CSS - Suckerfish Menus Disappearing In Ie
Suckerfish came into my life recently and has not only offered a great deal of freedom with dynamic menus at lower overheads than most (totally) Javascript alternatives, but has also had me tearing hairs out more frequently than most other things I know.
The problem I currently face is when viewing my menus in IE6. At first this suggests that the issues lie within the Javascript of the Suckerfish menus... The pages in questions are located at the following addresses (please excuse the mid-construction state of each): www.cheapboilers.com/sandbox/index.html www.cheapboilers.com/sandbox/baxi_105.html Take the grey vertical menu on the left hand side. The first level appears fine, but the problem is with the second level. In index.html all appears well. However in baxi_105.html when moving down the list in the second level menu the menu disappears when moving from the first to the second item. At first I thought the problem was to do with the margins surrounding the elements - I thought the li element had detected the mouse as having left the element as it passed over the border. If this were true then the same would happen with the index.html page (which uses the same code/html/css). It does not. My current theory is that the other elements on the page are somehow interfering with the Suckerfish menus. Index.html has nothing but text in the content of the page. baxi_105.html has images, links etc in it. This theory is backed up by going to the bottom list item in index.html (Worcester) and viewing the second level menu for it. The menu vanishes as with all the menus on baxi_105.html. It is as if the footer of the page is interfering with the operation of the menus. This disappearing menu issue is driving me up the wall. Please can someone offer a solution? Thanks in advance. Andy Similar TutorialsI have this test site using CSS drop down menus, but when you scroll over, they disappear. Seems to be happening in IE9, Firefox and Chrome. Can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated! Here is the script: Code: <head>

http://www.sdtars.com/development/ I can't figure out why I can't get them to popup over the other menus. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? Thanks! Hello my helpful comrades, I'm having some problems with the ol' Suckerfish in IE. It seems the second list is floating left, insead of appearing beneath the first list, and "clear:" won't fix it. I've been looking over the CSS all morning, but can't seem to locate the problem. The menus display perfectly in Fx. I have a feeling a lack of sleep is making me mildly stupid, but the slow progress thus far has driven me to seek help I've put the menu in a seperate .css file from the main layout to make it easier to read: CSS HTML Cheers! I want to make the drop downs on suckerfish menus appear horizontally rather than vertically. Any ideas how to? PHP Code: <style type="text/css"> #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; background-color: red; color: #000; } #nav a { display: block; width: 10em; color: #FFF; } #nav li { float: left; width: 10em; background-color: green; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; width: 10em; left: -999em; } #nav li:hover ul { left: auto; } #nav li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul { left: auto; } </style> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="#">Percoidei</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Remoras</a></li> <li><a href="#">Tilefishes</a></li> <li><a href="#">Bluefishes</a></li> <li><a href="#">Tigerfishes</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Anabantoidei</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Climbing perches</a></li> <li><a href="#">Labyrinthfishes</a></li> <li><a href="#">Kissing gouramis</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pike-heads</a></li> <li><a href="#">Giant gouramis</a></li> </ul> </li> <!-- etc. --> </ul> I thought I could change the BLOCK display of the #nav a to INLINE but that doesn't work. We want the dropdowns to appear as 1 2 3 4 5 rather than 1 2 3 4 5 Thanks I am not sure how to centre all items on the suckerfish menus: I thought this would work, but it doesn't and even if it did it won't validate: <ul id="nav"> <div style="text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"> NAV ELEMENTS HERE... </div> </ul> Surely someone has had to centre there suckerfish menu to a fixed width box..or any box for that matter. Was referred to Suckerfish and find it very useful but I cannot figure out how to center the menu line on the screen (inside a table or not). Oddly, it automatically centers in IE but not Chrome or Firefox. