CSS - Dropdown Menu With Css Sprite
I currently have a menu sprite set up that works.
I also have a css dropdown menu set up as well in conjunction with the sprite menu. Issue: The dropdown does not work in IE6. It drops down behind the div just below it (never to see it until I hid the contents in the div below) even after adding z-index to nearly every attribute. After hiding the contents in the div below, I see the drop down, but as soon as I mouse over it, it disappears. This has been a headache for me and I need to get this resolved asap. Here is the CSS: aunkor.com/css.html Here is the HTML: aunkor.com/html.html Please help! >_< Similar TutorialsIm struggling here trying to replace this code. any help would be appreciated. Now To go into details I have a magento template. Im trying to replace the default navigation text menu to a css sprite top image menu. the default navigation text menu css code is stated below Quote: /********** < Navigation */ .nav-container {} #nav {padding:0; margin:0; font-size:11px; border-bottom:1px solid #000; } /* All Levels */ #nav li { text-align:left; position:relative; border-right:1px solid #000;} #nav li a, #nav li a span{background:url(../images/menu_bg.gif) left top repeat-x #141314;} #nav li.first{background:url(../images/menu_corner_left.png) left top no-repeat; padding-left:5px;} #nav li.first a span{padding-left:42px;} #nav li.over.first, #nav li.active.first{background:url(../images/menu_corner_left_active.png) left top no-repeat;} #nav li.last a{background:url(../images/menu_corner_right.png) right top no-repeat; padding-right:5px;} #nav li.last a span{padding-right:38px; padding-left:45px;} #nav li.over.last a, #nav li.active.last a{background:url(../images/menu_corner_right_active.png) right top no-repeat;} #nav li.over a span, #nav li.active a span{background:url(../images/menu_bg_active.gif) left top repeat-x #1E1F1F; padding-bottom:16px;} #nav li.over, #nav li.active{border-bottom:1px solid #2C2B2C;} #nav li.over { z-index:999; } #nav li.parent {} #nav li a { display:block; text-decoration:none; } #nav li a:hover { text-decoration:none; } #nav li a span { display:block; padding:20px 43px 17px 47px; text-transform:uppercase; white-space:nowrap; cursorointer; } #nav li ul a span { white-space:normal; } /* 1st Level */ #nav li { float:left; } #nav li a { float:left; padding:0; color:#FFF; } #nav li a:hover { color:#FFF; } #nav li.over a, #nav li.active a { color:#FFF; } /* 2nd Level */ #nav ul { position:absolute; width:17em; top:50px; left:-10000px; border:1px solid #202020; border-bottom:0; background:#070707; font-size:9px; } #nav ul li { float:none; border-bottom:1px solid #202020!important; background:0; } #nav ul li.last { border-bottom:0; } #nav ul li a { float:none; padding:3px 9px; font-weight:normal; color:#888 !important; background:0!important; } #nav ul li a:hover { color:#FFF !important; } #nav ul li a span{padding:3px 5px!important; background:0!important;} #nav ul li.active > a, #nav ul li.over > a { color:#FFF !important; } /* 3rd+ leven */ #nav ul ul { top:7px; } /* Show Menu */ #nav li.over > ul { left:0; } #nav li.over > ul li.over > ul { left:100px; } #nav li.over ul ul { left:-10000px; } /********** Navigation > */ Ok now after viewing the code above i was wondering how can i add the css sprite image code that i made to replace the default navigation text menu. Below is the css code i made for the sprite images. Quote: #navigation { margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 969px; height: 53px; Background-image: url(lastone.gif) ; } #navigation li { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none; display: inline; height:53px; text-align: center; float:left; line-height:53px; } #navigation a { display:block; height:52px; } #navigation a:hover { background-image: url(lastone.gif) ; } #nav-home { width:161px; } #nav-home a:hover { background-position:bottom 0; } #nav-Service { width:161px; } #nav-Service a:hover { background-position:bottom -162px; } #nav-Quicklinkz { width:161px; } #nav-Quicklinkz a:hover { background-position:bottom -323px; } #nav-Advertise { width:161px; } #nav-Advertise a:hover { background-position:bottom -484px; } #nav-Contact { width:161px; } #nav-Contact a:hover { background-position:bottom -645px; } #nav-About { width:161px; } #nav-About a:hover { background-position:bottom -806px; } #navigation span { display: none; } AS you can see below i also have inserted the HTML that correspond to the css sprite image menu code. I link the css code into the html. so my final 2 questions is. can anyone replace the css code i made in the default css code. and after thats done which root do i upload the html code to. Code: <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Navigation Menu</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="menu.css"/> </head> <body> <ul id="navigation"> <li id="nav-home"><a href="#"><span>Home</span></a></li> <li id="nav-Service"><a href="#"><span>Service</span></a></li> <li id="nav-Quicklinkz"><a href="#"><span>Quicklinkz</span></a></li> <li id="nav-Advertise"><a href="#"><span>Advertise</span></a></li> <li id="nav-Contact"><a href="#"><span>Contact</span></a></li> <li id="nav-About"><a href="#"><span>About</span></a></li> </ul> </body> </html> I am looking to make a navigation menu similar to the following: http : / / www . coremediadesign.co.uk/website_design_company/about_core_media_design.html This is the sprite image they use. http : / / img819.imageshack.us/img819/8185/menuo.png I would like to accomplish the same thing. I am NOT looking for one long image with my entire menu in image format. I want a three-part background image/sprite like the one I posted above that is used as the background/hover/active by repeating it on the x-axis. I have tried for a long time to get this working but have not been able to. Please help me out. I'm using the suggestions of those on here and using the http://www.dynamicsitesolutions.com...2/#relatedLinks menu (I'm a little confused over what the differences are but that's the least of my problems) What I want is a 2nd level drop down menu, but I'm clueless on how to go about it..??? 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;

