CSS - List Item Float Trouble
I am having trouble with my navigation. it works fine in safari and firefox, but when i try it in IE for the PC the main navigational elements don't move. does anyone know why?
www.iconiqdesigner.com thanks! Similar TutorialsHi 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 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 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! Please look at the bottom of this page in FF - http://certified.tmhdesign.com The li elements have a margin-left or the ul a padding left. Can someone help me out? Here is my css ul#hp_offers{ width:600px; margin:0 0 0 10px; border:1px solid #e0e0e0; } ul#hp_offers li{ padding:3px 5px 3px 25px; border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0; list-style:none; list-style-type:none; margin:0; } li.even{ background: #f1efef url(../images/offer_even_bullet.gif) no-repeat 10px 7px; } li.odd{ background: #e0e0e0 url(../images/offer_odd_bullet.gif) no-repeat 10px 7px; } 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;}

Thanks in advance. -colin 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". ok im having some trouble with the layout of some stuff. i have my webpage set up so i have a <div> floating to the left and a content area to the right. in my "content" area, i have an img where i used "float:left;" so i can have text to the right of it. but now after that, i have <br clear='left' />. the problem is that when i put that break in there, it clears the float for the first <div>. is there anyway around this? here is some sample code. Code:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div{
float:left;
width:150px;
color:red;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<p>text</p><p>text</p><p>text</p><p>text</p>
</div>
<img scr='fake.jpg'>
<p>text</p>
<br clear='left' />
<p>text under thats not susppose to clear float to the left</p>
</body>
</html>
hi I have this.. http://www.thehundreds.com/thewall/index.php as u can see the threads to the right are acting up once the float of the login is done, because the height is not the same.. is there anyway to force the threads div to continue to line up, or better yet, have that div to the right of the login without using a float?? Of course, IE is being a P.I.T.A. I can't figure out why this is happening... but it's probably something so simple I'm overlooking it. I have a set of images and/or links set up as a list and the last item on the first row shifts down. After that row, everything looks fine. No problems on FF, Chrome and Safari (Mac). See this page for example and view with Explorer: www[dot]cameronstevens[dot]ca/gallery[dot]html Thanks Is there any way to have horizontal list items automatically fill any given width? for example, If I have 5 list items, I can set each width to 20% and the list will fill the width of the container, but if I don't set a width, then they collapse to the left. the behavior I'm after is like a table. The 'old' way to create a horizontal list would be to create a table with one row and 5 cols. Setting the width of the table to 100% would make each cell 20% automatically. Any way to accomplish this in css without explicitly setting the width? Hey everyone, After doing some reprogramming of the site I was making I'm having troubles with lists. I can't set the width of the li or a so that the size takes shape. I can't figure out why, or how to do it. I know I've done it before but the code i used there just doesn't seem to want to work. The LI and A tags take the size of the text within. I've checked the resources I could find in the sticky and that kravitz gave me and they seem to be able to set width but it's just not working. here is my css Code:
#menu{
width:750px;
border:thin solid #000000;
}
#menu ul{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:750px;
display:inline;
}
#menu li{
width:150px;
display:inline;
border:thin solid #000000;
list-style-type:none;
background-color:#550210;
}
#menu a{
width:150px;
}
If I take out the display:inline the width takes shape but when I put it back in it resizes to the size of the text within. I created our site's home page using strictly presentational mark-up and am now trying to lay it out strictly using css. Here is my attempt: jalc.org/index_css.html The graphic on the right-hand side with the word Jazz and the musicians should align with the large center image (just under the drop-down nav). Here is how the page is supposed to look: jalc.org I can't get that image to float right and align with the top of the large image. If anyone has any suggestions I would be most appreciative if you could share. I have spent too much time on this already. I'm going mad. Thanks, Andy Ok, so I've got a decent design laid out, and I'm working on creating the markup for it, but I've run into some trouble. It's a fairly common style, two collumn with a header and footer. The navbar is a 2 deep nested unordered list sitting on the left side inside a floated div called "sidebar." What I'd like, is for the space to the right of it to function as if it was a separate cell as it were (in tables lingo anyway, if you can't tell I'm still learning the new way of things). The funny thing is, IE does this by default, and I know that's incorrect, but I really wish I could get the layout working just like it works in IE. The page is located at: http://www.digital-traffic.net/gallery.php CSS is at: http://www.digital-traffic.net/styles/main.css I am really stumped -- I need to stack images on top of one another using an unordered list but I get a few pixels of whitespace at the bottom no matter what I do. I know this could be acheived using divs instead but I would like to figure it out using lists. I broke the code into as simple a form as possible and put it below. Removing everything between the </li> tag and the next <li> tag does not work. I tried adding "height: 20px;" under "#nav ul li" to force the images to stack on top of each other -- this works in Safari and Firefox but not in IE Windows. If I remove the DocType tag or switch it to xhtml transitional the images do stack in Safari but not in Firefox or IE. Am I missing something here or is this just not possible? Appreciate any help.