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!! I can post an example of what I mean but don't want to violate the new users guidelines. Hi fowks, Normally I'm able to solve CSS issues relatively easily, well with some experimentation at least. However, this one has really got me stumped. Basically, I'm developing a menu for a weblication which is based on the famous Suckerfish menus. Everything works ok in IE and Mozilla when in an Left-to-Right (LTR) environment, but it doesn't work quite so well when the direction is flipped to RTL. IE copes fine, but FF doesn't. The menu works itself, but the viewport doubles in size and scrolls off to the right, even though there are no elements there. Anyone got an idea as to what could be doing this? I've included the relevant files for you to trial. Thanks for having a look. Hope you can help. It's driving me nuts. Cheers, John I'm trying to use suckerfish style drop downs, based on CSS with javascript only for an Internet Explorer hack. It's working fine for a single horizontal row of menus, however I wanted to setup a few rows of other menus underneath the first row. The problem is that the dropdown goes underneath the menus under it and I can't figure out how to fix it. This is an example of the problem. Any suggestions? I have been developing some dropdown menus loosely based on Patrick Griffiths "Suckerfish" example (see http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/) and I have a prototype mostly working. The code is simple and is included in full below. However I see two problems with this that I can't sort out. First, in IE (6.0.2800) the dropdown is offset significantly from the left edge of the upper menu cell. In Mozilla (1.7.5) it's fine. I can't figure out why -- any ideas? I want it right underneath, not offset. Also, in Mozilla the dropdowns have a 1-pixel space at the right edge between the background and the border. Also a mystery ... Thanks for any comments / thoughts. Tom ======================================================== Code:

Hi, Can anyone help me. I am using a son of suckerfish dropdown menu on a joomla 1.5 site I am working on. laminatefabricators.com The menu is dropping down fine on all of my browsers (apple mac: safari, camino, firefox). & are fine on firefox for pc. The menus aren't displaying at all on Internet explorer. Please help... I have wasted so much time trying to fix it/find a fix. I am trying to compose several pages with a similar theme. They work on FireFox and several Mac broswers that I've tried, however in IE6 for windows, my div that is position:absolute; does not appear at all. It does appear when I change the value to relative. The other browsers I've tried show the absolute div with no problems. I have no idea what is going on. http://navpress.ecommercerep.com/chicken_soup_for_soul_bible/index_IE.htm The 'invisible' div should have a green background and some text. The above is a scaled-down version of http://navpress.ecommercerep.com/chicken_soup_for_soul_bible/index.htmhttp://navpress.ecommercerep.com/ch...le/index_IE.htm http://navpress.ecommercerep.com/ch...le/index_IE.htm Hi all This is the place I need help with http://www.simon.rochester.edu/source%20files/newpage/web5/ at the white navigation bar on the top, the dropdown is aligned to the top right corner rather than bottom left. I looked up suckerfish page and found out that's what IE does, so I added the fix: top:100%; left:0; to #topnav li ul However, nothing happens. I tried a slew of other things, nothing seems to change that bit. Can anyone help? Also if you notice, the white bar navigations are images, those images get compressed for some damn reason in IE. Mozilla doesn't have any of these problems. I implemented IE7 patch as well So I tried this popular drop-down menu technique and is all good except that the second-level menu links line up beside the top-level headers in IE6 instead of, well, dropping down (which thankfully does happen in FF). This would be very confusing for visitors trying to navigate! I have seen this problem described on forums and blogs but not found a solution. The example page at HTML Dog displays properly in IE6, which offers no insights . . . See the page in question: hire.karenjeane.com/web/site2.php Thanks for any help! I've messed with this for a couple days now. I can't seem to get it to do what I need it to. Any help would be much appreciated I need to add a 3rd column to the menu My code between the body and /body tags I marked the place I need the 3rd column with: *** ( Need to add a 3rd column for the filters ) *** Code: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="#">Home</a> </li> <li><a href="#">Maps</a> </li> <li><a href="history.php">History</a> </li> <li><a href="#">Contractors We Recommend</a> </li> <li><a href="#">Products We Recommend</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Pool Accessories</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Pool Accessories</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Accessories</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Accessories</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Accessories</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Accessories</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Pool Chemicals</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Pool