CSS - Custom Css Drop-menu Bugging In Ie
Similar TutorialsHello everyone, I have a drop-down menu that is currently working well. The only change I need to make is to have the right edge of the drop-down menu to align with the right edge of the parent menu. When you hover over the menu, it currently "drops" down and to the right, with the left edges aligned. I want the menu to "drop" down and to the left, so the right edges are aligned. I have tried fiddling with floats and absolute/relative positioning. I'm not sure what needs to be changed. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! I'm learning via "cut and paste", so please go easy on any terminology you may use. Thank you! Here is the page: http://www.littlebuddymedia.com/site05/012.html The menu currently drops like this (aligned along the left edge): http://www.justskins.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/drop-down-menu.gif I want the menu to do this (align along the right edge; see how "Artists" is aligned under "Music" along the right edge): http://artatm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mtvmenu.JPG Here is my code: Code: .chromestyle{ width: 100%; font-weight: bold; float: left; height: 29px; } .chromestyle:after{ /*Add margin between menu and rest of content in Firefox*/ content: "."; display: block; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden; } .chromestyle ul{ border: 0px solid #BBB; width: 100%; background: url(chromebg.gif) center center repeat-x; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ padding: 4px 0; margin: 0; text-align: right; /*set value to "left", "center", or "right"*/ } .chromestyle ul li{ display: inline; } .chromestyle ul li a{ color: #000000; padding: 4px 7px; margin: 0; text-decoration: none; border-left: 1px solid #DADADA; } .chromestyle ul li a:hover, .chromestyle ul li a.selected{ /*script dynamically adds a class of "selected" to the current active menu item*/ background: url(chromebg-over.gif) center center repeat-x; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ } /* ######### Style for Drop Down Menu ######### */ .dropmenudiv{ position:absolute; top: 0; border: 1px solid #BBB; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ border-bottom-width: 0; font:normal 12px Verdana; line-height:18px; z-index:100; background-color: white; width: 200px; visibility: hidden; } .dropmenudiv a{ width: auto; display: block; text-indent: 3px; border-bottom: 1px solid #BBB; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ padding: 2px 5px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: black; } * html .dropmenudiv a{ /*IE only hack*/ width: 100%; } .dropmenudiv a:hover{ /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ background-color: #0000ff; color: #fff200; } Following sample is from http://www.code-couch.com/jeff/snippets/general/tektips-navigation-example.html is what I am trying to reference to create a template. But how do I how keep the state of Menu on each requested page any help is appreciated. The following menu is saved in a separate jsp file i.e. navs.jsp. I include this navigation jsp file in all of my files. Initially the drop down looks like: Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [+] Google.com . [+] Yahoo.com Now clicking [+] in front of Google.com will look like. Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [-] Google.com . Google.co.ie . Google.co.ie . [+] Google.co.nz . [+] Yahoo.com Lets's say now if I click on Google.co.ie it takes me to sample.jsp and on this requested page (sample.jsp) how can I show the following menu hierarchy with Google.co.ie bold/underlined/colorchanged showing what menu content I clicked and am viewing the appropriate content i.e. Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [-] Google.com . Google.co.ie . Google.co.ie . [+] Google.co.nz . [+] Yahoo.com Same way clicking Google.com or Yahoo.com or Ask.Jeeves shows you the following hierarchy on the requested page with higlight/bold/colored the link we just selected. i.e. Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [+] Google.com . [+] Yahoo.com Any time clicking on the menu takes me to some page but on that page I want to show th hierarchy of the menu all the way to which is recently clicked with different color setting.

