CSS - Menu Item Targeting Iframe
I have searched to ... and back and can not find out how to target "leftcolumn" menu item to open in "rightcolumn". Using "ID" tag is not a option since it is already used in menu item string.
I have tried every combination but the right one. I hope I have included enough of the script to resolve the problem. <style type="text/css"> } .leftcolumn { position: absolute; top: 26px; left: 0px; width: 200px; height: 600px; text-align: justify; } </style> <div id="dmlinks" style="font:bold 14px Trebuchet MS;color:#000000;text-decoration:none"> <a id="dmI0" href="spartaumc.html" target="rightcolumn">Home</a> <a id="dmI1" href="spartaumc_history.html" target="rightcolumn">History</a> <a id="dmI2" href="location.html" target="">Location</a> </div> </head> <body> <div ="rightcolumn"> </div> </body> Similar TutorialsI'm a CSS newbie, so forgive me if I'm going about this the wrong way entirely. I'm trying to build a website with a menu that changes the source of an iFrame. So I have: Code: <html> <body> <div>**MENU**</div> <div><iframe id="contentFrame" src="home.htm"></iframe></div> </body> </html> Clicking a menu item, say "Contact Us", changes the src of the iFrame using: Code: <a href="javascript:document.getElementById('contentFrame').src='ContactUs.htm'">Contact Us</a> The menu is pure CSS, with each item underlining as it's rolled over, and some submenus that show up when hovering. What I'm looking to do is have the selected menu item have a different text color. So when you click "Contact Us", that item will change color and stay that other color while navigating the ContactUs.htm page in the iFrame. Is that even remotely do-able? I saw some examples where you use body classes and id's to match the id of the menu item to the body class of the related page. However, I think that would require loading completely separate pages (with the same menu, header, and footer code). I want to avoid the entire page flickering when changing content. I don't seem to be able to access the body class value of the page being loaded in the iFrame. Is that possible to do? Thanks for any guidance you all could offer. I have a navigation menu that uses ul and li for its headings. I also have a javascript that gets called on hover of the menu items. I would like a different script called for hovering over each menu item (so a different action happens for each item). What is the best way to achieve this? Can I have different styles for the menu items? Code: <html> <head> <title>Hi</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script> <script src="hoverIntent.js" type="text/javascript.</script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { $("#nav a").append("<em></em>"); $("#nav a").hoverIntent(function () { $(this).find("em").animate({ opacity: "show", top: "-34" }, "fast"); var hoverText = $(this).attr("title"); $(this).find("em").text(hoverText); }, function () { $(this).find("em").animate({ opacity: "hide", top: "-43" }, "fast"); }); }); </script> <style type="text/css"> body { margin: 0px; } #nav { border-top: 2px solid #000; border-bottom:2px solid #000; width: 100%; height: 36px; line-height: 36px; float: left; background:url("images/OFF2.gif") repeat-x top left; } #nav ul { list-style: none; width: 900px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0; position:relative; } #nav li { float: left; } #nav li em { background: url(images/home.png) no-repeat; width: 180px; height: 45px; position: absolute; top: -43px; left: 160px; padding: 20px 12px 10px; z-index: 1; display: none; } #nav li a { font-family:"Georgia", "Sans-Serif"; display: inline-block; text-decoration: none; font-size:medium; padding: 0px 5px; text-align:center; color: #000; width:110px; height: 36px; line-height: 36px; background:transparent url("images/off.gif") no-repeat top right; } #nav li a:hover { font-family:"Georgia", "Sans-Serif"; display: inline-block; text-decoration: none; font-weight:bold; font-size:medium; padding: 0px 5px; width:110px; height: 36px; line-height: 36px; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="nav"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Option1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Option2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Option3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Option4</a></li> <li><a href="#">Option5</a></li> <li><a href="#">Option6</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html> I have a CSS menu. How to I remove the RIGHT border for that last link item? I tried a bunch of stuff, I can change the colour of it but I can't seem to get rid of it.

I have used pat pat template and have managed to apply a background image for the first item. Here is the css: Code: #first-suckerfish-vertical{ background:url(../images/menutop.jpg) no-repeat; height:75px; margin-top:-2.5px !important; margin-top:-3px; position:relative; } Now to apply style on the main menu item, i use a.mainlevel. but i cant use the a.mainlevel..coz it will adjust all the links. I need to apply style only to the first link of my menu. I am wondering if there's a way in css to access a class from another class or id. I already have this style(#first-suckerfish-vertical) for the 1st menu item. is it possible now to access the a.mainlevel from it.. Thx Hi, I have asp menu in my aspx page. There are 3 menu items. If the user clicks on a menu item, I want to highlight the menu with a different color and by default the other menu items should have another color.

