CSS - Navigation Ie Problem
Navigation buttons appear just fine with Firefox but they stand 2 pixels down of their original location when viewed with internet explorer. I assigned almost everything margin:0px but did not fix my problem.

However, I have 2 problems. 1) getting the second (or third) column to always align to the top of the first 2) keeping the second column open when there are few items in the list ex: try choosing Partners and then a second column option. This design is currently in Flash, and thus is not accessible, however, hovering over 'dead' space, area without links, the bottom of column 2 closes the column 2 nav Thanks for any help!

I'm currently designing a website, with a verticle tabbed navigation bar (using CSS & Javascript). I need it so that when the user hovers over a tab, the content related to that tab, displays until another tab is hovered over. At the moment, when ever you move the mouse into the content area for a certain tab, the content disappears and goes back to the default 'Welcome' layer underneath. But the content layers will have links in them, and this need to be 'active', as it were. Please take a look (I would post a link, but I'm new here... ) Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title></title> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- function showLayer(layerName, shadowLayerName) { if (document.getElementById) // Netscape 6 and IE 5+ { var targetElement = document.getElementById(layerName); var shadowElement = document.getElementById(shadowLayerName); targetElement.style.top = shadowElement.style.top; targetElement.style.visibility = 'visible'; } } function hideLayer(layerName) { if (document.getElementById) { var targetElement = document.getElementById(layerName); targetElement.style.visibility = 'hidden'; } } // --> </script> <style type="text/css"><!-- .buttonBar { width:125px; padding: 0; margin: 0; } .shadow { position: relative; visibility: hidden; } .button { background:width:125px; height: 100px; } .bg {display: block; width:125px; height: 100px;} .bg#about:hover {background:url(...) no-repeat;} .bg#destinations:hover {background:url(...) no-repeat;} .bg#cruiselines:hover {background:url(...) no-repeat;} .bg#specialoffers:hover {background:url(...) no-repeat;} .bg#about:focus {background:url(...) no-repeat;} .information { visibility: hidden; position: absolute; padding: 0; margin: 0; background-color: #891344; height: 400px; width: 575px;} body { text-align: center; min-width: 700px; } #content { margin:0 auto; width:700px; text-align: left; } --> </style> </head> <body> <div id="content"> <div id="header" style="width:700px; height: 110px; text-align: right;"><img src="..." width="171" height="100"></div> <div class="buttonBar"> <div style="height: 400px; width: 575px; position: absolute; margin-left:125px; border: #891344 1px solid; "> <img src="..."> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Many thanks, Britcanuck. i have set up my navigation menu like so: PHP Code: <style type='text/css'> div#nav { border:1px solid #000000; background-color:#F2F2F2; height:auto; } div#nav a { display:block; color:black; border:1px solid #FFFFFF; } div#nav a:hover { color:red; border:1px solid #000000; background-color:white; } </style> <div class='nav'> <a href='page1.html'>Page 1</a> <a href='page2.html'>Page 2</a> <a href='page3.html'>Page 3</a> <a href='page4.html'>Page 4</a> </div> the above works perfectly in Firefox, but doesnt in IE. IE seems to keep around the fact that the <a> tag only encapsulates the text: Page 1, so the rollover effect only works in IE when the user hovers over the text and not anywhere in the row. Does IE not understand the display:block? as i think this is whats causing it... I'm working on the navigation the navigation for an image gallery I'm working on, but have run into some problems. It works fine in Firefox and Safari, but doesn't work in IE6, IE7, and Opera, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. The previous link and next link appears when they hover over the right and left side of the picture. I think it might be a problem with z-index, and the two link pictures getting stuck under the image in the image gallery, but I'm not sure. Any and all help is appreciated. This is the code for the gallery, minus the two navigation pictures and the image for the gallery.

It's really frustrating me. I've tried looking around other websites for help too. Kim Hi All, I am building a site that has the following structure for the navigation; Code: <div id="navigation"> <ul id="navlist"> <li class="home"><a href="../index.asp" title="home"><span>home</span></a></li> <li class="aboutus"><a href="../aboutus.htm" title="aboout us"><span>about us</span></a></li> <li class="ourservices"><a href="../ourservices.htm" title="our services"><span>our services</span></a> <ul> <li class="internationalmail"><a href="ourservices_internationalmail.htm" title="international mail"><span>international mail</span></a></li> <li class="worldwidecourier"><a href="ourservices_worldwidecourier.htm" title="worldwide courier"><span>worldwide courier</span></a></li> <li class="worldwidefreight"><a href="ourservices_worldwidefreight.htm" title="worldwide freight"><span>worldwide freight</span></a></li> <li class="storage"><a href="ourservices_storage.htm" title="storage"><span>storage</span></a></li> <li class="publishingservices"><a href="ourservices_publishingservices.htm" title="publishing services"><span>publishing services</span></a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="requestquote"><a href="../requestquote.htm" title="request a quote"><span>request a quote</span></a></li> <li class="contactus"><a href="../contactus.htm" title="contact us"><span>contact us</span></a></li> </ul> </div> The main LI is horizontal, and the containing UL, LI is a vertical dropdown. The seperate CSS file does the image replacements on the <a> and hides the text within the <span>, usual stuff. The nav works great, with the graphic rollovers etc. The rollover, again, standard way of doing it, background: url(<FILE>) no-repeat top left; and the a:hover rollover is a background: bottom left;. Edit: Just noticed that I can't link to the full site that I have uploaded for preview. What I want to do, is when the user roll's over any of the items within the sub-navigation, it keeps the main Services navigation link rolled over also. The only way I could think of doing this, and relatively simply, would be to use JavaScript, but wanted to explore any other CSS ways of doing this. For example, is it possible to change a style of another class, from another? Your help would be much appreciated! Hey guys I am currently having an issue with a CSS Navigation. I was wondering if anyone was available to help me out. http://schoolwide.sgajewski.com/menu/ I am currently having an issue with IE 7. It seems to be working in every other browser but the second level of the navigation is offset lower in IE7. The spacing starts off 1 pixel two low and progressively the gap gets wider. Code: ul.vertical, ul.vertical li { margin:0; padding:0; list-style-type:none; font-size:100%; } ul.vertical { position:absolute; z-index:1000; cursor:default; width:180px; left:1em; top:4.05em; } ul.vertical li { position:relative; text-align:left; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand; width:180px; margin:-1px 0 0 0; padding-bottom:0px!important; padding-bottom:1px; float:left; clear:both; top:0; left:0; } ul.vertical ul { z-index:1020; cursor:default; position:absolute; width:197px; margin:0 0 0 179px; top:-100em; left:-1px; padding:1px 0 0 0; height:0px; overflow:hidden; } ul.vertical ul li { width:197px; } ul.vertical ul ul { margin: 0 0 0 179px; } @media Screen, Projection { ul.vertical li:hover > ul { top:0; height:auto; overflow:visible; } } ul.vertical a, ul.vertical a:visited { display:block; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand; background:url(images/bg.jpg); padding:5px 7px; font:normal normal bold 0.7em tahoma, verdana, sans-serif; color:#008000; text-decoration:none; letter-spacing:1px; } ul.vertical a:hover, ul.vertical a:focus, ul.vertical a.rollover, ul.vertical a.rollover:visited { background:url(images/bg_over.jpg); color:#806020; } ul.vertical .outtop {background:url(images/bg_over_top.jpg);} ul.vertical .outbg {background:url(images/bg_over_mid.jpg);} ul.vertical .outbot {background:url(images/bg_over_bot.jpg);} ul.vertical ul a, ul.vertical ul a:hover, ul.vertical ul a:visited, ul.vertical ul a:active ul.vertical ul a:hover, ul.vertical ul a:focus, ul.vertical ul a.rollover, ul.vertical ul a.rollover:visited { background-image:none; } @media screen, projection { * html ul.vertical li { display:inline; f\loat:left; background:#ffffff; } } * html ul.vertical li { position:static; } * html ul.vertical a { position:relative; } ul[class^="vertical"] ul { display:none; } ul[class^="vertical"] ul { displa\y:block; } Any help on why this is offset in IE7 would be great. Thanks in advance. How is this navigation done on the top of the page? I looked at the CSS and all the javascript. I can't see how the drop down is created? I tried to replicate it and copied the background images. I can get the menu to show and rollovers work. Just the drop down won't work. http://jmadvertising.com/ I'm pretty new to CSS, but I've managed to put together a website based from a psd, that validates and everything has gone well. My menu, however, is pretty shoddy. I have everything positioned the way I want it, but what I want to do is convert the lists inside from dropping down to being horizontal parallell to the nav bar itself. From: --- --- --- --- | | To: _ _ _ --- --- --- --- The site is here. Ignore the issues with the absolute positioning; its because of the ads at the top, and it doesn't affect the nav bar. I am desperatefor some help, it is ridiculous to figure out. Anyone who can help me, I would be crazy grateful.

