CSS - Pulldown Menu Trouble In Ie 6 Sp2
Hello.
My site works fine in Firefox 3 of course not sure about IE 7 but in IE 6 the menus bar links are not dropping down ie About Us, Services ect. What did I miss? Site Link Matt Similar TutorialsHey I'm having some trouble with the website I'm trying to make. I got a css style pulldown menu, but the pulldown part can't be seen because its on the top frame of a frameset. Is there a way to make the pulldown extend over the edge of the frame? Hey Guys, I'm switching over from a completely javascripted and clunky menu system to htmldog/alistapart's Son of Suckerfish CSS pulldown menu. (ref: http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/ ) Now, I'm having trouble with the new menu sitting behind other properties on my pages; namely other form-pulldowns. Can you suggest anything that might correct this - I've tried z-indexing the pulldowns but that doesn't seem to do the trick!? Check this out at : http://www.pps.org/gps/ - pass your cursor over Placemaking Tools. Note - this seems to be a problem I'm noticing with IE6; in Mozilla/Firefox everything works alright. Cheers, Qasim Virjee pps.org qasim.ca (personal) Hello, I currently have a site (left aligned) that has its own Javascript pulldown menu. Its is pretty standard with the sub-menu's being in their own layer and are shown on mouseover. My problem is that these sub-menus are currently set at an absolute left position (CSS) but, if centered, will appear in different places at different resolutions. Does anyone know if its possible to anchor a layer to a point from something on a different z-index? I did a search on the forums here and found a similar question but no responses. Thanks guys! Hi, I got the menu the working the way I want, except I can't get the last two on the menu to be bold becasue they are like Multimodal Corridor Planning, a category with articles under it. Here is the link: http://www.greatstreetsstlouis.net/...d=32&Itemid=204 I just need to get Site Planning to be bold, and then Choices & Guidelines. I have to use CSS as well, becasue the menu is done through Joomla and is dynamic. I need those last two titles to behave the same way when clicked on like Multimodal Corridor Planning does. Thank you. Here is the code: Code: .extmenu .modulebdr div div div #mainlevel { font:.8em/14px Verdana,sans-serif; } .extmenu .modulebdr div div div #mainlevel li a.mainlevel_active { background: url(../images/bullet_arrow_down.gif) left center no-repeat; padding-left:11px; color:#2E69BF; font-weight:bold; } .extmenu .modulebdr div div div #mainlevel li a.mainlevel_current { background: url(../images/bullet_arrow_down.gif) left center no-repeat; padding-left:11px; color:#000000; } .extmenu .modulebdr div div div #mainlevel li a.sublevel_active { background: url(../images/bullet_arrow_down.gif) left center no-repeat; padding-left:11px; color:#2E69BF; font-weight:bold; } .extmenu .modulebdr div div div #mainlevel li a.sublevel_current { background: url(../images/bullet_arrow_right.gif) left center no-repeat; padding-left:9px; color:#000000; } .extmenu .modulebdr div div div #mainlevel li a.sublevel { padding-left:9px; } .extmenu .modulebdr div div div #mainlevel .sublevel_active ul li a.sublevel{ color:#666666; margin-left:14px; } .extmenu .modulebdr div div div #mainlevel li .sublevel_active { padding:0; } .extmenu .modulebdr div div div #mainlevel li .sublevel_active .sublevel_active { margin-left:11px; } .extmenu .modulebdr div div div #mainlevel li .sublevel_active .sublevel_current { margin-left:10px; } .extmenu .modulebdr div div div ul { list-style-type: none; padding-left: 0; margin-left: 0; } .extmenu .modulebdr div div div #mainlevel li .sublevel_current { margin-left:8px; } .extmenu .modulebdr div div div #mainlevel li .sublevel { margin-left:7px; } Hi, I've been at this for some time now. Currently building a site (development address: mainline.divsharp.com). Menu (left) was Javascript, its now CSS. Works fine in Chrome, Firefox and IE 8, but IE 7 is acting extremely strange. You can see the desired effect if you use a recent version of one of those browsers. When I pull it up in IE 7 on the homepage, I can't hover over the popup like I can in the other, more compliant browsers. It either hides the pane as soon as the mouse gets off the main menu link, or when the mouse leaves the picture once its over the pane. If I then click on, say, "Market Watch" and try to view the menu on an interior page, its even more erratic. I'm about at the end of what I know or can look up how to do here.. If I can get the mouse over some part of the popout pane, it seems that if its over the content area of a div and not padding or margins, it stays open. For example, over the picture or over the grey area to the right... This might suggest something to someone.. Unfortunately, the markup is clogged at best and my style is all over the place. Site is built in Wordpress and is a custom theme. Hopefully this will help: Home page style sheet: mainline.divsharp.com/wp-content/themes/mainline/style.css Interior page style sheet: mainline.divsharp.com/wp-content/themes/mainline/interior.css In those stylesheets, there isn't much discernible organization, but the pieces relating to this problem are near the id's labeled menu_bg in the middle and at the very bottom is where the hover effects are. The popout is achieved like this: Code: <li id="popout_hov"> <div id="popout">code for menu pane</div> </li> #popout_hov #popout { visibility: none; } #popout_hov:hover #popout { visibility: