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{
background:#66563D url(images/mainmenu_off.gif) no-repeat;
display:block;
text-decoration:none;
color:#F4F1E5;
height:31px;
padding-top:10px;
}

#mainmenu li.navigation a:hover {
background:transparent;
color:#66563D;
}

#mainmenu li#home {
background-image:url(images/home_roll.gif);
}

#mainmenu li#home a{
background-image:url(images/home_off.gif);
}

#mainmenu li#home a:hover {
background:transparent;
}


#mainmenu li#contact {
background-image:url(images/contact_roll.gif);
}

#mainmenu li#contact a {
background-image:url(images/mainmenu_off.gif);
}

#mainmenu li#contact a:hover {
background:transparent;
}

	/* BEGIN DROP DOWN MENU */
	
	li ul {
	  display: none;
	  position: absolute; 
	  top: 1px;
	  margin-left:-2px;
	  background-color:#B8A488;
	  border-left:1px solid #66563D;
	  border-bottom:1px solid #66563D;
	  padding:2px;
	  z-index:500;
	}
	
	* html li ul {
	top:26px;
	}
	
	/*
	li ul li {
	padding:0;
	}
	*/

	li > ul {
	top: auto;
	left: auto;
	}

	li:hover ul, li.over ul{ 
		display: block;
	}
	

Thanks!

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.

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 {
 float: right;
 width: 170px;
 text-align: center;
}

#leftcolumn {
 float: left;
 width: 545px;
 padding: 10px;
}

h3#bftahead {
	text-align:left;
	color:#c1001f;
	font-size:1.5em;
	font-weight:bold;
	margin:23px 0px 10px 0px;
	}

#bfta h4 {
	font-size:1.1em;
	margin:0em;
	padding:0.4em 0.1em 0.6em 0.1em
	}

#bfta {
	width:170px;
   	text-align:left;
   	padding:0px;
   	margin:0px 0px 10px 0px;
   	list-style-type:none;
   	height:47em;
   	overflow:hidden;
   	background:#ffffff url('images/bfta-background.jpg') bottom no-repeat;
	border-bottom:1px solid #cfcfcf;
   }

#bfta li {float:left;width:100%;}

#bfta li a {
   	padding:0.5em 3%;
   	display:block;
   	width:94%;
   	height:1.95em;
	margin-bottom:-0.4em;
   	overflow:hidden;
   	text-decoration:none;
   	background:transparent url('images/bfta-background.png') no-repeat;
   	color:#333333;
   	font-family:arial, sans-serif;
   }

#bfta li a#last, #bfta li a:hover {height:24em;}

#bfta-whitebrand {list-style:none;margin:0em 0em 1em 1em;padding:0px;}
#bfta-whitebrand li {padding:0em 0.4em;}	

</style>

<div id="leftcolumn">
<ul id="bfta">

	<li>
	<h4>a1</h4>
	a1
    </li>

	<li><a href="a2">
	<h4>a2</h4>
	a2</a>
    </li>

	<li><a href="a3">
	<h4>a4</h4>
	a3</a>
    </li>

</ul>
</div>

My second level menu items are not showing in IE, but show fine in firefox.

	margin: 0 auto;
	padding-left:0px;

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,
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

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.

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!

Hi

I am trying to create a drop down menu on my existing design.

How would I add a drop down to Page 3 menu that looks like this:

Without the menu:

Any Ideas / Suggestions? :|

Hey there!

I'm having a horrible time trying to figure out what is wrong with my dropdown menu. I cannot get it to work as it should in Internet Explorer, though it's fine in Firefox and Chrome.

In Firefox, it is perfectly aligned to the center of the navigation bar, but in Internet Explorer, it is not and is elevated towards the top. In FF, there are links that dropdown under a few of the links when you hover over the initial link. This does not happen in IE. However, in both IE and FF, the background of the initial link turns dark green when you hover over it (as it should).

Simply, I need the links in Internet Explorer look as they do in Firefox. I've gone through for days and tried to see what's wrong, but I can't think of anything.

Here's the menu's CSS:
Code:

.menu {
   border:none;
   border:0px;
   margin:0px;
   padding-top: 5px;
   padding-left: 3px;
   font-family: Tahoma;
   font-size: 20px;
}

.menu ul {
   margin: 0px;
   padding: 0px;
   list-style: none;
   height: 35px;
}

.menu li {
   float: left;
   padding: 0px;
}

.menu li a {
   color: #000;
   line-height: 35px;
   display: block;
   padding: 0px 25px;
   text-align: center;
   text-decoration: none;
   margin:0px;
}

.menu li a:hover, .menu ul li:hover a {
   background: #919d21;
   color: #000;
   text-decoration: none;
}

.menu li ul {
   background: #919d21;
   display: none;
   height: auto;
   position: absolute;
   width: 150px;
   padding: 0px;
   border: 0px;
   margin: 0px;
   z-index: 200;
   /*top:1em;
   /*left:0;*/
}

.menu li:hover ul {
   display: block;
}

.menu li li {
   width: 150px;
   margin:0px;
   padding:0px;
   display: block;
   float: none;
}

.menu li:hover li a {
   background: none;
}

.menu li ul a {
   display: block;
   height: 35px;
   font-size: 12px;
   font-style: normal;
   margin: 0px;
   padding: 0px 10px 0px 15px;
   text-align: left;
}

.menu li ul a:hover, .menu li ul li:hover a {
   background: #a7b235;
   border: 0px;
   color: #000;
   text-decoration: none;
}

.menu p {
   clear: left;
}

Here's the menu's HTML:
Code:
