CSS - Set Css Menu List To Be Width Of Text
Hi,
I am creating a site with drop down menus, done purely in CSS. If I don't set the 'width' parameter for 'ul' element then in IE7, Firefox and Opera the menu appears fine. In IE6 however the menu just stacks vertically unless I set the width parameter. The reason I don't want to set width is because I would like the top level menu items to just be the length of the text as in IE7 etc. One item is particularly longer than the others and so wastes space. The code for this element: Code:
#menu ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
/*change for IE6*/
/*width: 7em;*/
/*stops going onto two lines but then just becomes hidden*/
/*white-space: nowrap;*/
/*
width: auto;
min-width: 40px;
*/
float: left;
}
Is there any way to set the width to be that of the text contained? IE7, Firefox and Opera seem to do this automatically. After extensive searching I have tried auto width, floating in different ways, setting min-width as well as setting no-wrap but no joy. Is there a way to do this, or will I need to configure a set width to make it backwards compatible? Thanks. Similar TutorialsWhat I'm trying to do is create a menu for an AJAX function in which my content will slide. I don't know need help with the AJAX portion. Where I'm having my trouble is that I want to display four items at a time and then hide the other content to the right of this. When someone would click the button it would slide to left and display the next four elements. I have my four elements and have set a width for them. I am floating these elements left to get them to line up next to each other and I'm using overflow:hidden to hide the content you don't set. What I'm doing wrong is with the width portion. Code: #rightnav {
margin-top:14px;
background-image:url(../images/loader.gif);
background-position:center center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:282px;
overflow:hidden;
}
#rightnav hr {
color:white;
background-color:white;
height:1px;
border:none;
width: 250px;
margin: 7px auto ;
}
#rightnav, #wslist, #rslist, #wtlist {
height:306px;
float:left;
}
#wslist {
background-color:#336699;
}
.list {
width:282px;
float:left;
}

What I've noticed if I don't put the width property in the div floats to the left as desired. But when I put the width property in and use overflow it just knocks it down below it. Any suggestions? i ve been playing with my page and been trying to modify the width of the page (divs) according to the browswer's width. The problem is i want the navigation menu on left to be fixed width (say 200px) and the center div and the right column to be variable width. Also, i want to set a minimum width , so that the floating divs dont roll below the navigation menu. here s the link to the page. try reducing ur browser windows size . the content div rolls down under theleft nav menu. http://ccc.1asphost.com/pacemakerpr...r/cicuitlab.htm Also , i get wierd result in netscape navigator. please help I've been struggling with this a bit. I would rather not use a container div for my lists, but it seems that it's not possible to assign the lists themselves a width. When I assign a width to the <ol> element, I lose the numbers under the margin on the left, which I can sort-of understand. If I assign a width to the <li> elements, it works fine in Firefox, but IE drops the number on the first <li> and changes the numbers on each following <li> to "1". Hey everyone, After doing some reprogramming of the site I was making I'm having troubles with lists. I can't set the width of the li or a so that the size takes shape. I can't figure out why, or how to do it. I know I've done it before but the code i used there just doesn't seem to want to work. The LI and A tags take the size of the text within. I've checked the resources I could find in the sticky and that kravitz gave me and they seem to be able to set width but it's just not working. here is my css Code:
#menu{
width:750px;
border:thin solid #000000;
}
#menu ul{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:750px;
display:inline;
}
#menu li{
width:150px;
display:inline;
border:thin solid #000000;
list-style-type:none;
background-color:#550210;
