CSS - Javascript Dropdown Menu Styling (mainly Ie Problems)
it's best to get a visual of this one: www.viportals.com
i'm talking about the buttons under the top banner. if you hover "Games", a drop down list appears. there is a 1pixel line between the "Games" button and its dropdown list (when you hover the "Games" button) which i want to get rid of, but can't. in IE, there are many horrible problems, probably due to the display:inline-block of the li a. the buttons are too tall and hang down below the bottom line of the horizontal bar, and the dropdown menu appears beside the "Games" button. i tried css Code: Original - css Code #sddm ul li a { padding-top: 0; padding-bottom: 0; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0; }
#sddm ul li a {
in my separate ie css file, but its the same here is all the code if you need it to gain a better understanding (css, html, and js). css Code: Original - css Code /* DROP-DOWN NAVIGATION MENU */ #sddm { margin: 0; padding: 0; z-index: 30; } #sddm li { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; float: left; } #sddm li a { display: inline-block; text-decoration: none; color:#495B20; background-color:#BAD36B; border-left: 2px solid #fff; border-top: 2px solid #fff; border-right: 2px solid #000; border-bottom: 2px solid #000; } #sddm li a:hover { background-color:#495B20; color:#BAD36B; border-left: 2px solid #000; border-top: 2px solid #000; border-right: 2px solid #fff; border-bottom: 2px solid #fff; text-decoration:none; } #sddm li:hover div { position: absolute; visibility: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #BAD36B; border-left: 2px solid #fff; border-top: 2px solid #fff; border-right: 2px solid #000; border-bottom: 2px solid #000; } #sddm li div { position: absolute; visibility: hidden; margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #BAD36B; border-left: 2px solid #fff; border-top: 2px solid #fff; border-right: 2px solid #000; border-bottom: 2px solid #000; } #sddm li div:hover { background-color:#495B20; color:#BAD36B; border-left: 2px solid #000; border-top: 2px solid #000; border-right: 2px solid #fff; border-bottom: 2px solid #fff; } #sddm li div:hover a{ background: #495B20; color: #BAD36B; } #sddm li div a { position: relative; display: block; margin: 0; padding: 5px 10px; width: auto; white-space: nowrap; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border:none; font: 11px arial; } #sddm li div a:hover { text-shadow:#000; text-decoration:underline; border:none; } /* DROP-DOWN NAVIGATION MENU */ html Code: Original - html Code <div id='navbar'> <ul id="sddm"> <?php echo " <li> <a href='".get_home_link()."'> Home</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_category_link("name=all&page=1")."'"; ?> onmouseover='mopen("m1")' <?php echo " onmouseout='mclosetime()'> Games</a> <div id='m1' onmouseover='mcancelclosetime()' onmouseout='mclosetime()'> "; $categories = get_categories("htmlize=true&order=order&sort=ASC"); foreach ($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>"; } echo " </div> </li> <li> <a href='".get_users_link()."'> Members</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_news_link()."'> News</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_submit_link()."'> Submit</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_links_link()."'> Links</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_rules_link()."'> Rules</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_faq_link()."'> FAQ</a> </li> <li> <a href='".get_contact_link()."'> Contact</a> </li>"; ?> </ul> <div style="clear:both"></div> </div>

