CSS - Expanding/collapsing Menus
I am just being scripting and have been messing with this problem for several hours and still have gotten no where at all so I was hoping for some assistance.
I am attempting to make my stacked links open upon mouseover to display all the sublinks beneath the main ones and then close one the mouse is moved away from that area. I have the main ones working, as that is easy, it is those others that have me stumped. I am using outset and inset boarders to make it appear as if a drawer is being pulled out to reveal the sub-links. Any advice would be great, thank you. Similar TutorialsHi, I want to make something that works like this: dhtmlgoodies.com/scripts/slidedown-menu2/slidedown-menu2.html# (cant post proper urls as I'm new) Whereby each link has a number of sub-links under it, and when you click a main link, the sub links for the previous one shut and the new one opens. But the tutorial on that site is not much help. It just gives you a load of code to copy into your editor, and when I've done that it didn't work anyway. Could someone point me in the direction of a tutorial to do this or let me know what I should be doing, as I can't seem to find anything on how to do it. Thanks! I have designed an expanding menu similiar to the one described he (URL address blocked: See forum rules)/cms/show/66.html. The problem I am having is that I have a lot of menu items, so when it expands, the list of items is greater than the height of the containing element. In Firefox, this is not a problem, because the containing element seems to resize to show all of the items. In IE however, it does not resize. As a result, many of my items have expanded beyond the viewing region of the screen, without me being able to scroll down. Is there any sort of way that I can to fix this, besides writing Javascript to manually change the height of the containing element every time a link is clicked? Hello, I started off trying to find a content box that expands depending on screen res because the last one I made would break in the middle if the users screen res was over 1600px wide. This box worked great with the screen res but now I'm trying to put content in it and my content is not expanding the box down. Instead of pushing the box lower and forcing a scroll bar. The content keeps going down past the bottom of the box and makes a scroll bar. Any idea how I can make the box expand with my content? here is a link to my test page. http://www.gamerunion.com/test.html My css code. Code:

So... I have two versions of this page, one that validates, and another that doesn't. Problem is that the invalid one looks correct! This is because I got the css working before i discovered the invalid code... The offending code involves a nested ul in my nav. The invalid, looking good version looks like this: Code: <ul> li / li / <ul> li / li / </ul> li / </ul> To make it valid, I have to wrap li tags around the nested ul. I've spent gobs of time trying to figure out how to get my styles to work with this new code, but I must be missing something very simple. Here are the urls: invalid & valid Here's the css: Code:
#nav {
width:180px;
background-image:url(/images/moraga_logo.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
float:left
}
#nav ul.l1 {
width:179px;
position:relative;
top:100px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#nav ul.l2 {
width:179px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#nav ul.l1 li {
list-style:none;
border-top:1px solid #FFFFFF;
height:21px;
font-family:geometric, lucida, verdana, sans-serif;
font-size:.8125em;
font-weight:normal;
text-transform:uppercase;
letter-spacing:.125em;
text-align:right
}
#nav ul.l2 li {
text-transform:lowercase;
border:none;
font-size:.6875em;
}
#nav li.active a {
color:#A22B38;
text-decoration:none
}
#nav li.active a:hover {
color:#FFFFFF;
text-decoration:none
}
#nav a:link {
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none
}
#nav a:visited {
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none
}
#nav a:hover {
color:#FFFFFF
}
#nav a:active {
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none
}
Thank, in advance, for your generous help! -BBD This is the first site I have attempted to layout using CSS and have ran into a slight problem that I can't figure out so I am looking to the expertise of others. I have a layout that contains a sidebar (used for sub-nav) and a content area all inside of a wrapper. When there is content in the sidebar all is fine in IE and Firefox; however when I include no content in the sidebar IE looks fine but Firefox collapses the space where the sidebar was and begins the content there. Here are some of the links; Appearing correctly due to content in sidebar: http://www.jaycutler.com/Eumyotheria/the_program/the_program_index.html Appearing incorrectly due to no content in sidebar: http://www.jaycutler.com/Eumyotheria/contact/contact.html The CSS file can be found he http://www.jaycutler.com/Eumyotheria/css/stylesheet.css Any advice that can be offered would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, Brian I thought I had this worked out before with the help of this forum, but it seems to be back again! In IE 6 (and maybe others, who knows. I am running Ubuntu =/ ) there is a big gap between the top horizontal nav and the comic. http://www.jjsunshines.com/ Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'll even trade you php help! the contentWrapper div section collapse prematurely in mozilla, but displays fine in IE. Anyone know why? http://www.mgan.net/work/10-06-04/layout1.html Is there a css rule I don't understand in firefox that IE is overlooking? Hi I have site where I am forced to set my content div <div id="content"> min-height with jquery on each page.Site Link This is because the content div keeps collapsing and ignoring the content it has. Can someone teach me how to fix this please. Hi. Please see the code below. I basically have a two column layout placed inside a container div(id="productDiv"). Each column is floated left, followed by an empty div that is set to clear:both. However, the productDiv collapses over the floated divs in Mozilla. It works as expected in IE. If I place a border on productDiv, it will expand as desired. This seems like buggy behavior for Mozilla. Has anyone ever seen this? Code:

