CSS - Floating Menu Not Working In Ie
Hi All,
I have a site PHP Code: hopevalleycamp.com which features a three box floating menu over a single background image. The menu "works" in Firefox and Safari, but not in IE8. I'm not sure if there is a"fix" I can apply for IE or not. The code for the menu css can be viewed here... PHP Code: * { font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; } .yuimenubar { position: static; visibility: visible; } .yuimenu .yuimenu, .yuimenubar .yuimenu { left: -10000px; position: absolute; top: -10000px;

Similar TutorialsI saw this appealing menu from a css contest page and i've studied the code over and over again but i can't seem to get the same effect as this person has done. He has created a menu that just floats while the screen is able to scroll up and down. the site is : http://contest.prestontalk.com/index/FluidFixed/0/4/1/ if anyone knows how this effect is done, let me know. thanks! hey I am trying to get this sub menu floating on the rollover of a list item. Here's my HTML: Code: <body> <div id="banner"> </div> <div id="leftmenu"> <ul> <li>List 1</li> <li><a href="">List 2</a></li> <li><a href="">List 3</a> <ul> <li><a href="">List 3.1</a></li> <li><a href="">List 3.2</a></li> <li><a href="">List 3.3</a></li> <li><a href="">List 3.4</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="">List 4</a></li> <li><a href="">List 5</a></li> <li><a href="">List 6</a></li> <li><a href="">List 7</a></li> <li><a href="">List 8</a></li> <li><a href="">List 9</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="maincontent"> CONTENT </div> </body> and this CSS: Code: #leftmenu { position: absolute; margin: 0px; top: 120px; left: 0px; width: 147px; height: 800px; background-color: #cccc66; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; } ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; } ul li { color: #FFFFFF; display: block; background-color: #FF0000; margin-bottom: 1px; text-align: right; font-weight: bold; } ul li a { text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF; } ul li a:hover { color: #000000; } ul li ul { display: none; position: absolute; top: 200px; left: 100px; } #maincontent { position: absolute; z-index: 0; left: 147px; top: 120px; height: 381px; width: 100%; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 10px; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px; background-color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; } so yeah, I am struggling at this point, I have looked at a reference that someone gave me last time I brought up the issue, but can't get it working, if you can spot why, help would be appreciated, not having much luck, thinking maybe a syntax thing(?), not sure...HELP!! kr. I want to create a menu that will float on the side of my page and stay in the same position on the screen as the user scrolls down. Is this done with CSS, Javascipt, or a little bit of both? thanks. I have seen this done but can't find any examples at the moment, but what I am looking to emmulate is have a page that required vertical scrolling. On either the left or right hand side is (for example) a square image and directly below it is a menu. When the user scrolls down the page the image goes off the top but the menu sticks to the top so is always visable. When the user scrolls back up as soon as the image starts to appear it pushes the menu back down so it is sat below the image. If i used position:fixed I can keep the menu in the same place when scrolling but I would like it to rise to the top of the browser when space is availble when scrolling. Make sense? I've used divs before and got them to work just fine. I've read previous posts and can't find the answer I'm looking for because it seems so basic. But here is my problem. I simply can't get the divisions to float left or right. They just sit on top of one another. Here is my style sheet code: Code: #container { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 800px; } #header { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: Blue; } #menu { background-color: Gray; float: left; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 140px; } #content { float: right; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 650px; } #footer { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 800px; } and my HTML: Code: <div id="container"> <div id="header" align="center"> <!-- #INCLUDE VIRTUAL="includes/example_header.aspx" --> </div> <div id="midsection" align="center"> <div id="menu"> <!-- #INCLUDE VIRTUAL="includes/example_menu.aspx" --> </div> <div id="content"> <!-- #INCLUDE VIRTUAL="includes/example_common_content.aspx" --> <p> Garbage. </p> </div> </div> <div id="footer" align="center"> <!-- #INCLUDE VIRTUAL="includes/example_footer.aspx" --> </div> </div> Thanks in advance for your help. See the image at http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x205/vitainf/IEhelp.png - having trouble to get it showing the image with the bbcodes :S As you can see the menu to the right, which is known as '.sidebar' in the css followed below, is sort of pushing the main content, which is known as .content in the css below, down. Anyone has any idea how to fix this? Style Sheets Code: body { text-align: center; background: #800000; color: #fff; } * { padding: 0; margin: 0; } div#container { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 700px; text-align: left; } #spacer { height: 50px; } #header { height: 100px; width: 100%; background: url(ctfiles/logo.png) no-repeat top center #000; } #container { background: #fff; padding: 10px; } #main { background: #000; color: #fff; width: 700px; } .sidebar { float: right; text-align: right; background: #000; color: #fff; width: 30%; padding-left: 8px padding-right: 12px } .content { color: #fff; background: #000; width: 70%; margin-left: 2px; margin-right: 2px } HTML/Template/PHP w/e Note: It's a template for the MODx CMS, which explains some of the calls like [(site_name)].

