CSS - Suggestion(s) For Drop Down Menu...
I have the following web page -
www.brooksidetransmission.com/services.asp If you scroll down you will see how I have presented the service categories. What I am after is something like the following: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/drop_lists Put your mouse over the United States. You will see a nicely formatted submenu with 3 columns. I would like to duplicate something like this for my service categories. I tried integrating this into my existing menu but got nowhere. I would like to know how some of you would do this? I thought to put a js function call on the existing <li> for the services link and then show sub menu, BUT I'd rather do this with the css hover. If anyone has any suggestions they'd be appreciated. T Similar TutorialsHello 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! Here is the page: http://www.littlebuddymedia.com/site05/012.html 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;

Following sample is from http://www.code-couch.com/jeff/snippets/general/tektips-navigation-example.html is what I am trying to reference to create a template. But how do I how keep the state of Menu on each requested page any help is appreciated. The following menu is saved in a separate jsp file i.e. navs.jsp. I include this navigation jsp file in all of my files. Initially the drop down looks like: Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [+] Google.com . [+] Yahoo.com Now clicking [+] in front of Google.com will look like. Code:
. Ask.Jeeves
. [-] Google.com
. Google.co.ie
. Google.co.ie
. [+] Google.co.nz
. [+] Yahoo.com
Lets's say now if I click on Google.co.ie it takes me to sample.jsp and on this requested page (sample.jsp) how can I show the following menu hierarchy with Google.co.ie bold/underlined/colorchanged showing what menu content I clicked and am viewing the appropriate content i.e. Code:
. Ask.Jeeves
. [-] Google.com
. Google.co.ie
. Google.co.ie
. [+] Google.co.nz
. [+] Yahoo.com
Same way clicking Google.com or Yahoo.com or Ask.Jeeves shows you the following hierarchy on the requested page with higlight/bold/colored the link we just selected. i.e. Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [+] Google.com . [+] Yahoo.com Any time clicking on the menu takes me to some page but on that page I want to show th hierarchy of the menu all the way to which is recently clicked with different color setting. Here is the source for the above: Code:

Any help is really appreciated thanks. EDIT:: Simplier way to write the question ^.^ :: When I scroll off the menu/link onto the first link in the submenu it stays, but when I mvoe down to the next item in the submenu it disappears. (My drop down is vertically aligned on the left.) (bits of the code that relate to the menu) PHP Code: .btn1 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 200px; } .btn2 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 240px; } .btn3 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 280px; } .btn4 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 320px; } .btn5 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 360px; } .btn6 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 400px; } .btn7 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 440px; } .btn8 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 480px; } .link1 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 240px; } .link2 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 280px; } .link3 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 320px; } .link4 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 360px; } .link5 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 400px; } .link6 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 440px; } .link7 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 480px; } .link8 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 520px; } .link9 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 560px; } #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; } #nav a { display: block; width: 100px; } #nav li { width: 100px; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; width: 100px; left: -9999px; display: none; top: 0; z-index: 3; } #nav li:hover ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } #nav li:over ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } PHP Code: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn1" src="../mainbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MainBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn2" src="../blogbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="BlogBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link1"><a href=""><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="bMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link2"><a href="#"><img src="../anmbtn.gif" alt="bAnimeBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="#"><img src="../mgabtn.gif" alt="bMangaBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="#"><img src="../gmebtn.gif" alt="bGameBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="#"><img src="../bookbtn.gif" alt="bBookBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img class="btn3" src="../musebtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MuseBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link2"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="mMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../pmbtn.gif" alt="mPoemBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../stybtn.gif" alt="mStoryBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../drmbtn.gif" alt="mDreamBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img