CSS - Submenu Displays Incorrectly In Ie 6 & 7
I am attempting to put together a site with CSS navigation for the first time. Thanks to people much smarter than I, I've been able to stitch other's lessons into something almost workable.
THE PROBLEM I have a horizontal menu with a submenu. This submenu should also display horizontally. It does in FF, but not in either IE6 or IE7. In these browsers, it displays vertically. I have tried a lot of things and finally gave up. I validated my code and was given a pass. I've tried narrowing down the problem and have tried searching for the answer but I just can't figure it out. If needed, you can view the problem at www.foundationfitnesscenter.com/schedule (ignore the crappy header image, it's just there to show an idea for now). The CSS where I feel the problem must be: Code: #nav #schedule-sub, #nav #education-sub, #nav #classes-sub { display:none; width:90%; } body.classes #nav ul#classes-sub a, body.schedule #nav ul#schedule-sub a, body.education #nav ul#education-sub a { background-image:none; color:#3300FF; font-size:100%; font-weight:bold; line-height:10px; margin-right:4px; padding:2px 10px 2px 10px; text-decoration:none; } body.classes #nav ul#classes-sub, body.schedule #nav ul#schedule-sub { display:block; position:absolute; left:15px; top:95px; } body.education #nav ul#education-sub { display:block; position:absolute; left:175px; top:95px; } The HTML Code: <ul id="nav"> <li class="home-list"><a href="/index.php">Home</a></li> <li class="classes-list"><a href="../classes/">Classes</a> <ul id="classes-sub"> <li><a href="../classes/pilates.php">Pilates</a></li> <li><a href="../classes/dance.php">Dance</a></li> <li><a href="../classes/gyrokinesis.php">Gyrokinesis</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="schedule-list"><a href="../schedule/">Schedule</a> <ul id="schedule-sub"> <li><a href="../schedule/class-schedule">View All Classes</a></li> <li><a href="../schedule/enroll-private.php">Enroll - Private</a></li> <li><a href="../schedule/enroll-group.php">Enroll - Group</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="education-list"><a href="../education/">Education</a> <ul id="education-sub"> <li><a href="../education/pilates/">Pilates</a></li> <li><a href="../education/dance/">Dance</a></li> <li><a href="../education/gyrokinesis/">Gyrokinesis</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="about-list"><a href="../about/">About</a></li> <li class="contact-list"><a href="../contact/">Contact</a></li> </ul> Similar TutorialsMy page is displaying correctly in IE 6,7,8(CV), but when I view it in Firefox or Safari, it does not display correctly. The problem I'm having is the div #main is not stretching to allow room for the content in it. In IE it stretches fine, but in FF and Safari it doesn't stretch at all. I've been all over the internet searching but I can't find any similar problems/solutions. I've tried whatever I can think of or find. Can somebody please help me or point me in the right direction? Page: <div id="main"> //problem div <div id="sideBar"> <div id="header"> </div> </div> <div id="mainContent"> //contains content that I need to be stretched to the height </div> </div> CSS Code: html { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; } body { background-image: url(img/bg.png); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-color: #008A32; margin: 0; padding: 10px; border: 0; height: 100%; min-height: 100%; } #main { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding: 20px; position: relative; border: solid 1px #0C0; width: 760px; margin: 1px auto; background-color: #FFF; } #sideBar { width: 194px; float: left; clear: left; height: auto; min-height: 100%; } #header { width: 194px; height: 344px; clear: both; float: none; background-image: url(img/Logo01.png); } #mainContent { width: 546px; float: right; clear: right; height: auto; min-height: 100%; } Thanks in advance -Mike I did a site recently and Im having trouble finding what is causing this weird error. If you go to this gallery using firefox: http://www.mmimageart.com/fineart4.html you will notice that the thumbnails under "saguaro" will display wrongly.

Hi guys, Im hoping a CSS whizz can find an error in this code as I cannot for the life of me work out why content held in the 'main' div is appearing outside / overlapping the edge of the site design? It loads perfectly in Firefox Code: #wrap { width: 820px; background: #CCC url(content.jpg) repeat-y center top; margin: 0 auto; text-align: left; } #content-wrap { clear: both; width: 760px; padding: 0; margin: 10px auto; } /* Main Column */ #main { float: left; width: 70%; padding: 0; margin: 0 0 0 5px; display: inline; } Any help would be greatly appreciated I'm somewhat new to CSS, so excuse me if this post sounds noobish. The goal here is to make a simple 3 column layout with a header and a footer. For the most part, I've Googled around and I've got the basics of it down. But theres one problem - the far right column refuses to sit right below the header like it should. Its in its place horizontally - but vertically, it doesn't want to appear until the center column has ended. Heres the CSS I'm using - I hope you can infer what the IDs mean: Code: #header { background-color:#D7D7D7; color:#000000; padding:0; background-image:url(images/headerpng.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:top center; height:96px; border:2px solid black; width:100%; } #header h1 { padding:0; margin:0; } #leftnav { float:left; width:100px; padding:5px; margin:0px; text-align:center; font-family:Arial; } #centercontent { margin-left:110px; margin-top:5px; margin-right:150px; } #footer { clear:both; text-align:center; font-size:9px; color:#666666; } #rightnav { float:right; width:100px; padding:5px; margin:0px; text-align:center; font-family:Arial; } By the way, I know there are a few unnecessary properties in there, but I haven't cleaned this code up yet - just looking for the solution to my nesting problem. I am having some difficulty getting text to render how I want it. The page in question can be viewed he http://www.cbo4edu.org/who.html The column of text on the left is bolded for some reason and I want it match the text on the right (unbolded). I have setup an External style sheet and the only code I've applied to type is: PHP Code: .footer { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 8pt; } body,td,th { color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } body { background-color: #000000; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; The HTML code: PHP Code: <th colspan="4" rowspan="24" align="left" valign="top"><p>College Bound Opportunities (CBO) is a not-for-profit organization centered in the five communities within Deerfield and Highland Park High School District 113.