It is working fine firefox, chrome and IE6 but not in IE 8. 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 Hello, and thanks so much in advance for any assistance you could offer. Let me start by stating that I have limited computer knowledge. I'm having problems with a drop-down menu, but if you really don't think the drop-down menu is good (I got it from somewhere else and then tweaked it through guess-and-check work), then I'll listen if you can recommend me a better one. But I'm afraid to spend the high amount of hours it would take me to switch to a different type of drop-down menu, only for someone else to tell me the new one isn't good, so please don't suggest an alternative unless you're positive it's much better. The problem with my drop-down menu is that it doesn't work well in IE9. Note that it's designed to work when you hover over an image, as opposed to over text, and I'd like to keep it this way. The problem is that only the first item on the first drop-down level appears in IE9. Or, if you're in compatibility view, everything works except the margin or padding seems to throw off the background-color highlight when you hover over with your cursor, instead of highlighting the whole item it just gives a bar of highlight at the top of the item. I'm not overly concerned about the highlighting issue, but I realize many people won't have compatibility mode on in their browsers, so it won't work for them at all. Here is the CSS code for the drop-down menu, followed by an example of it in use: Code: ul#css3menu,ul#css3menu ul{ list-style:none;border-width:0px;} ul#css3menu ul{ display:none;position:absolute;98%;right:1px;-moz-box-shadow:0.7px 1px 1px #777777;-webkit-box-shadow:0.7px 1px 1px #777777;box-shadow:0.7px 1px 1px #777777;background-color:#FDFCDC;padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;border:1px solid #0D0D0D;} ul#css3menu li:hover>*{ display:block;} ul#css3menu li:hover{ position:relative;background-color:transparent;} ul#css3menu ul ul{ position:absolute;top:-2px;right:100%;} ul#css3menu{ display:block;font-size:0;float:left;} ul#css3menu li{ display:block;white-space:nowrap;font-size:0;float:left;} ul#css3menu>li,ul#css3menu li{ margin:0;} ul#css3menu ul>li{ margin:0;} ul#css3menu a:active, ul#css3menu a:focus{ outline-style:none;} ul#css3menu a{ display:block;text-align:right;font:bold 15px "arial narrow";color:#FF0000;background-color:#0D0D0D;border-width:0px;border-style:none;} ul#css3menu ul li{ float:none;margin:0;} ul#css3menu ul a{ text-align:right;padding:3px 0px 3px 0px;background-color:#0D0D0D;border-width:0px;border-style:none;font:bold 15px "arial narrow";color:#FF0000;padding-right:6px;padding-left:6px;} ul#css3menu li:hover>a{ background-color:#FFFF99;border-style:none;font:bold 15px "arial narrow";color:#FF0000;} ul#css3menu span{ display:block;overflow:visible;} ul#css3menu ul li:hover>a{ background-color:#FFFF99;border-style:none;font:bold 15px "arial narrow";color:#FF0000;} ul#css3menu._>li>a{ padding:0;} So here is an example of the drop-down menu. This is only part of it, as the whole thing is very long. I think you can understand how it works like a tree, but let me know if you want more details. Code: <div style="position:absolute; top:53px; right:130px; z-index:6;"> <span class="menu"><ul id="css3menu"> <li class="toplast"><span><a class="noyellow" href="http://www.themetaldiscourser.com/aggregator/index.php"><img src="http://www.themetaldiscourser.com/images/menulink-aggregator-2.png" style="filter:alpha(opacity=90); opacity:0.90; width:123px; height:18px;"></a></span> <ul> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="http://www.themetaldiscourser.com/aggregator/business-career-and-technology-index.php">Business, career & technology</a></span></a> <ul> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/accolades.php">Accolades</a></span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/charity.php">Charity</a></span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/instructional.php">Instructional</a></span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/legal-controversy.php">Legal controversy</a></span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/miscellaneous-business-and-career.php">Miscellaneous business and career</a></span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/live-performance.php">Live performance</a></span></a> <ul> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/incidents.php">Incidents</a></span></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/marketing.php">Marketing</a></span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/popularity.php">Popularity</a></span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/technology.php">Technology</a></span></a> <ul> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/instrumentation.php">Instrumentation</a></span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/internet.php">Internet</a></span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/production.php">Production</a></span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/radio.php">Radio</a></span></a> <ul> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/internet-radio-stations.php">Internet radio stations</a></span></a></li> </ul> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/video.php">Video</a></span></a></li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/video-games.php">Video games</a></span></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/stores.php">Stores</a></span></a> <ul> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/store-reviews.php">Store reviews</a></span></a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="http://www.themetaldiscourser.com/aggregator/genre-qualification-and-discourse-index.php">Genre qualification & discourse</a></span></a> <ul> <li><a href="#"><span><a href="/aggregator/academia.php">Academia</a></span></a> I then bring in this drop-down menu on every page with: Code: <?php include("header.html"); ?> I'm really so grateful for any suggestions. I recall the drop-down menu had problems in earlier versions of IE, which I managed to fix thanks to the help of others, so I though the problems were settled. I definitely don't have enough knowledge to fix this on my own, but if you truly believe I should switch to a new type of drop-down menu then I'm very willing to take your advice about that and put in the work. Ideally I already have a good drop-down menu that just needs to be tweaked, but hey, who knows. PS - I do have this at the top of my page, which in similar situations I see is often cited as being the problem if it's missing: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> Hi, I'm totally new to css so all help appreciated First, here's my site: www. hornet .edu .hk /dev As you can probably see, I'm trying to edit a template for joomla.

It works it its own .htm document when i was developing it but once I stick it in to a pre-existing page, it won't function. Thanks in advance! Greetings, I sure would appreciate some help integrating a css dropdown menu into a site. If you visit www.mts-diesel.com in FF, the drop down works find, If you open it in IE9 the dropdown does not work, BUT if you open this page www.mts-diesel.com/menu.html in IE9 the dropdown works. This leads me to think that it might be some type of z-index issue perhaps but I cant put my finger on it. Thanks for any help.

