CSS - Styling Drop Downs
I don't have any styles applied to these drop downs. I don't really know how to do what I need to do.
I want to make this drop down: graiai [dot] com /screenshots/makethis.gif Look like this drop down: graiai [dot] com /screenshots/looklikethis.gif Help! Similar TutorialsIs is possible to get CSS drop-downs to work in IE6? If so what does it require? Thanks! Hi there, Any help would be appreciated. Im currently building a site http://lafine.101webtech.com Im implementing the drop down menu system from CSSPlay for some reason its all good in IE7, Firefox, Safari (PC) but IE6 is not display the top level items as a horizontal list. I know the menu works in IE6 as I tested on the site before I grabbed the code. It must be something in my implementation but I can't for the life of me work out what. Cheers, Phil This method is just awesome, but how on earch does someone get the font color to stay on its hover state? http://htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/ This should be a sticky and lets solve this problem together. This question is always asked but never answered. Hello All, I'm working on this site at the moment: http://www.whitecapgraphics.com/APP Unfortunately I seem to be missing the drop down menus in IE6. Can anyone explain why? (No, I haven't made it standards compliant yet and I am aware that the png is not transparent in IE6. Aside from that feel free to pick on me for anything else, I take criticism well.)

It can be viewed in action at: http://www.sirfragalot.com/wikindx2/ (choose the 'chocolate vanilla fudge sundae' from the Wikindx/preferences menu.) I have two questions: 1/ I'm aware that Konqueror does not support CSS drop-downs. It doesn't concern me as I've programmed a way around it. However, the menu items occasionally stack up vertically on the left side of the browser window: they're supposed to be horizontal. This stacking and subsequent un-stacking seems to be quite random. What's the fix? 2/ In IE, the drop-downs are rendered from the bottom right corner of the originating top menu item (they should be directly underneath). What is the fix?

It seems that sometimes the drop-down menu disappears before the user has a chance to click one of the options. Anyone have a guess to how I can make it more stable? Just one of those educational "How Do They Do that?" Questions... Here is my site...(NOT a real business...just a project) My Projekt I was wondering how those drop shadows around the body "frame" are created like the following site: This Site I've looked under different threads, viewed hundreds of lines of page source code and search engine results to no avail. I did find ONE article stating there is a conflict in FF/Netscape using CSS to render these drop shadows correctly. Is there a cross-platform (browser) friendly way to create these drop shadows utilizing my friend, CSS; without having to use 200 1 x 1 px images? Thanks for helping me learn (in advance)...(bows gracefully) PWD I have a menu constructed <div><ul><li><a><img><p>. The li is margined as 16% to space a given number of links across the page in the 100% div. I am trying to put a border around the <a> but the browser only shows the border as a sort of collapsed div and does not surround the child elements. I try giving height to the <a> but that does not work. Any ideas how I can get the <a> border to surround the <img><p> tags? I see that layout on my site is completely broken in IE7... funnyfurniture.net Could anybody help me to fix my css... Hi, my xml code is: <room> <features> <pool/> <Aircon/> <Radio/> <DVD/> <beds double="2"/> </features> </room> <room> <features> <pool/> <TV/> <VCR/> <beds twin="1" double="2"/> </features> </room> i want to Display the word "Features" in bold, then under the word features i want the list of features to be displayed with bullet points. I want beds to appear in bold in the list. This is the code i have so far: features{ } features:before { content:"Features"; font-weight:bold; } beds:before{ content:"Beds: "; } beds[sofa-bed]:after{ content:attr(sofa-bed)" x Sofa-bed "; } beds[double]:after{ content:attr(double)" x Double "; } beds[twin]:after{ content:attr(twin)" x Twin "; } The problem is, i can't get in to display anything except, the beds entry. But when it displays the beds entry, it only gives the last one in the list. So the one with a twin and a double, only the twin is displayed. Any idea's? Hi Guys, Hope you are all well. My page layout is in CSS, however in the middle I have a selection of images and text, based in a standard HTML table. All the images are 300px wide. It works fine on all nice small browsers, but it doesn't look nice on screens with a high resolution, because the images have lots of ****e space round them, and adjusting the background colour looks just as bad. I have tried to apply width: 300px; (as well as max-width: 300px; ) to the td element, but neither FF or IE seems to accept this? Should they accept this? Has