CSS - Css Menu Active Item Not Working??
Hey Guys, was hoping someone could look at my code and tell me what is wrong. My website (http://www.ecbsa.co.za/) refuses to show what page i am on in the menu by highlighting it etc. Here is the CSS:
Code: /* - - - BASIC styles [ MANDATORY ] - - - */ .menu, .menu ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; font-family: arial, Calibri, "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height:1.3em; list-style-type: none; display: block; height:44px; } .menu li { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; display: block; float: left; /* move all main list items into one row, by floating them */ position: relative; /* position each LI, thus creating potential IE.win overlap problem */ z-index: 5; /* thus we need to apply explicit z-index here... */ } .menu li:hover { z-index: 10000; /* ...and here. this makes sure active item is always above anything else in the menu */ white-space: normal;/* required to resolve IE7 :hover bug (z-index above is ignored if this is not present) see http://www.tanfa.co.uk/css/articles/pure-css-popups-bug.asp for other stuff that work */ } .menu li li { float: none;/* items of the nested menus are kept on separate lines */ } .menu ul { visibility: hidden; /* initially hide all submenus. */ position: absolute; z-index: 10; left: 0; /* while hidden, always keep them at the top left corner, */ top: 0; /* to avoid scrollbars as much as possible */ } .menu li:hover>ul { visibility: visible; /* display submenu them on hover */ top: 100%; /* 1st level go below their parent item */ } .menu li li:hover>ul { /* 2nd+ levels go on the right side of the parent item */ top: 0; left: 100%; } /* -- float.clear -- force containment of floated LIs inside of UL */ .menu:after, .menu ul:after { content: "."; height: 0; display: block; visibility: hidden; overflow: hidden; clear: both; } .menu, .menu ul { /* IE7 float clear: */ min-height: 0; } /* -- float.clear.END -- */ /* -- sticky.submenu -- */ .menu ul { background-image: url(empty.html); /* required for sticky to work in IE6 and IE7 - due to their (different) hover bugs */ padding: 10px 20px 20px 20px; margin: -10px 0 0 -20px; /* background: #fcfcfc;*/ /* uncomment this if you want to see the "safe" area. you can also use to adjust the safe area to your requirement */ } .menu ul ul { padding: 20px 20px 20px 10px;

Otherwise the menu comes up with first link always active before anything has been selected. It looks wrong. Is there anyway around this in css? Thanks, jdl Hi, I have implemented an Apple Style CSS menu however I cannot apply the active state on this. When the current page is displayed, I would like to the button to be highlighted (as if hovering) Can anyone help me please?

I also have a javascript that gets called on hover of the menu items. I would like a different script called for hovering over each menu item (so a different action happens for each item). What is the best way to achieve this? Can I have different styles for the menu items?

