CSS - Ie List Item Width
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".
Similar TutorialsIs 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? 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. Hi I am creating a navigation bar using unsorted list and CSS. I have given my CSS and HTML code here Code: #navcontainer
{
width: 200px;
margin-top:150px;
}
#navcontainer ul#navlist
{
width:200px;
clear:left;
text-align:left;
margin-left:0;
padding-left:0;
list-style:none;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight:bold;
line-height: 14px;
}
#navcontainer ul#navlist li
{
margin-left:0;
padding: 0px;
display: block;
list-style:none;
border-bottom: 1px solid gray;
}
#navcontainer ul#navlist li.last
{
border-right: 0;
background:none;
}
a.linkText {
padding: 10px;
display: block;
color : #444444;
font-family : arial;
font-size : 11px;
font-weight : bold;
text-decoration : none;
height:25px;
}
a.linkText:link {
color : Aqua;
/* you can define other styles if necessary */
}
a.linkText:visited {
color : Maroon;
/* you can define other styles if necessary */
}
a.linkText:hover {
color : Blue;
}
</style>
</head>

The problem is, when I select the next list item, previously selected list item should come to the original color. Is there any way I can achieve this? Your guidence will be appreciated. Many thanks I have a list that I've created with the list-style-type being an image. For some reason, the space between the list-style-image and the list text differs in IE and Firefox. Has this happened to anyone else, or am I doing something incorrectly? Below is the code. The cell that these lists sit in has has an id of 'cellid'. Code:
#cellid {
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
}
#cellid ul {
margin: 10px 0 0 20px;
padding: 0 0;
}
#cellid li {
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
list-style-image: url(images/idxyellowlist.gif);
}
The ul has a margin of 20px on the left to line up with an element above it. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get around this space? Thanks, Brian I'm trying to use a simple background image to dress up my navigation tabs. When I set the <li> to a fixed with and height, both FF and IE ignore this; thus my graphic gets chopped off when the navigation tab is shorter than the graphic. I'm scratching my head and have tried just about everything. Here's How it is Presenting-Link to my Website Here's my css: Code: li.navbg {
width: 75px;
height: 20px;
display: inline;
margin-right: 5px;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
padding-left: 7px;
padding-right: 5px;
background-image: url(/images/navbg.png);
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: bottom center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
list-style: none;
background-color: #000;
}
My xhtml is a simple: Code: <li class="navbg">Navigation Title</li> My gratitude ahead of time! Hi all, and thanks for reading. The following code looks fine in Firefox, but has huge spaces between the images in IE 6. CSS: Code:
#menu {float:left; width:157px; background-color:#FFFFFF;}
#menu IMG {display:block; margin:0; padding:0;}
#menu UL {list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0; background-color:#FFFFFF;}
#menu UL LI {margin:0; padding:0;}

Thanks in advance. -colin Please look at the bottom of this page in FF - http://certified.tmhdesign.com The li elements have a margin-left or the ul a padding left. Can someone help me out? Here is my css ul#hp_offers{ width:600px; margin:0 0 0 10px; border:1px solid #e0e0e0; } ul#hp_offers li{ padding:3px 5px 3px 25px; border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0; list-style:none; list-style-type:none; margin:0; } li.even{ background: #f1efef url(../images/offer_even_bullet.gif) no-repeat 10px 7px; } li.odd{ background: #e0e0e0 url(../images/offer_odd_bullet.gif) no-repeat 10px 7px; } Of course, IE is being a P.I.T.A. I can't figure out why this is happening... but it's probably something so simple I'm overlooking it. I have a set of images and/or links set up as a list and the last item on the first row shifts down. After that row, everything looks fine. No problems on FF, Chrome and Safari (Mac). See this page for example and view with Explorer: www[dot]cameronstevens[dot]ca/gallery[dot]html Thanks I am having trouble with my navigation. it works fine in safari and firefox, but when i try it in IE for the PC the main navigational elements don't move. does anyone know why? www.iconiqdesigner.com thanks! I am really stumped -- I need to stack images on top of one another using an unordered list but I get a few pixels of whitespace at the bottom no matter what I do. I know this could be acheived using divs instead but I would like to figure it out using lists. I broke the code into as simple a form as possible and put it below. Removing everything between the </li> tag and the next <li> tag does not work. I tried adding "height: 20px;" under "#nav ul li" to force the images to stack on top of each other -- this works in Safari and Firefox but not in IE Windows. If I remove the DocType tag or switch it to xhtml transitional the images do stack in Safari but not in Firefox or IE. Am I missing something here or is this just not possible? Appreciate any help.

