CSS - Flyout Menu Problems...ie Of Course
Hello, everyone. I'm a relative newcomer to CSS, and I decided I'd try and add a neat flyout menu to the new site I'm developing: www.mindwallpictures.com.
As you'll notice, it works great in Firefox, but doesn't work at all in IE. Here is the CSS code from my site: Code: /* ================================================================ This copyright notice must be untouched at all times.

This is the one thing holding me back, since people...actually...use IE. -_- Poor souls. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. Similar TutorialsHi there, I'm working my way through html, css and web design at the moment, and looking at drop down menus. Currently I'm looking at css only menus, I haven't delved into javascript yet. So I I've got a few questions regarding what I've currently got: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Hello</title> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="default.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="navbar"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Main Page</a></li> <li><a href="#">About</a></li> <li><a class="dropmenu"><a href="#">Tutorials</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Photoshop</a></li> <li><a href="#">Dreamweaver</a></li> <li><a href="#">HTML</a></li> <li><a href="#">CSS</a></li> </ul> </a></li> <li><a class="dropmenu"><a href="#">Articles</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">3 column magic</a></li> <li><a href="#">Site layouts</a></li> <li><a href="#">Creating Navbars</a></li> </ul> </a></li> <li><a href="#">Links</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> css Code: Original - css Code @charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */ #navbar ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; background-color: #3F9; width: 120px; } #navbar li { position: relative; } #navbar li li { position: static; } #navbar ul ul { background-color: #7B5; top: 0; left: 120px; display: none; position: absolute; } #navbar a { text-decoration: none; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 5px 10px; } #navbar a.dropmenu { padding: 0; margin: 0; border: none; display: block; } #navbar li:hover ul, #navbar a.dropmenu:hover ul { display: block; } #navbar a:hover, #navbar li:hover { color: #000; background-color: #3CF; } #navbar li:hover li:hover { background-color: #F04; } @charset "utf-8"; So its currently a vertical flyout menu, I'll be looking at horizontal drop down ones soon. Regarding the last css rule, I was just experimenting with presentation and was wondering if I could make the second level of menus have a different hover background colour than that of the initial menu. Is it just something I've got wrong with the selector (#navbar li:hover li:hover)? The 2nd, more puzzling thing, is that you can see in the first menu, only the text comes up as a hyperlink (or clickable). In the second level menus, the whole area of the li (being an a element displayed in block mode) is clickable. I am pretty sure this is a result of setting the position property of the the li elements to relative. I have set the li elements to static (default) in the second menu, and as noted, they work fine (or more desirably). Why does changing the position property of the li to relative suddenly stop it from being clickable? The relative positioning is needed to correctly position the second level uls (menus), unless there is another way to do that. BTW Currently looking at it with ie7 at the moment. What's going on here? Lastly, I was hoping my a.dropmenu elements would let ie6 display the menu; sadly this doesn't seem to be happening. Again, any ideas what's gone wrong? the following code works in opera and i think mozilla, but in ie only the top menu flies-out. the other two (a div in a table, and a table in a div) don't work. Any idea how to amend the css so they do work. I have tried setting the z-index to various things, so i dont think that's it. ...waiting to fly Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd" > <!-- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> --><HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> New Document </TITLE> <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" href="css/flyout2.css" /> <!--[if lte IE 6]> <style> .nav-head ul li a.hide, .nav-head ul li a:visited.hide {display:none;} .nav-head ul li a:hover ul li a.hide {display:none;} .nav-head ul li a:hover {color:#fcf; background:#36f;} .nav-head ul li a:hover ul {display:block; position:absolute; top:0; left:105px; width:105px;z-index:99;overflow:visible;} .nav-head ul li a:hover ul li a.sub {background:#6a3; color:#fff;} .nav-head ul li a:hover ul li a {display:fixed; background:#22e; color:#000;} .nav-head ul li a:hover ul li a ul {visibility:hidden;} .nav-head ul li a:hover ul li a:hover {background:#cc0; color:#0a0;} .nav-head ul li a:hover ul li a:hover ul {visibility:visible; position:absolute; left:105px; top:0; color:#955;} </style> <![endif]--> </HEAD> <BODY> From code at <A HREF="http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/flyoutt.html">this site</A><BR> <div class="nav-head"> <ul> <li><a class="hide" href="../menu/index.html">DEMOS</a> <!