CSS - Dropdown Fails In New Ff3

Hi,

I'm trying to solve a little CSS issue with, guess what!, IE6.

92 (dot) 48 (dot) 108 (dot) 113 (forward slash) ~anyjob

In FF all is good, but when viewed in IE the nav bar has been forced down to misalign with my background red strip.

Also the dropdowns don't work.

Could anyone point me in the right direction. I don't think this is a float issue and I've read up as much as possible but this is really confusing me. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

hello,

i was reading the well-known suckerfish dropdown tutorial and was trying to do something like it. i thought i had understood the logic behind it, but i can't get it to work.

the nested unordered lists appear like so:

ITEM1
subitem1 subitem2 subitem3
ITEM2
subitem1 subitem2 subitem3

i wanted them to appear like so:

subitem1____subitem1
subitem2____subitem2
subitem3____subitem3
ITEM1_______ITEM 2

the positioning isn't too relevant, all i really wanted was to pull the nested ul out of the flow...

i made sure that the li ul part was positioned absolutely, but i can't do anything with it (no styling, no anything). my css/code must be the problem, but i can't see what i'm doing wrong. here's the relevant code:

CSS:
Code:

#menu ul { 
position: relative;
margin: 8em 0 0 0;
float: left; 
background-color: #D60078;
list-style-type: none;
}

#menu li 	{ 
display: inline; 
padding: 0 2.5em 0 0;
position: relative; 
}

#menu li a:link, a:visited { 
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
color: #FFF;
}

#menu li a:hover, a:active 	{ 
text-decoration: underline;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
color: #FFF;
}

#menu li ul { position: absolute; 
left: 0; top: 0; 
background-color: #FFF;
display: block; 
} 

HTML:
Code:

<ul id="menu">
<li><a href="">ITEM1</a>
<!-- SUBMENU -->
<ul>
<li><a href="">subitem1</a></li>
<li><a href="">subitem2</a></li>
<li><a href="">subitem3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

<li><a href="">ITEM2</a>
<!-- SUBMENU -->
<ul>
<li><a href="">subitem1</a></li>
<li><a href="">subitem2</a></li>
<li><a href="">subitem3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

</ul>

i hope that made sense (after working on this for hours and trying everything that came to mind, i'm getting a little incoherent).

thanks for any help!

I've developed a dropdown navigation menu from a tutorial. The basic menu works perfect in IE and FF. But I would like to change a few things that for the life of me I can't get to work. First would be that under each item in the dropdown menu I would like there to be a bottom border. So in my css file I added border-bottom to the li li {} section. Now I am faced with two problems.

First in firefox the border expends maybe 5px. Apon further investigation I found that for some reason FF has the <li> tags only about 5px wide all over the place! In IE it extends atleast below the text but won't will the entire <li> like it should! FF also doesn't give the border to all the links like it should.

The next problem is in the width of the elements. Instead of the dropdown part being a set width, I would like the the part that drops down to stretch so that each link is on one line. But the entire part that drops down would be still remain rectangular like it does now.
Code:

Ex:
[Link1][Link2][Link3]  *with the mouse over the link 1

|Url1      |
|Url2      |
|Much Longer|

instead of

[Link1][Link2][Link3]  *with the mouse over the link 1
|Url1 |
|Url2 |
|Much|
|Longer|

I think this has something to do with the width of the li, so I set the width to auto. No change.

To recap my lengthy post. Getting a bottom border on the li tags in the dropdown Getting FF to behave with the bottom border and widths Each link should be on only one line
I think that getting the <li> width to behave will solve most of my problems. I've attached the original css and html pages.

I made a drop down menu with css and I can't get it to work with IE6. Can anyone help?

You can view an example of what I have at the following url

mentalgameofmoney.co.uk/example.html

Here is the CSS
Code:

#menu {
position:absolute;
background-color:#FF0000;
overflow:hidden;
height:30px; 
width:91px;
top:0px;
left:0px;
}
#menu:hover{
overflow:visible;
}
#menu a:link{
text-decoration:none;
}
#spacer{
height:30px;
}
#link_box{
background-color:#cbbba2;
border-left:#c1ad90 solid 1px;
border-right:#c1ad90 solid 1px;
border-bottom:#c1ad90 solid 1px;
padding-left:5px;
color:#51351a;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:bold;
font-size:12px;
text-decoration:none;
text-align:left;
}
#link_box:hover{
background-color:#51351a;
color:#FFFFFF;
}

Here is the HTML
Code:

<div  id="menu">
  <a href="#">
  <div id="spacer"></div></a>
   <a  href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a> 
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
  </div>

Hi all, I have a dropdown menu that appears onmouseover and goes away onmouseout. The code works as it is posted here, works. What I was trying to do, was to move the style tag in the div with the id 'p_default_1', into a class in the CSS file. But when I remove the style tag from the div, and add the class (class="menu1"), the dropdown menu no longer gets displayed when i roll over it.

note to mods: sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I just don't know what the problem is with.

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? :|

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 working on my first suckerfish dropdown for a site. I'm encountering two problems.

1) There is no background color on the subitems when i select the main item, making them hard to read

2) Internet Explorer displays the dropdown to the right of the main list item, rather than below. Netscape displays it correctly. Is this due to something I altered?

Thanks for your help

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!

(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.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section but i'm not sure if it should be here or in the javascript section. Here is the CSS code that I am making. I am trying to make a javascript drop down but the css is preventing the code from becoming a vertical dropdown. It justs goes to the left. Here is the beggining css for it and I am having trouble making it like that. Sorry if I can't be more descriptive but i've been trying to work for 5 hours and got nothing. Can any one please help.

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; }

#menu {
text-align: center;
display:table;
padding:5;
margin:0 auto;
list-style-type:none;
white-space:nowrap;
background: #eee;
}

#menu ul {
font: small-caps bold 12px/15px "lucida grande", tahoma, arial, verdana, sans-serif;
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 7em;
float: left;
}

#menu a {
font: bold 11px/16px arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
display: block;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #ccc #888 #555 #bbb
margin: 0;
padding: 2px 3px;
}

#menu a {
color: #C7C7C7;
background: #000;
text-transform: small-caps;
}

#menu a:hover {
color: #fff;
background: #000000;
}

/* ********* secondary links ************** */

#menu li li a {
color: #C7C7C7;
background: #292A2C;
text-decoration: none;
}

#menu li li a:hover {
color: #FFF;
background: #292A2C;
}

#menu li:hover { z-index:1;}

#menu li {position: relative}

#menu ul ul {
position: absolute;
z-index:100;
left:0;
top:auto;
display:none;
}

div#menu ul ul,
div#menu ul li:hover ul ul
{display: none;}

div#menu ul li:hover ul,
div#menu ul ul li:hover ul
{display: block;}

<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">

}

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

I am in need of a code that will show a div (anysize) directly below a link and remain there when the mouse moves of the div but hides when the mouse moves out can someone please guide me to a code
