CSS - Pure Css Drop Down Menu Trouble
Hello. After days of searching, I have found my ideal menu system. I am trying to mimic it with some minor changes, due to the layout I already have for my website. I think the biggest problem is the fact that my second level drop down menu needs to be contained inside my first level menu boxes. These boxes also expand based on screen width.
Here is the barebones version of Stu Nicholl's 'Simple Drop Down Menu': Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

padding:0;
margin:0;
}
/* make the top level links horizontal and position relative so that we can position the sub level */
.menu li{
float:left;
position:relative;
z-index:100;
}
/* use the table to position the dropdown list */
.menu table{
position:absolute;
border-collapse:collapse;
z-index:80;
left:-1px;
top:25px;
}
/* style all the links */
.menu a, .menu :visited {
display:block;
font-size:10px;
width:149px;
padding:7px 0;
color:#000;
background:#949e7c;
text-decoration:none;
margin-right:1px;
text-align:center;
}
/* style the links hover */
.menu :hover{
color:#444;
background:#d4d8bd;
}
/* hide the sub level links */
.menu ul ul {
visibility:hidden;
position:absolute;
width:149px;
height:0;
}
/* make the sub level visible on hover list or link */
.menu ul li:hover ul,
.menu ul a:hover ul{
visibility:visible;

Sorry for the lengthy code, but it was the simplest way to explain my exact situation. Thanks for any help you can give me! Similar TutorialsI've created my first attempt at a pure CSS drop-down menu using an AlistApart article as a guide. It works great in Firefox, but in IE the menu's are reloading the background image and the list bullet images each time you move to a new link in the drop down. The page is here Any ideas? Here is the CSS for the Menu (not cleaned up so pardon it's rag-tagness): Code: ul {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
}
/* First Level */
li {
float: left;
position: relative;
width: 10em;
}
li#first {
border-left-width: 2px;
}
li#last {
border-right-width: 2px;
}
/* Second Level -- Drop Downs */
li ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
background: url(../images/backgroundvert.gif) bottom left no-repeat;
padding: 3px 0 3px 8px;
border-right: solid 1px #777777;
}
/* Reset for all non-IE Browswers*/
li > ul {
top: auto;
left: auto;
}
/* Show Second Level when First Level is Rolled Over */
li:hover ul, li.over ul{ display: block; }

Hi guys, Say I have a verticle menu, down the left hand side of my site. I want it so when you hover over each link, there are additional links that fly out to the right - of course you got that by the thread name. However, I'm having a bit of trouble, I don't know where to start really as many of the tutorials found are flawed in one way or another (that i've found). Some manage to push the rest of the nav links under it down, so basically Im asking how do I manage to create a nav where the fly out menu manages to 'stick' at the top of all content (to the right and the links under), pure CSS. Any additional tips on how to do this would be brilliant. Thanks in advance, Joe. I searched on google so that to build a pure CSS drop down menu. I have successfully followed some of the tutorials. However I always get stuck in some place or another. I have tried another attempt to do this but I am not getting the wanted results. Basically I want to make the drop down menu work on IE6, IE7 and FireFox. The first problem I face on IE7 is that the menu is not always displayed where I want it (under the link element) and on FireFox it is displayed ON it and not under it. The following is the code.