Also not sure if it's correct, but I can worry about that later. link: The Page Hi all, I've got a horizontal menu that is working just fine in every browser but IE 6 and 7. In IE it's almost there, except that the submenus will only appear one level deep. The menu is created with nested lists. The :hover functionality is simulated via JavaScript for IE 6. The IE developer toolbar shows the 3rd level menu is correctly being changed to display: block when its parent is hovered, and the border the dev toolbar draws even puts it in the correct place, it just doesn't actually appear. You can find the page he http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/ The CSS and JS (uses jQuery) can be found he http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/css/screen.css http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/css/ie.css (loaded with a conditional comment) http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/js/tdps.js http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/js/ie.js (loaded with a conditonal comment) For a specific example of what I'm talking about, try hovering over the second item, Filters & Parts. This will give you another level with four choices. Each of those also has child elements, but when hovered over, the next level doesn't appear. Try it in something other than IE 6 or 7 to see how it's supposed to look. Thanks very much in advance! I working on a CSS to display a round-shouldered-tab menu. My result is acceptable: http://rickduley.webs.com/roundShoulderTabMenu.jpg except for the fact that the tabs are set below the menuBar on which the are supposed to display. I have run out of ideas. Would someone please set me on the right path? Thanks. P.S.: the code is at http://rickduley.webs.com/roundShoulderTabMenu.zip.kgb - you have to delete the 'dot key gee bee' suffix. Hi all, I'm having an issue with a drop down menu and have been beating myself up trying to figure it out. If I position the menu as relative it works when I resize the page/browser but it screws up the layout of the page (I put the <div> code right below the menu images to get it lined up but it throws the layout way off). By works I mean the menu will open right below the "Company" menu item regardless of browser size. Positioning the menu using absolute, it doesn't move if I resize the browser, etc. but it doesn't screw up the layout of the page. So my question is, how can I get this menu to always be under the correct menu option? You can use the link below to view my test page. The page is currently using absolute positioning and the coordinates are off since I was playing with the various positioning schemes. http://www.info-adv.com/test/css Any insight/help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. If you need me to elaborate or better explain my problem please let me know. Thanks, Tim I have been tasked with building a CSS drop down menu system. I have worked out I can use a hover event to invoke the drop-downs (and hide them again). However. How would I invoke one and keep it visible if they went down to the sub-menu rather than just disappearing because they left the element the hover is applied to? How easy is it to create one of these where when you hover over a link a menu appears underneath? Hi, I have this drop down menu, but the parents are appearing under each other, instead of next to each other. I am trying to create a horizontal menu with sub items appear under the parent items. this is my code: PHP Code: #menu2 { width: 800px; float:left } #menu2 ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 12em; float: left; } #menu2 a, #menu2 h2 { font: bold 11px/16px arial, helvetica, sans-serif; display: block; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #ccc #888 #555 #bbb; margin: 0; padding: 2px 3px; } #menu2 h2 { color: #fff; background: #000; text-transform: uppercase; } #menu2 a { color: #000; background: #efefef; text-decoration: none; } #menu2 a:hover { color: #a00; background: #fff; } #menu2 li {position: relative; float:left; width: 200px;} a.mainlevel{background-color: #000000!important; display:inline-block} #menu2 ul ul { position: absolute; z-index: 500; float:left } #menu2 ul ul ul { position: absolute; top: 0; } div#menu2 ul ul, div#menu2 ul li:hover ul ul, div#menu2 ul ul li:hover ul ul {display: none;} div#menu2 ul li:hover ul, div#menu2 ul ul li:hover ul, div#menu2 ul ul ul li:hover ul {display: block;} Can anyone see anything wrong? Many thanks I'm playing around with CSS for the first time and have created a drop down menu that I would like to use for a site I have so any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I've placed the menu on its own page at h t t p : / / aztechnogeek . somee . com / cssmenu . html for accurate coding (just view source). - sorry as a new user I guess I can't post hyperlinks. What I would like to know how to do is when the cursor is moved down a menu list why the top hover attribute does not stay active??? Confusing I know but when you see the working menu you'll understand - I hope. Any help would be great, thank you!!! I have a horizontal menu that drops vertically when you hover over a menu item. In IE7, the menu hides behind images making it invisible if it drops in a spot where an image is at. I haven't been able to find the answer to my problem, so I'm hoping someone here is familiar with this issue. I should mention it works in Firefox, but I haven't tested any other browsers. First let me start of with this for doing all this work for my drop down menu and then finding out that IE6 (apparently 50% of people browsing) doesn't support :hover except on anchor tags. Here is my situation. I finally got my drop down menu working. However, there are three issues. when I hover over the 'companies' menu item 1) the menu expands and pushes the 'blog' and 'contact' menu items further down the menu. I will say that I did not define a width on the li tags because this is actually for a wordpress theme and I wanted to allow for more pages that might be added later. I thought that by defining a width I would be more likely to fill up my menu container. 2) the child/nested li tags aren't under the parent li tag. Basically the sub-menu items show up to the bottom and right of the 'companies' menu item. I want them to show up directly underneath the parent menu item. 3) the longer sub-menu items (nested li tags) are not showing up on the same line. It's like there is a width that is causing them to overlap or go down to the next row. Not sure if that makes sense. I am wanting it to appear on one line no matter how long the menu item is. I am sure that not defining a width on the li tags have something to do with some of these problems but I wanted others to take a look at it. Code(validated) and styles below. Tried to keep it simple. there are two img files that I use as well but couldn't figure out how to upload those. Any and all help from the CSS gurus will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if I am re-posting something that has been asked before. I am trying to add a drop down menu to a website I am working on, the menu works great in all browsers except IE7 (I haven't tried anything earlier). In IE7, when I hover over the menu items they show the selections like they are supposed to, but when I move the cursor to select an item from the drop down it disappears. I've tried many different things, but can't seem to get anything to work. Any help would be much appreciated.