Here is my css so far, right now on hover I have it changing color with text-shadow. I would like to keep that along with the image above. I have seen some tutorials using about using spans but nothing worked. Thanks in advance! Code: .nav ul{list-style-type:none; margin:0 auto; padding:0; width:600px; height:50px; padding-left:500px; padding-top:100px} .nav li {display:inline; padding-right:15px } .nav a {text-decoration:none; color:white;} .nav a:hover {color: #0C0; text-shadow:2px 2px 2px white;} Hi I am creating a navigation bar using unsorted list and CSS. I have given my CSS and HTML code here Code: #navcontainer { width: 200px; margin-top:150px; } #navcontainer ul#navlist { width:200px; clear:left; text-align:left; margin-left:0; padding-left:0; list-style:none; font-size: 12px; font-weight:bold; line-height: 14px; } #navcontainer ul#navlist li { margin-left:0; padding: 0px; display: block; list-style:none; border-bottom: 1px solid gray; } #navcontainer ul#navlist li.last { border-right: 0; background:none; } a.linkText { padding: 10px; display: block; color : #444444; font-family : arial; font-size : 11px; font-weight : bold; text-decoration : none; height:25px; } a.linkText:link { color : Aqua; /* you can define other styles if necessary */ } a.linkText:visited { color : Maroon; /* you can define other styles if necessary */ } a.linkText:hover { color : Blue; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="navcontainer"> <ul id="navlist"> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item One</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item two</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item three</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item four</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item five</a></li> </ul> </div> The problem is, when I select the next list item, previously selected list item should come to the original color. Is there any way I can achieve this? Your guidence will be appreciated. Many thanks Hi all, I was wondering if someone could help me, or point me in the right direction. I am working on a site where I want to use a list based menu for the navigation structure. The first level is vertical on the left hand side of the page, the second level horizontal, and third level drops down vertically underneath. The main content currently is in an Iframe taking up most of the page. The system displays properly in Netscape, and still has a few problems in IE. However my main problem is this. When the menu crosses the IFrame it displays, but then when the mouse moves over the menu/iframe, the Iframe takes the focus and the menu disappears. Setting the Z-index has no effect. Is there a way to fix this, or an alternative to the IFrame? Thanks Wedgetail Hi There, I am working with an online educational system and working to style it accordingly. The system has "modules" that contain information of various types in their own distinct boxes. I would like to target each heading and style it individually ie different colours etc. I know this is probably a very basic problem and I'm relatively new to the process, but any help would be much appreciated. Here is the html generated by the system for one of the boxes "module:_148_1" ...............Start HTML Snippet <div class="portlet clearfix " id="module:_148_1"> <!-- extid:148: --> <h2 class=" "> <span class="moduleTitle" >What's happening at Ivanhoe</span> </h2> <div class="edit_controls"> </div> <div class="collapsible" style="overflow: auto;"> ............................End HTML Snippet My Current generalised styling on all boxes is achieved via the following css #moduleTitle, .portlet h2 { color: #fff; padding: 4px 52px 5px 6px; background: #13770a; background-image:url(images/headings_details.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:right top; margin: 0; font-size:110%; font-weight:bold; position:relative; vertical-align:middle; overflow:visible; } As an example, if I wanted to target this particular module with ID module:_148_1 and set the background colour to #a0012e how would I best achieve this? Many thanks Chris I have the following unordered list that Im cssing into a hover out menu: Code: <ul> <li><a href="#saveasnew" rel="saveasnew" class="lbOn">Save As New Page</a></li> <li><a href="splash_preview.php" onclick="window.open('splash_preview.php'); return false;">Preview</a></li> <li><a href="#">Change Status</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Deactivate</a></li> <li><a href="#">Activate</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Edit other page</a> <ul id="pagelist"> <li> : First Splash Page (active) </li> <li>2006-07-26 09:39:07: Splash Page 2 (inactive) </li> </ul> </li> </ul> Here's the code that handles the hover outs Code: div#AdminMenu ul li ul { margin:0; z-index:10; /* puts drop-down on top of div - Safari needs this as menu is 1px higher */ position:absolute; /* positions the drop-down ul in relation to its relatively positioned li parent */ width:10em; /*sets the width of the menu - in combo with the li's 100% width, makes the menu stack*/ border-right:0; /* stops SCBs drops having two right borders - they inherit the border, IE doesn't */ left:-1px; /*aligns the drop exactly under the menu */ } I want to change the width of the ul that has the id=pagelist, so that it is longer to accomadate the longer menu items. I tried accessing it like div#AdminMenu ul li ul ul ul#pagelist #pagelist ul but none of those seemed to work. Thanks, Mark I'm building some pages on a learning platform and i'm limited to using in-line styles. The platform is built in a frameset, and I would like to use my in-line styles to target an element in a different frame. I can find information about the "target" frameset name, frame name, element class etc, but don't have the option to change any of the markup here. Is this possible?

