CSS - Multi Tier Drop Down Menu (verticle)
ok, ive had a look on the internet (google) and in this forum, and have been upable to come up with a decent example of a mutli tier drop down menu where the sub menu also has a menu
Currently I am using this code, http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/ PHP Code: echo " <ul id=\"nav\"> <li><a href=\"#\" class=\"bodytext\">Clients</a> <ul> <li><a href=\"http://www.commusoft.co.uk/eheating/forms/addclientcard.php\" class=\"bodytext\">New Customer</a></li> <li><a href=\"http://www.commusoft.co.uk/eheating/forms/addagents.php\" class=\"bodytext\">New Agent</a></li> <li><a href=\"http://www.commusoft.co.uk/eheating/postcodecheck.php\" class=\"bodytext\">Postcode Check</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul>"; this is the javascrip to make it work with IE Code:
<script language="JavaScript">
startList = function() {
if (document.all&&document.getElementById) {
navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
node = navRoot.childNodes[i];
if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
node.onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=" over";
}
node.onmouseout=function() {
this.className=this.className.replace (" over", "");
}
}
}
}
}
window.onload=startList;
</script>
Code:
ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
width: 150px;
height: 18px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
}
ul li {
position: relative;
line-height: 16px;
}
li ul {
position: absolute;
left: 149px;
top: 0;
display: none;
float: left;
}
ul li a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #777;
background: #fff;
padding: 5px;
border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
border-bottom: 0;
height: 1%;
}
li hover ul, li.over ul {
display: block;
}
This is a single tier drop down menu were there are titles and a sub - menu. I was hopeing someone would point me in the direction, or show me where to begin if I want to turn this code into a multi tier drop down menu. Also, if anyone else has used this why does a gap appear between each menu option when hovering over? Any help would not only help me but will supply a decent example for others.. Thanks Similar Tutorialshello. I am currently using a simple horizontal top menu with a vertical drop down. I would like to change the vertical drop down to be horizontal, multi column, and should accomodate more than one line, if possible. The example I'm going for is used as top navigation he nfl - baltimore ravens home page and he ge home page Here is the code I'm using currently (would like it to be all CSS). #### ul#mainNavigation { padding-left:185px; } ul#mainNavigation li { padding:0 16px; float: left; display:inline; position: relative; list-style: none; color:White; _width:1px; } ul#mainNavigation li.Seperator { padding:0px; _width:1px; } ul#mainNavigation li.over { background-color:white; } ul#mainNavigation li.over a { color:Red; } ul#mainNavigation li a { color:White; text-transform:uppercase; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; display:block; } ul#mainNavigation a:hover { color: Red; } ul#mainNavigation li a { display: block; } ul#mainNavigation li p { height:19px; } ul#mainNavigation li ul { display: none; position: absolute; background-color:Black; opacity:.8; filter: alpha(opacity=80); -moz-opacity: 0.8; margin-left:-16px; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul { display: block; z-index:999; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul li { float: none; background:none; border:none; white-space:nowrap; padding:0px; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul li a { color: white; padding:5px; border-bottom:solid 1px black; } ul#mainNavigation li.over ul li a:hover { background: #3d1f6e; color: white; } ~~~~~~~ HTML ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <ul id="mainNavigation"> <li> <p><a href="Mainlink1.html">Mainlink1</a></p> <ul> <li><a href="link2.html">LINK 2</a></li> <li><a href="link3.html">LINK 3</a></li> <li><a href="link4.html">LINK 4</a></li> <li><a href="link5.html">LINK 5</a></li> <li><a href="link6.html">LINK 6</a></li> <li><a href="link7.html">LINK 7</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <p><a href="Mainlink2.html">Mainlink2</a></p> <ul> <li><a href="link2.html">LINK 2</a></li> <li><a href="link3.html">LINK 3</a></li> <li><a href="link4.html">LINK 4</a></li> <li><a href="link5.html">LINK 5</a></li> <li><a href="link6.html">LINK 6</a></li> <li><a href="link7.html">LINK 7</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> #### Thank you, in advance! ~ lahddah 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:

I have one issue left in this context menu: www.webfletch.com/sharing (( Make Sure You Right Click On The Page )) The issue is in Internet Explorer, when you click on the sub-menu or one of the links in the sub-menu. Everything works fine at that point, but when you right-click to bring up the context menu again, the sub-menu comes up showing. Because technically, the css didn't grab the mouseout (Or whatever the opposite of "hover" is.) I attempted to fix this with javascript by placing different variations of different scripts all over the code that made the sub-menu style.display = 'none' However, the javascript made the code permenant. Once it was executed, the sub-menu never showed back up again. I guess javascript out-trumps the "hover" attribute of CSS. Any thoughts? 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.

Any help is really appreciated thanks. 1. top and bottom images are collapsing, i cant get them to display correctly without filling the html with either breaks or text 2. I cant get the images submenuedivider and submenuemarker to display simultaneously when i hover the links in the list. 3. Right now my soltuion to not display the divider image below the last element in the list is through the code: <li><a style="background-image: none;" href="x.html">SOmething</a></li> </ul> However, this also causes the mrker to not be seen above the list element as well, which isn't exactly what I wanted to happen, so what do I do?