I am at a lost on how I can do this. If anyone knows of any good tutorials please let me know. I do not want to waist anyones time, however the tutorials I found were not that good. Thanks for any Replies, Regards, Sim085 Hi guys, I recently learned about pure css drop down menus. Now if you look at my site in FF, and IE, you see in IE, it just doesn't display correctly. Why is this? Tips on fixing this? www.projectfinalfantasy.com Regards, Joseph Man. Hi folks Looking for a pure css dropdown menu to replace my dhtml one, I do very much like the Adx menu, as compared with suckerfish, for reasons which include: covers select and flash items on the page can colorise the hover background color right across the menu, giving a sense of link hierarchy on a narrow page, the final menu will double back on itself, and also reposition itself vertically if needed I've managed to solve one issue that their code did not seem to, if anyone is interested - removing the space between li items which IE creates - feel free to use the code he http://ied.gospelcom.net/adxmenustest2.html (I've just chosen some garish colors for the moment, so I can see what is going on.) One thing I want to do is add drop shadows. Right hand is OK - just a background image. To achieve a bottom drop shadow, I've added a small li item with a background image. Problem is, adding this extra li item at the end of each menu extends the length of the UL container, considerably more than is needed. In FF, it looks OK, (though there are a few unnecessary pixels above the shadow li item, but in IE, it extends way down below where the drop shadow li item is! Any ideas for removing this extra depth, ie pushing the ul border up, or another way of putting in a drop shadow. I have tried other things as well as an end li item, but the effect is the same! I suppose I could cover it up instead, but a css solution to do it properly would be better! Thanks for your wisdom! Tony So I have been working on a menu for my site and it's almost perfect except for one little problem. The dropdown menu displays correctly except for a page that you can only reach from that dropdown menu, you can visit the page here tylerkingdom.com/miltons_ethos/good.html. When hovering over "Case Studies" it repeats that background onto the Sub Nav but if you go back to the homepage and hover over "Case Studies" it displays correctly. I've hacked away at this for hours and still can't figure it out. If anyone has an idea please let me know. I have pasted the CSS below. Thanks Code: /* NAVIGATION */

plug this in and view it in ie and you'll see what i mean. Hello everyone, I have a drop-down menu that is currently working well. The only change I need to make is to have the right edge of the drop-down menu to align with the right edge of the parent menu. When you hover over the menu, it currently "drops" down and to the right, with the left edges aligned. I want the menu to "drop" down and to the left, so the right edges are aligned. I have tried fiddling with floats and absolute/relative positioning. I'm not sure what needs to be changed. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! I'm learning via "cut and paste", so please go easy on any terminology you may use. Thank you! Here is the page: http://www.littlebuddymedia.com/site05/012.html The menu currently drops like this (aligned along the left edge): http://www.justskins.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/drop-down-menu.gif I want the menu to do this (align along the right edge; see how "Artists" is aligned under "Music" along the right edge): http://artatm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mtvmenu.JPG Here is my code: Code:
.chromestyle{

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.