class="btn4" src="../oddbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ComicBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="cMainBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBart.htm"><img class="btn5" src="../artbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ArtBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="aMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="aRecentBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../gaibtn.gif" alt="aGaiaBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img class="btn6" src="../picbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="PicsBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="pMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="pRecentBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBfaq.htm"><img class="btn7" src="../faqbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="FaqBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBcon.htm"><img class="btn8" src="../contactbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ContactBtn"></a> </li> </ul> <script type="text/javascript" src="drop_down.js"></script> the "nav" is referring to a bit of js, and this is in my header. Also not sure if it's correct, but I can worry about that later. link: The Page Hi all, I've got a horizontal menu that is working just fine in every browser but IE 6 and 7. In IE it's almost there, except that the submenus will only appear one level deep. The menu is created with nested lists. The :hover functionality is simulated via JavaScript for IE 6. The IE developer toolbar shows the 3rd level menu is correctly being changed to display: block when its parent is hovered, and the border the dev toolbar draws even puts it in the correct place, it just doesn't actually appear. You can find the page he http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/ The CSS and JS (uses jQuery) can be found he http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/css/screen.css http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/css/ie.css (loaded with a conditional comment) http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/js/tdps.js http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/js/ie.js (loaded with a conditonal comment) For a specific example of what I'm talking about, try hovering over the second item, Filters & Parts. This will give you another level with four choices. Each of those also has child elements, but when hovered over, the next level doesn't appear. Try it in something other than IE 6 or 7 to see how it's supposed to look. Thanks very much in advance! I working on a CSS to display a round-shouldered-tab menu. My result is acceptable: http://rickduley.webs.com/roundShoulderTabMenu.jpg except for the fact that the tabs are set below the menuBar on which the are supposed to display. I have run out of ideas. Would someone please set me on the right path? Thanks. P.S.: the code is at http://rickduley.webs.com/roundShoulderTabMenu.zip.kgb - you have to delete the 'dot key gee bee' suffix. I have created a style sheet drop down menu and it works fine in mozilla and most times in works in ie however sometimes the menu will not drop down in ie but when you hit refresh the menu drops down. any ideas. Below is my stylesheet for creating a css drop down menu - I am using csshover.htc for internet explorer and this in the html <!--[if IE]> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> body { behavior: url(<%lcURLTheme2%><%lcThemeName%>css/csshover.htc);} #menu ul li {float: left; width: 100%;} #menu ul li a {height: 1%;} </style> <![endif]--> #menu { z-index: 2000; background: url(../images/hoz_menu_BG.gif) repeat-x #8898BC; background-color: #8898BC; color: black; position: absolute; width: 100%; text-align: center; left: 0; cursor: pointer; font-size: .9em; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; border-bottom: 5px solid #CCD6EB; } /*top level for student*/ #menu #st ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 19.7%; float: left; } /*2nd level for student*/ #menu #st ul ul { width: 80%; position: absolute; left: 0; z-index: 500; } /*3rd level for student*/ #menu #st ul ul ul { width: 90%; position: absolute; left: 100%; top: 1px; } #menu a { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: transparent; text-decoration: none; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 4px 2px 4px 5px; } #menu a:link { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #4D678C; } #menu a:visited { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #4D678C; } #menu a:hover { color: #000000; background-color: #ABBAD7; } #menu ul { border-right: 1px dotted #FFFFFF; } #menu li { position: relative; } #menu ul ul li {border-bottom: 1px solid #FFFFFF; } #menu ul ul { border-right: 1px solid #FFFFFF; } #menu ul ul { border-top: 1px solid #FFFFFF; } /*#menu ul ul ul { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 100%; }*/ div#menu ul ul , div#menu ul li:hover ul ul, div#menu ul ul li:hover ul ul { display: none; } div#menu ul li:hover ul, div#menu ul ul li:hover ul, div#menu ul ul ul li:hover ul { display: block; } /*2nd menu colours - uses #menu styles and then overwrites them for top menu links*/ div#menu ul li li a { color: white; background-color: #4D678C; text-transform: capitalize; text-align: left; border-left: 1px solid #FFFFFF; } The code is here on an old Proboards test site: http://kayaoti.proboards.com/index.cgi The menu in the black bar is just one I used from a free code. It works fine except when you hover over the items, the drop-down tabs are out of alignment. I'm not code-savvy enough to know how to make them drop straight down or how to move them so they look nicer, but I'm guessing someone here could help me out in that regard. How can I edit the code (shown below) or whatever else to make the drop-down tabs look better aligned with the menu items? Code: <style type="text/css" media="screen"> /**************** menu coding *****************/ #menu { width: 748px; background: #000; float: left; } #menu ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 12em; float: left; } #menu h2 { color: #000; background: #000; text-transform: uppercase; } #menu a, #menu h2 { font: bold 11px/16px arial, helvetica, sans-serif; display: block; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000 #000 #000 #000; margin: 0; padding: 2px 3px; } #menu a { color: #fff; background: #000000; text-decoration: none; } #menu a:hover { color: #fff; background: #000; } #menu li {position: relative;} #menu ul ul { position: absolute; z-index: 500; } #menu ul ul ul { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 100%; } div#menu ul ul, div#menu ul li:hover ul ul, div#menu ul ul li:hover ul ul {display: none;} div#menu ul li:hover ul, div#menu ul ul li:hover ul, div#menu ul ul ul li:hover ul {display: block;} </style> <!--[if IE]> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> #menu ul li {float: left; width: 100%;} </style> <![endif]--> <!--[if lt IE 7]> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> body { behavior: url(csshover.htc); font-size: 100%; } #menu ul li a {height: 1%;} #menu a, #menu h2 { font: bold 0.7em/1.4em arial, helvetica, sans-serif; } </style> <![endif]--> <div id="menu" style="position:relative; left:301px; top:483px;"> <ul><li><a href="http://dominionwolves.proboards.com/"><IMG SRC="http://i44.tinypic.com/24zb1vq.png" border="0"></a></li></ul> <ul><li><IMG SRC="http://i43.tinypic.com/311lyra.png" style="position:relative; left:-40px; top:2px;"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.seoconsultants.com/tips/css/#cssmenus">CSS Hover Navigation</a> <ul> <li><a href="../css-dropdown-menus.html" title="tanfa Introduction">Intro for CSS Enthusiasts</a></li> <li><a href="index.html" title="Plain HTML Code">Demonstration HTML</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html" title="whatever:hover file">csshover.htc file</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><IMG SRC="http://i39.tinypic.com/2cne1d5.png" style="position:relative; left:0px; top:2px;"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.seoconsultants.com/tips/css/#cssmenus" title="SEO Consultants Directory">CSS Hover Navigation</a> <ul> <li><a href="../css-dropdown-menus.html" title="tanfa Introduction">Intro for CSS Enthusiasts</a></li> <li><a href="index.html" title="Plain HTML Code">Demonstration HTML</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html" title="whatever:hover file">csshover.htc file</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><IMG SRC="http://i40.tinypic.com/24ffxu1.png" style="position:relative; left:55px; top:2px;"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/menus/vertical/" title="SEO Consultants Vertical Example">SEO Consultants Sample</a></li> <li><a href="vs7.html" title="Complete Example">tanfa Demo example</a> <ul> <li><a href="tutorial-v.html" title="Vertical Menu Tutorial">tanfa Tutorial</a> <ul> <li><a href="vs1.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 1">Stage 1</a></li> <li><a href="vs2.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 2">Stage 2</a></li> <li><a href="vs3.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 3">Stage 3</a></li> <li><a href="vs4.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 4">Stage 4</a></li> <li><a href="vs5.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 5">Stage 5</a></li> <li><a href="vs6.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 6">Stage 6</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><IMG SRC="http://i42.tinypic.com/15cerno.png" style="position:relative; left:65px; top:2px;"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/menus/horizontal/" title="SEO Consultants Directory Example">SEO Consultants Sample</a></li> <li><a href="hs7.html">tanfa Demo example</a><!-- fully working sample --> <ul> <li><a href="tutorial-h.html" title="Horizontal Menu Tutorial">tanfa Tutorial</a> <ul> <li><a href="hs1.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 1">Stage 1</a></li> <li><a href="hs2.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 2">Stage 2</a></li> <li><a href="hs3.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 3">Stage 3</a></li> <li><a href="hs4.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 4">Stage 4</a></li> <li><a href="hs5.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 5">Stage 5</a></li> <li><a href="hs6.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 6">Stage 6</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div>
I have a horizontal menu that drops vertically when you hover over a menu item. In IE7, the menu hides behind images making it invisible if it drops in a spot where an image is at.