I have a horizontal menu which is based on an image that has three layers: unvisited link, hover link, active link. but somehow i cant get my active links to work and cant understand where im making a mistake. you can find php and css codes below. and i appreciate any single comments suggestions. PHP code: Code: <?php $block = ( is_front_page() ? 'h1' : 'div' ); // arguments for wp_list_pages $list_args = k2_get_page_list_args(); // this function is pluggable ?> <?php echo "<$block class='blog-title'>"; ?> <a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/" accesskey="1"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a> <?php echo "</$block>"; ?> <p class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?> <ul id="menu"> <li id="home"><a href=""<?php if(is_home() || is_single() || is_category() || is_tag() || is_author() || is_year() || is_month()) { echo ' class="active"'; }?>>home</a></li> <li id="archives"><a href="?page_id=2"<?php if(is_page('archives')) echo ' class="active"'; ?>>archives</a></li> <li id="news"><a href="?page_id=35"<?php if(is_page('news')) echo ' class="active"'; ?>>news</a></li> <li id="contact" class="last<?php if(is_page('contact')) echo ' active"'; ?>"><a href="?page_id=31">contact</a></li> CSS code: Code: #menu { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: -105px 25px; width: 332px; height: 30px; background: url('images/menu.gif'); position: relative; } ul#menu li { width: 80px; height: 30px; padding: 0 4px 0 0; text-indent: -900px; float: left; } ul#menu li.last { padding: 0; } ul#menu li a, ul#menu li a:visited, ul#menu li a:hover { display: block; width: 80px; height: 30px; background: transparent url('images/menu.gif') no-repeat; outline: none; } ul#menu li#home a, ul#menu li#home a:visited { background-position: 0 0; } ul#menu li#archives a, ul#menu li#archives a:visited { background-position: -84px 0; } ul#menu li#news a, ul#menu li#news a:visited { background-position: -168px 0; } ul#menu li#contact a, ul#menu li#contact a:visited { background-position: -252px 0; } ul#menu li#home a:hover { background-position: 0 -30px; } ul#menu li#archives a:hover { background-position: -84px -30px; } ul#menu li#news a:hover { background-position: -168px -30px; } ul#menu li#contact a:hover { background-position: -252px -30px; } .home ul#menu li#home a, .home ul#menu li#home a:visited, .home ul#menu li#home a:hover { background-position: 0 -60px; cursor: default; } .archives ul#menu li#archives a, .archives ul#menu li#archives a:visited, .archives ul#menu li#archives a:hover { background-position: -84px -60px; cursor: default; } .news ul#menu li#news a, .news ul#menu li#news a:visited, .news ul#menu li#news a:hover { background-position: -168px -60px; cursor: default; } .contact ul#menu li#contact a, .contact ul#menu li#contact a:visited, .contact ul#menu li#contact a:hover { background-position: -252px -60px; cursor: default; } i think the problem may be with the last 4 lines of CSS code because they are related to the active links but dont know how i can find out the problem. thank you for any single suggestions and comments. I am working in Drupal and have a menu with secondary levels. I have coded css on the menu a tag with borders and no background. .primary-menu-inner ul.sf-menu a { color: #FFFFFF; display:block; border-left:1px solid #ffcc33; border-right:1px solid #6f4c23; } I am trying to override the .primary-menu-inner ul.sf-menu li.active-trail .primary-menu-inner ul.sf-menu li.active-trail { background: url(../images/nav.png) no-repeat right -64px; border-bottom:1px solid #a67c52; border-right:1px solid #a67c52; border-left: 1px solid #38230b; visibility: visible; } to where the borders settings on the a tag does not show up on the li.active trail. Any suggestions would be great... Hello, I am working on my HW problem with CSS, it's about rounded and angular corners in menu (active or hover). I can't post picture (not permitted), but probably you know what i mean, rounded corners are created with image and angular are created with padding by CSS. Angular is ready, now i have to do rounded, which is more hard. I have 3 pictures, left rounded side, middle and right rounded side. But i really dont know how to add it to a.active or a:hover elements. Middle picture will be repeated depending on text long, so i can't do 1 picture. Thank you for your help. Hi, I have asp menu in my aspx page. There are 3 menu items. If the user clicks on a menu item, I want to highlight the menu with a different color and by default the other menu items should have another color. So only the currently selected menu, should have the different color, and the other menu items should have the default color. How to achieve this? Thank you I have searched to ... and back and can not find out how to target "leftcolumn" menu item to open in "rightcolumn". Using "ID" tag is not a option since it is already used in menu item string. I have tried every combination but the right one. I hope I have included enough of the script to resolve the problem. <style type="text/css"> } .leftcolumn { position: absolute; top: 26px; left: 0px; width: 200px; height: 600px; text-align: justify; } </style> <div id="dmlinks" style="font:bold 14px Trebuchet MS;color:#000000;text-decoration:none"> <a id="dmI0" href="spartaumc.html" target="rightcolumn">Home</a> <a id="dmI1" href="spartaumc_history.html" target="rightcolumn">History</a> <a id="dmI2" href="location.html" target="">Location</a> </div> </head> <body> <div ="rightcolumn"> </div> </body> Hi, I need to adjust only the 1st link(for 1st menu item) of my main menu. I have used pat pat template and have managed to apply a background image for the first item. Here is the css: Code: #first-suckerfish-vertical{ background:url(../images/menutop.jpg) no-repeat; height:75px; margin-top:-2.5px !important; margin-top:-3px; position:relative; } Now to apply style on the main menu item, i use a.mainlevel. but i cant use the a.mainlevel..coz it will adjust all the links. I need to apply style only to the first link of my menu. I am wondering if there's a way in css to access a class from another class or id. I already have this style(#first-suckerfish-vertical) for the 1st menu item. is it possible now to access the a.mainlevel from it.. Thx I have a CSS menu. How to I remove the RIGHT border for that last link item? I tried a bunch of stuff, I can change the colour of it but I can't seem to get rid of it.

So I have: Code: <html> <body> <div>**MENU**</div> <div><iframe id="contentFrame" src="home.htm"></iframe></div> </body> </html> Clicking a menu item, say "Contact Us", changes the src of the iFrame using: Code: <a href="javascript:document.getElementById('contentFrame').src='ContactUs.htm'">Contact Us</a> The menu is pure CSS, with each item underlining as it's rolled over, and some submenus that show up when hovering. What I'm looking to do is have the selected menu item have a different text color. So when you click "Contact Us", that item will change color and stay that other color while navigating the ContactUs.htm page in the iFrame. Is that even remotely do-able? I saw some examples where you use body classes and id's to match the id of the menu item to the body class of the related page. However, I think that would require loading completely separate pages (with the same menu, header, and footer code). I want to avoid the entire page flickering when changing content. I don't seem to be able to access the body class value of the page being loaded in the iFrame. Is that possible to do? Thanks for any guidance you all could offer. Hi 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 Whats' wrong with this? a:active doesn't seem to work at all: Code: <style type="text/css"> #navcontainer { margin: 5px 0 0 5px; padding: 0; height: 20px; } #navcontainer ul { border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; } #navcontainer ul li { display: block; float: left; text-align: center; padding: 0; margin: 0; } #navcontainer ul li a { background: #000000; width: 80px; height: 18px; border-top: none; border-left: 1px solid #9B9B9B; border-bottom: none; border-right: none; padding: 0; margin: 0 0 5px 0; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #26DC18; font-weight:bold; text-decoration: none; display: block; text-align: center; } #navcontainer ul li a:hover { color: #930; background: #f5d7b4; } #navcontainer ul li a:active { background: #000000; color: #fff0000; } </style> HTML [CODE<div id="navcontainer"> <ul id="navlist"> <li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li> <li><a href="inventory.php">Item two</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item three</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item four</a></li> <li><a href="#">Item five</a></li> </ul> </div> [/CODE] P.S. I just include this menu in a PHP page. We'll that will work iff you put # on the target page but that must not be. Thanks! hi there, I have a website design which is all fine and I'm happy with although when I view the website in ie6 the menu becomes unusable. Any advice on how to hack at the markup etc will be greatly appreciated :-D The domain name is psweb.co.uk also any feedback on the website is welcome :-) Thanks, Paul http://cyclingforpositivity.com/blog/ check this in IE 8 check the tab 'Expedition' it has a drop down. It is working fine firefox, chrome and IE6 but not in IE 8. |