I want to be able to set the width of the menu and don't want the width to be dependant of size of the menu option. This is the XHTML code (I am using 1.0 strict): <div class="option"> <form name="navigation"> <select name="selectname" SIZE="1"> <option class="">not wide enough</option> <option class=""></option> <option class=""></option> <option class=""></option> </select> </form> </div> And the CSS part: div.option { position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 0px; width: 520px; height: 50px; z-index: 3; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; } What I would really like is to set the menu width to preffered (in pixels) and not as wide as the phrase "not wide enough" makes it.

Mainly came on here to get help with my nav bar. It works perfectly in FF and IE 8.07+, but the problem it with IE8.06, where it doesn't show at all. Not too worried about pre-8.06, only a small amount of my page hits comes from below that version. I've spent ages looking for a problem, but can't find where I've went wrong. There's may be some superfluous stuff in there that I've added to try and fix the problem.. Please help? =) ------------------------ Code: #PageList1 ul { height: 1.5em; overflow:hidden; margin: 10px -10px 5px; width: 100%; padding: 10px; background-image:url('http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WKkxGKrRVcw/TbFWFn_2VxI/AAAAAAAAAis/NKf1k3sO9A8/s1600/nav_bg2.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-x; } #PageList1 li { height: 1.5em; list-style-type:none; float:left; } #PageList1 li a { display:block; height: 1.5em; width:auto; clear:left; font-weight:bold; font-size:9pt; line-height: 0.5em; margin: -9px 0px -23px; color: #ffffff; background-image:url('http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vhqPwC7csIg/TSUQG6Q3tfI/AAAAAAAAAYU/5ceiGi8na3s/s1600/gradient40px.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-x; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; padding: 10px 10px 15px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-right: 0px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 0px solid #ccc; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; -moz-border-radius: 5px; border-radius: 5px; -moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000; -webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000; box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000; } #PageList1 li a:hover, #PageList1 li a.sfhover { background:transparent; font-weight:bold; color: white; } #PageList1 li ul { left: -999em; position: absolute; width: 13em; /* Width to help Opera out */ height: auto; background-color: #ccc; colour:#fff; clear: left; } #PageList1 li:hover ul, #PageList1 li.sfhover ul { left: auto; margin: 8px -80px 0px; width: 13em; height: auto; background: #ccc; } #PageList1 li:hover li a, #PageList1 li.sfhover li a { background:#ccc; border: 0px solid #ccc; border-right: 0px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 0px solid #fffccc; -webkit-border-radius: 0px; -moz-border-radius: 0px; border-radius: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 5px 0px 0px; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000; box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000; color: #000; } #PageList1 li li a:hover, #PageList1 li li a.sfhover { background-color: #ccc; color: #fff;} <script type='text/javascript'> sfHover = function() { var sfEls = document.getElementById("PageList1").getElementsByTagName("LI"); for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) { sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() { this.className+=" sfhover"; } sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() { this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover\\b"), ""); } } } if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover); </script> I have created a style sheet drop down menu and it works fine in mozilla and most times in works in ie however sometimes the menu will not drop down in ie but when you hit refresh the menu drops down. any ideas.