--[if lte IE 6]> <a href="../menu/index.html">DEMOS <table><tr><td> <![endif]--> <ul> <li><a href="../menu/zero_dollars.html" title="The zero dollar ads page">zero dollars</a></li> <li><a class="hide" href="../menu/hover_click.html" title="Hover/click with no active/focus borders">HOVER/CLICK ></a> <!--[if lte IE 6]> <a class="sub" href="../menu/hover_click.html" title="Hover/click with no active/focus borders">HOVER/CLICK > <table><tr><td> <![endif]--> <ul> <li><a href="../menu/form.html" title="Styling forms">styled form</a></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]> </td></tr></table> </a> <![endif]--> </li> <li><a href="../menu/shadow_boxing.html" title="Multi-position drop shadow">shadow boxing</a></li> <li><a href="../menu/em_images.html" title="em size images compared">em sized images</a></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]> </td></tr></table> </a> <![endif]--> </li> <!--[if lte IE 6]> </td></tr></table> </a> <![endif]--> </li> </ul> </div> <!-- end 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 --> <TABLE width='30%' bgcolor='red'> <TR> <TD> <div class="nav-head"> <ul> <li><a class="hide" href="../menu/index.html">DEMOS</a> <!--[if lte IE 6]> <a href="../menu/index.html">DEMOS <table><tr><td> <![endif]--> <ul> <li><a href="../menu/zero_dollars.html" title="The zero dollar ads page">zero dollars</a></li> <li><a class="hide" href="../menu/hover_click.html" title="Hover/click with no active/focus borders">HOVER/CLICK ></a> <!--[if lte IE 6]> <a class="sub" href="../menu/hover_click.html" title="Hover/click with no active/focus borders">HOVER/CLICK > <table><tr><td> <![endif]--> <ul> <li><a href="../menu/form.html" title="Styling forms">styled form</a></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]> </td></tr></table> </a> <![endif]--> </li> <li><a href="../menu/shadow_boxing.html" title="Multi-position drop shadow">shadow boxing</a></li> <li><a href="../menu/em_images.html" title="em size images compared">em sized images</a></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]> </td></tr></table> </a> <![endif]--> </li> <!--[if lte IE 6]> </td></tr></table> </a> <![endif]--> </li> </ul> </div> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <!-- end 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 --> <div class="nav-head"> <TABLE bgcolor='yellow' width='250%' height='250%'> <TR> <TD> <ul> <li><a class="hide" href="../menu/index.html">DEMOS</a> <!--[if lte IE 6]> <a href="../menu/index.html">DEMOS <table><tr><td> <![endif]--> <ul> <li><a href="../menu/zero_dollars.html" title="The zero dollar ads page">zero dollars</a></li> <li><a class="hide" href="../menu/hover_click.html" title="Hover/click with no active/focus borders">HOVER/CLICK ></a> <!--[if lte IE 6]> <a class="sub" href="../menu/hover_click.html" title="Hover/click with no active/focus borders">HOVER/CLICK > <table><tr><td> <![endif]--> <ul> <li><a href="../menu/form.html" title="Styling forms">styled form</a></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]> </td></tr></table> </a> <![endif]--> </li> <li><a href="../menu/shadow_boxing.html" title="Multi-position drop shadow">shadow boxing</a></li> <li><a href="../menu/em_images.html" title="em size images compared">em sized images</a></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]> </td></tr></table> </a> <![endif]--> </li> <!--[if lte IE 6]> </td></tr></table> </a> <![endif]--> </li> </ul> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </div> </BODY> </HTML> I have a vertical flyout menu setup on the left side of the page with the associated links arranged in vertical columns next to each menu selection. It is working fine 99% of the time but I am getting some reports that the vertical columns do not touch the main selection column so that when the user moves the cursor to the right to go to the selection list there is a break between the columns and the column disappears before a selection can be made. I have not been able to duplicate this on my IE8 and it works fine with Firefox. This makes it rather hard to trouble shoot so I am hoping someone else has had this problem and know what I am talking about. It seems to only happen to users with IE7 and IE8 but not most IE8 users. Is there perhaps some code I need to add to the CSS file that will solve this problem? THX I changed over all my CSS flyout menus from the CSSPlay method to the whatever:hover method. It's working great. I've just got a minor, but annoying, problem that occurs in IE (6 & 7 tested). URL 1 URL 2 Check out the left-side navigation menus on those two pages. Obviously they're different files, but the code is exactly the same for the menus (except the path for the links, of course). The pages even use the same stylesheet. So why, then, does the menu flutter when you hover over the "Our Dogs" <li> on the base level menu, but not move a pixel on the /dogs/ level menu? Here's the path to the stylesheet: Stylesheet 1 Hello I hope somebody can help me. I have a newly designed home page for my website, which looks fine now in pretty well all browsers - but I've just started getting feedback from people looking at the site with ie, and they say that the flyout menu on the left of the page is obscured by the content in the centre column when it does its flying out thing. I've tried giving the menu elements z-index:100; but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. I would be