visible; } Thanks. tomm[.]bnesfinest[.]net/underattackwebsite/test/menu.html tomm[.]bnesfinest[.]net/underattackwebsite/test/menu.css For some reason, it refuses to rollover... in the actual site I've tried implementing it, all of them come up in the secondary start (black text, blue bg) rather than the default state (white text, transparent bg). Neither times does it actually "rollover". What am I doing wrong? Code from: webvamp[.]co[.]uk/blog/coding/graphical-css-rollover-menu/#example I've been developing a content management system, and one of the final things I have to clean up is a stylesheet problem involving the float property. I'm trying to position two boxes next to each other id: menu and id: content, but until I set the width property on content it would drop beneath menu. I want the content box to fill any remaining space to the right of the menu, with appropriate padding and spacing and such. Can anyone help make suggestions as to the best way of achieving this? Here is some of my css code which is also viewable on the website which is located at: 8< snip >8 Code: #container { margin: 1em 4em 1em 4em; /* width: 750px; dynamic width */ text-align: left; background: #FFFFCC; border: 2px solid black; } #menu { float: left; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; width: 150px; display: inline; } #content { float: right; width: 20em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; /* margin-left: 170px; */ padding-top: 5px; padding-left: 20px; padding-bottom: 20px; border-left: 2px solid black; height: 100%; } Thanks for trying to help, I've been getting really frustrated trying to get css to work in both ie and firefox. BTW: I've been finding the Web Developer firefox extension very helpful for this kind of work. I've created my first attempt at a pure CSS drop-down menu using an AlistApart article as a guide. It works great in Firefox, but in IE the menu's are reloading the background image and the list bullet images each time you move to a new link in the drop down. The page is here Any ideas? Here is the CSS for the Menu (not cleaned up so pardon it's rag-tagness): Code: ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; } /* First Level */ li { float: left; position: relative; width: 10em; } li#first { border-left-width: 2px; } li#last { border-right-width: 2px; } /* Second Level -- Drop Downs */ li ul { display: none; position: absolute; top: 100%; left: 0; background: url(../images/backgroundvert.gif) bottom left no-repeat; padding: 3px 0 3px 8px; border-right: solid 1px #777777; } /* Reset for all non-IE Browswers*/ li > ul { top: auto; left: auto; } /* Show Second Level when First Level is Rolled Over */ li:hover ul, li.over ul{ display: block; } a { text-decoration: none; } a:link { color: #080; } a:visited { color: #790; } a:active { color: red; } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } #nav a { font-weight: bold; color: #149AF1; font-size:13px; } #nav a { text-decoration: none; } /* Drop Down Menu Links */ #nav li li a { display: block; font-weight: normal; color: #149AF1; padding: 0.2em 10px 0 15px; background-image:url(../images/bullet.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat; } #nav li li a:hover { padding: 0.2em 10px 0 15px; background-image:url(../images/bullet2.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat; text-decoration: underline; } #navs { border:1px 0 0 0; border-right: 0; width: 100%; padding-left:4px; height:20px; padding-top:3px; } .nonlink { font-weight: bold; color: #149AF1; font-size:13px; cursor:default; } Hi, I'm breaking my head over IE6.0: adjusted this page and it now works at least in IE 5.0, 5.5, Opera, Firefox but in IE6.0 the damn thing doesn't align vertical in a right way and the menu doesn't scroll with the page anymore. Anybody who can tell me what's upsetting IE6.0? I don't have a clue no more. Cheers, Ziggy Hello! I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking, but I've trialed-and-errored it enough and it's time to seek help! I'm trying to adjust the location of the "main menu" on this page he http://www.jeditemplearchives.com/hasbrodb/welcome.php Currently, it is set in reference to the side of the browser in this CSS code: Code: .menuContainer { position: absolute; top:113px; right:210px; margin: 10px; margin-top: 50px; } I've tried making the position relative but it really whacks out the page when I do that. I want to make it relative to the border of the content so that no matter what size resolution or if the browser is minimized it stays fixed and doesn't float left. I was able to do this to the links directly above it, but the same thing doesn't seem to work for this. Here's the code for the 'advanced' and 'login' links: Code: #header ul.headerLinks { list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 10px; position: absolute; right: 0px; top: 95px; white-space: nowrap; } Thanks for any suggestions anyone comes up with! Hello. After days of searching, I have found my ideal menu system. I am trying to mimic it with some minor changes, due to the layout I already have for my website. I think the biggest problem is the fact that my second level drop down menu needs to be contained inside my first level menu boxes. These boxes also expand based on screen width. Here is the barebones version of Stu Nicholl's 'Simple Drop Down Menu': Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Welcome!</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> <style type="text/css"> /* remove the bullets, padding and margins from the lists */ .menu ul{ list-style-type:none;

Thanks for any help you can give me! I am having problems with my xhtml (css here). As you can see, the frog is pushing the menu (vert1 in the css) down. I am also told that the news (vert2) is being pushed down in IE6...can anyone help? Was referred to Suckerfish and find it very useful but I cannot figure out how to center the menu line on the screen (inside a table or not). Oddly, it automatically centers in IE but not Chrome or Firefox. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!! I can post an example of what I mean but don't want to violate the new users guidelines.

The 1px border around each image is there to show the edge of each image. thank you for your time Hey guys, Here's my problem: http://www.3rdcoastpc.com/moonstoys/ Basically I want the menu in the rounded rectangle area, not underneath (outside) of it. You can see what's happening in the URL. If I use a span tag instead of a div in the head_content class, the background (the right corner of the rounded rectangle) doesn't show. I'm not sure what's going on here because in my HTML I'm putting the <ul> tags right after the logo image, so I would think that it would sit next to the logo and not underneath it. I'm just confused as this is my first attempt at doing a tableless design. Here's my css: http://www.3rdcoastpc.com/moonstoys/main.css and the HTML: http://www.3rdcoastpc.com/moonstoys/index.html Thanks in advance! Dustin I've been trying to make a "pop-up" window with CSS which works great for the most part, except in IE when there is a form pull-down menu behind it. For some reason in IE it just sticks right through the top z-indexed layer: 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.

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.)

If you roll over the main menu you will see the sub menu slide down on the left. For the life of me I can't get it to line up under the main nav. I've tried many, many things. Can anyone provide a few hints, tips, suggestions?

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! |
