CSS - Navigation Bar Not Sized Well
if you look under the top banner on my site, the navigation bar is too tall and wide, and all of the buttons don't even fit the full width of the page.
it is partially complicated because two of the ten buttons have drop-down menus created through javascript. it is a horizontal ul with the buttons floated left. i'll give you the cut-down html code and then the css to go along with it so you get the general idea. navigation menu html: html Code: Original - html Code <div id='navbar'> <ul id="sddm"> <?php echo " <li> <a href='".get_home_link()."'><img src='[themedir]images/home_icon.gif' alt=''>Home</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_category_link("name=all&page=1")."'"; ?> onmouseover='mopen("m1")' <?php echo " onmouseout='mclosetime()'><img src='[themedir]images/allgames_icon.gif' alt=''>Games</a> <div id='m1' onmouseover='mcancelclosetime()' onmouseout='mclosetime()'> "; $categories = get_categories("htmlize=true&order=order&sort=ASC&parent=Games"); foreach ($categories as $category) { $link=get_category_link("name="._sp($category['name'])."&page=1"); echo "<a href='".$link."'>".$category['name']; $category['gamenum'] = count(get_games("thecat="._sp($category['name']))); echo " (".$category['gamenum'].")"; echo "</a>"; } $link=get_category_link("name=Unvalidated&page=1"); $unvalidated_games=get_games("active=No"); $num_unvalidated=count($unvalidated_games); echo " <a href='".$link."'>Unvalidated (".$num_unvalidated.")</a> </div> </li> <li> <a href='".get_category_link("name=all&page=1&cattype=videos")."'"; ?> onmouseover='mopen("m2")' <?php echo " onmouseout='mclosetime()'><img src='[themedir]images/videos_icon.gif' alt=''>Videos</a> <div id='m2' onmouseover='mcancelclosetime()' onmouseout='mclosetime()'> "; $categories = get_categories("htmlize=true&order=order&sort=ASC&parent=Videos"); foreach ($categories as $category) { $link=get_category_link("name="._sp($category['name'])."&page=1&cattype=videos"); echo "<a href='".$link."'>".$category['name']; $category['gamenum'] = count(get_games("cattype=videos&thecat="._sp($category['name']))); echo " (".$category['gamenum'].")"; echo "</a>"; } $link=get_category_link("name=Unvalidated&page=1&cattype=videos"); $unvalidated_games=get_games("active=No&cattype=videos"); $num_unvalidated=count($unvalidated_games); echo " <a href='".$link."'>Unvalidated (".$num_unvalidated.")</a> </div> </li> <li> <a href='".get_users_link()."'><img src='[themedir]images/members_icon.gif' alt=''>Members</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_news_link()."'><img src='[themedir]images/news_icon.gif' alt=''>News</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_submit_link()."'><img src='[themedir]images/request_icon.gif' alt=''>Submit</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_links_link()."'><img src='[themedir]images/links_icon.gif' alt=''>Links</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_rules_link()."'><img src='[themedir]images/rules_icon.gif' alt=''>Rules</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_faq_link()."'><img src='[themedir]images/faq_icon.gif' alt=''>FAQ</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_contact_link()."'><img src='[themedir]images/contact_icon.gif' alt=''>Contact</a> </li>"; ?> </ul> <div style="clear:both"></div> </div>

so what i want is for the buttons (<li>s) to have the exact height of their background div, which is 31px, and i also want them to fill 100% of their background div's width. how can i make this possible? Similar TutorialsI can't see it working (and in practice it hasn't). Surely the background position needs to be fixed as the image is not scalable. I hope I am right on this or it's back to the drawing board. I got a bit of a problem, I don't know if this is possible but I want a container that resizes depending on the content inside it. BUT I want the rest of the containers to be the same size as the biggest. I.e. --------- --------- --------- --------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --------- --------- --------- --------- See the first one is bigger? Well I want the rest to be of the same size, i.e. --------- --------- --------- --------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --------- --------- --------- --------- Hello! Is it possible to get iframe fully fill the div when div is in the middle of the screen and it is absolutely positioned and left,right,top,bottom: 100px; I have a full page menu which resizes. eg item1 | item2 | item3 | item4 | item5 | item6 Which resizes depening on the window size. However if you shrink the window X ways, it does the following item1 | item2 | item3 | item4 | item5 | item6 how can I stop it wrapping the items to new lines heres my code. Code:
#menu2 {
display : inline;
white-space : nowrap;
width: 100%;
margin: 1em 0;
padding: 0px 0.5em;
background: #eee none;
}
#menu2 ul {
display : inline;
white-space : nowrap;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
#menu2 li {
display : inline;
white-space : nowrap;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: left;
}
#menu2 li {
white-space : nowrap;
display : inline;
width: 24%;
text-align: center;
}
#menu2 a {
float:left;
display:block;
margin: 2px 0 0;
text-decoration: none;
padding-right: 0.4em;
padding-left: 0.65em;