really appreciative if anyone can help - it is even more difficult to work out as I don't have access to a machine with ie as a browser, and remote screen shots don't show up the problem... This is the page: http://www.independentliving.co.uk/index.shtml And this is the part of the style sheet for the menu: .menu { width:150px; position:relative; margin:0; font-size:11px; margin:0px 0; z-index:100; } .menu ul li a, .menu ul li a:visited { display:block; text-decoration:none; color:#003366; width:150px; height:25px; text-align:center; border:1px solid #fff; border-width:1px 1px 0 0; background:#003366 url(nav.gif); line-height:19px; font-size:11px; z-index:100; } .menu ul { padding:0; margin:0; list-style-type: none; z-index:100; } .menu ul li { float:left; margin-right:1px; position:relative; z-index:100; } .menu ul li ul { display:none; } /* specific to non IE browsers */ .menu ul li:hover a { color:#996600; background:#cccccc; font-size:11px; text-decoration:none; z-index:100; } .menu ul li:hover ul { display:block; position:absolute; top:0; left:150px; width:150px; z-index:100; } .menu ul li:hover ul li a.hide { background:#ffffff; color:#003366; font-size:11px; text-decoration:none; } .menu ul li:hover ul li:hover a.hide { width:150px; font-size:11px; text-decoration:none; } .menu ul li:hover ul li ul { display: none; } .menu ul li:hover ul li a { display:block; background:#cccccc; color:#996600; width:200px; font-size:11px; text-decoration:none; z-index:100; } .menu ul li:hover ul li a:hover { background:#dfc184; color:#666666; font-size:11px; text-decoration:none; z-index:100; } .menu ul li:hover ul li:hover ul { display:block; position:absolute; left:151px; top:0; color:#003366; font-size:11px; text-decoration:none; z-index:100; } .menu ul li:hover ul li:hover ul li a { display:block; width:200px; background:#dfc184; color:#003366; font-size:11px; text-decoration:none; z-index:100; } .menu ul li:hover ul li:hover ul li a:hover { background:#bd8d5e; color:#fff; font-size:11px; text-decoration:none; z-index:100; } Any ideas gratefully received! Thanks Frances I was wondering if anyone knows of any tutorials or resources for creating a menu system using css. The problem I have is that when I change the submenu's which are divs to display, they pop into place. I want to change this aspect and assume there is a javascript solution to make the display slow down, but have not been able to find one on this forum or using google. Perhaps a pointer or two? Hi, I am hoping someone can help me please. I am looking for some code (CSS, PHP or otherwise) to be able to create a drop down menu (with flyout) on mouseover of some pre-existing pictures. I have tried to take some codes which "sort of" do what I need but I'm unable to modify them to do what I need them to. It seems like the varying widths of the PNGs is a sticking point. At the minute I have a navigation bar consisting of 5 PNGs of same height but different widths. I had intended it to work so that when you click on these top links you are given a page for that section, and along the top of that page are "sub links". However, I have changed my mind and would like to keep the current images, but on rollover have a drop down menu appear with the different "sub links" instead of having them on the top of each page. For example I have a PNG which says "About Clan Wars". I would like a mouseover to show a Dropdown with flyout like: >What Is Clan Wars? >What are the rules ----> D Class Rules ----> C Class Rules >Clan Wars 1 ----> Fight Card ----> Pictures ----> Videos >Clan Wars 2 ----> Fight Card ----> Pictures ----> Videos I hope that makes sense to whoever is reading. Thank you Sean 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 it is a problem with my html, then obviously I am trying to fix the wrong things. I also hope that I am using the proper terminology or something close enough that you can understand. Anyway, here is my problem. I have created a website for a dog rescue group with no spare money. So they picked me to create a website. I knew nothing about how to do it so I have been teaching myself along the way. The woman in charge of the group decided that she wanted a flyout in the left navigation and tasked me with creating it. So after a lot of research I thought I had it. Alas, I did not. That brings me to you guys. Firefox Problems: The flyouts are not big enough. They do not expand to fix the words. It looks much like text wrapping. I can't figure this out because it works in IE When I add lists in the main portion of the page and add a third tier to it, a flyout box appears at the top of the page instead of the list. Also on the lists, clicking on a something linked, stretches a "you clicked on me" box across the entire length of the page. (sorry for a lousy description. I don't know the actual term.) IE Problems: The colored boxes that surround the two links that have the flyouts, have an extra line of color below the link. I am not sure what is causing this. On one flyout are two links. The top one is cut off immediately after the word even though the one below it is not. It has the same problem with the third tier of lists being in a flyout at the top of the screen that Firefox has. If this isn't the correct area of code let me know. Oh, and I validated both the XHTML and CSS.

