CSS - Css Tab Navigation Minor Tweaks
I have followed the sliding doors tutorial for CSS tab navigation (see http://alistapart.com/articles/slidingdoors for the article, and http://alistapart.com/d/slidingdoors/v1/v1.html for the final solution that I'm attempting to duplicate), and attempted to make a few minor tweaks. For the most part everything works great, but I have not been able to figure out 2 issues:
1) Why are the small crevices between the tops of the tabs (created by the rounded edges) white on my page (http://www.familystudies.info/CSSTabs) but match the background on the sliding doors tutorial http://alistapart.com/d/slidingdoors/v1/v1.html? (I can't find where any of my code is different.) 2) I attempted to tweak the sliding doors solution by adding more of a rollover effect on non-current tabs. Specifically, I changed the tab color (background image) instead of just the tab text color. This works for everything except the left_on.gif image. My current code for changing that is "#header li:hover {background:url("left.gif") no-repeat left top;", and I have tried several other variations, but nothing seems to work. Thanks, Jason Similar TutorialsHello, first post here =) I'm having a margin/border problem where it is showing up the way I want it to in IE but not in FF. Here is the URL: http://www.prj2501.com Here is the CSS: http://www.prj2501.com/puppetmaster.css DOCTYPE is XHTML-STRICT In IE you will notice the extra border below the nav followed by the padding for the content ID which places the H3 where I want it. In FF, the border and the padding are both gone. In trying to debug this, I notice nothing I do above the H3(padding,margin,etc.) takes effect in FF...yet left and right padding do. The only way to get it to move down is BR tags and I'd rather not do that. Any ideas, suggestions? I am just now getting the hang of CSS so if you see anything glaring that does not seem best-practice, by all means point it out. Thanks in advance. Hey guys...I've been wrestling around with this problem for a few hours now. The below link shows a rounded corner tab that looks fine in firefox, but has a slight problem in IE. Thanks in advance for anyone who has any ideas. Code can all be seen when viewing source. http://www.vainglore.com/vain_new/test_tab.html 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'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 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 { margin:0; padding:0; list-style-type:none; font-size:100%; } ul.vertical { position:absolute; z-index:1000; cursor:default; width:180px; left:1em; top:4.05em; } ul.vertical li { position:relative; text-align:left; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand; width:180px; margin:-1px 0 0 0; padding-bottom:0px!important; padding-bottom:1px; float:left; clear:both; top:0; left:0; } ul.vertical ul { z-index:1020; cursor:default; position:absolute; width:197px; margin:0 0 0 179px; top:-100em; left:-1px; padding:1px 0 0 0; height:0px; overflow:hidden; } ul.vertical ul li { width:197px; } ul.vertical ul ul { margin: 0 0 0 179px; } @media Screen, Projection { ul.vertical li:hover > ul { top:0; height:auto; overflow:visible; } } ul.vertical a, ul.vertical a:visited { display:block; cursor:pointer; cursor:hand; background:url(images/bg.jpg); padding:5px 7px; font:normal normal bold 0.7em tahoma, verdana, sans-serif; color:#008000; text-decoration:none; letter-spacing:1px; } ul.vertical a:hover, ul.vertical a:focus, ul.vertical a.rollover, ul.vertical a.rollover:visited { background:url(images/bg_over.jpg); color:#806020; } ul.vertical .outtop {background:url(images/bg_over_top.jpg);} ul.vertical .outbg {background:url(images/bg_over_mid.jpg);} ul.vertical .outbot {background:url(images/bg_over_bot.jpg);} ul.vertical ul a, ul.vertical ul a:hover, ul.vertical ul a:visited, ul.vertical ul a:active ul.vertical ul a:hover, ul.vertical ul a:focus, ul.vertical ul a.rollover, ul.vertical ul a.rollover:visited { background-image:none; } @media screen, projection { * html ul.vertical li { display:inline; f\loat:left; background:#ffffff; } } * html ul.vertical li { position:static; } * html ul.vertical a { position:relative; } ul[class^="vertical"] ul { display:none; } ul[class^="vertical"] ul { displa\y:block; } Any help on why this is offset in IE7 would be great. Thanks in advance. 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; } 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? 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/ 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 appreciate your time and effort! 