Any help is really appreciated thanks. Internet Explorer improperly renders my drop-down menu. The parent list's borders bleed over into the child list, covering its borders and a few pixels of the child list's LIs. The drop-down employs ALA's method for circumventing IE's problems with the :hover psuedoclass. I've tried to resolve this using z-indeces and haven't found anything. I've posted to the CSS mailing list but haven't received a response. I can't determine if this is a bug referenced on positioniseverything.net. I really would appreciate any advice anyone could give me. The HTML file is XHTML 1.0 strict. The CSS file, when run through the validator, produces one erroneous line--this one--but this is essential for proper rendering in Mozilla, and I'm really not certain why it's invalid. Well enough jabber--here are the relevant files: HTML: http://64.232.240.200/remax/index.html CSS: http://64.232.240.200/remax/remax.css javascript: http://64.232.240.200/remax/drop_down.js Any suggestions not pertaining to my problems are also welcome--I'm very interested in making the CSS file in particular as lean as possible. Thanks much! 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. (My drop down is vertically aligned on the left.) (bits of the code that relate to the menu) PHP Code: .btn1 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 200px; } .btn2 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 240px; } .btn3 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 280px; } .btn4 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 320px; } .btn5 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 360px; } .btn6 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 400px; } .btn7 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 440px; } .btn8 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 480px; } .link1 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 240px; } .link2 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 280px; } .link3 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 320px; } .link4 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 360px; } .link5 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 400px; } .link6 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 440px; } .link7 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 480px; } .link8 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 520px; } .link9 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 560px; } #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; } #nav a { display: block; width: 100px; } #nav li { width: 100px; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; width: 100px; left: -9999px; display: none; top: 0; z-index: 3; } #nav li:hover ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } #nav li:over ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } PHP Code: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn1" src="../mainbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MainBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn2" src="../blogbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="BlogBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link1"><a href=""><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="bMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link2"><a href="#"><img src="../anmbtn.gif" alt="bAnimeBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="#"><img src="../mgabtn.gif" alt="bMangaBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="#"><img src="../gmebtn.gif" alt="bGameBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="#"><img src="../bookbtn.gif" alt="bBookBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img class="btn3" src="../musebtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MuseBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link2"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="mMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../pmbtn.gif" alt="mPoemBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../stybtn.gif" alt="mStoryBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../drmbtn.gif" alt="mDreamBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img class="btn4" src="../oddbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ComicBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="cMainBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBart.htm"><img class="btn5" src="../artbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ArtBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="aMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="aRecentBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../gaibtn.gif" alt="aGaiaBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img class="btn6" src="../picbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="PicsBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="pMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="pRecentBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBfaq.htm"><img class="btn7" src="../faqbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="FaqBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBcon.htm"><img class="btn8" src="../contactbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ContactBtn"></a> </li> </ul> <script type="text/javascript" src="drop_down.js"></script> the "nav" is referring to a bit of js, and this is in my header. 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! Hi, I got the menu the working the way I want, except I can't get the last two on the menu to be bold becasue they are like Multimodal Corridor Planning, a category with articles under it. Here is the link: http://www.greatstreetsstlouis.net/...d=32&Itemid=204 I just need to get Site Planning to be bold, and then Choices & Guidelines. I have to use CSS as well, becasue the menu is done through Joomla and is dynamic. I need those last two titles to behave the same way when clicked on like Multimodal Corridor Planning does. Thank you. Here is the code: Code: .extmenu .modulebdr div div div #mainlevel {

Hi, I've been at this for some time now. Currently building a site (development address: mainline.divsharp.com). Menu (left) was Javascript, its now CSS. Works fine in Chrome, Firefox and IE 8, but IE 7 is acting extremely strange. You can see the desired effect if you use a recent version of one of those browsers. When I pull it up in IE 7 on the homepage, I can't hover over the popup like I can in the other, more compliant browsers. It either hides the pane as soon as the mouse gets off the main menu link, or when the mouse leaves the picture once its over the pane. If I then click on, say, "Market Watch" and try to view the menu on an interior page, its even more erratic. I'm about at the end of what I know or can look up how to do here.. If I can get the mouse over some part of the popout pane, it seems that if its over the content area of a div and not padding or margins, it stays open. For example, over the picture or over the grey area to the right... This might suggest something to someone.. Unfortunately, the markup is clogged at best and my style is all over the place. Site is built in Wordpress and is a custom theme. Hopefully this will help: Home page style sheet: mainline.divsharp.com/wp-content/themes/mainline/style.css Interior page style sheet: mainline.divsharp.com/wp-content/themes/mainline/interior.css In those stylesheets, there isn't much discernible organization, but the pieces relating to this problem are near the id's labeled menu_bg in the middle and at the very bottom is where the hover effects are. The popout is achieved like this: Code:
<li id="popout_hov">
<div id="popout">code for menu pane</div>
</li>
#popout_hov #popout {
visibility: none;
}
#popout_hov:hover #popout {
visibility: visible;
}
Thanks. Hello. My site works fine in Firefox 3 of course not sure about IE 7 but in IE 6 the menus bar links are not dropping down ie About Us, Services ect. What did I miss? Site Link Matt 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. tomm[.]bnesfinest[.]net/underattackwebsite/test/menu.html tomm[.]bnesfinest[.]net/underattackwebsite/test/menu.css For some reason, it refuses to rollover... in the actual site I've tried implementing it, all of them come up in the secondary start (black text, blue bg) rather than the default state (white text, transparent bg). Neither times does it actually "rollover". What am I doing wrong? Code from: webvamp[.]co[.]uk/blog/coding/graphical-css-rollover-menu/#example |