Similar TutorialsHello everyone! I would like to integrate a very simple purely css-based dropdown menu into my website. My knowledge of css is very basic, so I adapted a free sample menu, boiled it down (mostly through trial and error) to my very specific idea of what it should look like and finally ran into a problem which I could not solve myself so far. The following code represents "my" current code, with placeholder colors, text, links etc.: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Menu</title>
<style type="text/css">
/* background */
body {
background-color: #252525;}
/* targeted dropdown button style */
.dd-select {font: 10.5px Verdana; text-transform: uppercase;}
.dd-select a:link {color: #ff0000; text-decoration: none;}
.dd-select a:hover {color: #ffea00;}
/* positioning */
ul.Menu ul{display:none}
ul.Menu li:hover>ul{display:block}
ul.Menu ul{position: absolute; left:-1px; top:98%;}
ul.Menu li:hover{position:relative;}
/* shrink to fit */
ul.Menu {
float: left;}
/* dropdown button */
ul.Menu {
margin:0px;
list-style:none;
padding:0px;}
/* menu case */
ul.Menu ul {
margin:0px;
list-style:none;
padding:0px;
background-color:#5c5c5c;
border-color:#a3a3a3;
border-width:1px;
border-style:solid;}
/* menu element padding */
ul.Menu li{
margin:5px 5px 5px 5px;}
/* menu element */
ul.Menu a {
display:block;
background-color:#454545;
text-align:left;
padding:4px 9px 5px 9px;
font:normal 11.5px Verdana;
color: #f7f7f7;
text-decoration:none;}
/* menu hover */
ul.Menu li:hover>a{
background-color:#333333;
color: #00ff60;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul class="Menu">
<li><a href="#" target="_top">Select</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#" target="_top">Option 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#" target="_top">Option 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#" target="_top">Option 3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p class="dd-select"><a href="#">Select (as it should look)</a></p>
</body>
</html>
Now my problem is, I would like the dropdown menu's trigger button (labeled "Select") to look like the text link beneath (styled through .dd-select) instead of having it look like the the rest of the actual dropdown menu. So, different font size, decoration, colours, hover effect and, most importantly, no background color. The dropdown menu should of course keep its original look. Could anyone please give me a hint on how to accomplish this (perhaps with a code example or two) in an elegant way or maybe even refine my code to make it work? That would help me out a lot and I would like to thank everyone for reading and trying to help! Kind regards, Jakob Hello. I'm trying to create a CSS/SPRY dropdown menu. It seems to work fine in Firefox but in IE 6 the dropdown goes horizontal until I mouse over then it goes verticle. Also how do I add black 1px border around each list item in the dropdown menu? I have tried but it tends to give the first Menu Item the border as well which doesnt work so well with the layout.

I've gotten it to work pretty much exactly as I want to in FF and Opera, but of course it's displaying very wrong in IE. I thought I had found the code needed to fix IE, but I've either used it incorrectly, or it's just not the right bit of code. Here's a page with the navbar live: http://www.skullcrow.com/community_upload.php Here's the css being used: Code: /* horizontal drop down navbar - basic formatting */
#centering_wrap {width:100%; position:relative;}
#menu {margin:0 auto;width: 955px;font: bold 11px/16px arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color:#666;} /* Main width and default font properties */
#menu ul {list-style: none;margin: 0;padding: 0;float: left; line-height:42px;} /* Main format for top categories */
#menu ul ul{ position:relative; top:35px; left:5%; width: 90%;} /* child element widths */
#menu ul li{ background-position:bottom left;} /* set nav bg position */
#menu ul li:hover{ background-position:top left;} /* set nav bg position hover position */
/* Positioning popouts (2nd level only) */
#menu li {position: relative;} /* make "ABSOLUTE" work correctly */
#menu ul ul {position: absolute; z-index: 500;} /* prevent menu from "pushing" contents down */
#menu ul ul ul {position: absolute; top: 0; left: 100%;} /* move child elements to the side */
/* Hover behavior */
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;}
/* Additional text formatting */
#menu a {display: block;width: 100%;height: 100%;}
#menu ul ul li {

background: #2B3344;
}
#menu ul ul a {color: #CCC;text-decoration: none;}
#menu ul ul a:hover {color: #FFF;background:#06F;}

...and finally, here's the small snippet of code I used up in the header of the main php file that I thought was suppose to fix the display issue but didn't: Code: <!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
body {
behavior: url(css/csshover3.htc);
font-size: 100%;
}
#menu ul li {float: left; width: 100%;}
#menu ul li a {height: 1%;}
#menu a, #menu h2 {
font: bold 0.7em/1.4em arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
That last bit is contained at the very of the header, and is the very last item before the </head> tag. In addition to the other 'adjustments', it's also suppose to be including the csshover3.htc file that I thought was suppose to fix a lot of display problems. The site I got that file from is he http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html Whatever help is always very appreciated. I'm still sort of a css newb, although I think I'm starting to understand more, but IE is a bastard and I think most web developers would probably agree. Thanks again. i am trying to use the suckerfish dropdown menu. starting from the pretty example, i got it going in IE6 but it looked pretty off in mozilla. i tinkered around further the the IE code which changed things a bit there and made things look a bit better in mozilla but not much! my code is at http://www.fizzycherry.com/menutest.html - i would *really* appeciate any ideas. the main things really bugging me a how can i get the menu bar to fill the width of the screen in mozilla? my navbar div did this before i inserted the sub menus! once i tinkered with my css, placing padding on the links rather than the li elements, huge vertical gaps started appearing in the submenus in both IE and Mozilla, even with no margins padding and borders. i need to *add* a bottom border (same colour as background) to remove these gaps! why?? ideally i would like the submenus to look somethign like they do in ie6 but even if someone could just tell me how to make the bar fill the screen i'd be chuffed! Can anyone give me a hint on why the css/javascript controlled dropdowns don't appear right on this page in Safari: http://spa.american.edu As you can see in the view source the script is very basic and not embedded in an external file. Safari cuts off a portion of the final link. Thanks, Jeremy Currently, I'm working on an XHTML home page. After PHP, this is the result: index.php Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

