CSS - Need To Distinguish Css Drop-down Menu Lists From One Another
Hello all,
I have a site up with a menu that I need to replace. Before I do this, i need a bit more control over the different lists that make up the drop down menus. My goal is to have a unique ID for each list, that allows me to change the width and the position relative to its parent, or trigger. I am not sure what the CSS rules would be to call out each particular list after it has been given a unique identifier. Please see the code below which provides 2 menu lists and what i feel is the related CSS Code. If this code is not all that is needed, please let me know and I can post more of it. Thanks in advance, i know its a simple thing, but after experimenting, i have not been able to get the results I need. Menu Code Code: <ul id="p7menubar">
<li id="about"><a class="trigger" href="../about/index.html">About Us</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="../about/distinctions.html">Distinctions</a></li>

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!

Hi, I'm trying to build a simple menu for a layout in XHTML/CSS. I was thinking about having a list and then giving it a style, such as: Code: <ul class="menu"> <li id="menu_home">Home</li> <li id="menu_about">About Us</li> <li id="menu_contact">Contact Us</li> </ul> But then I would like the CSS to display the "li" items horizontally rather than vertically, and without bullets. Also, having the "Home", "About Us", etc, text replaced with images (CSS). Can this be done? I would really appreciate any guidance with this or any other ideas. Thanks, Ralph Here is a menu I am trying to build. I used different background colors to see what sections are doing what. Essentially what I am trying to achieve is that the menu items defined by the <li> (green) tag have text vertically centered in them and be the same height as the ul section (yellow). Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>My site</title>
<style type="text/css">

#level0 {
background: red;
clear: both; } /* end #level0 */
#level1 {
background: orange;
width: 957px;
margin: auto; } /* end #level1 */
#level1 ul {
background: yellow;
clear: both;
text-align: right;
border-right: thin solid #cfcfcf;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 40px; } /* end #level1 ul */
#level1 ul li {
background: green;
line-height: 40px;
font-size: 12px;
padding-top: 13px;
padding-bottom: 13px;
vertical-align: middle;
border-left: thin solid #cfcfcf;
text-align: right;
margin: 0;
color: #9f9f9f;
padding-left: 1em;
padding-right: 1em;
display: inline; } /* end #level1 ul li */
#level1 ul li.active { background: blue; } /* end #level1 ul li.active */
#level1 ul li a {
background: purple;
color: #9f9f9f; } /* end #level1 ul li a */
#level1 ul li a:hover {
background: inherit;
text-decoration: none; } /* end #level1 ul li a:hover */
#level1 ul li.active a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
background: none; } /* end #level1 ul li.active a:hover */

What happens is that this version renders as I want it in Safari, one pixel too high in Opera and Firefox, and several pixels too short in IE. What are some things I can try to fix this behavior so that it is consistent (-ly correct ) across browsers? Again for those that have helped me on other threads I greatly appreciate it. I have used CSS before but this is my first time using it for layout and am struggling with it a bit. You know how you can do <!--[if IE 6]> //code here <![endif]--> Can this be done to distinguish between Microsoft outlook 2007 and other mail clients? Thanks in advance. 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 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. I haven't been able to find the answer to my problem, so I'm hoping someone here is familiar with this issue. I should mention it works in Firefox, but I haven't tested any other browsers. 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. Alright, I've started to design the other pages on my site. I had to change some things in the code in order for my design to work properly. I didn't have it set up correctly before. So everything works the way I want it to now...except for the drop down menu. I am only a beginner with CSS and do not know much about it. I can't figure out what it is I did that made the navigation stop working. If maybe somebody that is more experienced than myself can take a look at it to see what I did, I would really appreciate it. Oh yea, here is the link to the beggining stages of my "about" page: About Keep in mind, nothing is really for sure yet. I just want to get the coding done, so if you think the page could use some sprucing up, you're not alone. As of now the site works best in Firefox and the drop down menu should appear when "Portfolio" is hovered over. Here is the link to the CSS: CSS Thanks an oxymoron i know it is... but i need my css menu to not drop down, but rather drop up, setting the tag to a negative top: value isnt working either, as not all the pop-up menu's used are the same height. Any suggestions, or tutorials that you know of? 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; } Howdy.

Any thoughts? 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. 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:

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>
Hi this theme had an old dropdown menu that was acting weird in some browsers so I updated it with a plugin and now to need to customize it to look a certain way. There are a few stylesheets at work because of the plugin but I am unable to discern why the "Contact Us" text is off-center in the button. I can see that it seems to be too long, but I don't know why it is favoring the right side of the background, instead of being centered in the background. If someone could help me demystify this I would be MUCH obliged. I will post a link so that it can be inspected... When I am allowed after 4 more posts! Please inspect the elements (too much code to post with all different style sheets at play!). Thank you. EDIT: here is link: http://drewclifton.com/clients/northern-computer/ You can also see that the dropdown under 'Services' looks funky; I'm thinking a 'sliding door' solution would be appropriate yes? Thank you. |