I'm experimenting with the "MyGosu" menu (the drop-down menu at the top of the page) inside of the default Mambo template. See my efforts he http://www.mediamogulsweb.com/client/Mambo/ The menu works fine in Mozilla/Firefox, but is failing in IE6 and IE7... In IE, the pop-out submenus don;t appear...But I'm thinking that they actually do appear, but are being obscured by the header image (or something else?)....So I adjusted the z-index of the header image div to "1", but that didn;t do the trick... What is going on here? Any ideas are appreciated... Hi, I was about to put my new website online when I noticed that our CSS drop-down menu no longer works in Internet Explorer. The site is built off some software that we bought (a billing system called AWBS). When I got our template up and running on it, the menu worked fine in IE. Today I did some upgrades to the software, which included changing some of the templates around. I was careful to not disturb much in my template files, however it seems that I have, and I have no idea what. You can see the site at http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/testpage.php . The menu works fine in FireFox, and previously worked fine in IE before I upgraded. All the CSS for the menu can be found at http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/temp...es/css/menu.css . The code for the menu is: Code: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/index.php">HOME</a> </li> <li><a href="#">WEBHOSTING</a> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/hostingoverview.php" class="menuitem">Overview</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/hosting.php?spt=1" class="menuitem">Shared Hosting</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/hosting.php?pt=r" class="menuitem">Reseller Hosting</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/specials.php" class="menuitem">Specials</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">DOMAINS</a> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/check.php" class="menuitem">Register Domain</a></li> <li><a href="pricing.php" target="_blank" onClick='window.open("http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/pricing.php","pricing","width=700,height=300,status=yes,scrollbars=1,resizable=1");return false;' class="menuitem">Domain Prices</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/transcheck.php" class="menuitem">Transfer Domain</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/whois.php" class="menuitem">Whois Lookup</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">SERVICES</a> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/webdesign.php" class="menuitem">Web Design</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">ACCOUNT</a> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/cart.php" class="menuitem">My Cart</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/welcome.php" class="menuitem">My Account</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/helpdesk.php?search=open" class="menuitem">Support System</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/tos.php" class="menuitem">Terms of Service</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/LogOut.php" class="menuitem">Log Out</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.estyles.com.au/awbs/admin/adminwelcome.php" class="menuitem" target="_blank">Admin</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> The HTML is messy and I have no idea where to start looking for the problem. The header and footer on the page both changed during the upgrade but the main content (everything inside the body tags) did not, so I suspect that the problem does not lie within the main content area. If someone could at least point me in the right direction then I would greatly appreciate it, thanks Hi, I am trying to make a dropdown menu by using only CSS and no Javascript. Here is my HTML Code: <ul id="nav"> <li> <a href="/family-flowers.html"><span>Family Flowers</span></a> <ul> <li> <a href="/family-flowers/anniversary-flowers.html"><span>Anniversary Flowers</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="/family-flowers/birthday-flowers.html"><span>Birthday Flowers</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="/family-flowers/christmas-bouquets.html"><span>Christmas Bouquets</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="/family-flowers/new-baby.html"><span>New baby</span></a> </li> </ul></li> <li class="level item-2 nav-congratulation"> <a href="/congratulation.html"><span>Congratulation</span></a> </li> <li class="level item-3 nav-corporate"> <a href="/corporate.html"><span>Corporate</span></a> </li> <li class="level item-4 nav-get-well"> <a href="/get-well.html"><span>Get Well</span></a> </li> <li class="level item-5 nav-love"> <a href="/love.html"><span>Love Bouquets</span></a> </li> <li class="level item-6 nav-mixed"> <a href="/mixed.html"><span>Mixed</span></a> </li> <li class="level item-7 nav-monthly"> <a href="/monthly.html"><span>Monthly</span></a> </li> <li class="level item-8 nav-funeral"> <a href="/funeral.html"><span>Funeral</span></a> </li> <li class="level item-9 nav-window"> <a href="/window.html"><span>Window plants</span></a> </li> </ul> and this is my CSS Code: #nav { list-style:none; margin:0; padding:0; width:150px; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; left: 149px; top: 0; display: none; } #nav li a { display: block; text-decoration: none; color: #777; background: #fff; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 0; } /* Fix IE.

I am using the following code and it works if I put it in the head, but doesn't work if I put it in an external style sheet. I know I am sleep deprived but am I missing something simple? .m_isabel { display: block; width: 175px; height: 20px; background: url("jpg/m_isabel.jpg") no-repeat 0 0; } .m_isabel:hover { background-position: 0 -20px; } .m_isabel span { display: none; } In body: <a href="#" class="m_isabel" title="Isabel"><span>F.
