CSS - Hover Hiding A Layer?

I have a drop down menu located at http://www.fieldspianos.com/new/index.php

If you hover over the menu items they turn black and white when you are right on the text but not if you are in the area surrounding it which is what I also need to occur. You can view the source on the page for the html but I will include the css below.

This is the basic layout of the menu:
Code:

<ul>
<li>About Us</li>
     <ul>
         <li><a href="#">Locations</a></li>

etc..etc..etc..


Here is the css:
Code:

/*Begin Content of drop down menu*/
a {
	outline:none;
}

* html div#dropdownmenu ul {
	float: left;
}

* {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}

div#dropdownmenu {
	float: left;
	background-color: #C8C6C6;
		font-size:11px;
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li {
	list-style-type: none;
	float: left;
	background-color: #000000;
	position: relative;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li:hover {
	list-style-type: none;
	background-color: #000000;
}


/*Hides drop downs when not overed over and reveals them when they are hovered over.*/
body div#dropdownmenu ul li ul {
	display: none;
}

body div#dropdownmenu ul li:hover ul {
	display: block;
}



div#dropdownmenu ul li ul {
	margin: 0;
	width: 13em;
	position: absolute;
	left: -1px;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li {
	width: 100%;
	background-color:#bdb35e;
	color: #660000;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
	border-left: 1px solid #000;
	border-right: 1px solid #000;
	padding: 3px;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li:first-child {
	border-top: 1px solid #000;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li:hover {
	color: #FFFFFF;
	background-color: #000000;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li a {
	color: #660000;
	text-decoration:none;
	outline: none;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li a:hover {
	color: #FFFFFF;
	background-color: #000000;
	text-decoration:none;
	outline: none;
}

div#dropdownmenu ul li:hover ul, div#dropdownmenu ul li ul:hover {
	display: block;
}

Any help is greatly appreciated, this seems like it would be a simple fix but I can't figure it out. Maybe I am overlooking some small detail. Thanks!

I have a problem... I have text in a div class "schedule" which is dragged in dynamically. Basically all the headers are in span tags with the style "font-weight:bold" on them. I want to hide all the non-bold text, ie all the text in the div class .schedule that doesn't have a <span> tag around it. Any ideas?

My name is Steven and I wanted to officially introduce myself and see if anyone could help me with a css issue.

I have set the page up and upon checking an item, I want the page to show the form below. I was able to do that but either way it keeps the space where the form is which in fact, it should minimize and maximize the space upon clicking the check item. Instead, the area is still there.

This seems to the only issue that I am unable to resolve and would greatly appreciate it if someone could help.

I have listed the code below as well as attached the css and the page( If images are need, please let me know:

Is there a way to hide part of my css from Firefox but show up in IE?

hi
in Internet Explorer, this style works fine and when i print it prints the div and hides it on screen. however, in firefox, it does not hide the div on screen. can anyone help with this? many thanks

Code:

<style media="print">
.noPrint { display:none;}
.Hidden { display:inline;
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:10px;
}
 
</style>
<style media="screen">
.Hidden { display:none;}
</style> 
 
<div class="Hidden">Just an example of text in a div.<br /><br />Thank you</div>
</p>
<p><input type="button" value="Print this page" onclick="printpage()" /></p>

This is driving me nuts! I've been trying to do the simplest thing for over 3 hours now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's not allowing me to post a link to the site at hand. [myoviedolawyerDOTcom/index2.php]It seems to be working fine in Firefox and Safari, but IE is giving me troubles (as always).

Hello,
So I have a page built that displays correctly in all modern browsers. However in IE6 the right floated div does not float right and throws the page off.

If I could just hide the right and left columns from IE6 it would work fine.

I have tried several bug fixes but nothing so far works.
the page is :
woodbuiltright
com/
test2
php

If it would layout correctly in IE6 with a fix/hack that would be great if not could I just make the right and left divs just not display?

I even tried using some php to redirect IE6 to a different page. I guess I did not insert the php correctly because I could never get it to work.

I would not even support IE6 but I know people who still use it...despite my recommendations.

Just so you know, I have spent hours trying stuff before asking.

Thanks!