First of all, I hope this makes sense - I just spent two hours nonstop tweaking the navigation on my first client's site, and my brain and eyes are a bit frazzled. I have the navigation in a list, displayed horizontally in a Suckerfish dropdown. The container is elastic but the navigation is not; I want it to stick to the right side but move to the left when the browser is made narrower. Floating it to the right works perfectly.. But it reverses the order of my list items so that "Home" is to the far right instead of the left. Is there any way to reverse the order of the list items without touching the HTML? Going for full accessibility here, so I obviously don't want to reverse the item order in the HTML. I could probably figure this out on my own but it would take time, and like I said.. My brain is a little wonky right now Thanks in advance! I've been using CSS for a couple of days now, and am a bit stuck on how to change the main background image in the body when I hover over a menu item on the side bar. Changing the menu item background seemed easy enough. But, I suspect I am missing a key piece on how to get access to a body style from inside a list style. Here is the short section I am working on, with the full CSS file shown below that. This validates with a couple of warnings about my black on black color selection. I would certainly appreciate any help with this. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> <html> <head> <title>HOTWORKS</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="stylz.css" type="text/css"> </head> <body class="top" id="bdy" > <!-- Site navigation menu --> <ul class="navbar" id="navlist"> <li><a href="tools.html"><br>Tools</a> <li><a href="glass.html"><br>Glass <br> Artwork</a> <li><a href="pottery.html"><br>Ceramic<br> Artwork</a> <li><a href="about.html"><br>About</a> </ul> <!-- Main content --> <h1> </h1> <p> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> TOOLS - ART - MISCELLANEA <br> <address> </address> </body> </html> Code: #navlist a:hover {
color: #1e5ebd;
background:url("images/drawer4b.jpg") no-repeat;

background-position: 0px -10px;
color:#FF0000;
/* how do I do something like this
body.top { background-image: url(images/tabtool.jpg) ; }

}
Just to be complete, and in case there is something in here that you might need, here is the full css file: Code:

I would like the link colour to change and the background of the <li> to change as well. I can't figure out what CSS to use for it though. I have made bold and underlined the li I want to change on hover. Code: <li id="menuitem_2mainnav"> <a id="menulink_2mainnav" class="mainlevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=2">Meetings</a> <ul id="menulist_2mainnav"> <li id="menuitem_2_1mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_1mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=14">TEST 1</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_2mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_2mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=15">TEST 2</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_3mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_3mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=16">TEST 3</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_4mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_4mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=17">TEST 4</a></li> </ul> </li> I have tried: Code: #menulist_2mainnav li:hover{ color:#000000 !important; }
But it doesn't change the links text colour. 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. Hi, I have hit the "wall" in my knowledge of CSS while trying to implement a "flex-width-equal-height-sidebar-layout" style of layout as a skin/theme for a message board system and need some help. My trouble occurs when a direct link to the post is used (instead of following the menu navigation system) where the top menu information/links area (the area between the banner and the post) is chopped off... The relevant portion of the CSS seems to be the .col_wrap {margin-top: 10px; border: 0; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 100%; position: relative; z-index: 10; clear: both;} portion of my CSS because if I take out the overflow:hidden declaration then the menu portion of the skin/theme/layout shows correctly but the sidebar the shows the part which should be hidden at the bottom and the footer completely vanishes from view! My apologies but this is the best I can do without having the ability to post pics or urls which could better explain what is wrong and frankly speaking I don't know how anyone here can help given my inability to show the problem but hopefully someone knows or has run into this problem before or can offer some resources that may be of assistance.... 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 have an absolutely positioned <div> containing a block of text. I have not specified a width for this <div>. This <div> is nested within another <div> for which I have specified a width of 200px. So something like: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> <div style="position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 20px; z-index: 100;"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Curabitur eu purus a tellus mollis consequat. Phasellus aliquam sapien quis mauris. </div> </div> <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> Since the absolutely positioned <div> is not part of the page's normal flow, I would expect that its width would expand according to its contents (and the browser window's boundries). Instead, in Firefox only, the width of the absolutely positioned <div> expands only to the width of its parent - in this case 200px. Am I doing something wrong? or is there a workaround for this? I have seen a design which I find pretty interesting where in the main site is aligned left and fixed width at say 700px wide. Yet the footer seems to span the entire screen. The header also seems to use the entire screen width but that is beign accomplished with the background image, but this footer goes all the way to end of the screen and naturally adjusts itself under all the content. Is there a way to get this effect? I'm at the very very very begaining of a table-less design (my first, actually). The problem is, since I have decided to have a non-fixed width, when the browser is minimized, at a certain point the design breaks. See it here (please don't make fun! it's just the start): SiliconSatan.com/test.php I'd like to set a minimum width, probably on the container <div>, so at a certain point it sort of becomes like a fixed width? No smaller than a set width? [EDIT] Also, I have a question about background color mismatch, but it was not quite OT for the CSS forum: http://forums.devshed.com/web-desig...e7t-403266.html |