Jackson Hi, I've just joined these forums as I have a very annoying problem. I have created a webpage which I have checked using the w3c validator - it is valid for XHTML 1.0 Transitional and Strict. It is a simple design; Header 3 Cols Footer It works perfectly in IE7, however in FireFox (2.0.0.14) I am getting some very strange behaviour. On the first, clean load (cache cleared) the page is rendered incorrectly - the Middle and Right columns being rendered below the Left Column. If you then click on the address bar and press enter (thus reloading the page from the cache) it is rendered perfectly. If I clear the cache, go to the address bar, and press enter again it renders incorrectly. Pressing F5 to refresh (ignoring the cache) also results in it being rendered incorrectly. Correct: URL Incorrect: URL I thought it might have been image dimensions not being set - so I went through and set all these to no avail.

Thanks in advance, Dave. Hi there... I have a friend that wants me to help them out with the menu on their site. here is the link of the template they bought. uniquedealz dot com/2020 (I hope it's okay I did it like that?) Under "Product" I need to add 4 items then under one of those items/links I am adding 20 more items/links. I found out in the source code I need to use the ul code to create the actual names of the links but I am getting confused with the css class part. Any help would be great. Should I include the style.css and layout.css? Thank you Julie Okay, I have a navigation and one link, "SERVICES" has a sub-menu. The submenu looks good in Firefox, Safari, and Netscape for the Mac. Also Firefox for the PC, but not IE7 for the PC. Here's the site: http://www.caillouette.com/Villere_dynamic2/rentals.php Please rollover, "SERVICES" in IE.

This morning I discovered that Netscape 7 / Win does not properly render an a element with image content. My example demonstrates that both IE 6 / Win and Netscape 7 / Win both have issues rendering a elements with text content also. This seems like really basic stuff . . . how, HOW could Netscape 7 not be able to render the a with image content correctly??? (Another good question is why this forum doesn't allow you to upload HTML files . . . WTF?? -- you'll have to rename the file to .html) Hi , I followed this tutorials (http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/centered-dropdown-menus) and was successfully able to create a dynamic menu .

What should be the position of submenu div so that it will appear exactly below the respective parent menu. My parent menu div is #ParentMenu { z-index: 3; position: absolute; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left:0px; top: 42px; left: 45px; width: auto; text-align:Center; color:Black; } #SubMenu { color: red; z-index: 1; text-align:center; border:1px solid #333333; position:absolute; width:10%; float:left; } In this case,the sub menu appears immediate after the parent menu not below it. Please suggest what should be the position for SubMenu. Thanks. Please look at this page - http://www.rodstrans.com/menu.html When you place the mouse over "Services" you will see a nice little (imho) sub menu appear. I have it working well in IE7 & IE8 but there is a small glitch I need some help with. If you carefully place your mouse in the white space between the nav bar and the submenu the submenu disappears. I tried increasing the height of the li but unless I specify a background on the li the increased height does nothing. What I am after is I would like the submenu to be positioned about 5 pixels lower than where it is now, but this issue is preventing me from doing that. In other words, I want the submenu to be seperated from the main nav bar by about 10 pixels, but if I do that then this issue will really be a problem. Thanks. Tom Hello, I am having a small issue, and after about 10 hours of trying to fix it myself I am looking for help. The problem is when you hover over the Suckerfish menu and it expands, the first entry covers the parent item... I have temporary corrected this by adding the parent as a sub item so it appears to be OK... however I do not wish to keep it this way as I cannot set the submenu width to be the same until the submenu appears below the parent as it should. The site is www.DesolationWildernessVolunteers.org <-- I used the forum code to make this a click able link but for some reason it is not working.... CSS verifys however there is 3 errors in the XHTML that is a result of the template, and though I have tried to locate the errors I cannot find the correct file that is presenting them. I do not believe this is the source of the problem though. The css file controlling the menu is menu.css Code: /** IE bugs: a:link, a:visited, a:hover need to be styled as well; does not display separator... workaround? */ /** customize colors here */ a.mainlevel-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal, a.mainlevel_active-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal, a.mainlevel_current-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal, a.mainlevel-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal:link, a.mainlevel_active-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal:link, a.mainlevel_current-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal:link, a.mainlevel-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal:visited, a.mainlevel_active-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal:visited, a.mainlevel_current-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal:visited { /** background-color: red;