I am new so I am restricted until 5 posts. I am not sure if you can look on my homepage in my profile (which is the same one I am talking about here). It is test.html and doctors_office.css Any help would be great. If someone knows and easier way of do this would (if I took the long/hard way), that would be great, also. Thanks in advance from someone new at this. I want to make it so that when you go to type something into the textbox(lastname or firstname) the menu stays open. right now if you try and type something into the textbox the menu closes but you still keep right on writing and then go back into the menu and click the submit button. I also want it so that you can press the <enter> key on your keyboard and it will submit the search query that you are working on. if there is a better way of doing this all please let me know this is menu.php PHP Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>BHI and Roth's Website menu</title> <?php <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="menu_css.css" /> </head> <BODY STYLE="background-color:transparent"> <ul class="pureCssMenu pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="home.php" target="showframe">Home</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>Fill-in a form</span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="form_bhi_hoac.php" target="showframe">102HOAC</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="form_for_adding_email_addresses.php" target="showframe">Email database</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="form_support_application.php" target="showframe">Support Application</a></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>View the form data</span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="view_102hoac.php" target="showframe">102HOAC</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>Search Addressbook by:</span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>Last Name:</span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><form class="pureCssMenui" action="lastname_search.php" method="post" target="showframe"><input type="text" name="lastname" size="30" /><input type="submit" align="right" value="Search" /></form></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>First Name:</span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><form class="pureCssMenui" action="firstname_search.php" method="post" target="showframe"><input type="text" name="firstname" size="30" /><input type="submit" align="right" value="Search" /></form></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--></li> </ul> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="sa.php" target="showframe">Support Application</a></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>Resources</span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenui"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>View BHI Brochure -></span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="bhi_brochure_feb_08.pdf" target="_blank">in .pdf format</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="bhi_brochure_feb_08.swf" target="_blank">in .swf format</a></li> </ul> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="gallery.html" target="showframe">Photo Gallery</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="edit.php" target="showframe">Edit account information</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="logout.php" target="_top">Logout</a></li> </ul> </body> </html> <?php } } } else //if the cookie does not exist, they are taken to the login screen { header("Location: login.php");

I'm developing a website using Wordpress as the major CMS, it uses a navigation plugin called NAVT which makes dynamic navigation menus and allows you to nest some links under other links. Click here to see how it outputs the HTML. Basically it's a series of unordered lists inside other unordered lists, cluttered with various classes (none of them used by the plugin itself). So basically I want to turn that into a pure CSS only flyout/dropdown menus, I've seen code flying around but with all those classes that NAVT applies I'm struggling to adapt it. Has anyone done something similar to this? Cheers, I've never used CSS to make a menu before so i used an online maker @ purecssmenu.com, unfortunately they don't appear to have a decent support forum or any means of emailing them. I'm having a small problem putting the menu in to my site. The banner image for the site is 800px. When i put the menu in its not wide enough and i can't see a way of making it fit. Also i'm using a table to position