Hi all, I am trying to style a drop-down menu. I'd like the hover state to have a transparent cut out on the menu... and the bottom of the drop down to be rounded. Probably makes more sense in the picture... which I am apparently not allowed to post. grrr. So think little triangle, but instead of being a different color, it is a transparent cut out. I've been banging my head into the keyboard for a couple of hours and can't seem to find the right way to tackle this. The problem is compounded by some of the menu items not have submenus. I'd like those to hover as if they were the bottom link in the drop down... ie, a notched edge and rounded bottom border. I would really appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction here. Many thanks, -helga Hi, I am working on my site, and was wondering if anyone knew how to do a menu like this http://www.vh1.com/music/ The one on the left in blue.. how it turns to white. I am pretty sure this is done with css. Can anyone tell me how this is done? Thanks Hi, I am trying to make a drop down menu using only CSS. I want to be able to set the width of the menu and don't want the width to be dependant of size of the menu option. This is the XHTML code (I am using 1.0 strict): <div class="option"> <form name="navigation"> <select name="selectname" SIZE="1"> <option class="">not wide enough</option> <option class=""></option> <option class=""></option> <option class=""></option> </select> </form> </div> And the CSS part: div.option { position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 0px; width: 520px; height: 50px; z-index: 3; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; } What I would really like is to set the menu width to preffered (in pixels) and not as wide as the phrase "not wide enough" makes it. Is this possible with CSS. I am rying to avoid Javascript and tables (btw I'm using only divs as much as possible. Can someone point me where to look for this kind of thing. Thanks. I had made a site with a pure CSS drop down menu (using hover). The problem is that it works fine in the various browsers... IE6, FF1.x, NS, Opera... But it doesn't work in IE7. Anyone know a work around for using the hover as a drop down with IE7? I can paste the code later (when I get back to where my site is) if needed. Thanks for any input. I have made a menu which I love because it is the layout that I want. However, I am having problems with the menu when I try to add a "Drop Down" feature to it. The menu I currently have and use is: http://www.gc40.com/menu2.html I would like to turn some of the tabs like services into a drop down menu. I found a script that was a drop down menu and I tried to customize it to match my original menu but failed. The script that I found is: http://www.gc40.com/menu1.html Is there anyone that can customize http://www.gc40.com/menu2.html for me using http://www.gc40.com/menu1.html so that I can have drop down capabilities? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks guys. Howdy. Take a look here. The menu is dropping behind the div for the body section in IE. I've tried mucking with the z-index, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Here's the menu code; Code:
#menu {
width:780px;
height:28px;
background: #CCCCCC url(images/menu_img.gif) no-repeat center top;
}
ul#nav {
padding: 0;
margin:0 25px 0 25px;
list-style: none;
}
li.navB {
float: left;
position: relative;
width: 230px;
margin:7px 0 7px 0;
font:bold 12px arial, verdana, sans-serif;
text-decoration:none;
color:#2F60C0;
}
li ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 15px;
left: 0;
padding:5px;
width:100px;
list-style:none;
margin:0;
z-index:3;
}
li ul li{
padding:2px;
width:100px;
list-style:none;
margin:auto;
}
li:hover ul, li.over ul{
display: block;
background:white;
border:1px solid #333333;
width:100px;
padding:5px;
position:absolute;
}
and the body code Code:
.product_container {
width:720px;
margin:auto;
margin-top:4px;
margin-bottom:4px;
border:1px solid black;
min-height:270px;
position:relative;
clear:both;
z-index:1;
}
.product_info {
float:left;
width:500px;
position:relative;
z-index:1;
}
.product_image {
float:right;
margin:auto;
margin-top:20px;
margin-bottom:20px;
position:relative;
font:10px arial;
color:#666666;
text-align:center;
z-index:1;
}
.clear {
clear:both;
margin-top:-1px;
height:1px;
overflow:hidden;
}
Any thoughts? Thanks Hi I have the following script is from http://tiernok.com/tt/dropdown/styles/caffeine.css and http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/ that I am trying to modify. It runs fine both in IE and Netscape but look and feel is what I am trying to make it work. Here is the issue I am facing and have tried but couldn't figure it out 1. In IE when hovering over Services And Implementation there's too much gap between Services And Implementation and History1Histy1 as in FireFox it comes out fine but everything is overlapped. Want to have less gap between menu and sub-menu. 2. How can I increase the width for the menus and sub menus, as I want to fit everything in table width of 586. Code:

Any help is appreciated. Thanks Hi all, I'm having an issue with a drop down menu and have been beating myself up trying to figure it out. If I position the menu as relative it works when I resize the page/browser but it screws up the layout of the page (I put the <div> code right below the menu images to get it lined up but it throws the layout way off). By works I mean the menu will open right below the "Company" menu item regardless of browser size. Positioning the menu using absolute, it doesn't move if I resize the browser, etc. but it doesn't screw up the layout of the page. So my question is, how can I get this menu to always be under the correct menu option? You can use the link below to view my test page. The page is currently using absolute positioning and the coordinates are off since I was playing with the various positioning schemes. http://www.info-adv.com/test/css Any insight/help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. If you need me to elaborate or better explain my problem please let me know. Thanks, Tim |