Chemicals</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Chemicals</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Chemicals</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Chemicals</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Chemicals</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Pool Filters</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Pool Filters</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Filters</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Filters</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Filters</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Filters</a></li> </ul> </li> *** ( Need to add a 3rd column for the filters ) *** <li><a href="#">Pool Heaters</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Hayward</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pentair</a></li> <li><a href="#">Sta-Rite</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Pool Motors</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Pool Motors</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Pool Sweeps</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Hayward</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pentair</a></li> <li><a href="#">Sta-Rite</a></li> </ul> </li> <div id="content"> </div> Thanks for any help! I built a custom Suckerfish CSS dropdown nav, with a portion of the code for which is below: Code:
#nav {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #67670f;
text-align: left;
}
ul {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
}
li.navsep {
float: left;
width: 2px;
}
li.home {
float: left;
position: relative;
width: 61px;
}
li.home img {
border: 0;
}
li.ourproducts {
float: left;
position: relative;
width: 132px;
z-index: 500;
}
li.ourproducts img {
border: 0;
}
li.ourproducts ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 132px;
background-color: #fff;
}
li.ourproducts ul a, li.ourproducts ul a:visited {
display: block;
padding: 3px 0 3px 3px;
margin: 0;
color: #67670f;
text-decoration: none;
width: 129px;
}
li.ourproducts ul a:hover {
display: block;
background-color: #e4e2db;
color: #67670f;
text-decoration: none;
}
The focus is on the li.ourproducts a, li.ourproducts a:visited declaration. In IE6, the background on :hover is 3 pixels shy of covering the whole list item. I know this must have something to do with the padding. FF however, renders it fine. I figured that IE6 would handle the box model fine. When I make the width 132px however for li.ourproducts a, li.ourproducts a:visited, in IE6 it's fine and in FF it's 3 pixels farther than it should be (135px). Can anyone hint at what the problem might be? I can't seem to get the declaration so both see it fine. -B I'm working on my first suckerfish dropdown for a site. I'm encountering two problems. 1) There is no background color on the subitems when i select the main item, making them hard to read 2) Internet Explorer displays the dropdown to the right of the main list item, rather than below. Netscape displays it correctly. Is this due to something I altered? Code:

If you are having problems with Son of Suckerfish and IE7, where the drop down menu will not disappear like it should. Take out the javascript because you do not need it with IE7, but if you still want IE6 to work then put it in. For IE7, you need to add Code: *:first-child+html #nav {
height: 1%;
}
*:first-child+html #nav li {
height: 1%;
}
to your css and you will be fine. Don't ask me why, Don't ask how, i just chalk it up to just IE Hi, Sorry to bother you all but I seem to have run into an awkward problem and I would be extremely greatful if anyone could help me. www.duncansweetland.com/development/menu_problem/menu_problem.html I am attempting to code up a design generated by an individual and he is very specific that no sizes are to be changed in his precious design. The navigation uses son of suckerfish menu (3 levels) with the second and third levels launching to the right of the previous column - somewhat strangely! The nav elements consisting of font-size: 11px and a line-height: 12px and a 1px gap between each element - which as you can imagine is quite small (too small in my opinion but he won't change it!) And while firefox has no problems navigating back through the nested lists, internet explorer is going insane - with sub-menu's dissappearing as you scroll down through them or as you try to launch them, making the whole thing completely un-navigable. I produced a bigger version : font-size: 12px and a line-height: 20px and a 1px gap between each element - which was stable in both I.E and Firefox as a soloution - but he was insistant that these sizes are way too big and that the sizes should remain as he set them. If anyone could provide me with a soloution / tell me where I am going wrong or suggest any alternative methods that would facilitate the same conclusion I would be truly delighted to hear from you - please get in touch even if it is just to tell me it's unfixable and a new soloution needs to be found. Thanks in advance, Duncan Sweetland |
