CSS - List-based Navigation - Changing Seperate Style On Sub-navigation Rollover?
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! Similar TutorialsI am going to heck right now trying to get this navigation to work. Here is what it is A horizontal list based navigation that has a unique background for each of the 6 choices. It will also have a rollover effect on the background and the text when the user is on that item. The links will be text but the background will be an image. How do I set each item's background to the correct width and height pixel wise? i have set up my navigation menu like so: PHP Code: <style type='text/css'> div#nav { border:1px solid #000000; background-color:#F2F2F2; height:auto; } div#nav a { display:block; color:black; border:1px solid #FFFFFF; } div#nav a:hover { color:red; border:1px solid #000000; background-color:white; } </style> <div class='nav'> <a href='page1.html'>Page 1</a> <a href='page2.html'>Page 2</a> <a href='page3.html'>Page 3</a> <a href='page4.html'>Page 4</a> </div> the above works perfectly in Firefox, but doesnt in IE. IE seems to keep around the fact that the <a> tag only encapsulates the text: Page 1, so the rollover effect only works in IE when the user hovers over the text and not anywhere in the row. Does IE not understand the display:block? as i think this is whats causing it... hey guys. wanna use an UL as navigation. my problem is I am unsure how to get this centered and get that tail of black off. here is the code. Code: ul#navlist
{
padding: 0;
margin: 10;
list-style-type: none;
float: center;
width: 85%;
color: #fff;
background-color: #000000;
}
ul#navlist li { display: inline; }
ul#navlist li a
{
float: center;
width: 5em;
color: #fff;
background-color: #000;
padding: 0.2em 1em;
text-decoration: none;
border-right: 1px solid #fff;
}
ul#navlist li a:hover
{
background-color: #369;
color: #fff;
}
html Code: <ul id="navlist"> <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">Band<font face="Times New Roman"> </font>Bios</a></li> <li><a href="#">Multimedia</a></li> <li><a href="#">Shows</a></li> <li><a href="#">Lyrics</a></li> <li><a href="#">Merchandise</a></li> <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li> <li><a href="#">Guestbook</a></li> </ul> I'm just wondering everyones opinions on what the best way to do a rollover navigation button is. Should I use two background images and on hover switch the background image? Is using one background image and moving the background up or down to switch between the images better? Is there another better way to do rollovers that i'm missing? I'm not really sure if I like the loading time that it takes to load the roll over image, and am wondering what method you guys use to achieve a similar effect. Hi All, I want to use images for a vertical navigation menu. I don't want to use background images, since I can't set width=100% with background images and I want the navigation panel to scale with em's. Instead, I want to use image swapping with the z-index. Rather than post my buggy solution and ask for help, maybe there is already a good sample I can work from? I want to avoid using a table with one column for this. I am new to CSS but here is my outline for what I am trying to do... Basically I want some block divs going down the navigation column. Each div represents a menu button showing the "off" image until someone hovers over it and then the z-index changes, allowing the "rollover" image to show instead. I would like the button div's to flow naturally down the column, but within each div I want to position the 2 images at top=0 left=0 relative to the button div. Seems simple right? Thanks for any suggestions or links. Savoye Hi, Could someone please help me to fix this error in my code. I created this website for my school, http://www.rit.edu/~cie/ but for some reason the navigation menu rollover does not work in IE. Could someone please point me to the errors as I have been spending so much time and still couldn't see what cause this. Thanks in advance Hi, My side navigation seems to be moving down when main content is added to a page for some reason, any ideas why and how i can fix this: Thanks, Mike ------- Thanks fixed! I am trying to create a Horizontal Multilevel Drop Down Navigation Menu, but instead of the css creating text i would like them to be images and when you hover over the links they rollover into a new image. I would really like your help on this been trying to do it for weeks now!! Cheers I can't see it working (and in practice it hasn't). Surely the background position needs to be fixed as the image is not scalable. I hope I am right on this or it's back to the drawing board. I'm making a horizontal navigation menu using lists and CSS. It looks fine in IE, but in Mozilla, the double border on the bottom appears just beneath the top one, and the next line shows up after the unordered list. Hard to explain - you'd basically have to check it out for yourself: http://www.michaelaparicio.com/ Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. Regards, Mike Aparicio Helllo all: I am having difficulty getting a navigation list to display as separate boxes. I get one large box with all the clickable links therein. I want one box with each link place on it. Here is my HTML code for the list: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="hey therel">flight1</a></li> <li><a href=" Eaglesoft">Eaglesoft</a></li> <li><a href="state police"">State Police</a></li> </ul> Here is the associated style rule:#nav{font-family:arial;border-styleutset; padding:10px;list-style-type:none; color:#000066;position:absolute;top:2.5in;left:9in; background-color:#ffff00;width:2.7in;text-align:center;display:block;} Can anyone tell me why this list is being parked in one box rather that three separate boxes. The name of my text editor is CoffeeCup. Please understand that I realize that the above html coding does not creat a link..this forum blocked my links..thanks Hi I've been trying make an <a> anchor nested within a <li> list tag appear on the same row as the bullet, with no avail. It's hard for me to explain exactly, so I've uploaded two images: This is how I'd like the list items to appear, substract the extra list item which I have no idea why it appears the Image 1 This is how the list items appear: Image 2 Here's the HTML: Code:
<div id="primary-sidebar">

I'd appreciate anyway help at all, as this has been on my mind for a while. Hi All, I have a new site and it has a bug that I don't know how to fix. The navigation and sub navigation is done with a list that is styled with CSS to be horizontal. I am not an expert at this, but learned it from a site, but unfortunately can't remember where The thing is, the site works most of the time. But when pages load slow, sometimes the list gets displayed as a normal vertical list and the entire "look" of the navigation is ruined. I'm sure I've done something wrong, but I don't know what. Are there any CSS experts here who can set me straight? The site is http://www.thehousebreakingbible.com/training/index.htm Thanks for your time, Dana I have a list that I've created with the list-style-type being an image. For some reason, the space between the list-style-image and the list text differs in IE and Firefox. Has this happened to anyone else, or am I doing something incorrectly? Below is the code. The cell that these lists sit in has has an id of 'cellid'. Code:
#cellid {
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
}
#cellid ul {
margin: 10px 0 0 20px;
padding: 0 0;
}
#cellid li {
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
list-style-image: url(images/idxyellowlist.gif);
}
The ul has a margin of 20px on the left to line up with an element above it. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get around this space? Thanks, Brian Hey guys I am currently having an issue with a CSS Navigation. 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.

Any help on why this is offset in IE7 would be great. Thanks in advance. 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. 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 have not finished styling the rest of the page, I am only concerned with the navigation right now. I appreciate your time and effort! 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;
}
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/ |