}
#menu a{
width:150px;
}
If I take out the display:inline the width takes shape but when I put it back in it resizes to the size of the text within. Is there any way to have horizontal list items automatically fill any given width? for example, If I have 5 list items, I can set each width to 20% and the list will fill the width of the container, but if I don't set a width, then they collapse to the left. the behavior I'm after is like a table. The 'old' way to create a horizontal list would be to create a table with one row and 5 cols. Setting the width of the table to 100% would make each cell 20% automatically. Any way to accomplish this in css without explicitly setting the width? Good Morning All, Been having a slight problem with the visual in the screenshot below. The blue line is our H2, and the purple one is our H3, however, as you can see, the underline spans the entire width of the column, not just underneith the text, which is our requirement. ***As i am not allowed to upload a url as a new user, the underline is as follows. With the text centre aligned. text ----------------------------------------------------------- rather than text ------ and obviously by the css, the underline on the headers is a small image, repeated - x. Please see relevant css information. * (line 23) { margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; } h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 (line 101) { font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: normal; padding-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 0.6em; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: center; } .contentArea h2, #secondaryNavigation h2 (line 114) { background-color: transparent; background-image: url("../images/h2_gradient_bg.gif"); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: left bottom; color: #0066cc; } Many Thanks in advance. Marc. Problem solved. Howdy, k, the issue i'm having seems to be that IE is ignoring the width I have set for the right menu. It looks fine in everything else. here's the page here's the stylesheet any help'd be greatly appreciated! Hi Is there a way to create a 100% width (liquid layout without table) Horizontal menu using <UL><LI>. I searched Google, but i found only the menus aligned either towards left or middle. Not extending to full width. When i give "width: auto" for LI then all the links get aligned towards the left. Or if i specify some particular width say 12.5% for each Li then when i make it to 800x600 screen its wrapping to second line. Hi, I'm having a problem, I'm using the chunk of css code below to make a horizontal menu that I want to run across the 895 px #container that I've created. The menu fits perfectly in IE, but in firefox it overflows the last menu button the next line. How do I get the css menu to be the exact same width in firefox and IE?? Here's the css: Code: #snav ul
{
float:left;
width:100%;
padding:0px;
margin:0;
list-style-type:none;
}
a
{
float:left;
width:7.9em;
text-decoration:none;
text-align:center;
color:black;
background-color:#eed9ac;
padding:0.2em 0.6em;
border-right:1px solid black;
}
a:hover {background-color:#e7bb5b; text-decoration:underline; color:#9b2f1e}
li {display:inline}
Thanks for looking! Hi, is there anyway to make the horizontal menu on the top of the webpage fit the entire width of the screen along with the titlebar? I mean, irrespective of the number of menu items, the menu should be exactly as wide as the screen. Thanks. I'm using the suckerfish drop down method to get ie6 to work. For some reason, the drop down portion of the the menu pushes out to the right of its parent by about 26px. I have #menu li ul {width:213px} I've noticed that if I delete this width, Firefox and IE7 behave the same way as IE6 pushing the menu outside the parent and moving the elements of the page. I'm having to use position:relative; left:-36px; padding-left:10px to get the sub menu to line up in the first place. This all tells me that there is something forcing the sub menu to be wider than it should be, the difference being that in the later browsers, I can tell it to behave. Here's the menu stylesheet: Code: #menu {
width:860px;