First of all, I hope this makes sense - I just spent two hours nonstop tweaking the navigation on my first client's site, and my brain and eyes are a bit frazzled. I have the navigation in a list, displayed horizontally in a Suckerfish dropdown. The container is elastic but the navigation is not; I want it to stick to the right side but move to the left when the browser is made narrower. Floating it to the right works perfectly.. But it reverses the order of my list items so that "Home" is to the far right instead of the left. Is there any way to reverse the order of the list items without touching the HTML? Going for full accessibility here, so I obviously don't want to reverse the item order in the HTML. I could probably figure this out on my own but it would take time, and like I said.. My brain is a little wonky right now Thanks in advance! I've been using CSS for a couple of days now, and am a bit stuck on how to change the main background image in the body when I hover over a menu item on the side bar. Changing the menu item background seemed easy enough. But, I suspect I am missing a key piece on how to get access to a body style from inside a list style. Here is the short section I am working on, with the full CSS file shown below that. This validates with a couple of warnings about my black on black color selection. I would certainly appreciate any help with this. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> <html> <head> <title>HOTWORKS</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="stylz.css" type="text/css"> </head> <body class="top" id="bdy" > <!-- Site navigation menu --> <ul class="navbar" id="navlist"> <li><a href="tools.html"><br>Tools</a> <li><a href="glass.html"><br>Glass <br> Artwork</a> <li><a href="pottery.html"><br>Ceramic<br> Artwork</a> <li><a href="about.html"><br>About</a> </ul> <!-- Main content --> <h1> </h1> <p> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> TOOLS - ART - MISCELLANEA <br> <address> </address> </body> </html> Code: #navlist a:hover {
color: #1e5ebd;
background:url("images/drawer4b.jpg") no-repeat;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position: 0px -10px;
color:#FF0000;
/* how do I do something like this
body.top { background-image: url(images/tabtool.jpg) ; }
*/
}
Just to be complete, and in case there is something in here that you might need, here is the full css file: Code:
body.top {
padding-left: 11em;
font-family: Fantasy, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size:15px;
color: #000000;
/*background-image: url(images/tab3.jpg) ; */
background-position: 210px 10px;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-color: #000000;
margin-left:5cm;
}
body.top { background-image: url(images/tab3.jpg) ; }
ul.navbar {
color: #000000;
list-style-type: none;
position: absolute;
display:block;
float:left;
left: 1em;
}
h1 {
font-family: Helvetica, Geneva, Arial,
SunSans-Regular, sans-serif
}
ul.navbar li {
text-align:center;
/* vertical-align:100px; */
background: #000000;
border-right: 1em solid black;
}
ul.navbar a {
text-decoration: none ;
top:10%;
height:4em;
}
a:link {
color: white }
a:visited {
color: white }
#navlist {
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:.8em;
font-weight:bold;
list-style:none;
}
#navlist a {
display:block;
width:144px;
height:137px;
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
background:url("images/drawer4.jpg") no-repeat;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position: 0px -10px;
}
#navlist a:hover {
color: #1e5ebd;
background:url("images/drawer4b.jpg") no-repeat;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position: 0px -10px;
color:#FF0000;
/* how do I do something like this
body.top { background-image: url(images/tabtool.jpg) ; }
*/
}
#navlist a:active {
background:url("images/drawer4b.jpg") no-repeat;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position: 0px -10px;
color:#FFC741;
}
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 was just testing some possible layouts for my navigation.. and I came across an inconsistency that I've never encountered befo Code:
#menu #nav{
padding:0px;
list-style-type:none;
margin: 0px 0px 15px 0px;
background-color:#FFF;
}
#nav li{
float:left;
/*display:inline;*/
margin-left:5px;
margin-right:5px;
}
So basically, in Fx 1.0.7 when I comment out the display:inline the bullets are shown again (despite the declaration being uncommented) In IE 6.0 there isn't an issue. Is this descrepancy another time where Fx revets to what it assumes as the correct way to handle the code? Or am I just missing out on something here. Hey - I'm not too CSS savvy, more of a PHP expert, so I'm experiencing this problem with a dynamic list of message board topics. Inside of a table, I've got the following DIV to create each topic with rounded borders for the buttons. Code: <div id="topic">
<b class="rtop"><b class="r1"></b><b class="r2"></b><b class="r3"></b><b class="r4"></b></b>
<a href="?action=message_board&topic_id={ID}" class="green11">{name}</a>
<b class="rbottom"><b class="r4"></b><b class="r3"></b><b class="r2"></b><b class="r1"></b></b>
</div>
The CSS is... Code:
div#topic{ margin: 2 2px; background: #D8EEE7; float: left; font-weight:bold;}
b.rtop, b.rbottom{display:block;background: #FFF}
b.rtop b, b.rbottom b{display:block;height: 1px;
overflow: hidden; background: #D8EEE7}
b.r1{margin: 0 5px}
b.r2{margin: 0 3px}
b.r3{margin: 0 2px}
b.rtop b.r4, b.rbottom b.r4{margin: 0 1px;height: 2px}
Here's my problem...in Firefox/Safari/Camino, it does exactly what I want. Each button is dynamically sized perfectly, and they display (left floated) one after the other, but in IE, it displays them as a vertical (rather than horizontal) list. I'd imagine this has something to do with the FLOAT tag, but I have no idea how to solve the problem. Here's the link...I'm referring to the list of topics under "BOARD TOPICS": http://www.2ndfloor.org/message_board_updates/index.php?action=message_board Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jeremy |
