CSS - Elusive Dropdown Menu Problem In Ie7 (only)
Hi all-
My first post here, and I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I'm beginning to build a client site, and I've got an elusive problem with my multiple-tier CSS dropdown menu not vertically spacing its <li> elements correctly in IE7. The problem doesn't seem to happen in IE6, or Mozilla browsers. This menu began its life as a Project Seven "PopMenu Magic" menu, but I've modified it quite a bit with hand-coding. Other that this small problem in IE7, I'm happy with its look and it's functioning as intended. What's further complicating my troubleshooting is that the problem only happens on second-level pages of my site, but not on the homepage. All of the pages use the same "included" CSS and navigation code (I'm building the site in ExpressionEngine and am embedding the navigation in a manner similar to a PHP include). All CSS and xHTML validates, and I'm at wit's end. Links NOTE: The blocked "URL" in all of these following links is to be replaced with "falmouth academy dot org" . I guess because I'm new the forum thinks i'm a spammer. The vertical dropdown menu listings SHOULD be spaced as seen here URL /index.php The spacing problem reveals itself he URL /index.php/about/introduction The code that should be controlling the vertical spacing is found in this css file: URL /index.php?css=home/stylesheet.v.1212113978 And the specific code segment in that file is: #p7PMnav li ul li a { /* second tier navigation */ color : #ffffff; height : 14px; padding : 4px; } I'm not sure, but it appears that in IE7, only the first item in the list is getting the height and padding attributes applied. The color, however, is applied to all elements as it should. Very puzzling. Hopefully this explanation is clear, but the problem is still as clear as mud. Any help is appreciated - I'm not a CSS guru, and I'm hoping there's something I'm overlooking. Similar TutorialsProblem solved. Hiyas, I am a bit of a CSS noob, and I am having some problems so I thought I would post here and see if anyone could help me. I was given some code by a friend the other day to make a drop-down menu that comes down from a jpg-based button. Everything seemed to work, until I tried to make more than 1 menu. Here is my friend's website that uses the code - she can have 3 menus without anything glitching: www.hollyhostile.com The menu is controlled by a javascript file, I have been told this is CSS based but it may indeed be java, so sorry if this is in the wrong place. Her js menu file looks kind of like this: Code: //Contents for menu 1 var menu1=new Array() menu1[0]='<a href="http://www.hollyhostile.com/about.html">About Me</a>' menu1[1]='<a href="http://www.hollyhostile.com/faq.html">FAQ</a>' menu1[2]='<a href="http://www.hollyhostile.com/references.html">References</a>' menu1[3]='<a href="http://www.hollyhostile.com/pricing.html">Pricing</a>' //Contents for menu 2, var menu2=new Array() menu2[0]='<a href="http://www.hollyhostile.com/forum">Forum</a>' menu2[1]='<a href="http://www.hollyhostile.com/guestbook/">Guestbook</a>' menu2[2]='<a href="http://www.hollyhostile.com/blog/">Blog</a>' menu2[3]='<a href="http://www.youtube.com/hollyhostile">Tutorials</a>' Then she has this in her index.html file: Code: <a href="http://hollyhostile.com/default.htm" onClick="return clickreturnvalue()" onMouseOver="dropdownmenu(this, event, menu1, '100px')" onMouseOut="delayhidemenu()"> <img src="holly_files/purple_05.jpg" alt="" width="65" height="23"></a></td> <td> <a href="http://www.hollyhostile.com/portfolio.html"><img src="holly_files/purple_06.jpg" alt="" width="65" height="23"></a></td> <td> <a href="http://hollyhostile.com/default.htm" onClick="return clickreturnvalue()" onMouseOver="dropdownmenu(this, event, menu2, '100px')" onMouseOut="delayhidemenu()"> <img src="holly_files/purple_07.jpg" alt="" width="88" height="23"></a></td> However, when I try to use this on my own design, it will only show menu1, and this displays over random buttons, not in a succession. It's very very strange. Here is an example of the kind of thing I want to do: www.gothique-noir.com/asylum Each button apart from "Home" should drop down into a menu, but for some reason it won't let me do different menus. If anyone can help me that would be hugely appreciated I have dropdown menus completly made of UL lists within UL lists. And i control them with css to show and hide them using :hover. Example: div#navDiv li:hover ul {display:block; z-index:11;} well this works completly fine in Mozilla. But i recently encountered a problem in mozilla. Below the dropdown menu's when I put a <div> and when i add the value overflow:auto; it breaks the menu. The menu still works, but when im hovering over the dropdown UL that goes over this <div> with the scrollbar it will disappear right when i get over the <div> below it. But the UL dropdown menu will not disappear if i just remove that one css property "overflow:auto" is there any way to fix this in mozilla? It works fine in IE. Hello, I am working on a website and this website got a dropdown menu and this menu works fine! But when I want to make a submenu in the dropdown, it will not work correctly. The submenu is not placed in a new row, it is placed in the main dropdown menu. The next picture shows the problem: "Test" has to be a submenu from "Wie zijn we?", but it is placed just under it. URL I have used the next HTML-Code: Code: <!-- Navigation item -->
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Almelo Sociaal<!--[if IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
<ul>
<li><a href="aswiezijnwe.html"target="iframe">Wie zijn we?</a>
<ul><li><a href="aswiezijnwe.html"target="iframe">test?</a></li></ul></li>
<li><a href="aswatdoenwe.html"target="iframe">Wat doen we?</a></li>