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. Can anyone tell me how I can move the navigation bar I'm using below so that it left aligns with the table below it? You can view the bar he http://oharenoise.org/2010_news_releases-2.htm I was told that the main nav element has a left: 75 px attribute attached to it but I can't seem to find it, embedded or on the external CSS. Maybe I'm blind? The CSS external sheet is found he http://oharenoise.org/ONCC_Style_Sheet.css Thanks, Rebecca Howdy all, and thanks for reading. I have a mainly CSS-based design, and I'm trying to continue that and stay away from tables, but the DIVs just don't want to cooperate on one area. Please visit the Virtual Tour section of this web site, click on any of the areas, and you will see the navigation at the bottom of the window that pops up. The stylesheet is local. It's especially bad in IE. I thought that maybe margins would help it, but the top and bottom seem to do nothing. I know that I could just put another DIV for the second row since I'm already defining the window width, but I'm using a database query for this, and the number of results could change often. I'd rather not resort to tables, but I may have to. Any help would be appreciated. -colin I have customised an open source wordpress template for my website and somewhere along the line seem to have broken the navigation as it appears in IE6,7,8. I use a mac so I didn't identify the problem straight away and I'm not sure how to fix it. I can work my way around CSS usually but I find navigation very difficult to grasp and so any help would be very much appreciated. blackmarlinfishingblog.com Problem: The child items of the navigation (drop downs) are appearing under the slideshow so you can't click on them. Thanks again in advance for any help you may be able to give! Hey, I'm a beginner just starting out and I ran into a problem building Site Navigation Bars for a practice-website. I would like a Navigation Bar that goes horizontally across the header, as well as a separate navigation bar that goes vertically down my sidebar. I had several questions regarding this endeavor. My current CSS code for my header div#header { width: auto; height: 100px; background: #ffffff url(DSC09762.jpg); padding: 5px; border-bottom: #000000 1px solid; } What I would like to add: ul { list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden; } li { float:left; } a { display:block; width:60px; background-color:#dddddd; } 1) How would I properly nest the latter part of the CSS code to the original? 2) Since I want to customize the design of the list that goes vertically down my side bar as well...I am concerned that I have to add an ID or Class Specification to each list. Am I correct in thinking this? Any tips regarding the preferred method? Help is much appreciated. Thanks! I am trying to create the navigation from this site: http://www.cougarsoftware.com/content/partners/overview.aspx in CSS. However, I have 2 problems. 1) getting the second (or third) column to always align to the top of the first 2) keeping the second column open when there are few items in the list ex: try choosing Partners and then a second column option. This design is currently in Flash, and thus is not accessible, however, hovering over 'dead' space, area without links, the bottom of column 2 closes the column 2 nav Thanks for any help!

Please note that the new navigation is only currently installed on the Newsroom section. I used this method (as was suggested by several people in this forum). I'm new to this method so now I need some help. The menus appear to be working but I would like some help with styling these so they look awesome. Here is a list of things I'd like to do (help with any or all of these would be appreciated): 1. I'd like to add a small border around the drop-down menu without adding a border to the img buttons I have. These images fit perfectly in the Navigation div and if a border is added around each one, the Resource button goes to a second line... very undesirable. 2. Is there a way to widen the drop-down menus? As you can see, most of the categories in each menu don't fit on one line. 3. I also is there a way to add a hover background color to the links? Thank you for your insight! I've created navigation buttons in Photoshop by making an 818px wide document, spacing out the words, then slicing them up. My navigation division is 818px wide but when I insert the buttons I created, they don't fit. I do not have any borders around them that I can tell. Why would this happen? http://www.oharenoise.org/new/2009_news_releases.htm Hello all, Not sure if this is a CSS or Javascript question.. I have a page which has an external CSS sheet, with a part for the @media print styling. On this page I'm also using (throughout my site) a javascript navigation bar. The idea is that when user clicks on a print-button, the whole navigation bar disappears, before printing. The Javascript seems however to add additional DIVS when loading the page which are without any ID, class or nametag, so I tried to get to this "navigationbar-div" via CSS selector combinations - just to find out that apparently CSS cannot select these divs (- maybe because they were added by javascript at runtime???). No matter what I try, it's like CSS doesn't "see" there's additional divs there.. I've also tried to select the concerning DIVs through DOM, but apparently this is still buggy even for modern browsers, so I rather not touch it.. Is there anyway I can get rid of the Javascript navigation bar in my print stylesheet? Thanks for your help! |