Well, I can't post links so this is going to be hard as hell to type out. I have a layer within that page that I want in a certain position, yet when I move the width of my browser the layer does not stay where I want it. Obviousely, this does not make any sense because its something you have to see.

I checked the rules for the forums and I can't find where it states anything about URLs, if someone would be so kind to show me, I'd appericiate it.


Not that it matters witout seeing it on the page but my code for this layer is:

Code:

<div id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:848px; top:85px; width:118px; height:167px; z-index:1">    
	  <div class="mltop">schedule +4hrs </div>
	  <p>00:00 - Music <br>
	    01:00 - Music <br>
	    02:00 - Music <br>
	  03:00 - <a href="">BRR</a></p>
	  <p><b>Current time: 00:00</b><br>
	    Times in CST/CDT
	    <br>
      </p>
	</div>

Hi Guys,

Basically I'm having trouble with getting the 'Content' div layer to wrap around the switching div layers.

The grey background colour represents the 'Content' div layer which wraps around the button menu OK but doesn't wrap around the layers which switch.

The bodged way of doing it is to have a fixed height but then it leaves a blank area underneath the divs that are short of text...If you get what I mean?

Code:

<div id="content_test">
	<div id="rollovercontentwrapper">

		<div id="tabwrapper">
			<ul id="tabmenu">
				<li><p><a href="#" onClick="javascript:showTabContentOne('TabContentOne')">Summary</p></a></li>
				<li><p><a href="#" onClick="javascript:showTabContentTwo('TabContentTwo')">Benefits</p></a></li>
			</ul><!--TABMENU-->
		</div><!--TABWRAPPER-->

		<div id="TabContentOne" class="TabContentOne" style="visibility: hidden">
						<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer lacus risus, 
						porttitor non aliquam non, scelerisque vitae turpis. Duis venenatis nisl lectus, 
						et aliquam eros. Nam commodo, ligula sed ultrices vehicula, justo augue ultricies 
						urna, sed rhoncus nisi dui sed risus. Nullam commodo risus nec justo sagittis eu 
						cursus nisi interdum.</p>
						<br>
						<p>In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Sed vulputate auctor cursus. Morbi ac 
						ullamcorper dui. In sem velit, pulvinar sit amet cursus id, vulputate fringilla

						orci nec arcu. Sed non neque neque, ac pharetra lectus. Donec a massa mauris. Sed 
						vel magna eget tellus commodo placerat in quis risus. Aenean velit lectus, aliquam

		</div><!--TabContentOne-->
		<div id="TabContentTwo" class="TabContentTwo" style="visibility: hidden">

Can anybody help me out on this?

Many thanks,

Hi!

Does anybody have some great link or book advice about all the properties of the DIV and/or LAYER - tags? Inspiring examples with javascript to this are also welcome. I will use it to build advanced layer functionality.

I think actually the trouble lies in my content layer not centering itself correctly and its being pushed to the right by the nav layer. It looks semi what I want it to look like in FF but not in IE. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Hi,

Does anyone knows How I can do this. Please help me. I am new to Css

Hi. Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to cut down on my image sizes on my website: http://toptiertemplates.com, but i am having a few difficulties. I have this table which was created in photoshop which is off to the side. I would like to take just a slice of the table and repeat the image the full length of the table's original length. The page is written by placing everything with divs. I know how to set the image as a background and all and repeat it, however, when i do so, it replaces my website's background and just shows up as a white space.

So i am wondering if I have to use layers of some sort or anything else. I'd appreciate some help. Thanks.

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a side menu, which appears on the right-hand side of the page.

Code:

<style type="text/css">
#SideMenu {
	color: #639;
	background-color: #FBFBFB;
	position: absolute;
	top: 275px;
	left: 630px;
	width: 190px;
	height: 250px;
	}
</style>

However, when the browser window is resized, the layer then obstructs the main content (by floating over it), and does not remain in its place as it should. This is how it should look like::



However, as the browser is resized, the layer does this:



I'm tring to remedy this using CSS only, so please send any suggestions to me. The code for the sidebar is:

Code:

  <div id="SideMenu">
  <p>Side Content. I like to eat food.</p>
  </div>

Any ideas guys?!
