CSS - Navigation Out Of Position
Please look at this page in IE, http://www.atramember.com then in Firefox. THe navigation up at the top is all messed up and I can't figure out why (messed up in FF). Thanks. Tom
Similar TutorialsHi devshed, First post here so I hope someone wouldn't mind giving me some help with a layout problem I'm having which I think is probably CSS related. The navbar div should be at the top of the maincontent div and to the right of the sidebar div with no gaps. I can get the desired results in FF but in IE there is a whitespace gap between the top of maincontent and navbar divs. Unfortunately I don't have it online yet to show you because I need to upgrade my hosting package first. If anyone can spare a few minutes and make any suggestions I would be very grateful. Many Thanks Jez HTML: Code:

padding: 10px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
}
/* Tips for sidebar1:
1. Since we are working in relative units, it's best not to use padding on the sidebar. It will be added to the overall width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
2. Since em units are used for the sidebar value, be aware that its width will vary with different default text sizes.
3. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the ".twoColHybLtHdr #sidebar1 p" rule.
*/
.twoColHybLtHdr #sidebar1 {
float: left;
width: 12em; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */
background: #EBEBEB; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
padding: 15px 0; /* top and bottom padding create visual space within this div */
}
.twoColHybLtHdr #sidebar1 h3, .twoColHybLtHdr #sidebar1 p {
margin-left: 10px; /* the left and right margin should be given to every element that will be placed in the side columns */
margin-right: 10px;
}
/* Tips for mainContent:
1. The space between the mainContent and sidebar1 is created with the left margin on the mainContent div. No matter how much content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain. You can remove this left margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1 ends.
2. Be aware it is possible to cause float drop (the dropping of the non-floated mainContent area below the sidebar) if an element wider than it can contain is placed within the mainContent div. WIth a hybrid layout (percentage-based overall width with em-based sidebar), it may not be possible to calculate the exact width available. If the user's text size is larger than average, you will have a wider sidebar div and thus, less room in the mainContent div. You should be aware of this limitation - especially if the client is adding content with Contribute.
3. In the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This may help avoid several IE-specific bugs.

Hi, My side navigation seems to be moving down when main content is added to a page for some reason, any ideas why and how i can fix this: Thanks, Mike ------- Thanks fixed! I'm trying to create a tiered vertical navigation menu and I'm nearly there. Everything works correctly in FF but in IE the background-position property on the current menu item fails to position the bullet image. Removing the property displays it but at the margin which is set to 0px. I'm not that savvy with CSS so if there's a better approach to this I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for your help! Open in FF to see how it's supposed to work: Open in IE to see problem. Here's the HTML Code:
<div id="Menu">
<div id="nav_header">
<div id="text">

Hi All, I am building a site that has the following structure for the navigation; Code:
<div id="navigation">
<ul id="navlist">
<li class="home"><a href="../index.asp" title="home"><span>home</span></a></li>
<li class="aboutus"><a href="../aboutus.htm" title="aboout us"><span>about us</span></a></li>
<li class="ourservices"><a href="../ourservices.htm" title="our services"><span>our services</span></a>
<ul>
<li class="internationalmail"><a href="ourservices_internationalmail.htm" title="international mail"><span>international mail</span></a></li>
<li class="worldwidecourier"><a href="ourservices_worldwidecourier.htm" title="worldwide courier"><span>worldwide courier</span></a></li>
<li class="worldwidefreight"><a href="ourservices_worldwidefreight.htm" title="worldwide freight"><span>worldwide freight</span></a></li>
<li class="storage"><a href="ourservices_storage.htm" title="storage"><span>storage</span></a></li>
<li class="publishingservices"><a href="ourservices_publishingservices.htm" title="publishing services"><span>publishing services</span></a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="requestquote"><a href="../requestquote.htm" title="request a quote"><span>request a quote</span></a></li>
<li class="contactus"><a href="../contactus.htm" title="contact us"><span>contact us</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
The main LI is horizontal, and the containing UL, LI is a vertical dropdown. The seperate CSS file does the image replacements on the <a> and hides the text within the <span>, usual stuff. The nav works great, with the graphic rollovers etc. The rollover, again, standard way of doing it, background: url(<FILE>) no-repeat top left; and the a:hover rollover is a background: bottom left;. Edit: Just noticed that I can't link to the full site that I have uploaded for preview. What I want to do, is when the user roll's over any of the items within the sub-navigation, it keeps the main Services navigation link rolled over also. The only way I could think of doing this, and relatively simply, would be to use JavaScript, but wanted to explore any other CSS ways of doing this. For example, is it possible to change a style of another class, from another? Your help would be much appreciated! I have having issues with IE displaying my page wrong. The page is http://]http://tampabay-online.org/cetr/about.php (or any page within that site) and the css can be found at http://tampabay-online.org/cetr/cetr.css It displays fine in Firefox and Opera but IE makes the content class lower from the top than the #right navigation bar (they should both be 20 pixels form the top) Any help much appreciated. Code: .content {
position:relative;
width:320px;
margin-left: 125px;
margin-top: 20px;
border:1px solid black;
background-color:white;
padding:10px;
z-index:3;
}
#right {
position:absolute;
width:200px;
top:20px;
left:500px;
border:1px solid black;
background-color:white;
padding:10px;
z-index:1;
}
I'm pretty new to CSS, but I've managed to put together a website based from a psd, that validates and everything has gone well. My menu, however, is pretty shoddy. I have everything positioned the way I want it, but what I want to do is convert the lists inside from dropping down to being horizontal parallell to the nav bar itself. From: --- --- --- --- | | To: _ _ _ --- --- --- --- The site is here. Ignore the issues with the absolute positioning; its because of the ads at the top, and it doesn't affect the nav bar. I am desperatefor some help, it is ridiculous to figure out. Anyone who can help me, I would be crazy grateful.