If you enter all of these into their respectful files, except index.php into index.xhtml, there's a little white above the top of the page. I want to get rid of this margin. Can anyone help? Also, this is mainly a problem in Firefox, since IE doesn't have XHTML support. I've been hit with a problem that I think isn't possible, but I'm hoping that someone else here might be able to offer some sort of solution. It's a bit complicated to explain, so I'll try and give as much detail as I can. I have a menu system set up on a site, and it's styled correctly for the way that one section works. It's a standard unordered list. FIRST MENU: Code: <ul>

<ul>
<li><a href="page1.1.html">Link 1.1</a></li>

SECOND MENU: Code: <ul>
<li>
<a href="page1.html">Link 1</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="page2.html">Link 2</a>
</li>
</ul>
My problem is that I also need to style another menu match this - but the second menu has to have it's first-level links look like the second-level links in the first menu. This wouldn't be a problem normally as I'd be able to use different selectors, ID's or something else, but with this system, the menu is output from a closed function that I can't change. There's no ID's on the lists, and the classes are all the same. I can't change this, and I can't change the system to add anything else around each list to give it a better identifier. This means that both menus use the same CSS. The only way that I can see that I can do this is to set up a CSS rule that styles the list item either only of it contains another<ul> item, or if it doesn't contain another <ul> item. As far as I know that's not possible to do. Does anyone out there have an idea of where I can start with this? I have a css list menu which uses background images in place of bullets. What I'd like is for the user to visit the 'about' page and have the 'about' links background image be different from the rest. So the user can see from looking at the menu, what page they are on. Anyone able to suggest any methods of doing this? Would be appreciated =D Hi there, I'm playing around with a menu that is based on the 'suckerfish' method and basically, I am trying to change the background colour of one of the menu options. The problem is, I can't seem to do this in isolation - i.e. without messing up the other items in the menu. I've tried applying a background image to the <li> item, with no joy and I've also tried creating a separate div layer for this one option - again with no joy. **EDIT** Just worked out how to do this.... All I did was add [CODE]id="selected" Hi There - Just finished the tutorial from List Apart. I've got the tabs working well, but I can't get the text colour to style in browsers (works fine in dreamweaver). I've been at this for so long that I'm sure I'm not seeing something that's obvious to fresh eyes. Could someone please look at my code and tell me where I'm being a bone-head? I've put the rules all over the place and can't seem to get the text-colour to go right. Thanks for your help. Here's the html: Code: <div id="tabnav">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">News</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Products</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Here's the CSS: Code: #tabnav {
float:left;
width:100%;
background:#FFFFFF url("tab_background.png")
repeat-x bottom;
line-height:normal;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 13pt;
}
#tabnav ul {
margin:0;
padding:10px 10px 0;
list-style:none;
}
#tabnav li {
float:left;
background:url("tab_inactive_right.png")
no-repeat right top;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#tabnav a {
display:block;
background:url("tab_inactive_left.png")
no-repeat left top;
padding:8px 15px 4px;
}
#tabnav a:link{
color:293356;
text-decoration: none;
}
#tabnav a:hover{
color:596eba;
text-decoration: none;
}
/* Commented Backslash Hack
hides rule from IE5-Mac \*/
#tabnav a {float:none;}
/* End IE5-Mac hack */
#tabnav #current {
background-image:url("tab_active_right.png");
}
#tabnav #current a {
background-image:url("tab_active_left.png");
padding-bottom:5px;
}
I'm using the suggestions of those on here and using the http://www.dynamicsitesolutions.com...2/#relatedLinks menu (I'm a little confused over what the differences are but that's the least of my problems) What I want is a 2nd level drop down menu, but I'm clueless on how to go about it..??? Hi. I'm trying to create a dropdown menu using some code from son-of-Suckerfish.