I need to center the following: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Search Home</title> <style type="text/css"> #search_items{ margin: 0 auto; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="search_items"> <form method="get" action="#" id="advanced_search"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td><!--trh2--> <strong>Appliance</strong> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="search_input"> <tr> <td valign="middle"> <input type="text" name="q" size="32" maxlength="256" value=""/> </td> <td valign="middle"> <input type="submit" name="btnG" value="Search"/> </td> <td class="more_options"> <a href="#">Advanced Search</a> <br/> <a href="#">Search Tips</a> <br/> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"/> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </div> </body></html> And I thought that the margin: 0 auto did it but it is not quite working. Kravvitz to preempt what I know will be a question from you, I am using tables because this is HTML generated by a Google search appliance so I'm just trying to work with what they give me :-) Hi Guys, I have what i think is a rather odd problem and i have not seen it before. I have just finished creating a wordpress template for my blog which can be found at http://www.mobileshop.com/blog i have pretty much got everything sorted (except Safari pushing the RSS info down) but i have one strange problem in IE. If you look on the right hand bar in a non IE browser you can see that the lists all have a little icon of a phone as the bullet points. Now if you switch to IE then you will see that the first item of each list is missing the phone icon. Even if i swap it back to normal bullets it still misses the first one off. The <li>'s all seem structured fine in the html and my css is as follows... Code: #rightbar ul li ul { background: #fff url(images/cat-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-y; color: #03036a; padding: 8px; margin: 0; margin-top: 0; } #rightbar ul li ul li { margin: 0; margin-left: 20px; padding: 0; line-height: 20px; list-style-image: url(images/phone-bullet.png); background: none; font-size: 120%; width: 210px; } I know its probably not the best code but i cannot for the life of me work out why IE does not display the icon for the first <li> item, anyone have any ideas? Thanx I've been struggling with this a bit. I would rather not use a container div for my lists, but it seems that it's not possible to assign the lists themselves a width. When I assign a width to the <ol> element, I lose the numbers under the margin on the left, which I can sort-of understand. If I assign a width to the <li> elements, it works fine in Firefox, but IE drops the number on the first <li> and changes the numbers on each following <li> to "1". Is there a clean way to display an element right next to a floated div that will have a changing width? I have an element I'm floating left, with max-width set (using an IE hack for IE). What I want is for my right floated div to display immediately after the left floated one. It's displaying a headline and a date. The reason they are not in teh same container is that if the headline is rather long I'm letting the text wrap. Thanks! Hi all, and thanks for reading. The following code looks fine in Firefox, but has huge spaces between the images in IE 6. CSS: Code: #menu {float:left; width:157px; background-color:#FFFFFF;} #menu IMG {display:block; margin:0; padding:0;} #menu UL {list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0; background-color:#FFFFFF;} #menu UL LI {margin:0; padding:0;} HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> ... <div id="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="../balloons/" title="Balloons"><img src="../images/menu-balloons.gif" alt="Balloons" width="157" height="37" border="0" /></a></li> <li><a href="../centerpieces/" title="Centerpieces"><img src="../images/menu-centerpieces.gif" alt="Centerpieces" width="157" height="37" border="0" /></a></li> <li><a href="../supplies/" title="Supplies"><img src="../images/menu-supplies.gif" alt="Suppliers" width="157" height="37" border="0" /></a></li> <li><a href="../contact/" title="Contact Us"><img src="../images/menu-contact.gif" alt="Contact Us" width="157" height="37" border="0" /></a></li> <li><a href="../" title="Home"><img src="../images/menu-home.gif" alt="Home" width="157" height="37" border="0" /></a></li> </ul> </div> Thanks in advance. -colin |