I would really like your help on this been trying to do it for weeks now!! Cheers 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 all, I have a test page he test page and here is the code: Code: <body><p> style="background-image: url(redSqr.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 12px; </p> <!-- BEGIN BUSCTR MENU --> <div id="divMenuMain" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; background-color: #a07e33; z-index: 1; width: 658px; height: 147px;"> <div id="divMenuBoarder" style="position: relative; left: 5px; top: 22px; background-color: white; z-index: 2; width: 648px; height: 120px;"> <div id="firstCell" style="background-image: url(bc.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 0px 0px; width: 70px; height: 120px; overflow: hidden;"> <span id="bcSpan" style="vertical-align: middle; width: 60px;">TwoWord Texts</span> </div> </div> </div> </body> The problem is he Code: <div id="firstCell" style="background-image: url(bc.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 0px 0px; width: 70px; height: 120px; overflow: hidden;"> <span id="bcSpan" style="vertical-align: middle; width: 60px;">TwoWord Texts</span> </div> What I am trying to do is get a span to be aligned in the center of my div, so I called vertical-align: middle. I don't think this will work because the parent has to by anonymous for this to work, as I found out he "The following values only have meaning with respect to a parent inline-level element, or to a parent block-level element, if that element generates anonymous inline boxes; they have no effect if no such parent exists." The question is, how can I have a span(or anything, whatever) align vertically center to a div? Thanks for your help, I hope this wasn't too long, CJB I have buttons aligned vertically, but there is to much space. Here's the site so far: http://www.caillouette.com/EoLtest/ How do I fix this? thanks -Sean I working on a CSS to display a round-shouldered-tab menu. My result is acceptable: http://rickduley.webs.com/roundShoulderTabMenu.jpg except for the fact that the tabs are set below the menuBar on which the are supposed to display. I have run out of ideas. 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. Helllo all: I am having difficulty getting a navigation list to display as separate boxes. I get one large box with all the clickable links therein. I want one box with each link place on it. Here is my HTML code for the list: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="hey therel">flight1</a></li> <li><a href=" Eaglesoft">Eaglesoft</a></li> <li><a href="state police"">State Police</a></li> </ul> Here is the associated style rule:#nav{font-family:arial;border-styleutset; padding:10px;list-style-type:none; color:#000066;position:absolute;top:2.5in;left:9in; background-color:#ffff00;width:2.7in;text-align:center;display:block;} Can anyone tell me why this list is being parked in one box rather that three separate boxes. The name of my text editor is CoffeeCup. Please understand that I realize that the above html coding does not creat a link..this forum blocked my links..thanks First let me start of with this for doing all this work for my drop down menu and then finding out that IE6 (apparently 50% of people browsing) doesn't support :hover except on anchor tags. Here is my situation. I finally got my drop down menu working. However, there are three issues. when I hover over the 'companies' menu item 1) the menu expands and pushes the 'blog' and 'contact' menu items further down the menu. I will say that I did not define a width on the li tags because this is actually for a wordpress theme and I wanted to allow for more pages that might be added later. I thought that by defining a width I would be more likely to fill up my menu container. 2) the child/nested li tags aren't under the parent li tag. Basically the sub-menu items show up to the bottom and right of the 'companies' menu item. I want them to show up directly underneath the parent menu item. 3) the longer sub-menu items (nested li tags) are not showing up on the same line. It's like there is a width that is causing them to overlap or go down to the next row. Not sure if that makes sense. I am wanting it to appear on one line no matter how long the menu item is. I am sure that not defining a width on the li tags have something to do with some of these problems but I wanted others to take a look at it. Code(validated) and styles below. Tried to keep it simple. there are two img files that I use as well but couldn't figure out how to upload those. Any and all help from the CSS gurus will be greatly appreciated. Code:

Hi all, I'm having an issue with a drop down menu and have been beating myself up trying to figure it out. If I position the menu as relative it works when I resize the page/browser but it screws up the layout of the page (I put the <div> code right below the menu images to get it lined up but it throws the layout way off). By works I mean the menu will open right below the "Company" menu item regardless of browser size. Positioning the menu using absolute, it doesn't move if I resize the browser, etc. but it doesn't screw up the layout of the page. So my question is, how can I get this menu to always be under the correct menu option? You can use the link below to view my test page. The page is currently using absolute positioning and the coordinates are off since I was playing with the various positioning schemes. http://www.info-adv.com/test/css Any insight/help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. If you need me to elaborate or better explain my problem please let me know. Thanks, Tim How easy is it to create one of these where when you hover over a link a menu appears underneath? Hi, I am working on my site, and was wondering if anyone knew how to do a menu like this http://www.vh1.com/music/ The one on the left in blue.. how it turns to white. I am pretty sure this is done with css. Can anyone tell me how this is done? Thanks Hi, I am trying to make a drop down menu using only CSS. I want to be able to set the width of the menu and don't want the width to be dependant of size of the menu option. This is the XHTML code (I am using 1.0 strict): <div class="option"> <form name="navigation"> <select name="selectname" SIZE="1"> <option class="">not wide enough</option> <option class=""></option> <option class=""></option> <option class=""></option> </select> </form> </div> And the CSS part: div.option { position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 0px; width: 520px; height: 50px; z-index: 3; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; } What I would really like is to set the menu width to preffered (in pixels) and not as wide as the phrase "not wide enough" makes it. Is this possible with CSS. I am rying to avoid Javascript and tables (btw I'm using only divs as much as possible. Can someone point me where to look for this kind of thing. Thanks. I have a horizontal menu that drops vertically when you hover over a menu item. In IE7, the menu hides behind images making it invisible if it drops in a spot where an image is at. I haven't been able to find the answer to my problem, so I'm hoping someone here is familiar with this issue. I should mention it works in Firefox, but I haven't tested any other browsers. I have been tasked with building a CSS drop down menu system. I have worked out I can use a hover event to invoke the drop-downs (and hide them again). However. How would I invoke one and keep it visible if they went down to the sub-menu rather than just disappearing because they left the element the hover is applied to? an oxymoron i know it is... but i need my css menu to not drop down, but rather drop up, setting the tag to a negative top: value isnt working either, as not all the pop-up menu's used are the same height. Any suggestions, or tutorials that you know of? |