it. When its positioned to the left there seems to be some padding or somthing making it not align up with the banner image. It appears to be 1 or 2px short. The style for the menu is... Code: #pcm{display:none;} ul.pureCssMenu ul{display:none} ul.pureCssMenu li:hover>ul{display:block} ul.pureCssMenu ul{position: absolute;left:-1px;top:98%;} ul.pureCssMenu ul ul{position: absolute;left:98%;top:-2px;} ul.pureCssMenu,ul.pureCssMenu ul { margin:0px; list-style:none; padding:0px 2px 2px 0px; background-color:#000000; background-repeat:repeat; border-color:#808080; border-width:1px; border-style:solid; } ul.pureCssMenu table {border-collapse:collapse}ul.pureCssMenu { display:block; zoom:1; height:21px; float: left; } ul.pureCssMenu ul{ width:225.75px; } ul.pureCssMenu li{ display:block; margin:2px 0px 0px 2px; font-size:0px; } ul.pureCssMenu a:active, ul.pureCssMenu a:focus { outline-style:none; } ul.pureCssMenu a, ul.pureCssMenu li.dis a:hover, ul.pureCssMenu li.sep a:hover { display:block; vertical-align:middle; background-color:#000000; border-width:1px; border-color:#000000; border-style:solid; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; padding:2px 5px 5px 10px; _padding-left:0; font:normal 11px Tahoma; color: #ffde00; text-decoration:none; cursor:default; } ul.pureCssMenu span{ overflow:hidden; } ul.pureCssMenu li { float:left; } ul.pureCssMenu ul li { float:none; } ul.pureCssMenu ul a { text-align:left; white-space:nowrap; } ul.pureCssMenu li.sep{ text-align:left; padding:0px; line-height:0; height:100%; } ul.pureCssMenu li.sep span{ float:none; padding-right:0; width:3px; height:100%; display:inline-block; background-color:#808080; background-image:none;} ul.pureCssMenu ul li.sep span{ width:100%; height:3px; } ul.pureCssMenu li:hover{ position:relative; } ul.pureCssMenu li:hover>a{ background-color:#ffde00; border-color:#000000; border-style:solid; font:normal 11px Tahoma; color: #000000; text-decoration:none; } ul.pureCssMenu li a:hover{ position:relative; background-color:#ffde00; border-color:#000000; border-style:solid; font:normal 11px Tahoma; color: #000000; text-decoration:none; } ul.pureCssMenu li.dis a { color: #557D4F !important; } ul.pureCssMenu img {border: none;float:left;_float:none;margin-right:2px;width:16px; height:16px; } ul.pureCssMenu ul img {width:16px; height:16px; } ul.pureCssMenu img.over{display:none} ul.pureCssMenu li.dis a:hover img.over{display:none !important} ul.pureCssMenu li.dis a:hover img.def {display:inline !important} ul.pureCssMenu li:hover > a img.def {display:none} ul.pureCssMenu li:hover > a img.over {display:inline} ul.pureCssMenu a:hover img.over,ul.pureCssMenu a:hover ul img.def,ul.pureCssMenu a:hover a:hover ul img.def,ul.pureCssMenu a:hover a:hover img.over,ul.pureCssMenu a:hover a:hover a:hover img.over{display:inline} ul.pureCssMenu a:hover img.def,ul.pureCssMenu a:hover ul img.over,ul.pureCssMenu a:hover a:hover ul img.over,ul.pureCssMenu a:hover a:hover img.def,ul.pureCssMenu a:hover a:hover a:hover img.def{display:none} ul.pureCssMenu a:hover ul,ul.pureCssMenu a:hover a:hover ul{display:block} ul.pureCssMenu a:hover ul ul{display:none} ul.pureCssMenu span{ display:block; background-image:url(./images/arrv_white.gif); background-position:right center; background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-right:9px;} ul.pureCssMenu ul span{background-image:url(./images/arr_black.gif)} ul.pureCssMenu ul li:hover > a span{ background-image:url(./images/arr_white.gif);} ul.pureCssMenu table a:hover span,ul.pureCssMenu table a:hover a:hover span{background-image:url(./images/arr_white.gif)} ul.pureCssMenu table a:hover table span{background-image:url(./images/arr_black.gif)} ul.pureCssMenu li.pureCssMenui0 { width:110px; height:23px; } ul.pureCssMenu li a.pureCssMenui0{ height:100%; background-image:url(./images/btn3.jpg); border-width:0px; font:normal 11px Tahoma; color:#fff; } ul.pureCssMenu li a.pureCssMenui0:hover{ background-image:url(./images/btn4.jpg); font:normal 11px Tahoma; color:#eee; } ul.pureCssMenum0 { background-color:transparent; border-width:0px; padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; } ul.pureCssMenum0>li>a { padding:8px 10px 0px 10px; } ul.pureCssMenum0 a { padding:8px 10px 0px 10px; } ul.pureCssMenum0 ul a { padding:2px 5px 5px 10px; } ul.pureCssMenum0>li { margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; } ul.pureCssMenum0 li { margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; } ul.pureCssMenum0 li li { margin:2px 0px 0px 2px; } </style> <!-- End PureCSSMenu.com STYLE --> And the html for the site is...

