CSS - How To Make A Fixed Horizontal Top Menu?
Newb alert! I'm not sure if CSS is the way to do what I want or not, but I'm guessing it is.
I want a horizontal menu (header) across the top that does not move. The page below should be able to scroll but when it pass under the menu it should disappear. You can probably tell I'm trying to eliminate using frames for menus in an application I work on. I've seen a lot of using position:fixed which won't work in IE, which it has to of course. Is this possible? If so, is it CSS? It's not homework so you can just point me in the right direction. :-) Similar TutorialsHi folks, I'm working on a website at the moment and having some issues 'fixing it' for Internet Explorer. The design scrolls horizontally, and using 'position:fixed;' on certain elements keeps them on the page while the rest scrolls - this works fine in Safari / Camino / Firefox etc. but as we know position:fixed; is broken in IE. I tried applying the fix found at http://web.tampabay.rr.com/bmerkey/...tion-fixed.html but this only seems to work for regular vertical scrolling pages - when scrolled horizontally the "fixed" elements still scroll with the page. Is there any way possible to get this to work? I really really want to avoid any of those javascript "jumpy" scripts to reposition the element all the time. Thanks all. 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! 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;

Hi Guys, I have a layout which is currently setup to be liquid. Aka it spreads out depending on how big the browser window is. I'm trying to get it to be a set width. I can't quite get it figured out. Here is the link to the current layout (made to be generic). It's a layout I got from a CCS class. http://65.175.116.253/design/demo.html The css is here http://65.175.116.253/design/css.css The entire package can be downloaded here http://65.175.116.253/design/design.rar Now, to explain how I want it to look, I took my browser and made it just wide enough to show how wide I want the layout to be, and took a screenshot. But I can't get my css to make the whole layout that wide.. I'm scracthing my head here because it's probably really easy. http://65.175.116.253/design/demo.jpg Let's not worry about the exact width, but I want to define in the css the pixel width, so that can be changed whenever. Here is the CSS Code: /*--- Generic Styles ---*/

I want to wrap a few items in a container and have them laid out horzontal and not flow vertically. suggestions ? Hi all, I've got a site which you have to scroll horizontally to view the content (different eh?), but I want the menu to stay in a fixed position on the left side of the screen. Can anyone tell me if/how I can do this? Cheers! I have seen this done but can't find any examples at the moment, but what I am looking to emmulate is have a page that required vertical scrolling. On either the left or right hand side is (for example) a square image and directly below it is a menu. When the user scrolls down the page the image goes off the top but the menu sticks to the top so is always visable. When the user scrolls back up as soon as the image starts to appear it pushes the menu back down so it is sat below the image. If i used position:fixed I can keep the menu in the same place when scrolling but I would like it to rise to the top of the browser when space is availble when scrolling. Make sense? Hello, How can i create a fixed-width menu to the left with content to the right that fills up the rest of the page. ie, no auto-width, it needs to fill up all the way to the right edge. So if you create a horizontal line <hr> in the content it will draw all the way to the right (except for some padding of course) Like this pictu tinyurl.com/ydsr2ov Has anyone created a CSS horizontal fly-out menu list? I have a 3 level navigation list. The level 1 has 5 items, the first item of which has no sub-list. How can I get the level 2 and 3 lists to fly-out at the same level as its parent item? I am trying to create a navigation menu for a page using images i have sliced in photoshop and I now need to put the images all on a 900px wide line and link them to the appropiate pages. When i put the images next to each other i end up with a gap. The only way I have found to solve the problem is to leave the img src all on the same line. I'm sure this isn't the best way to do it and it is throwing out the div below. Ideas anyone? Code: Code: Original - Code <div id="nav"> <img id="home" src="images/menu/home.gif" alt="" /><img id="about" src="images/menu/about.gif" alt="" /><img id="wedding" src="images/menu/wedding.gif" alt="" /><img id="corporate" src="images/menu/corporate.gif" alt="" /><img id="occasions" src="images/menu/occasions.gif" alt="" /><img id="contact" src="images/menu/contact.gif" alt="" /> </div> <div id="nav"> <img id="home" src="images/menu/home.gif" alt="" /><img id="about" src="images/menu/about.gif" alt="" /><img id="wedding" src="images/menu/wedding.gif" alt="" /><img id="corporate" src="images/menu/corporate.gif" alt="" /><img id="occasions" src="images/menu/occasions.gif" alt="" /><img id="contact" src="images/menu/contact.gif" alt="" /> </div> Jake what i want as horizontal fly out menu BUT I want the list of items to appear horizontally in a line below. These menus have the items appear vertically from a horizontal menu i looked at these and could find one http://www.cssdrive.com/index.php/menudesigns/category/C20/ Hi, I have the following menu that is currently laid out with a table: http://www.ianarmstrong.com/menutest/ I want to switch this to be styled in CSS somehow. I've looked at using a styled unordered list to do this, but that doesn't seem like the best idea as each image in my menu is different. Thus I can't have 5 different <li> elements, each with a different bg image. I need a way to handle the 5 different images, and have a mouseover effect as well. Could someone offer some direction on this problem? I have a horizonatal menu on my webise and the list items that drop down, are all jumbled into a single block of text. How do I create a new line fore each list item? I've tried the tutorials on CSS menus but can't seem to get it to work right for my project. I want a spacer to seperate the buttons at 1 pixels wide but currently it's about 10 pixels wide. I've adjusted until i'm blue in the face can somebody help? The code is below: Code:

Many thanks... Hi I am haveing some trouble implimenting a sub menu on some of my pages. I want to have a menu that mirrors the titles rounded edges by placing a graphic at either end of the menu with the text set in the centre. So far i can produce the title no problem but the menu is proving a little more tricky. Example page with the issues My css: Code:
#services-menu ul{
margin :0;
white-space :nowrap;
color: #FFFFFF;
line-height: 30px;
height: 30px;
padding: 0px;
background-image: url(/graphics/service_menu_back.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
#services-menu ul li{
display : inline;
}
#services-menu ul li a{
color:#FFFFFF;
text-decoration:none;
margin: 0px;
padding-left: 4px;
}
#services-menu ul li.services_menu_right {
background-image: url(/graphics/services_menu_right.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right top;
height: 30px;
float: right;
width: 10px;
}
#services-menu ul li.services_menu_left {
background-image: url(/graphics/service_menu_left.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
height: 30px;
float: left;
width: 10px;
}
My HTML is: Code: <div id="services-menu">
<ul>
<li class="services_menu_left"></li>
<li><a href="/index.html">Assets</a></li>
<li><a href="/pages/company.html" target="_self">Risk</a></li>
<li><a href="/pages/services.html" target="_self">Surveillance</a></li>
<li><a href="/pages/humanitarian.html">Counter Terrorism</a></li>
<li><a href="/pages/forms/procure.php" target="_self">Close Protection</a></li>
<li><a href="/pages/forms/recruit.php" target="_self">Contingencey</a></li>
<li><a href="/pages/forms/contact.php" target="_self">Training</a></li>
<li class="services_menu_right"></li>
</ul>
</div>
Ps - i have tried producing the menu in the same way as i have made the title but the right hand graphic continues to drop down a line. ANY IDEAS - I'M REALLY STUCK NOW!!!! |