<li><a href="asactiviteiten.html"target="iframe">Activiteiten</a></li>
<li><a href="asafspraken.html"target="iframe">Afsprakenlijst</a></li>
</ul>
And I have used the next CSS-Code: Code: /*Drop-down menu*/
.nav2 {white-space:nowrap /*IE hack*/; float:left; width:954px; background:rgb(228,22,34); color:rgb(100,100,100); font-size:130%;} /*Color navigation bar normal mode*/

.nav2 ul li a {float:none; !important /*Non-IE6*/; float:left /*IE-6*/; display:block; height:2.1em; line-height:2.1em; padding:0 16px 0 16px; text-decoration:none; font-weight:normal; color: rgb(235,235,235);}
.nav2 ul li ul {display:none; border:none;}
/*Non-IE6 hovering*/
.nav2 ul li:hover {position:relative;} /*Sylvain IE hack*/
.nav2 ul li:hover a {background-color:rgb(228,22,34); text-decoration:none;} /*Color main cells hovering mode*/
.nav2 ul li:hover ul {display:block; width:10.0em; position:absolute; z-index:999; top:2.0em; margin-top:0.1em; left:0;}

Can someone help me to fix the submenu in the dropdown menu? I think myself it is a problem in the CSS. Maybe something has to be added there, but I don't know what I'm trying to create a css only drop-down menu like the ones in html. Here is my code for trying to do so. /* setting dealing with selecting particular guest book entries */ Code: #menuSelectGuestEntries
{
position: relative;
margin-top: 10px;
padding-left: 466px;
}
#menuSelectGuestEntries form
{
color: #000;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 2.12em;
}
#menuSelectGuestEntries .guestBookPages{
visibility:hidden;
}
#menuSelectGuestEntries .guestBookPages:hover{
visibility:visible;
}
#selectGuestBookEntries {
border: solid 1px grey;
background-color: white;
padding-right; 5px;
width: 70px;
font-size: 13px;
height: 16px;
overflow: auto;
}
#menuSelectGuestEntries ul.guestBookPages {
position: absolute;
color: black;
background-color: white;
font-size: 20px;
top: 1px;
left: 517px;
list-style-type: none;
padding-left:0;
padding-right: 0;
margin-left: 0;
width: 66px;
border: solid 1px grey;
border-top: none;
}
ul.guestBookPages a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
width: 70px;
zoom: 1;
}
ul.guestBookPages a:hover {
background-color: #104E8B;
font-weight: bold;
width: 66px;
}
html code
<div id="menuSelectGuestEntries">
<form action="">
Page: <a href=""><</a>
<span name="selectGuestBookEntries" id="selectGuestBookEntries">
1 of 212 <img src="images/dropDownBox.jpg" width="12" height="13"/></span>
<a href="">></a>
<ul class="guestBookPages">
<li><a href="">1 of 212</a></li>
<li><a href="">2 of 212</a></li>
<li><a href="">3 of 212</a></li>
<li><a href="">4 of 212</a></li>
<li><a href="">5 of 212</a></li>
</ul>
</form>
</div>
What I've tried to do is make the form with id Code: #menuSelectGuestEntries relative positioned is it looks like the first option of a drop-down menu. Then what I was hoping for was to have the drop-down list named Code: #menuSelectGuestEntries absolutely positioned so when someone hovered over the span with id Code: selectGuestBookEntries which contains the first entry all the entries in list Code: guestBookPages would become visible. I'm trying to avoid the Javascript methods of doing this if possible, not a big fan. Any ideas of code I could use in the above scenario to make the listing in the id Code: guestBookPages visible using the hover tag somewhere? Any help greatly appreciated. The visibility option is not working at moment, probably incorrect. Hello 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 Hi there, While this menu works in IE and FF, there's still a little problem with it working perfectly