Hello, How can i create a fixed-width menu to the left with content to the right that fills up the rest of the page. ie, no auto-width, it needs to fill up all the way to the right edge. So if you create a horizontal line <hr> in the content it will draw all the way to the right (except for some padding of course) Like this pictu tinyurl.com/ydsr2ov Hi, I'm very new, so please be gentle. I don't know much about CSS but have been trying to make a drop down menu for my website. I managed to find the basics of what I wanted on a CSS site and know enough to have been able to tweak it (almost) to my requirements. My problem is that the dropdown column widths are set and ideally I'd like them to adjust according to the amount of text which is to be displayed (I hope I'm making sense here), but I don't know how. I tried setting the width to automatic, but all that did was give me a huge column the width of my screen! I've pasted the code and wonder if anyone would be good enough to tell me if it's possible to do what I want and if it is, could you point me in the right direction please?

The problem with this version is I can't change the width of the submenu, or else the second Chapter title will float to the right. So I tried the second method: PHP Code: ul.top { /* Top drop down menu styles */ display : block; padding : 0; margin : 0; border : none; font-family : Comic Sans MS; font-size : 10pt; text-align : center; vertical-align : middle; } #topnav li.topnav0 { /* Top drop down top level menu styles */ position : relative; float : left; background-image : url('image/menu_banner_1.jpg'); background-position : 50% 0% ; background-repeat : no-repeat; width : 110px; line-height : 31px; } #topnav li.topnav0 a { /* Top level link styles */ color : #000000; text-decoration : none; } li.topnav0 a:hover { /* Top level hover styles */ text-decoration : none; font-weight : bold; } #topnav ul.topnav1 a:hover { /* Drop down hover styles */ text-decoration : none; background-image : url('image/menu_cube_1.gif'); background-position : 0 50% ; background-repeat : no-repeat; } li.topnav0 ul.topnav1 {/* Drop down box style */ display : none; background : #FFFFFF; padding : 0; margin : 0; position : absolute; top : 100%; left : 0; } #topnav ul.topnav1 a { /* Drop Down Submenu Item Styles */ display : block; padding : 0; margin : 0; text-indent : 16px; text-align : left; font-size : 8pt; line-height : 20px; width : 250px; } #topnav li.topnav0:hover ul.topnav1, li.over ul.topnav1, li.over li.topnav1 { /* Makes Drop down work in IE */ display : block; } And the HTML is as follow: Code:
<div>
<ul class="top" id="topnav">
<li class="topnav0"><div><a href="#">Home</a></div>
</li>
<li class="topnav0"><div><a href="#">Intro</a></div>
<ul class="topnav1">
<li><a href="#">Part 1 Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Part 2 Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Part 3 Title</a></li>
</ul>
</li> <li class="topnav0"><div><a href="#">Chapter 1</a></div>
<ul class="topnav1">
<li><a href="#">Part 1 Long Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Part 2 Long Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Part 3 Long Title</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
The problem with this version is that I cannot change the background image for each Chapter on the top level. Also, I cannot make the background of the drop down submenu transparent. If I make it transparent or delete the background line, the Part 2 link will not show up. Any help of making either method to work is great appreciated! Thank you very much! I found this code online and I'm trying to alter it slightly for what I need. Code: <html>

It gives a nice center-aligned horizontal CSS menu. What I'm wondering is: How do I make it so that the width of each of the blue boxes the links are in are the same width? Say I want them all width: 180px; Where do I put that style so that it applies to all the links? [On a related issue, the style sheet has 4 things related to #navcontainer. How does one know which one of these to put additional styles in?] Thanks Much. j 9 I'm having a serious brain fart here...I must have come across this issue a million times before but I guess I haven't thought about it for so long, that I'm at a loss.... Very simply, I want to have a horizontal menu using text (ie not images) that will fill to fit the width of the page. Now I'd want to make there be a min-width and I can do that, but there's got to be a way to have the padding between the items adjust depending on how wide the browser is, right? And I should be able to do this with CSS and not have to use tables right? In other words, the width of the individual menu items will remain the same, but in a browser that's say 800px wide the space between the first item will be very near the left side of the page, and the last item will be very near the right side of the page and the items will be spaced evenly between them. But if the page is 1200px wide, the first and last items will still be very left and very right, but the spacing in between the rest of them will be bigger so that it fills the page width. ?????????/ Hi, Here is my problem: I have a horizontal css menu using a list. It is embedded within a table <td> element. The menu is floating to the left as I suppose is inteneded by the css code, but I want the whole list to be centered with respect to the <td> element. I put <td align=center> but that does not center the whole list. It is still flushed against the left side of the <td> element. Also, I want the entire list to cover the entire width of the <table>. How do I accomplish these tasks? I have searched on google without any success. thank you for your help in advance. Here is the CSS code and Html code for your reference: CSS: Code:
<style type="text/css">
.horizontalcssmenu ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
/*Top level list items*/
.horizontalcssmenu ul li{
position: relative;

You will notice when you hover your mouse over the last item in the menu, you will notice that the hover color does not go the whole way to the end of the td element. the list is flush to the left of the td element I need it to cover the whole width of the table. any help would be very much appreciated. A left floating text box that text wraps around the top, right and bottom is not rendering at the same size in all browsers (IE and Firefox are my main test platforms). The page was going pretty well, thanks to some help I have already received, but I hit a snag on this. Please take a look at the test page below. TEST PAGE The relevant style code follows: Code:
.textboxleft
{
background: #3E5C92;
font: normal 0.8em/140% arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 10px;
width: 160px;
border: 1px solid #E4E7F5;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0.5em;
}
.textboxleft p
{
color: #000000;
}
ul li
{
color: #E0E0F6;
font: normal 0.9em/135% tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
Of course, you can also look at the complete source code and download the css file for more information. I would be happy to provide any additional information. If there is something I can alter in the CSS to make the box 160px wide (or whatever I decide on) in all browsers, please let me know. I am very new at this and have only gotten this far with the help of people like you. Thank you, Grump PS: you will also notice another thread concerning the bulleted list problem you see. It bumps into the text box and doesn't look good. Please excuse any redundancy, but these are 2 different problems, I think. I am having problems with a horizontal list menu. If you take a look at the link below I'm trying to get the top picture, menu and the main content area to all line up vertically. http://www.willisemail.co.uk/skill/ I may be wrong but the list menu seems to be the problem as it never lines up. Any help would be great or a suggestion on how to go about this another way.
