CSS - No Tables Huh? Hmmm. How To Make An Overhead Menu?
Have a look at the menu at the top of this page. While it does use some CSS, it doesn't appear to use it for spacing. (In point of fact, this page uses tables quite a bit, though not for that menu).
Anyway, if I want to create a top menu (rather than a side menu, perhaps), then how do I evenly space the menu choices across the div (area) that I create for it? Something like: Home Directions Photos Login FAQs About Us but nice and even-spaced across the area designated for it. Naturally, I could do the math and use {position:absolute; left:16%} for each item, but this is a bad substitution for a quick, effective, and not so dirty table. Is there a way to set something up once in CSS that applies to all words or <a>'s or something, within a <div>? Thanks. Similar Tutorialshello everyone, i've been pulling my hairs on this one. i have a layout designed and i want to produce the html and CSS. what i wish is that the layout fills the screen by stretching towards the right and bottom, according to what's inside the "content" area. my problem is having the left side stretch vertically as needed to display the content , so that it joins the footer. the structure of the page blocks would be: (see attached img) any idea how to do this ? please help, it's urgent !! thanks a great lot, alx hi, im not sure if im posting in the right page but after viewing the page source, i think its the best way to post it right here i just want to know what should i learn to make such beautiful block/tables whatever call it just like at kathymarks dot com? any suggestion what should i learn from? links? thanks! on the side note, how about the tables/blocks on deviant art? thanks for the replies! Hi I have a legacy site which is laid out in tables, and rather large. There is a cell holding a table which holds, amongst other things, a link to a couple of js scripts which generate a dynamic menu. I have been trying to use a media=print stylesheet to set display:none on that cell (which I have given an ID). This works fine in terms of the static content in that cell - the adjacent 100% width cell 'expands' leftwards to fill the gap, which is what I want, but the menu is still being generated over the top. The links to the two scripts are within the <td> which has been hidden by the css, but the menu is still being generated. I would convert the whole site to css pos if I had the time... Hey everyone, I'm trying to make a menu at the top of my page that will display 3 equally-sized boxes, each containing 4 links under each other. But for some reason, it isn't working. HTML code: Code: <div id="ie_center"> <div id="nav_boxes_outer"> <div class="floatbox" style="float: left;"> <center><a href="view_table.php" style="text-decoration: none;">View table</a><br>Liz Gargon</center> </div> <div class="floatbox" style="float: right;"> <center><a href="email.php" style="text-decoration: none;">Email</a><br>Paul Duggan</center> </div> <div class="floatbox"> <center><a href="view_users.php" style="text-decoration: none;">View users</a><br>Anthony Murnane</center> </div> </div> </div> I've tried changing the alignment of the float for each box, but it doesn't work. CSS code: Code: #ie_center { width: 100%; text-align: center; } #nav_boxes_outer { width: 100%; height: 120px; margin: 0 auto; margin-top: 20px; } .floatbox { border: 1px #000000 solid; position: relative; margin: 0 auto; width: 30%; height: 120px; text-align: left; background-color: #DDDDDD; float: none; display: inline; } Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance Hi, I spend many hours on the net to fix this problem, hope you can help me. I made a site with 3 frames; header, menu and main. In the menu I made a table (width and height 100%), with rows with one cell each. In each cell is a link. With some links I want to choose between more pages. So I found a nice dhtml menu, witch looks like http://dhtml-menu.com/examples/dhtml-menu-ex2.html. Everything works fine, ecxept the position of the submenus. Here is some HTML: <table><tr><td> <a href="#" target="#" onMouseOver="hideAll(); showLayer('layer1'); stopTime();" onMouseOut="startTime();">Name</a> </td></tr></talbe> ... <div id='layer1'> <a href="#" target="#" onMouseOver="stopTime();" onMouseOut="startTime();">Name</a><br> <a href="#" target="#" onMouseOver="stopTime();" onMouseOut="startTime();">Name2</a><br> </div> And here is some CSS: #layer1, #layer2, #layer3, #layer4 { position: absolute; z-index : 90; visibility : hidden; width : 150pt; left: 10pt } #layer1 { top : 0pt } Questions: 1 is it possible to position the submenu exactly next (or under or above)to the corresponding main menu item, I think it should be with relative positioning. 2 since I use frames and the menu takes the left frame, is it possible to position this submenu on the right side of the main menu item, i.e. on top of the main frame, or in the main frame. 3 I read a lot about this and many people say that a page like this should be made using tables (or CSS-P?), instead of frames. If I have to or want to change it, does that mean that I have to write a table structure in every page and when I want to change a menu item, I have tot change that in every page? Hope some can help me! Hi, Ive got a joomla worksite and it has a menu on footer. The menu uses the following css code : #footmenu ul { margin: auto; padding: 0; list-style:none; margin-top:7px; } #footmenu li { float:left; border-right: 2px solid #fff; background: none; padding: 0; display: inline; padding: 10 10px; } } #footmenu a { font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; float:left; display:block; height: 25px; line-height: 25px; padding: 0 15px; color: #666; } #footmenu a:hover { /*background: #e1e1e1; */ color:#98aa65; } I have read some posts and articles on the web but i didnt have any luck with it. I could make it align in left or right but not in the middle. From what i read, i have to align the whole div as one part, dunno Any help appreciated, Thanks Newb alert! I'm not sure if CSS is the way to do what I want or not, but I'm guessing it is. I want a horizontal menu (header) across the top that does not move. The page below should be able to scroll but when it pass under the menu it should disappear. You can probably tell I'm trying to eliminate using frames for menus in an application I work on. I've seen a lot of using position:fixed which won't work in IE, which it has to of course. Is this possible? If so, is it CSS? It's not homework so you can just point me in the right direction. :-) Ok, I have a website that i'm building with about 25 pages, and I keep on having to change the side navigation bar, and then I have to copy and paste it on each page to update it. IS THERE A WAY FOR ME TO ONLY UPDATE IT ONCE AND IT UPDATES TO ALL THE PAGES? Is the answer css? or i-frames(or whatever it's called) If so, then how would I do this?! PLEASE HELP! Hey guys! Usually if you make a table and then make another table, the other table will be located below the table before. I want them to be side by side. So I tried this CSS value : table { display : inline; } then it worked, but the problem is, that if the tables have different sizes, the smaller one is not aligned to the top and looks smaller than the table before it. I want them all to be aligned to the top. I tried vertical-align:top and valign="top", but they still don't work... Is there any other way to make tables have no line breaks before and after the table? Is there any other property that controls the line breaks of the table? I tried display:table-cell , but the problem is still the same. thanks I'm not confident enough with CSS to just use it, so I'm mixing it with some tables too. I want a layout with two tables next to each at the top and then another below. The two at the top are working fine, but the one below keeps jumping back up to the top. I've managed to get an ugly fix by putting in a load of <br> but this doesn't work in IE7 (unless I add a lot more, pushing the content way down in other browsers) and isn't much of a solution. The other problem I have is that I want to have the majority of my page with a white background, but to get a surrounding border I've set the body background to be a colour and then placed a div around all the content. I want this div to be the size of the page and so set it's height to 100%, but this makes it too small. Not sure why. Here is my code for my page and CSS. If anyone can help I'd be most grateful.