in FF. Basically, it's when you want to mouse over and get the second dropdown option...it only shows part of the button. I'm almost positive this has to do with it not "escaping" the container I have set for the whole design, as the menu option stops right at the border/width of the parent container. For instance, if you go here (with FireFox), and then select from the right side menu: Homes for Sale > Fort Collins, CO > Homestead You'll notice that it only says "Homest" when you want to view the second dropdown option. I need it to show the whole name. I tried setting the z-index higher for these particular classes, but no dice. Is there something I'm missing? Here's the code: Code:

Thanks in advance. Hi I am using suckerfish drop down menu without problem on my local server, however, on the remote server them menu won't work when jscript is turned off (when viewed on IE). Do you have any idea why this might be? has anyone had this problem before? (here is the url: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)) thanks a lot 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..??? I have been hunting around for an all CSS drop down menu that when you hover on the heading the menu expands down to show the heading 1 menu and if you hovered over the next menu item this expands to show that menu list instead a bit like the 'be the first to apply' on the right of this page, http://www.fish4.co.uk/iad/jobs search for say 'admin' just to get to the results page as this is where the menu is. the look is not important but the function is BUT.... i wanted to have many links in the drop down not just the one as in this example. this is the extracted code i have got so far that does what you see on this page. Code:
<style>
#rightcolumn {

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 Link: http://cemtec.quicksites.co.za CSS: http://cemtec.quicksites.co.za/wp-c...grass/style.css Hi This dropdown menu on Products works in Firefox but when I goto IE7 I dont see anything at all. I have tried changing the div Class to a Div Id also without any change. Anybody have any clues to what I have todo? L. i'm having a problem with a couple attributes for my CSS dropdowns. view the page here (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. Help!!

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 {
width:78px;
height:41px;
float:left;
text-align:center;
background:#B8A488 url(images/mainmenu_roll.gif) no-repeat;
}
#mainmenu li.navigation a{

Thanks! 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... Hi all -- I've used plenty of CSS in the past, but I'm currently working on a dropdown menu that is more challenging than I had anticipated. A few things I need to fix that I just cannot figure out: 1) The last <li> in the dropdown seems to be overlapping my border 2) I want to put at least 10px of padding on the left hand side of the dropdown menu 3) I need to turn the carrot in front of each menu item to #ff9900 4) Whenever I try to increase or decrease the space between menu items, it seems as though white lines appear between my menu items. In the interest of full disclosure, I found this CSS out somewhere on the web, and I've been trying to customize it since I didn't feel I had the knowledge to build it from scratch. Normally, I'd prefer to create something on my own, but limited time and knowledge prevented me from doing so this time around. Attached below are my HTML and CSS code. I tried to post a link, but the forum will not allow me. If you can offer any assistance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your time!
