CSS - Ff Vs Ie For Menu Background
Once again, Firefox displays my code correctly and IE does not. I wasn't going to bother working on it further if IE 7 displayed it correctly, but it does not either.
Here's my menu. The HTML code is CMS generated, but I have taken out the links. http://www.jimandkris.com/menuoutput.html The problem is within the submenu background as shown he I found this fix on the PIE site, but it just made it worse, not better. Can anyone suggest an IE hack to me to fix this? Similar TutorialsHi Hoping someone might be able to help me. I'm working on a site but i can't for the life of me figure out how to get the background color to show. They sent me the index page and the two css style sheets for it. I can get the menu to do anything i want except the red background bar to show up. Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any help MsKazza This is the menu on the index page Code: <div id="menu"> <ul> <li class="active"><a href="index.html">home</a></li> <li><a href="design.html">design</a></li> <li><a href="printing.html">printing</a></li> <li><a href="websites.html">websites</a></li> <li><a href="marketing.html">marketing</a></li> <li><a href="prepress.html">prepress</a></li> <li><a href="contact.asp">contact</a></li> <li><a href="clients.html">clients</a></li> <li><a href="links.html">links</a></li> <li><a href="login.html">login</a></li> </ul> </div> this is the related css: Code: /* Menu */ #menu { width: 802px; height: 45px; margin: 0 auto; border-right: 1px solid #EDEBD5; } #menu ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; } #menu li { display: inline; } #menu a { display: block; float: left; width: 79px; height: 28px; border-left: 1px solid #EDEBD5; text-transform: lowercase; text-decoration: none; text-align: center; font-size: 1.2em; color: #FFFFFF; vertical-align: middle; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding-top: 15px; padding-right: 0; padding-bottom: 0; padding-left: 0; } #menu a:hover { background: #F7F7F4; color: #990000; } #menu .active a { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #600000; } Hey Guys, I have validated both my html and css. The only errors that come back for my css is that I have the same colour background and whatnot. BUT that's what I want. So there aren't really errors. Here is my page: jacenta.com/whichsbc What I have been attempting to achieve and been utterly failing is: If you goto the menu on the side and hover over you will see a light grey background show up. Basically I want that to extend to ethier ends of the box. Is there anyway for this to be done??? I've tried everything and I just can't seem to figure this one out. A good example of what I am looking for is in my drop down menu at the top when you select a heading and a dropdown comes down, hover over an item and a light blue background will show up. It's probally something simple... I know. But ahh. It's just so frusterating! If someone could help me out I would apperciate it so much! You all are such a great help. - Jacenta Hi: I am having some problems getting the background image of a drop-down menu to do what I want. The drop-down menus have different lengths, and I have a gradient image which I would like to have repeat across (repeat-x) but on the y-axis, I want it to be scaled to fit the menu height which differs from drop-down to drop-down. I have the following code in my CSS file. Code: transparent url(../images/style1/submenu_bg.png) repeat-x 0 bottom I cannot figure out how to have the image scale on the y-axis. Any assistance would be appreciated. I've tried everything, with no luck. It's pointing to the right address, the css is loading. Why does the image not appear? div#main_menu { float: left; clear: both; width: 100%; height: 73px; background-image: url (images/button-banner.png) no-repeat; } div#main_menu ul { float: left; list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; } div#main_menu ul li { float: left; height: 73px; margin: 0 15px; } div#main_menu ul li a { color: #7A5A46; float: left; margin-top: 17px; text-decoration: none; text-align: center; HTML: <div id="main_menu"> <ul> <li><a class="" href="#">Menu<br/></a></li> <li><a class="" href="/ordering/">Ordering Info<br/></a></li> <li><a class="" href="/photos/">Photos<br/></a></li> <li><a class="" href="/blog/">Blog<br/></a></li> <li><a class="" href="/about/">About Me<br/></a></li> <li><a class="" href="/contact/">Contact Info<br/></a></li> } I have a fairly simple page that is composes of a header and two cols. The left hand col is the menu which I would like to use with background images but these seem not to work. Any advice is appreciated.