Also not sure if it's correct, but I can worry about that later. link: The Page Hi all, I've got a horizontal menu that is working just fine in every browser but IE 6 and 7. 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! 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: <!-- body { behavior: url(/images/csshover2.htc); } div#categorynav ul {margin: 0px; padding: 0px;} .submenu { position: relative;

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?

Anyway I found this vertical menu that works the way I want it. But I also need a horizontal version of it with dropdown submenus. Can someone help with this?

My result is acceptable: http://rickduley.webs.com/roundShoulderTabMenu.jpg except for the fact that the tabs are set below the menuBar on which the are supposed to display. I have run out of ideas. Would someone please set me on the right path? Thanks. P.S.: the code is at http://rickduley.webs.com/roundShoulderTabMenu.zip.kgb - you have to delete the 'dot key gee bee' suffix. Hi folks. I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a template I've been working with (struggling with). It has a style sheet attached to it and I'm trying to replace the main, static menu with a drop down Spry Menu. I've managed to get most of it figured out but my dropdowns aren't colored correctly. The Spry Menu isn't centered on the page. The menu titles are spread out too far also (ie. it's suppose to be "About Me" but the "Me" is way below the "About"). I'm guessing it's probably an easy fix for you all but I've been playing with it all day without a lot of progress. Thank you. Let me know if I should post links. |
