS menu so that when a user hovers over the menu link items, the formatting changes and they basically get an image on mouseover (nothing more than changing the text colour and adding a curve on the left hand side, so it just looks like a selected tab). It kind of works but instead of the whole image showing it only shows in the area where the menu link text is, so instead of covering the height of the menu bar and a length I specify, it's just covering the actual word e.g "Home" in each case on the menu. I can't seem to get it so that on rollover the whole image shows. I've tried setting it so that the links have a background image (just a plain block from the nav bar) but that doesn't work. My CSS is: /* this is the bar where the menu is located */ .menuholder { width:1001px; height:2.19em; background-color:#0f2763; } /*holder for the menu */ div.navigation { margin-left:30px; padding-top:10px; } .navigation ul { list-style-type: none; position: relative; float: left; } .navigation ul li { display: block; padding: 0px 20px 0px 10px; display: inline; height:2.19em; } .navigation ul li a { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#FFF; font-size:14px; font-weight:bold; line-height:18px; width:100px; height:2.19em; text-decoration:none; } .navigation ul li a:hover { color:#0f2763; background-image:url(/images/menutab.gif); width:100px; height:2.19em; } I've tried setting display:block; and float:left; on the .navigation ul li, but this makes the menu become vertical and throws the whole page out of sync. I tried this altrnative code, to no avail: .menuholder { width:1001px; height:2.19em; background-color:#0f2763; } div.navigation { margin-left:30px; padding-top:10px; height:2.19em; } .navigation ul { list-style-type: none; position: relative; float: left; } .navigation ul li { padding: 0px 20px 0px 10px; display: block; float:left; height:2.19em; } .navigation ul li:hover { color:#0f2763; background-image:url(/images/menutab.gif); width:100px; height:2.19em; background-repeat:no-repeat; } .navigation ul li a { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#FFF; font-size:14px; font-weight:bold; line-height:18px; width:100px; height:2.19em; text-decoration:none; display: inline; } Any ideas or pointers gratefully received! Can somebody tell me if this is possible? I have a horizontal menu and I'm using images. I'm using javascript for the drop down menu etc. The menu is an include so it looks the same on all the pages. What I want to do is when I'm on say "Contact" the rollover color (this is an image) displays the "Contact" hover image, and the same with the other pages. So what needs to happen is CSS needs to override the button with the hover image. Is it possible to put css in every page that tells it to display the needed hover image when on that page? Hi! I'm trying to implement an image drop-down menu. Everything seems to be working but there is an element that is pushing my second image button down and I can't seems to figure where it's coming from. It seems to be my link that is causing it but i'm stumpped. I've set up a test page so you can see what is happening. the site is at test .sylvaindelisle .com Thanks for taking the time to take a look. Hi there, Can someone help me make a menu Im working on. The menu is make up of a few cells in a table, each cell has a Background image and an image which I would like to haved change when the mouse is over that cell in the table. How is this done? Owen, Am I missing something? I am using the following code and it works if I put it in the head, but doesn't work if I put it in an external style sheet. I know I am sleep deprived but am I missing something simple? .m_isabel { display: block; width: 175px; height: 20px; background: url("jpg/m_isabel.jpg") no-repeat 0 0; } .m_isabel:hover { background-position: 0 -20px; } .m_isabel span { display: none; } In body: <a href="#" class="m_isabel" title="Isabel"><span>F. Isabel </span></a> If you take at the link below I'm having trouble with the top menu. http://departments.brooklands.ac.uk/ifp/test/ I'm trying to use background images as buttons with normal xhtml text links. But I can't seem to get the text in the middle of the buttons. I think I may be going about this in the wrong way, so if anyone could take a look that would be great. Thanks Jemes Code:

I finally found a fix that worked on css list navigation that i could use that'll work in IE but i cant seem to center each menu item to each respective rollover image (the BG gifs). Some help on this would be greatly appreciated, i cant seem to find anything to fix this. I've tried several solutions (which is probably why my css might look like a huge mess). the css file is he users.tpg.com.au/tetsuo/CSS_help/awis.html I am having issues with a horizontal menu bar. The menu is supposed to be created with 4 images seamlessly aligned, but I find that there is a 3px space between each when I load the page. This causes the width of the 4 images to exceed the specified width specified for that id and a wraparound occurs. Page: www .sjbcathedral. org/php/sample.php CSS: Code: body {

Thanks for the help! Best, Andrew Hi ! Me again :P So this is a simple test i made to try this out. But I ran into a problem. Take a look for yourself: (view-source for xhtml and css) http://fotoz.hit.bg/test/menu.html The problem is that annoying flickering that happens when you roll over. Any ideas how to fix it ? And most importantly why does it occur? Thanks! p.s I should explain what i wanted to do here. Basicly 1 big background image to the <div>. It will be holding the "over" state of all the buttons. At the same time the <a> elements will be holding images of the "normal" state buttons, and when you hover over them they will disappear and you will see the "hover" state below. It works but I get the flickering with visibility:hidden and even if i just move the img out of the way Hi, I am hoping someone can help me please. I am looking for some code (CSS, PHP or otherwise) to be able to create a drop down menu (with flyout) on mouseover of some pre-existing pictures. I have tried to take some codes which "sort of" do what I need but I'm unable to modify them to do what I need them to. It seems like the varying widths of the PNGs is a sticking point. At the minute I have a navigation bar consisting of 5 PNGs of same height but different widths. I had intended it to work so that when you click on these top links you are given a page for that section, and along the top of that page are "sub