and Code: <div id="menu2">

Alright, here's the situtation: Imagine a bunch of random DIVs... let's say a hundred. These DIVs come in three different widths, but their heights are entirely variable. Now, let's give these DIVs margins of 5px each. I want all of the DIVs to show up, in their respective dimensions, in order as much as possible... but I want them all 10px apart from all sides... including top and bottom. How would I achieve this effect? I tried floats, but that doesn't quite work for EDIT* - vertical spacing in all cases. Basically, if a smaller DIV can fit in an empty space, I want it to go there, so everything--despite the randomness--is uniformly spaced. Is this possible using CSS? Maybe with Javascript? Hi guys! Ok here's the thing, I've tried everything I know and hunted the net trying to find an answer, and just when I think I have, another issue crops up. Sorry about the title but I just don't know what to call what it is I'm trying to do. But it SHOULD be possible, and it SHOULD be really simple, which is frustrating the heck out of me because I cannot get this to work! Here is what I'm trying to do, complete with pictures to help visualize things. Example This shows how I want my site layout to appear. A regular width site so it can be displayed on low res desktops, BUT with extra artwork on the left and right, complete with a couple of flash animations to the sides. Code: http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/2458/layoutstyle.jpg The red outline shows a typical 800x600 display, as you can see, they should only be able to see what's in the center of the page. The dark blue outline shows a much higher resolution display The light blue color shows the extra artwork only revealed to higher resolutions The flash boxes contain flash elements which should remain fixed in those locations regardless of the resolution the user is using (they'd be setup to match the background image, so must not move) The dark blue outline shows how the same site would look on a much higher resolution. Instead of black space to the left or right, or the actual site stretching to fit (not looking for a liquid layout in this case), they get to see the rest of the artwork, plus the flash elements. The purpose of this is so it will look fine on low resolution displays, but also, when viewed on higher resolution displays, will then show the extra artwork instead of blackness. Problems Just when it looks like it might work, I find that each browser displays things incorrectly, pixels, picas, ems, etc. and so on. How do I get it to work across the board? I don't want to be unprofessional and do the "This site should only be viewed in X browser". The flash enabled parts always wrap and refuse to appear off screen, how do I fix this? When I place them, I want them to stay exactly where they are (which is offscreen on a low resolution, but visible on a higher resolution), not bunch up and move out of place. I can get the actual background to appear correctly, so when resizing the browser, it remains fixed in the center and reveals the rest of the artwork both left and right. But other elements simply refuse to behave correctly (see first problem, this happens especially with browsers not rendering the same things the same, such as pixels etc. being done differently in each browser). If you want a real world example of what I'm trying to achieve, please view the following website: Code: http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/?rhtml=y unfortunately I have no idea what language they used and it looks unreadable to me, so borrowing from view source isn't an option for me in this case (I use Dreamweaver, css and php, and have no understanding of xml or whatever it is they're using, neither do I have the time to learn another language). Is there anyone who can help me here, cause this is REALLY frustrating me now, it should be incredibly simple but it's not, and I feel as if I'm being forced to abandon everyone who doesn't have X display and X browser. Which I don't want to do. P.S. Sorry about the weird links, seems new accounts can't use url's *shrugs*. 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! 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/ 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 {

Any help on why this is offset in IE7 would be great. Thanks in advance. 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. 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.

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 {

#navcontainer ul li a#current {

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? Hello. 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 have not finished styling the rest of the page, I am only concerned with the navigation right now. I appreciate your time and effort! Hello, I have built a new navigation system for this website I'm rehabbing. Please note that the new navigation is only currently installed on the Newsroom section. I used this method (as was suggested by several people in this forum). I'm new to this method so now I need some help. The menus appear to be working but I would like some help with styling these so they look awesome. Here is a list of things I'd like to do (help with any or all of these would be appreciated): 1. I'd like to add a small border around the drop-down menu without adding a border to the img buttons I have. These images fit perfectly in the Navigation div and if a border is added around each one, the Resource button goes to a second line... very undesirable. 2. Is there a way to widen the drop-down menus? As you can see, most of the categories in each menu don't fit on one line. 3. I also is there a way to add a hover background color to the links? Thank you for your insight! 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 hatchetradio.com/radio/ if you take a peek, you'll see the navigation is under the entire layout. I'm not quite sure why, any help? Hi all, I have a very simple question.. my mouseover is ALMOST working properly. However when you mouse over the box colour changes, but the text only changes when you are DIRECTLY over the text. How can I fix this? Check the communities drop down for an example of my problem. Here is my temp site URL: edit: I can't post links yet?!?! PM me for link Thanks! Hey guys I have a page I am working on and I am running into a little problem. I created a navigation bar using css and now I want to link up the navigation bar. The problem is when I link it it turns it to a blue hyperlink. I know I can change the css to get rid of that, but I also want part of the page to look like and be set up like a regular blue hyperlink. How can I get around this. Here is the page I am working on (URL address blocked: See forum rules) I want the positive and negative tests to be normal hyperlinks but I want the nav bar to stay in the css I set up thanks for the help Sean Hi devshed, First post here so I hope someone wouldn't mind giving me some help with a layout problem I'm having which I think is probably CSS related. The navbar div should be at the top of the maincontent div and to the right of the sidebar div with no gaps. I can get the desired results in FF but in IE there is a whitespace gap between the top of maincontent and navbar divs. Unfortunately I don't have it online yet to show you because I need to upgrade my hosting package first. If anyone can spare a few minutes and make any suggestions I would be very grateful. Many Thanks Jez HTML: Code:

/* Tips for sidebar1:
1. Since we are working in relative units, it's best not to use padding on the sidebar. It will be added to the overall width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
2. Since em units are used for the sidebar value, be aware that its width will vary with different default text sizes.
3. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the ".twoColHybLtHdr #sidebar1 p" rule.
*/

}
/* Tips for mainContent:
1. The space between the mainContent and sidebar1 is created with the left margin on the mainContent div. No matter how much content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain. You can remove this left margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1 ends.
2. Be aware it is possible to cause float drop (the dropping of the non-floated mainContent area below the sidebar) if an element wider than it can contain is placed within the mainContent div. WIth a hybrid layout (percentage-based overall width with em-based sidebar), it may not be possible to calculate the exact width available. If the user's text size is larger than average, you will have a wider sidebar div and thus, less room in the mainContent div. You should be aware of this limitation - especially if the client is adding content with Contribute.
3. In the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This may help avoid several IE-specific bugs.