So I'm trying to make my html more semantic, so I'm trying to avoid divs and spans as much as possible. I'm trying to make an unordered list navigation, but it shows up really choppy in IE7. However, the moment I change it from <ul id="navigation"> to <div id="navigation">, it works perfectly. Just for semantics sake I'd like to see if I could keep the ul working. Here's the html code, it validates xhtml strict so you don't have to worry about that.

I appreciate your time and effort! I have a nice little vertical navigation block that I would like to use in multiple pages within the same website. I would like to use the nav block without repeating the code, but I can't figure out how to do it. I have put the code in navigation.htm. What do I do next? hi, i was wondering if anyone knw any links to ultra super dooper cool websites for css navigations. I want to learn how to do ace ones. I have already googleed about, I found the sliding doors on ALA an stuff but i need that little bit more cool tutorials prefrably!! I did find one cool one athttp://www.bulkherbstore.com/ thanks tom. Hello, I'm new to the forum and not very good with CSS yet. I'm slowly moving from tables to CSS. I set up a sample page to describe the problem I'm having but the forum won't allow me to post the URL here. I have a vertical CSS "LI" navigation section in the left hand sidebar of this web page and it works perfectly in every Mac browser I try it on (very latest Mac versions of Opera, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Camino, Omniweb, etc.). There's a white, 1-pixel horizontal spacer/separator line between each link in the left sidebar which is supposed to be 220 pixels wide. It is 220 pixels wide on all the Mac browsers I try it on but for some reason, as soon as I try the web page in IE 7 or IE 8, the white horizontal 1-pixel divider line is shorter and ends up being only 195 pixels wide and throws the whole, nice and "even" look off. I don't understand where the 25 pixels are disappearing to in IE 7 and IE 8. Can anyone offer any insight as to what the fix may be or what I've done wrong? Below is the code I've used to create the navigation. Thanks so much. HTML Code: Code: <div id="navcontainer"> <ul id="navlist"> <li id="active"><a href="#" id="current">Home</A></li> <li><a href="#">On To Page 2</A></li> <li><a href="#">On To Page 3</A></li> <li><a href="#">On To Page 4</A></li> <li><a href="#">On To Page 5</A></li> </ul> </div> CSS Code: Code: #navlist { padding-left: 25px; margin-left: 0; width: 220px; } #navlist li { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0.25em; border-top: 1px solid white; } #navlist li a { background: transparent url(../images/list_off.gif) left center no-repeat; padding-left: 15px; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #277eb1; text-decoration: none; line-height: 30px; } #navcontainer ul li a:hover { background: transparent url(../images/list_on.gif) left center no-repeat; color: #da251c; } #navcontainer ul li a#current { background: transparent url(../images/list_active.gif) left center no-repeat; color: #999999; } I've created navigation buttons in Photoshop by making an 818px wide document, spacing out the words, then slicing them up. My navigation division is 818px wide but when I insert the buttons I created, they don't fit. I do not have any borders around them that I can tell. Why would this happen? http://www.oharenoise.org/new/2009_news_releases.htm I'm editing a CSS drop down navigation that uses <ul> and <li>. Is there a way to change the background color & rollover in just one of the dropdowns? The code is below in two sections. I've highlighted the list that I'd like to change the background color of. Thanks for your help!