links". However, I have changed my mind and would like to keep the current images, but on rollover have a drop down menu appear with the different "sub links" instead of having them on the top of each page. For example I have a PNG which says "About Clan Wars". I would like a mouseover to show a Dropdown with flyout like: >What Is Clan Wars? >What are the rules ----> D Class Rules ----> C Class Rules >Clan Wars 1 ----> Fight Card ----> Pictures ----> Videos >Clan Wars 2 ----> Fight Card ----> Pictures ----> Videos I hope that makes sense to whoever is reading. Thank you Sean I am trying to create a Horizontal Multilevel Drop Down Navigation Menu, but instead of the css creating text i would like them to be images and when you hover over the links they rollover into a new image. I would really like your help on this been trying to do it for weeks now!! Cheers Hi there, I have a simple submit button with the word "Search!" as the value. However, in FF, it is appearing aligned nearer the bottom of the button where as in IE it is centered correctly. This is what I mean: This is my CSS: PHP Code: .search_button{ background: url("images/search.jpg") repeat-x; border: 0px solid ; font-family: verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #373737; font-size: 11px; width: 80px; height: 24px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align:middle; } and my HTML: PHP Code: <input name="" type="submit" value="Search!" class="search_button"/> Any ideas why this is and how I can center it in FF? I am on a web site which allows the user to customize certain aspects of your pages. The site inserts a search button with the title "Go" inside a form. I'd like to change the text to "Search". I have no way to access the xhtml because the site inserts it into the page and I can't replace the form with one of my own because non site generated forms are not allowed due to security; however, we can modify the button in question since lines like this work: Puts image behind button: .productSearchCell button {background: url("http://url");} Removes button: .productSearchCell button {display:none;} 1. Can I change the text from "Go" to "Search" using a css override? OR 2. Can I get rid of the text altogether and instead place an image on top of the button with a CSS overide? The background code above places the image behind the button instead of on top of it. OR 3. Make the site's generic button invisible and use my own image button to trigger the form inserted by the site. I really would like to use this method, but it has to be a CSS override as we can't touch the use the form tag in the xhtml section of code we can edit. Code: <div class="productSearchCell"> <div class="hr"></div> <h3>Search this Store </h3> <div class="clearfix"> <form action="http://url"> <div> <input type="text" id="page_module0-queryInput" name="qs" value="" size="14" /><button type="submit" class="inline"><span class="buttonLeft"><span class="buttonRight">Go</span></span></button> </div> </form> </div> <a class="inlineActionLink" href="url">View all Products</a> </div> How do I align the text in my navbar vertically? I'm trying to do this. edit.... I can't post the link by adding vertical-align:middle; to my navbar tag and its not working. Do you see where i'm going wrong? Hello, I have a <h2> header consisting of "Contacts". I want an add button to the right of the header. The add button should be an 32 px image which changes upon hover, and the words "new" below the image. The image "new.png" is 32 px wide and 64 px high, and consists of the two images on top of each other. The following code is close but not perfect, and have several questions: How should I push the text under the image? Should the anchor go inside of the h2 tag? Any other improvements? Thank you Code: <style type="text/css">
a.button{
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 100% 0px;
height: 24px;
width: 24px;
margin: 0 0 10px 0;
padding: 4px;
}
a.button:hover{background-position: 100% -32px;}
.icon-32-new { background-image: url(new.png); }
</style>
<h2>Contacts
<a href="index.php?page=add_contact" class="button icon-32-new">New</a></h2>
I put a fairly large image and centered it using. Code: background: #484747 url(img/main.png) fixed; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center; That put it exactly in the center in all browsers (that I have). So working great so far. I then want to load a button on top of that image (like just a button) that says "Enter" So I make a button and I go through everything until I choose absolute and giving it percents to be exactly where I want it. I refresh the page and boom its there, I move the webbrowser height, use a different browser and its broken badly. What do people recommend using? Like relative and padding or what? Since what I'm using right now only works for my setup. i am pretty new to web development, and i have a big problem which i cant seem to find a solution to.. i want to type on top of an image on my web page... the image is placed in a table and the table (the whole tag from <table> to </table> including image) has been relatively placed on the page using div tag. so how do i get around typing something ON TOP OF the image ??? for eg... on the ibm dot com homepage, on the header, on the right side, the text "united states" is placed on top of an image... i want to achieve a similar effect. please help me.. please. and any recommendation for good positioning tutorials ? i mean, the only way i am able to make text appear over images is by making a new table seperately, and using div tags and set the position as absolute, and setting the z axis to auto which lets me move the table around anywhere on the page (even on top of images) in dreamweaver... isnt there any better way of doing it ? and im sorry if this post belongs to some other area, i think his problem is css related.. im sorry ima complete noob first time on any web development forum. here is my code Code:
<div class="abovefooter">
<table width="906" height="108" border="0">
<tr>
<td><img src="images/above_footer.jpg" width="906" height="108" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="above">
<p>News Forums extreme</p>
<p> </p>
</div>
and here is the "above" and "abovefooter" css code: Code:
.above {
position: absolute;
z-index: auto;
height: 100px;
width: 930px;
left: 13px;
top: 432px;
right: auto;
bottom: auto;
}
.abovefooter {
position: relative;
z-index: auto;
height: auto;
width: auto;
left: auto;
top: auto;
right: auto;
bottom: auto;
}
