CSS - Drop Down Menu Links Behaving Strangely
I have a very simple drop down menu that I'm playing around with and trying to make cross-browser.
The drop-down currently looks OK in Mozilla/Firefox. Presently, it does not work in either IE 6 or IE 7. You can see the drop down HERE I have noticed that when you alter the URL in this line of code, inside the href attribute (for example): Code: <li><a href="">Computer Hardware (1)</a></li> ...sometimes the menu will work (or break) in ANY given browser (IE or Mozilla)... Try substituting different values for the href attribute inside the link. Depending on the href value, sometimes the code works, and sometimes it doesn;t (in either IE or Mozilla). Something screwy is going on with the href attribute, but I can;t tell what it is. Any help is appreciated. Similar TutorialsSo, I've got the following CSS code that I use to give a cell a background that aligns to the bottom: Code: td.flag {background: url(images/flag_s.gif) no-repeat center bottom;} td.main {background: url(images/march.gif) no-repeat center bottom;} Unfortunately, only the td.main works as it should. The first entry td.flag doesn't show the image. I have verified that the gif image of flag_s.gif exists in /images/ and I cannot figure out why td.flag won't work when td.main does.... Any ideas? The CSS is syntactically correct. In my html I call td class="flag".... doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated! I'm having a horrible time trying to figure out what is wrong with my dropdown menu. I cannot get it to work as it should in Internet Explorer, though it's fine in Firefox and Chrome. In Firefox, it is perfectly aligned to the center of the navigation bar, but in Internet Explorer, it is not and is elevated towards the top. In FF, there are links that dropdown under a few of the links when you hover over the initial link. This does not happen in IE. However, in both IE and FF, the background of the initial link turns dark green when you hover over it (as it should). Simply, I need the links in Internet Explorer look as they do in Firefox. I've gone through for days and tried to see what's wrong, but I can't think of anything. Here's the menu's CSS: Code: .menu { border:none; border:0px; margin:0px; padding-top: 5px; padding-left: 3px; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 20px; } .menu ul { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; list-style: none; height: 35px; } .menu li { float: left; padding: 0px; } .menu li a { color: #000; line-height: 35px; display: block; padding: 0px 25px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; margin:0px; } .menu li a:hover, .menu ul li:hover a { background: #919d21; color: #000; text-decoration: none; } .menu li ul { background: #919d21; display: none; height: auto; position: absolute; width: 150px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; z-index: 200; /*top:1em; /*left:0;*/ } .menu li:hover ul { display: block; } .menu li li { width: 150px; margin:0px; padding:0px; display: block; float: none; } .menu li:hover li a { background: none; } .menu li ul a { display: block; height: 35px; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 10px 0px 15px; text-align: left; } .menu li ul a:hover, .menu li ul li:hover a { background: #a7b235; border: 0px; color: #000; text-decoration: none; } .menu p { clear: left; } Here's the menu's HTML: Code: <ul> <li><a href="home.html"><img src="/images/icons/house.png" border="0">Home</a> <ul> <li><a href="home.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="createacre.html">Acres</a></li> <li><a href="facilities.html">Facilities</a></li> <li><a href="inventory.html">Inventory</a></li> <li><a href="brand.html">Brand</a></li> <li><a href="shop.html">Shop</a></li> <li><a href="logout.html">Logout</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="corral.html"><img src="/images/icons/world.png" border="0">Atlas</a> <ul> <li><a href="corral.html">Corral</a></li> <li><a href="shows.html">Shows</a></li> <li><a href="trade.html">Giving Center</a></li> <li><a href="jobpage.html">Employment Agency</a></li> <li><a href="store.html">General Store</a></li> <li><a href="searchvets.html">Veterinarian</a></li> <li><a href="traininglinks.html">Training</a></li> <li><a href="bank.html">Bank</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="mbindex.html"><img src="/images/icons/comments.png" border="0">Interact</a> <ul> <li><a href="mbindex.html">Forum</a></li> <li><a href="chat.html">Chatroom</a></li> <li><a href="championshipboard.html">Championships</a></li> <li><a href="onlineusers.html">Online Players</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.paradigmprogrammingllc.com/community/">Community</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="referrals.html"><img src="/images/icons/magnifier.png" border="0">Other</a> <ul> <li><a href="referrals.html">Referrals</a></li> <li><a href="search.html">Search AA</a></li> <li><a href="item_submission.html">Submit Image</a></li> <li><a href="goals.html">Goals</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.rpg.sg/vote.php?id=62">Vote for AA</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="rules.html"><img src="/images/icons/shield.png" border="0">Help</a> <ul> <li><a href="rules.html">Rules</a></li> <li><a href="htmlhelper.html">HTML Helper</a></li> <li><a href="mods.html">Moderators</a></li> <li><a href="privacy.html">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="tos.html">Terms of Service</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="userarea.html"><img src="/images/icons/newspaper.png" border="0">News</a> </li> <li><a href="upgrade.html"><img src="/images/icons/arrow_up.png" border="0">Upgrade</a> </li> </ul> Hello 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.

EDIT:: Simplier way to write the question ^.^ :: When I scroll off the menu/link onto the first link in the submenu it stays, but when I mvoe down to the next item in the submenu it disappears. (My drop down is vertically aligned on the left.) (bits of the code that relate to the menu) PHP Code: .btn1 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 200px; } .btn2 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 240px; } .btn3 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 280px; } .btn4 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 320px; } .btn5 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 360px; } .btn6 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 400px; } .btn7 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 440px; } .btn8 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 480px; } .link1 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 240px; } .link2 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 280px; } .link3 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 320px; } .link4 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 360px; } .link5 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 400px; } .link6 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 440px; } .link7 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 480px; } .link8 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 520px; } .link9 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 560px; } #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; } #nav a { display: block; width: 100px; } #nav li { width: 100px; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; width: 100px; left: -9999px; display: none; top: 0; z-index: 3; } #nav li:hover ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } #nav li:over ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } PHP Code: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn1" src="../mainbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MainBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn2" src="../blogbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="BlogBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link1"><a href=""><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="bMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link2"><a href="#"><img src="../anmbtn.gif" alt="bAnimeBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="#"><img src="../mgabtn.gif" alt="bMangaBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="#"><img src="../gmebtn.gif" alt="bGameBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="#"><img src="../bookbtn.gif" alt="bBookBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img class="btn3" src="../musebtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MuseBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link2"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="mMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../pmbtn.gif" alt="mPoemBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../stybtn.gif" alt="mStoryBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../drmbtn.gif" alt="mDreamBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img class="btn4" src="../oddbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ComicBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="cMainBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBart.htm"><img class="btn5" src="../artbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ArtBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="aMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="aRecentBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../gaibtn.gif" alt="aGaiaBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img class="btn6" src="../picbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="PicsBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="pMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="pRecentBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBfaq.htm"><img class="btn7" src="../faqbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="FaqBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBcon.htm"><img class="btn8" src="../contactbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ContactBtn"></a> </li> </ul> <script type="text/javascript" src="drop_down.js"></script> the "nav" is referring to a bit of js, and this is in my header. 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! Hi, I'm running into a bit of a problem making the entire page fit into a DIV. I can't see any reason why it won't, because as far as I know my div's are in the right place, and in the right file (because the effect is half-there. Here's my code: CSS Code: html { scrollbar-face-color: #ADDFE7; scrollbar-highlight-color: #ADDFE7; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #ADDFE7; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #ADDFE7; scrollbar-shadow-color: #ADDFE7; scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000; scrollbar-track-color: #ADDFE7; overflow:hidden; } body { background: #FEFFED; font-family: 'Verdana', 'Arial', sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #000000; cursor:default; margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow:hidden; } div.center { /* Make element float in the center */ position: absolute; left: 50%; top: 50%; /* Set the width and height */ width: 750px; height: 410px; /* Set margin to half the values of width/height */ margin-left: -375px; margin-top: -205px; } div.rect { background: #ADDFE7; padding: 0px; width: 750px; height: 410px; overflow:auto; border: 1px solid #000000; z-index: 1; } Now what we're concerned about there (the ones I added) are the 'center' div , and 'rect' div. They're near the top. and this is a 'View source' to show where I put the code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>form one : shop</title> <meta name="keywords" content="form one, merchandise, t-shirts, cds Congratulations!

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.

Anyone know what's going on here? Code: html, body{ background-color:#AFC4E2; background-image:url(bgmew.jpg);background-position: top center; background-repeat:repeat-x; color:#234; font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size:100%; text-align:center; } a{ font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size:90%; color:#678; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; background:inherit; } a:hover, a:active{text-decoration:underline;} p{ font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size:90%; font-weight:normal; color:#234; background:inherit; } #container{ width:760px; height:auto; background-color:#FFFFFF; color:#234; border:2px solid #999; padding:10px; margin: 50px auto; text-align:left; } (URL address blocked: See forum rules)/erwinsample/ Thanks for any help you can give me. I just can't seem to figure this out! it is driving me nuts! The page I am working on is he http://www.iskippedlunch.com/z_test/index_2.php and the style sheet is he http://www.iskippedlunch.com/z_test/styles/shfb_basic.css I am using php to import sections into the page. For some reason when I include the Client Story (blue) section on the homepage all the content in the green sidebar gets pushed way down the page in a couple versions of IE6. I have narrowed the problem down to this area of code, it is the only part that makes the page go wonky. I even rewrote the CSS, but I must be missing something. The lower levels of the site are based on this home page, and have the same problem if the main (white) content is long. You can see how some have the problem and some display correctly. Help will be greatly appreciated, my eyes are getting crossed! PS, on some of the lower level pages, the (orange)footer background creeps up the page! This is new! Well I have this code for my menu
Code: div.menu{ align-text: center; float: left; background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #000000; border-top:0.1em solid #000000; border-right:0.1em solid #000000; border-bottom:0.1em solid #000000; height: 500px; width: 150px; } But It doesnt center the links. Here is the out put http://blacknine.dajoob.com/hhd/ Hi all, I could use some help here as I am rather clueless about CSS. I took a basic menu code and have edited it a bit for my site, but I am having an issue here. The menu shows a simple background per line as well as a top graphic and bottom graphic for the top and bottom (duh). If I have one link per line, all is fine, but I am trying to fit 7 links on one line, each link being a single letter. I want it to look like this: Browse by Letter: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z But when I add more than one link inbetween the <li>'s, it puts each link on a separate line. Here is the css, can anyone help me figure out what to change to allow multiple links on each line?

It works fine except when you hover over the items, the drop-down tabs are out of alignment. I'm not code-savvy enough to know how to make them drop straight down or how to move them so they look nicer, but I'm guessing someone here could help me out in that regard. How can I edit the code (shown below) or whatever else to make the drop-down tabs look better aligned with the menu items?

Any suggestions, or tutorials that you know of? Hi all, I am trying to style a drop-down menu. I'd like the hover state to have a transparent cut out on the menu... and the bottom of the drop down to be rounded. Probably makes more sense in the picture... which I am apparently not allowed to post. grrr. So think little triangle, but instead of being a different color, it is a transparent cut out. I've been banging my head into the keyboard for a couple of hours and can't seem to find the right way to tackle this. The problem is compounded by some of the menu items not have submenus. I'd like those to hover as if they were the bottom link in the drop down... ie, a notched edge and rounded bottom border. I would really appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction here. Many thanks, -helga 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!!! |