Basically I have a single-graphic hover menu which works fine, but then the drop-down menus (in their separate colours) are just not coming in underneath in IE7 - ok in Firefox on pc and mac, plus fine is Safari on mac - but they should be normal wording links as 11px text with 17px line-height. I am getting the single-graphic coming in instead. I know this must have something to do with the nested ul in the li, but just can't stop this happening. So, it's really a 2 stage HELP. PLEASE!!!! Oh, I know I can't put a url link in. It's basically in a devsite folder of the main site I'm talking about here! I am a photographer for a website and I know very little about anything other than basic html. With the website lady gone on a trip around the world for a year, I ended up being the person to attempt to modify our side menu to show an additional column of subcategories. I tinkered around with the code we had and I managed to get this to work in Firefox, however in IE7 the contents of the menu shift down a few pixels when you hover over a category. To view my problem, go to scannerparts.biz I've messed around with this for a few days and everything has become a big confusing mess so I have no choice but give in and ask for help. I thank anyone in advance for any assistance you can offer. -Emerson Here is the code: hover.css Code:

http://www.describe.org/homework/esdcar http://www.describe.org/homework/esdcar/esdcar.css Three things: One is that in FF, etc, the dropdown for the single level labels (about, events) as opposed to the doubledecker ones (buyers) start too high -- not at the bottom of the box. I've tried playing with padding, height, margins...I must not have hit on the right combo yet, but I can't get it right. The second, though minor, is why there's a tiny crack that appears between one set of boxes (which set changes). I tried bumping up the width on one box by a tenth but that just caused the whole menubar to wrap down to a second line. The third is that the javascript doesn't work on IE. I copied it straight from the suckerfish/html dog tutorial and substituted the appropriate div name, but it's not working. (I haven't tried fixing anything else in IE yet, so it all looks bad...but the js should work.) late edit: I forgot to say that if I could, I'd like the single-level labels to be centered vertically, too, instead of up at the top... Hey all, having a bit of trouble getting my drop down menu to display properly. It's modeled after the suckerfish menu, only modded a bit. Here's the site...hover over 'machines' to see what i'm talking about (have to use FF, i haven't added the JS for IE yet). The drop down is adopting the rollovers from the mainmenu, and I don't know what to change to make 'em different. Here's the CSS for the menu: Code:
#mainmenu {
width:780px;
height:41px;
margin:auto;
position:relative;
}
#mainmenu li.navigation {

Thanks! First I am using Dreamweaver MX2004. I am still new to CSS, have not used it much. Still using tables (yeah i know) for the layout. Mainly because when I've tried positioning in the past, IE doesn't display it right. Layers don't seem to work for me! What I'd like to know is: can I use CSS (the son of suckerfish dropdowns) for my drop down menu in a separate HTML file that would be saved as a library item? I'd like the nav separate so I can update it easily. Should I also use a separate CSS file that would only be associated with the nav? Is necessary to have an external css sheet, if it only applys to this nav? The nav would get dropped into a table row under the top banner. My issue is: will it get positioned right ? And will it view ok in IE??? Hope I explained this right. I fear that what I have already coded, would get messed up if I do this! But due to search engine optimization, I'd like to avoid a fully functioning javascript dropdown. If you have a better suggestion/usage for a dropdown horizontal nav, I'd appreciate your ideas! Thanks for the advice! Valerie Help!! I am trying to design this website: nitrocanine .com/D/DDesign and the dropdown menus won't work in IE, while they work in Chrome, Safari, Firefox... does anyone know how to make them work in IE as well?? You can view the source and see the css coding and the relevant HTML. 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">
body {
behavior: url(behavior.htc); /* call hover behaviour file */
font-size: 100%; /* enable IE to resize em fonts */
}
}
#menu ul li a {
height: 1%; /* make links honour display: block; properly */
}
</style>

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... |