I am NOT looking for one long image with my entire menu in image format. I want a three-part background image/sprite like the one I posted above that is used as the background/hover/active by repeating it on the x-axis. I have tried for a long time to get this working but have not been able to. Please help me out. I have a div with a background color set, that I want to have slightly transparent. Inside that div, is essentially my entire website. Now if I apply the opacity to the main outer div, all the divs inside inherit that transparency. Any ways to get around this? The outer Div with the transparency is the "content_wrapper" div. It excludes the header and footer. So the only issue is correcting everything wrapped inside the "content_wrapper" and "content" div. I tried setting the "content" div to opacity: 1; but it had no effect whatsoever. http://www.area51entertainment.co/index.php?about So I have a design where the background is a large (1400x1100) image that fades into a vertical gradient at the edges. I've set up the css as follows: body { background: #000 url(gradient.jpg) repeat-x; margin: 0; } Here's where I run into my problem... I've created an empty DIV to hold the large image which will appear on top of the gradient and positioned it absolutely. <div id="bg_image"></div> #bg_image { width: 100%; height: 1100px; background: url(images/bg_image.jpg) no-repeat top center; margin: 0; position:absolute; } This works and the background looks like it should, however because the large image is inside a DIV, any time the browser window is smaller than that div (which will be the case for most users considering the image size) there will be scrollbars. This makes perfect sense of course I just can't come up with an alternative. If there was a way to extend a background image beyond the borders of a DIV that would work but overflow:visible; doesn't seem to work with background images only content. I wish I could set a repeating background AND a static background in the body style, because that is exactly the effect I'm trying to achieve. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Josh The layout I have going is a bit difficult to explain. Here's a diagram.. The area of importance is the header. The content and main head area are centered. The area to the left and right of the header are a <div>. However, as you can see, the background image on the left is different than the one on the right. I'm having difficulty making this work. the images can be stretched horizontally without a problem, but the two sides must meet in the middle beneath the header. I hope this makes sense. What I've got to do, I think, is tell the background image of the underlying <div> to stretch to 100%, and make this image 300px wide or so including both sides of the image and a split. The split would hide behind the header. I can't find a method to stretch the background image, though. Does anybody know of a better way, or a way to achieve this method at all without getting into completely different layouts? Thanks in advance for any assistance/suggestions. Following sample is from http://www.code-couch.com/jeff/snippets/general/tektips-navigation-example.html is what I am trying to reference to create a template. But how do I how keep the state of Menu on each requested page any help is appreciated. The following menu is saved in a separate jsp file i.e. navs.jsp. I include this navigation jsp file in all of my files. Initially the drop down looks like: Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [+] Google.com . [+] Yahoo.com Now clicking [+] in front of Google.com will look like. Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [-] Google.com . Google.co.ie . Google.co.ie . [+] Google.co.nz . [+] Yahoo.com Lets's say now if I click on Google.co.ie it takes me to sample.jsp and on this requested page (sample.jsp) how can I show the following menu hierarchy with Google.co.ie bold/underlined/colorchanged showing what menu content I clicked and am viewing the appropriate content i.e. Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [-] Google.com . Google.co.ie . Google.co.ie . [+] Google.co.nz . [+] Yahoo.com Same way clicking Google.com or Yahoo.com or Ask.Jeeves shows you the following hierarchy on the requested page with higlight/bold/colored the link we just selected. i.e. Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [+] Google.com . [+] Yahoo.com Any time clicking on the menu takes me to some page but on that page I want to show th hierarchy of the menu all the way to which is recently clicked with different color setting.

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.

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! Ok, I know virtually nothing about css, but realized that that a css menu is better for SEO. 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? I have been trying a bunch of things but it just looks awful and doesn't work right. It has 3 basic componets; Html, Javascript, and css. Here they are below. drop_down.js: Code: // JavaScript Document startList = function() { if (document.all&&document.getElementById) { navRoot = document.getElementById("nav"); for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) { node = navRoot.childNodes[i]; if (node.nodeName=="LI") { node.onmouseover=function() { this.className+=" over"; } node.onmouseout=function() { this.className=this.className.replace(" over", ""); } } } } } window.onload=startList; HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Horizontal Drop Down Menus</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="drop_down.js"></script> <style type="text/css"> @import "style2.css"; </style> </head> <body> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">About</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">History</a></li> <li><a href="#">Team</a></li> <li><a href="#">Offices</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Services</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Web Design</a></li> <li><a href="#">Internet Marketing</a></li> <li><a href="#">Hosting</a></li> <li><a href="#">Domain Names</a></li> <li><a href="#">Broadband</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Contact Us</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">United Kingdom</a></li> <li><a href="#">France</a></li> <li><a href="#">USA</a></li> <li><a href="#">Australia</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </body> </html> Style2.CSS: Code: body { font: normal 11px verdana; } ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; width: 150px; /* Width of Menu Items */ border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; } ul li { position: relative; } li ul { position: absolute; left: 149px; /* Set 1px less than menu width */ top: 0; display: none; } /* Styles for Menu Items */ ul li a { display: block; text-decoration: none; color: #777; background: #fff; /* IE6 Bug */ padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 0; } /* Fix IE.

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. I'm using the suggestions of those on here and using the http://www.dynamicsitesolutions.com...2/#relatedLinks menu (I'm a little confused over what the differences are but that's the least of my problems) What I want is a 2nd level drop down menu, but I'm clueless on how to go about it..??? I working on a CSS to display a round-shouldered-tab menu. 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. |
