Is theer any help available on the internet about this? Many thanks in advance, Stevo Similar TutorialsI got my css menu to work in Firefox and have it to show the way I want it to, but now in IE it just shows up as a list of course, the experienced people will no that by looking at the code which I hope you can help me out by fixing it, so here it is dont laugh. Code: ul#menu{ margin:0; padding:0; list-style-type:none; width:790px; display:block; height:40px; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:13px; background:transparent url("images/black.jpg") repeat-x top left; font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; } ul#menu li{ display:block; float:left; margin:0; pading:0; border-right:1px solid #ffffff; } ul#menu li a{ display:block; float:left; color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none; padding:12px 20px 0 20px; height:28px; } ul#menu li a:hover{ background:transparent url("images/blue.jpg") repeat-x top left; } Thank You the menu at the site I am building myself at: http://sphinxgaming.ath.cx/ Works perfectly in firefox, all links are missing on the menu in IE And the validator gives me some very strange errors (document type does not allow element "BODY", for example) http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...lidator%2F1.654 Any ideas? By the way, I have tried 3 different DOCTYPES, with no better results I'm starting to get a headache trying to figure out what the problem is with Firefox on this issue... A highlighted menu should drop down over the div beneath it. It works fine in Opera & IE, but Firefox gets moody about it. geekville.net Any ideas? Thanks! EDIT: Nevermind, I made it work. 2am is a good time to stop writing css. I am really stuck on this, can someone guide me to a tutorial or a working double row menu bar that works for both IE and Firefox. I have made several attempts on Spry and CSS but to no avail and no-one has been able to rectify it. Theres always something not going right on both browsers with the double row drop down menu bars I have attempted. The double row drop down menu bar looks like this: [menu1][menu2][menu3] [menu4][menu5][menu6] ............................[menu6a] ............................[menu6b] I have downloaded my fair share of drop down menus and have always had problems with understanding how it works and what adjustments move or alter what part of the menu. I experimented a bit and got it working on a Mac but it doesnt look right on a PC and vise versa. Is there a tutorial out there that is really descriptive on how it works and shows which adjustments alters what on the menu than just giving you a downloadable sample to play with. 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.

EDIT:: Simplier way to write the question ^.^ :: When I scroll off the menu/link onto the first link in the submenu it stays, but when I mvoe down to the next item in the submenu it disappears.

Also not sure if it's correct, but I can worry about that later. link: The Page Hi all, I've got a horizontal menu that is working just fine in every browser but IE 6 and 7. 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! I'm helping these fine folks fix a few little issues with their site but this one I can't seem to quite figure out. If you roll over the main menu you will see the sub menu slide down on the left. For the life of me I can't get it to line up under the main nav. I've tried many, many things. Can anyone provide a few hints, tips, suggestions?

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;

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.

Working on a project that has a custom ul w/ background images and sub menus the css currently in place works for all browsers except IE when using the IE developer tool, I can see all the applied styles for the items. For some reason IE is just randomly throwing in a padding-top from somewhere that's screwing up the alignment. There is NO source css file referenced or noted as to where it's coming from. As soon as it's removed, it display properly. I have explicitly set the style in the UL and the li to have the correct padding, but IE just seems to ignore them and throws in a padding of it's own. ANY IDEAS here? Anyone? Beuller? I have pulled my last hair so I come to you with a red face. these tags are in the head section Code: h3 {color: blue} pink {color: blue} In the body I have Code: <h3> what color is it? </h3><BR> <pink> it should be blue </pink> both lines print in blue on FF. IE6 shows h3 in blue but pink is plain, black text. Please embarass me with a simple answer. Thanks in advance, stujo Hi folks. 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. Hi all, I got my css layout to work in Opera, which is already an achievement for a newbie like me. But I'm facing some problems with FF and IE. First: in both the header image is gone Second: in IE the menu images are shown too wide resulting in a messed up menu Third: IE for some reason widens up the sidebar and content so the sidebar is shown below and also the footer is misplaced. I'm still trying to debug it myself but I don't seem to be able to solve them. my blog Any help or ideas are appreciated. Kind regards, Jef Hi I have a website which works fine in Firefox, but has problems in Internet Explorer. can someone please have a look and see what is wrong? the positioning of the Div boxes go wrong in IE, and also it seems like the site is scretched vertically. many thanks I've seen this type of nav bar on different websites and have tried to figure out how it's used, but I don't know what I'm looking for. An example is on the Twidroyd site (you can google it--as a new user I can't post links) The nav bar image is three bars stacked one on top of the other, where there are bars for inactive, active, and hover. I can't figure out how this works. Not necessarily asking for a detailed explanation, just what the technique is called so I can research it myself. Any help appreciated! |