I'm looking to add a drop down menu for my site but Instead of the menu dropping down i want it to go up and I found a few things about it but nothing really helped me I was wondering how can i get a css drop down to go up? sorry if this is the wrong forum to post on.. but i am clueless on this part i am going to be starting on the script soon just wanted to know how to code the script to make it go up Thank you Smackadoo 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 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 Help!! I am trying to design this website: nitrocanine .com/D/DDesign and the dropdown menus won't work in IE, while they work in Chrome, Safari, Firefox... does anyone know how to make them work in IE as well?? You can view the source and see the css coding and the relevant HTML. My second level menu items are not showing in IE, but show fine in firefox. Code: #menucontainer {
width: 100%;
clear: both;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-left:0px;
padding-top:35px;
padding-bottom:15px; }

Hi I am trying to create a drop down menu on my existing design. Code: http://dfinnema.com/help How would I add a drop down to Page 3 menu that looks like this: Code: http://dfinnema.com/help/images/dropdown_active.png Without the menu: Code: http://dfinnema.com/help/images/dropdown.png Any Ideas / Suggestions? :| Link: http://cemtec.quicksites.co.za CSS: http://cemtec.quicksites.co.za/wp-c...grass/style.css Hi This dropdown menu on Products works in Firefox but when I goto IE7 I dont see anything at all. 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. Hi all -- I've used plenty of CSS in the past, but I'm currently working on a dropdown menu that is more challenging than I had anticipated. 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!

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. 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;
}

Greetings, I sure would appreciate some help integrating a css dropdown menu into a site. If you visit www.mts-diesel.com in FF, the drop down works find, If you open it in IE9 the dropdown does not work, BUT if you open this page www.mts-diesel.com/menu.html in IE9 the dropdown works. This leads me to think that it might be some type of z-index issue perhaps but I cant put my finger on it. Thanks for any help. Tom Hi, My sub sub-menu won't work properly in IE regardless of version, but in FF and Chrome it's good to go. Basically, the sub sub-menu is covered up by the sub-menu. The sub sub-menu also appears when rolling over the main menu option, Resources, but it's blank. Weird stuff here. Here's a link: http://loganrealtyinc.com/ You can see what I'm talking about by mousing over: Resources > Things to Do See how the sub sub-menu options, thus Things to Do covers up Norton Museum and so forth? Any ideas? As always, thanks in advance. Hi folks Looking for a pure css dropdown menu to replace my dhtml one, I do very much like the Adx menu, as compared with suckerfish, for reasons which include: covers select and flash items on the page can colorise the hover background color right across the menu, giving a sense of link hierarchy on a narrow page, the final menu will double back on itself, and also reposition itself vertically if needed I've managed to solve one issue that their code did not seem to, if anyone is interested - removing the space between li items which IE creates - feel free to use the code he http://ied.gospelcom.net/adxmenustest2.html (I've just chosen some garish colors for the moment, so I can see what is going on.) One thing I want to do is add drop shadows. Right hand is OK - just a background image. To achieve a bottom drop shadow, I've added a small li item with a background image. Problem is, adding this extra li item at the end of each menu extends the length of the UL container, considerably more than is needed. In FF, it looks OK, (though there are a few unnecessary pixels above the shadow li item, but in IE, it extends way down below where the drop shadow li item is! Any ideas for removing this extra depth, ie pushing the ul border up, or another way of putting in a drop shadow. I have tried other things as well as an end li item, but the effect is the same! I suppose I could cover it up instead, but a css solution to do it properly would be better! Thanks for your wisdom! Tony |