Menu by PureCSSMenu.com</a> <!-- End PureCSSMenu.com MENU --> <!-- (c) 2009, PureCSSMenu.com --> If anyone can help me make this 800px wide even if it means having a blank image at the end to fill any space and help removing any padding thats making it not appear full width it would be much appreciated. I have a vertical CSS menu using lists on my website. Everything looks ok when the page is first loaded but when I click on one of the menu items the left edge of the menu shifts to the left making the entire menu 10px wider. The div containung the menu has a left value of 10px but this seems to be ignored or overwritten when I click on a menu item. The right edge of the menu does not change. If I refresh the page it appears correctly again. Any ideas? Im relatively new to CSS and im trying to make a navigation menu. I've been able to gather some code from other tutorials and finally got one that works fine under firefox 3.5, Opera 9 and IE8. However i've been told that its not working properly under IE7. Can anyone tell me if theres a fix for this? i've searched around other tutorials but couldnt make sense of them (which is probably why the CSS is a bit messy). Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. link: users.tpg.com.au/tetsuo/css_help/index.html CSS: users.tpg.com.au/tetsuo/css_help/awis.css Hi folks. Long time lurker, first time poster. I've got some navigational menus that look great and work well in Firefox and Opera, but there are some odd issues in Internet Explorer. (I'm currently testing with IE7, but am fairly certain the same problems occur on IE6.) Interesting. The system won't let me put the URL in my post as I'm a new user, but this works... The URL for my test page is at a machine named www in the domain bobramstad.com and has the filename menu.html Just run that all together and you'll find the page OK. I'd cut and paste it here but I use a lot of whitespace and the file is kind of long, easier to hit the URL and view source it. For some unknown reason, under IE7, when I highlight any of the entries on the left which have submenus, the formatting of the main entry jumps around. It's odd. I have my own theories as to why this is happening, but frankly, none of them have panned out, or at least, I'm not sophisticated enough to hit on the right solution. FWIW, the current version of our home page uses an older mix of javascript and CSS which is not compatible with Safari or Opera and is also a bit clunky. Strangely, however, it looks fine in Firefox and IE, which might provide some clues as to what I'm doing wrong. I've been looking at this literally for three weeks, on and off, and have made some strides... the last problem is main menu jumping around when hover occurs... Any and all help gratefully received! -- Bob hey all, I have been working on a multilevel suckerfish menu tutorial and i have the following: http://www.wildhosting.co.uk/cssMenu/menu.php However, i am having a couple of final problems. 1) In FF the grey highlight colour does not seem to fill from top to bottom on the main menu. 2) In FF, When a sub menu (for the top option of the menu) appears the top border of the submenu overlaps the bottom border of the main menu. 3) In IE, the above are ok but the submenu appears a long way from where it should, ie 5cm to the right... any help would be great, thanks RF hi, Am nearly finished my first website but this issue won't go away and it's driving me crazy. www.leehughes.co.uk As you can see I have a drop down menu at the top. The problem is a couple of my friends have reported trouble trying to access the sub menus. They can hover over the main choice but when they move the mouse down to select a link the links disappear. it's not like they can not be selected though if you press ctrl and go down then they can be selected. Am so puzzled and so close to the end it's driving me crazy.. Hey, I have a drop down menu that when i view it in Internet Explorer is aligned fine but isnt working properly in firefox. I think the problem lies in the white spaces either side of the page. If the page fits the screen snug there isn't an alignment problem, this is better explained when viewing the site on different resolutions. I'm pretty sure the problem lies in the css but i don't know enough pinpoint it. I can't post the address on the forum because of the rules but its www northsidestageschool com (where spaces are dots). Sorry if this breaks rules but my problem really doesn't make any sense with out the link! Any ideas? Mike I'm having trouble with the drop down menu for my website and I know it just has to be an easy fix, but I can't figure it out! I've spent grueling hours on it and now I've probably just messed up the original code! The menu will not center, and if I get it to, either the entire background turns white, the background for the menu turns white, or something else goes wrong (mostly more IE problems). Any help would be great....it looks like I can't post a link to the site, nor can I post the enormous amount of code in here??? Can someone tell me how I can do either or simply direct you to my site? I'm not self-promoting it, I just need help! |