Hi all, I am trying to collapse columns on double click by changing the style visibility of a col class from visible to collapse. Nice idea idea but it is not supported on IE and , although Firefox claims it does, with Firefox doesn't work either. sooo, do you know of any alternative to using the collapse thingie? 'hidden' is not an option as it leaves the space of the column on the table layout. I am checking the display prop now but I am not understanding it very well if it's a solution for me. many thanks in advance. Or really in this case their not collapsing like the should be. I have extra white space above each heading link in the gallery: http://www.sonicparke.com/skydev/gallery/ I'm also guessing that the same issue is causing the whitespace above the single column pages across the site like these: http://www.sonicparke.com/skydev/about.php http://www.sonicparke.com/skydev/about.php But it's weird that it's not happening on these: http://www.sonicparke.com/skydev/news.php I know that the zen.css file is a mess but I plan on cleaning it up a little later once I've worked through figuring out what I need and don't need. Maybe that's part of my problem but I'm still having the issue on the single column pages which don't even use the zen.css stylesheet. Thanks for the help. Hi, I have a border around the content of my page which is limited in width but not height. Some of the pages have more content then others so the height adjusts. I also have a left column and a black background with and image in this column but I have 2 problems 1. In IE I can't seem to get this black column(div) to extend to the full height of the column so that it reaches the border. 2. In Firefox this left column extends all the way down the page and the border doesn't surround the text it sort of collapses The column is left floated and in a div and the content is right floated and in a div as well which is all surrounded by a div with a border. I would appreciate any help that you might offer. Thanks Everyone knows about collapsing margins, but not everyone knows that inline blocks never collapse. So it would appear that IE treats tables as block elements (so margins collapse) and firefox treats them as god-knows-what (but akin to inline elements - so they do not collapse). Now, whether its right or wrong, I want the firefox behaviour - so I tried to display the tables as inline. This fixes IE.... but breaks firefox - the tables "loose" their width parameter so they don't display with correct widths. Does any CSS guru know a nice solution to this dilema (I know a couple of dirty solutions). To elaborate further on what is going in: There are a number of tables one after the other in the normal flow of the document that need to be seperated by certain margins. I've been looking through many, many forums trying to resolve this issue, so please forgive me if there is a solution to this that I've missed. Here's the deal: On some installs of Firefox (4.0), the body is being positioned 28px lower than the top of the screen. I set the <html> tag to have a light blue background to troubleshoot the issue, and now there is a light blue bar across the top of the page, proving that it is the body of the page that is lower than it should be. I thought it was a Firefox "collapsing margin" issue, so I added "margin:0; to almost everything, and it didn't help. I'm trying to do this without having to absolutely position everything. Here's the site: www-dot-myportlandtours-dot-com here's the css: www-dot-myportlandtours-dot-com/wp-content/themes/myportlandtours/style.css Anybody have insight into this? Hi there I have a container DIV that nests 4 DIVs one on top of the next (logo, navigation, content and footer, all the same widths). If there is a single paragraph (or small amount) of text in the content DIV of the page, the page looks fine. However, if there is a large amount of text in the content DIV of the page, the width gets pushed out slightly. IE5 is fine. Firefox and Opera are the problem. Note: I have left the height of the content DIV blank as it will be of varied size. When I set a height of say, 500px, the page looks fine (but because a background colour is needed for the DIV, it doesn't appear as I intended it to). Any ideas to why this is happening? Thanks in advance :-) -Solange. I have started creating a new DIV layout for my website but can't seem to get it to function correctly. I finally got the DIVs to expand with whatever content is in them, but now they will only span to the height of the window and hide the rest of the content instead of expanding further and just making the IE window scroll. Maybe one of you guys can help me out? Here is the test page: well apparently I can't post the url, so I guess I'll just "say" it. juicyart dot net / test.html Hi, I am trying to make a website for a friend that scales to fit most monitors. The website is very image heavy and I have a navigation bar on the left side that lines up with the background on the right. I haven't made a webpage for awhile so I don't know a lot about CSS. This is what I have so far. It almost works, but the background on the right will not expand to fit the full div, only goes up to the content that I put inside the Div. The background also doesn't appear to shrink when I scale the window size. HTML CODE: Code: <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css"/> <title>Test Page</title> </head> <body> <div id="sample-container" align="center"> <div id="header"> <img src="images/header.jpg" width="1647" height="147" / id="headerbar"></div> <div id="nav"> <img src="images/navbar.jpg" width="413" height="776" / id="navbar"></div> <div id="content"> <img src="../../../Pictures/Misc/101_0138.JPG" width="527" height="428" /> </div> <div id="footer"></div> </div> </body> </html> CSS CODE: Code: #header
{
height: auto;
background-color: #666;
}
#nav
{
float: left;
width: 25%;
height: auto;
background-color: #999;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#content
{
float: left;
width: 75%;
height: auto;
background: url(images/mountain.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#footer
{
clear: both;
height: 50px;
background-color: #666;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#headerbar
{
height:auto;
width:100%;
}
#navbar
{
height:auto;
width:100%;
}
If anyone knows a way to expand the background to fill the div and scale down when the div scales is size, that would be great. I was also thinking that maybe I could put the the navigation bar and the background image on the page and not as an background. Put those both in a div and have a floating div on the right aligned over the top of the background that contains the page content. If anyone could give any help with a solution it would be appreciated. Thanks. going bonkers, I have tried everything to find out why on earth the background goes all the way to the right when this page is viewed in IE.. Black Background Not Stoping!! |