anyone got a better more practical layout model for this type of display? either using a fix to the above or 'pure' CSS and ditch the table? Charlie I am styling my <pre> on my template document and have some questions. First, I tend to gravitate to semantic correct CSS and xHTML. Thus chose xHTML strict for my template document and have been extensively styling the CSS style sheet. The <pre> tag presents the latest dilemma. Basically, I came across this link where the developer presented CODE in a <textarea> tag. The code did not require entities, < or &rt; in the markup. These styling attributes appealed to me; inset design and overflow with scrollbars for extending text beyond the page. Bottom of the Page http://www.evolt.org/article/HTML_is_not_an_acronym/17/35750/ The developer also used presentational styling in the markup. HTML strict does not allow one to use style attributes in the HMTL; besides the style sheet. But my sensibilities gravitate toward using semantically correct markup. Most people, including myself, use div containers with classes or ID for presentational styling. But for this exercise, the <pre> or <code> tag are preferable since these classes serve to present (you guess it) code. One annoyance about the <pre> relates to indenting the markup (the actual text file). By default (and by design), <pre> tag incorporates any indents or white space in the browser. My thoughts revolved around changing the wrapping property to account for line breaks and disregard white space. Then, in theory, one could indent the markup for readability. This document is for personal use and semantically organized and indented for readability. The correct markup will help me understand or edit the document two years from now. In addition, it forms my quick reference to copy & paste tags. The following class style did not produce the <textarea> desired attributes. Code: pre.CodeExample { /*background-color: transparent;*/ border: medium inset #CCCCCC; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; margin: 1em 2em 1em 2em; overflow: auto; padding: .5em .5em .5em .5em; white-space: nowrap; } Please let me know what are the default CSS attributes for the <pre> and <textarea> tags. Please let me know if you have any suggestions about styling the <pre> tag or links to cool implementations. You may review my markup at the following link. http://www.geocities.com/robert_neville310/Template_Sample.html#blockquote The Blockquote section has several methods for displaying code. I am looking to consolidate and standardize my classes. Suggestions are welcomed. div.ExampleOutput pre.CodeExample Hello, I am trying to style my form inputs, textareas and selects as follows: input, select, textarea { border: solid 6px #ECF0F9; color: #252525; font: normal 0.75em Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; padding: 0.25em; width: 520px; } I am having a few problems: Firefox 3: 1. The select is narrow than the inputs and textareas; 2. When I click the select the dropdown borders look different ... some are thinner than others. IE 7: 1. The select is narrow than the inputs and textareas; 2. The border of the select is not changed. What am I doing wrong and how can I make the appearance of a Select look the same across various browsers? Can I do this with JQuery? Thanks, Miguel Hi all I just want to change the colour of the dot on a ul/li list. Can anybody tell me how I can do that in CSS? Cheers. Hi, This will be a quick question. Why cant I style ul inside a div as: .css-tabs { margin:0 !important; padding:0; height:30px; border-bottom:1px solid #666; background:#EFEFEF none repeat scroll 0 0; } <!-- Left column --> <div class="floatLeft width73"> <!-- the tabs --> <ul class="tabsss"> <li><a href="#first">Tab 1</a></li> <li><a href="#second">Tab 2</a></li> <li><a href="#third">Tab 3</a></li> </ul> </div> I'm reading around, wondering how I get form fields to change style and the text that is inserted in the form fields to change style (font/size).. Is there an easy way to do this? for example http://member.classifieds.com/userjoin.php the entry boxes are smaller, and the text is smaller.. I looked at their code and I'm not quite sure how they achieved this. I set up a class (named "emphasized") to be bold, italic and color #087112. The color is being applied but for some reason the font is not appearing bold or italicized. (See "Introduction to EFT" text.) The bullets (set up in css as id selector "li") are not being styled either (same thing, the color is applied but not the list styling). Since I'm a new user I'm not allowed to put links in my post but you can see the pages he HTML page can be found at tinyurl dot com /da97nb CSS can be found at tinyurl dot com /de9tqe Help! And thank you! Hi is there anyway of making the height of the textbox smaller. I know you an change the width of it Thanks Hi all I just want to change the colour of the dot on a ul/li list. Can anybody tell me how I can do that in CSS? Cheers. |
