CSS - Link From Pull Down List
Hi:
Is it possible to use a Form pull-down box as a link rather than a Form Item? For example, I have the following code: Code: require ('./includes/db_access.php'); //get parts of records $get_list = "SELECT company_id, company_name, contact FROM companies ORDER BY company_name"; $get_list_res = mysql_query($get_list) or die(mysql_error()); echo " <select name=\"company_id\"> <option value=\"\">-- Select One --</option>"; while ($recs = mysql_fetch_array($get_list_res)) { $co_id = $recs['company_id']; $co_name = $recs['company_name']; echo "<option value=\"$co_id\"> $co_name</a></option>"; } echo " </select> and what I want is that when the user selects the correct company, it executes the following link: Code: edit_company.php?company_id=$company_id I can't seem to make this work, no matter how I embed the <a href> into the list. Any ideas? Thanks Similar TutorialsI can't set the border around my links in a drop down list, not the top level or 2nd level. I do it on #nav (id for whole 2 level lists group) on all these to make sure but no black border. #nav a {..} #nav ul {...} #nav ul li { ...} #nav li { /* all list items */ float: left; background: lightblue; width: 100px; /* width needed or else Opera goes nuts */ border-width=1 1 thin thin; border-color=black; Hi everybody. I am trying to transition from awkward HTML and haphazard CSS to valid XHTML (transitional) and a central stylesheet. I'm trying to create a small link list where each item "hovers" in a different color, but I'm clearly doing something wrong. The HTML file is http://www.bsuto.com/valid.html ( and the CSS is http://www.bsuto.com/sheet.css ) Thanks in advance for any help! Hi, I am using linked-in stylesheets for my webpage and have an unordered list, which is inside a div, for the phone number and email address (which is an email link) which are in the top right corner of the page. The whole page is in a container div. I am trying to 'text-align' these two <li> elements to the right, the phone number does this but the email link just won't move to the right and is staying on the left! I have put the 'text-align: right' attribute for the 'ul' and the 'li' and the 'a' but to no avail. The weird thing is, I also have an undordered list for my navigation which is also on the same page, running horizontal on the left side of the page, but these seem to work fine for the alignment (each link is centered nicely in their boxes). Why won't the email link align right?! My stylesheet code: #garden-designer-contactbar ul { display: block; position:absolute; text-align: right; font-size: 20px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #666666; left:541px; top:0px; width:179px; height:51px; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none; z-index:6; } #garden-designer-contactbar li { display: block; text-align: right; } #garden-designer-contactbar a { display: block; position:absolute; text-align: right; font-size: 12px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #666666; font-weight: normal; } My page code: <div id="garden-designer-contactbar"> <ul> <li>020 0000 000</li> <li><a href="mailto:email@email.co.uk?subject=Garden Design" title="email Garden Design" align="right">email@email.co.uk</a></li> </ul> </div> Does anyone know what might be going on? My container div for the whole page is set to 'text-align: left' but I tried removing that attribute and it just made other text on the page that wasn't specifically aligned, centre. And the email link seemed to stay where it was. Any help much appreciated! Hello, I'm trying to create an list menu like the one in attached image and I have 2 problems. 1. In IE 6,IE 7 the list is ordered verticaly and not horizontaly (in Opera and FF it is ok) 2. I need to align the text on the bottom of the list like inattached image. Here is what I manage to do till now : http://www.sibiul.net/test/list-align.php Anyone knows what I must do ? 10x I would like the link colour to change and the background of the <li> to change as well. I can't figure out what CSS to use for it though. I have made bold and underlined the li I want to change on hover. Code: <li id="menuitem_2mainnav"> <a id="menulink_2mainnav" class="mainlevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=2">Meetings</a> <ul id="menulist_2mainnav"> <li id="menuitem_2_1mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_1mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=14">TEST 1</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_2mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_2mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=15">TEST 2</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_3mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_3mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=16">TEST 3</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_4mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_4mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=17">TEST 4</a></li> </ul> </li> I have tried: Code: #menulist_2mainnav li:hover{ color:#000000 !important; } But it doesn't change the links text colour. I have a "menu" div that slides down from the top of the page using a scriptaculous effect. I have a tab in another div that needs to slide down as if it were attached to the "menu" div. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to accomplish this effect. Right now I the menu div either slides down over or under the tab div. I would appreciate any help. Hello everybody! Im am now designing a webpage with a pull-upmenu. The menu can be seen he http://www.fidelin.se/ucon/index.php The problem in IE7 is that the dropup-items will disappear when you move the mouse over them. Any suggestions on how to solve this? See the code in the post below. I have not constructed the menu myself, as you might see. Thanks in advance Johan Seems like most people use unordered lists for menus. Code: <ul> <li>menu1</li> <li>menu2</li> <li>menu3</li> </ul> Others use definition lists. They claim it is less buggy with IE. Code: <dl> <dt>menu1</dt> <dt>menu2</dt> <dt>menu3</dt> </dl> Any thoughts on whether unordered lists or definition lists are best? Also, I sometimes see the menu text surrounded by a SPAN tag. I believe this has to do with only being able to assign one attribute to an element, but am uncertain. Can anyone help explain? Also, if I want a single HTML to work with various CSS, is it a good idea to always include the SPAN tag? Code: <ul> <li><span>menu1</span></li> <li><span>menu2</span></li> <li><span>menu3</span></li> </ul> Thanks 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 Hi, Have an unordered list which I use as a menu. I have set the list-style-type property to none because I don't want any bullets or anything. When I look at the menu within a bordered div, it seems like there is a margin to the left of the <ul>. Eventhough there are no bullets in the <ul>, the <li> are still placed at the same location from the left. How can I left adjust the unordered list so that there are no visible margin at the left side? /Hubba Bubba Hi I have a vertical menu containing main and subcategories. subcats are hidden, when a main cat is clicked then subcats are displayed, all is done with css no javascript. here is the structure, Code: <ul id="nav"> <li class="level item-1 nav-clothes active parent"> <a href="/clothes.html"><span>Clothes</span></a> <ol class="level item-1"> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-shirts"> <a href="/clothes/shirts.html"><span>Shirts</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-tanks"> <a href="/clothes/tanks.html"><span>Tanks</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-raincoats"> <a href="/clothes/raincoats.html"><span>Raincoats</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-dresses"> <a href="/clothes/dresses.html"><span>Dresses</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-swimsuits"> <a href="/clothes/swimsuits.html"><span>Swimsuits</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-outerwear last"> <a href="/outerwear.html"><span>Outerwear</span></a> </li> </ol></li> <li class="level item-2 nav-beds parent"> <a href="/beds.html"><span>Beds</span></a> here is my all related css, external css file, Code: #nav { font-size:13.5px; color:#000; padding:0 0 0 0; margin:-20px 0 0 0; width:100%;} /* All Levels */ #nav li { text-align:left; } #nav li.over { z-index:999; } #nav a, #nav a:hover { display:block; line-height:1.3em; text-decoration:none; } #nav span { display:block; cursor:pointer; white-space:nowrap; } #nav li ul span {white-space:normal; } #nav li li.parent {} /* 0 Level */ #nav li { clear:both; position:relative; display:block; } #nav li.active a { color:#000; text-decoration:underline; } #nav a { float:left; padding:2px 14px 11px 0px; color:#000; font-weight:bold; } #nav li.over a, #nav a:hover { color:#000; text-decoration:underline; } #nav .item-1 ul a { background:url(../images/arr_sub_menu.gif) 0 9px no-repeat; padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-2 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-3 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-4 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-5 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-6 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-7 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-8 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-9 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav ul li a { padding:0 0 0 0;} #nav ul li a:hover { padding:0 0 0 0; text-decoration:none;} /* 1st Level */ #nav ul li, #nav ul li.active { float:none; margin:0; padding:6px 0 0 29px; background:#FFFFFF; border-left:1px solid #E8E7E7; border-right:1px solid #E8E7E7; } #nav ul li.over {} #nav ul li.last { background:#FFFFFF; padding-bottom:15px; } #nav ul a, #nav ul a:hover { float:none; padding:0;} #nav ul li a { font-weight:normal !important; } /* 2nd level */ #nav ul { position:absolute; width:199px; top:23px; left:-10000px; background:url(../images/bg_sub_menu.gif) 0 0 no-repeat; padding:23px 0 0 0; border-bottom:1px solid #E8E7E7; margin-left:100px; } /* 3rd+ Level */ #nav ul ul { top:5px; background:none; padding-top:0; border-top:1px solid #E8E7E7; } /* Show Menu */ #nav li.over > ul { left:0; } #nav li.over > ul li.over > ul { left:100px; } #nav li.over ul ul { left:-10000px; } #nav ul li a { background:url(../images/arr_sub_menu.gif) 0 9px no-repeat; padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616; } #nav ul li a:hover { color:#1A1616 !important; } #nav ul span, #nav ul li.last li span { padding:3px 15px 4px 15px; } #nav li ul { display:none; } #nav li:hover ul{display: block; } #nav ol { margin-left:5px; margin-bottom:10px; } #nav ol li { padding-left:15px; background-image:url(../images/ol_bg_lines.gif); font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; } #nav ol li.last { background-image:url(../images/ol_bg_lines_last.gif); } inline css code to overwrite the default behavior for target page Code: ul#nav {margin : 0 10px; margin-bottom:0px;} ul#nav li {height : 14px; margin-top : 5px;} ul#nav li a, ul#nav li a:hover {} ul#nav ul {margin-top : -8px; background : url(/images/drop-ul-bgr.gif) no-repeat; } ul#nav ul li {height : auto; margin-top : auto;} ul#nav ol li a { padding:0px; } ul#nav ol li { margin:0px; padding:5px 0 5px 15px; } ul#nav ol { border:#ccc 1px solid; padding-bottom:30px; } I am attaching a screenshot to explain the problem, i have given border to the OL to explain the problem. In the screenshot the pink arrow is pointing the place, BEFORE BEDS, where i want to give more space but the child list keeps overlapping rather than pushing the parent list downwards. any help is much appreciated I am really stuck with this. Hi, I have an OL list (the numbered one) and the horz gap between the list item number (as automatically generated by OL) and the text of the LI is too big (according to client). Looks fine in FF but is bigger alright on IE (ahem naturally .....) I've played with the CSS for both the OL & LI styles even setting all margins and paddings to 0 but without effect on the gap. Is there any way to style that gap? Code below. Kevin <ol class="most_read"> <li class="most_read_li">Apples</li> <li class="most_read_li">Oranges</li> </ol> .most_read { text-align:left; color:#808080; font-size:10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:normal; margin-left:30px; padding:0px; margin-top:5px; } .most_read_li { margin-bottom:7px; margin-right:7px; } Hi I am creating a navigation bar using unsorted list and CSS.

Is there any way I can achieve this? Your guidence will be appreciated. Many thanks PROBLEM: I create a nice button using the sliding doors technique for rounded corners. But the button displays with 100% width unless I float it. My layout requires that the buttons be inline with the text, so floating won't work. Anyone know an alternative? I wouldn't mind floating but I want the button to show inline with the text. When I use float:left, it removes it from the inline flow. Basically, I want a very modular button that can be used in several different places on a page. In many cases, floating is fine because the mockup has it out of the inline text, but I want to use it there, too. Here's the HTML: <a class="button" href="#"><span>Update Profile</span></a> Here's the css: a.button:link, a.button:visited { background:url(button_right.gif) no-repeat right top; } a.button span:hover, a.button span:active { background:url(button_left_hover.gif) no-repeat right top; } a.button span { background:url(button_left.gif) no-repeat left top; color:#fff; cursorointer; display:block; height:20px; line-height:20px; margin:0 2px 0 0; padding:0 10px; position:relative; white-space:nowrap; } http://tinyurl.com/5llwfl I'm having some problems with this page in particular. Try clicking on one of the Left or Right white image arrows below the main picture. This only occurs in Firefox 2.x. Once you click the link, the content area below "Starting from $278.497" should shift roughly 5 pixels down. I thought it may be related to the dotted link outline that surrounds the image, but that was not the case. I applied styles to get rid of that and there was no changes. I also thought it may be related to a position:relative; bug which this site has been notorious for. I tried making certain divs in that area position:relative to no avail. So to test further I tried an overall #content *{position:relative;} fix which could not fix the position shift, either. I'm not sure what else it could be. And while I do have access to the build of this app, I have not been able to reproduce the issue by downloading all HTML, CSS, and image files locally. Hello Is there a way i can restore my <a href> link back to its original color, that is before the a:visited event, when I click on another link? PS. no Javascript code needed, is their an alternative in css? I have my links defined with a dashed border, but I don't want this on linked images and I'm trying to figure out if I can accomplish this with CSS only without additional markup in my HTML file. Here is a sample file: http://www. shawkey.com/test/imagebordertest.html Any suggestions on how I can get the dashed border to not appear below the image and only appear below the text with just CSS? Hello is there a way to make it so hyperlinks are not decorated as the default blue? I have the following css which I've attempted to make it so the text '.com' is always white, but it defaults to the standard link color. html: <td class="nodecoration"><a class="nodecoration" href="http://www.somesite.com">.com</a></td> css: Code: td.nodecoration { background-color: #003399; color: white; width: 120px; height: 30px; font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif; font-size: 25px; font-weight: bold; text-align:center; } A:link.nodecoration {text-decoration: none} A:visited.nodecoration{text-decoration:none} A:active.nodecoration{text-decoration:none} a:hover.nodecoration{text-decoration:underline} Hello, I created a menu using an unordered list and after the list I have a div with some text: http://www.27lamps.com/public/Menu.htm My menu gets over the div. Why? Thanks, Miguel |