I have a nice little vertical navigation block that I would like to use in multiple pages within the same website. I would like to use the nav block without repeating the code, but I can't figure out how to do it. I have put the code in navigation.htm. What do I do next? Hello, I'm new to the forum and not very good with CSS yet. I'm slowly moving from tables to CSS. I set up a sample page to describe the problem I'm having but the forum won't allow me to post the URL here. I have a vertical CSS "LI" navigation section in the left hand sidebar of this web page and it works perfectly in every Mac browser I try it on (very latest Mac versions of Opera, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Camino, Omniweb, etc.). There's a white, 1-pixel horizontal spacer/separator line between each link in the left sidebar which is supposed to be 220 pixels wide. It is 220 pixels wide on all the Mac browsers I try it on but for some reason, as soon as I try the web page in IE 7 or IE 8, the white horizontal 1-pixel divider line is shorter and ends up being only 195 pixels wide and throws the whole, nice and "even" look off. I don't understand where the 25 pixels are disappearing to in IE 7 and IE 8. Can anyone offer any insight as to what the fix may be or what I've done wrong? Below is the code I've used to create the navigation. Thanks so much. HTML Code: Code: <div id="navcontainer"> <ul id="navlist"> <li id="active"><a href="#" id="current">Home</A></li> <li><a href="#">On To Page 2</A></li> <li><a href="#">On To Page 3</A></li> <li><a href="#">On To Page 4</A></li> <li><a href="#">On To Page 5</A></li> </ul> </div> CSS Code: Code: #navlist {
padding-left: 25px;
margin-left: 0;
width: 220px;
}
#navlist li {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0.25em;
border-top: 1px solid white;
}
#navlist li a {
background: transparent url(../images/list_off.gif) left center no-repeat;
padding-left: 15px;
text-align: left;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #277eb1;
text-decoration: none;
line-height: 30px;
}
#navcontainer ul li a:hover {
background: transparent url(../images/list_on.gif) left center no-repeat;
color: #da251c;
}
#navcontainer ul li a#current {
background: transparent url(../images/list_active.gif) left center no-repeat;
color: #999999;
}
How is this navigation done on the top of the page? I looked at the CSS and all the javascript. I can't see how the drop down is created? I tried to replicate it and copied the background images. I can get the menu to show and rollovers work. Just the drop down won't work. http://jmadvertising.com/ hi, i was wondering if anyone knw any links to ultra super dooper cool websites for css navigations. I want to learn how to do ace ones. I have already googleed about, I found the sliding doors on ALA an stuff but i need that little bit more cool tutorials prefrably!! I did find one cool one athttp://www.bulkherbstore.com/ thanks tom. Hey guys I am currently having an issue with a CSS Navigation. I was wondering if anyone was available to help me out. http://schoolwide.sgajewski.com/menu/ I am currently having an issue with IE 7. It seems to be working in every other browser but the second level of the navigation is offset lower in IE7. The spacing starts off 1 pixel two low and progressively the gap gets wider. Code:
ul.vertical, ul.vertical li {

Any help on why this is offset in IE7 would be great. Thanks in advance. Hello. So I'm trying to make my html more semantic, so I'm trying to avoid divs and spans as much as possible. I'm trying to make an unordered list navigation, but it shows up really choppy in IE7. However, the moment I change it from <ul id="navigation"> to <div id="navigation">, it works perfectly. Just for semantics sake I'd like to see if I could keep the ul working. Here's the html code, it validates xhtml strict so you don't have to worry about that.

I.E. the relative/absolute positions. I am creating a site with 1 banner and 2 columns underneath, all centered. The 2nd column I want to be right beside the left coumn. so it simply goes like So depending on where left is on the page, the main is always literally right beside it. Anyone have any suggested reads on this? How to make div stick to top of a page and align center The Problem: I want my logo (a gif image) to justify to the left but padding centers it. Is there a way to NOT pad one "cell" in an inline navigation bar using css without affecting the rest which follow (which are padded)? Please email me for urls to see exactly what I'm working with. Many thanks in advance! I have a navigation bar similar to the one on this site. I want whatever current button that is clicked on to be a different color just like the site I linked. I thought this was done using the a:active tag but it doesn't seem to be working. It quickly changes back to whatever the default a tag specifies. Is there a trick to this? Thanks in advance. I have a menu, click he http://progra.ro/demomenu/ This menu not appear correctly in Internet Explorer 6 due to "SPAN" element. Anyone know how to fix this problem leaving the span element intact in HTML ? All browser show the menu correctly, except IE6.Thanks! Hi I am having a nightmare trying to get my horizontal navigation items to fill the width of my page and looking the same in IE and FF. Here is the page http://www.designhomemanagement.com/new/ You will see that in IE the spacing is different. They need to fill the width of the design (760px) Please someone help me! Thanks |
