CSS - Suckerfish Menus - Ie Float Issue?
Hello my helpful comrades,
I'm having some problems with the ol' Suckerfish in IE. It seems the second list is floating left, insead of appearing beneath the first list, and "clear:" won't fix it. I've been looking over the CSS all morning, but can't seem to locate the problem. The menus display perfectly in Fx. I have a feeling a lack of sleep is making me mildly stupid, but the slow progress thus far has driven me to seek help I've put the menu in a seperate .css file from the main layout to make it easier to read: CSS HTML Cheers! Similar Tutorialshttp://www.sdtars.com/development/ I can't figure out why I can't get them to popup over the other menus. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? Thanks! Suckerfish came into my life recently and has not only offered a great deal of freedom with dynamic menus at lower overheads than most (totally) Javascript alternatives, but has also had me tearing hairs out more frequently than most other things I know. The problem I currently face is when viewing my menus in IE6. At first this suggests that the issues lie within the Javascript of the Suckerfish menus... The pages in questions are located at the following addresses (please excuse the mid-construction state of each): www.cheapboilers.com/sandbox/index.html www.cheapboilers.com/sandbox/baxi_105.html Take the grey vertical menu on the left hand side. The first level appears fine, but the problem is with the second level. In index.html all appears well. However in baxi_105.html when moving down the list in the second level menu the menu disappears when moving from the first to the second item. At first I thought the problem was to do with the margins surrounding the elements - I thought the li element had detected the mouse as having left the element as it passed over the border. If this were true then the same would happen with the index.html page (which uses the same code/html/css). It does not. My current theory is that the other elements on the page are somehow interfering with the Suckerfish menus. Index.html has nothing but text in the content of the page. baxi_105.html has images, links etc in it. This theory is backed up by going to the bottom list item in index.html (Worcester) and viewing the second level menu for it. The menu vanishes as with all the menus on baxi_105.html. It is as if the footer of the page is interfering with the operation of the menus. This disappearing menu issue is driving me up the wall. Please can someone offer a solution? Thanks in advance. Andy I want to make the drop downs on suckerfish menus appear horizontally rather than vertically. Any ideas how to? PHP Code: <style type="text/css"> #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; background-color: red; color: #000; } #nav a { display: block; width: 10em; color: #FFF; } #nav li { float: left; width: 10em; background-color: green; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; width: 10em; left: -999em; } #nav li:hover ul { left: auto; } #nav li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul { left: auto; } </style> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="#">Percoidei</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Remoras</a></li> <li><a href="#">Tilefishes</a></li> <li><a href="#">Bluefishes</a></li> <li><a href="#">Tigerfishes</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Anabantoidei</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Climbing perches</a></li> <li><a href="#">Labyrinthfishes</a></li> <li><a href="#">Kissing gouramis</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pike-heads</a></li> <li><a href="#">Giant gouramis</a></li> </ul> </li> <!-- etc. --> </ul> I thought I could change the BLOCK display of the #nav a to INLINE but that doesn't work. We want the dropdowns to appear as 1 2 3 4 5 rather than 1 2 3 4 5 Thanks I am not sure how to centre all items on the suckerfish menus: I thought this would work, but it doesn't and even if it did it won't validate: <ul id="nav"> <div style="text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"> NAV ELEMENTS HERE... </div> </ul> Surely someone has had to centre there suckerfish menu to a fixed width box..or any box for that matter. Was referred to Suckerfish and find it very useful but I cannot figure out how to center the menu line on the screen (inside a table or not). Oddly, it automatically centers in IE but not Chrome or Firefox. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!! I can post an example of what I mean but don't want to violate the new users guidelines. Hi fowks, Normally I'm able to solve CSS issues relatively easily, well with some experimentation at least. However, this one has really got me stumped. Basically, I'm developing a menu for a weblication which is based on the famous Suckerfish menus. Everything works ok in IE and Mozilla when in an Left-to-Right (LTR) environment, but it doesn't work quite so well when the direction is flipped to RTL. IE copes fine, but FF doesn't. The menu works itself, but the viewport doubles in size and scrolls off to the right, even though there are no elements there. Anyone got an idea as to what could be doing this? I've included the relevant files for you to trial. Thanks for having a look. Hope you can help. It's driving me nuts. Cheers, John I have been developing some dropdown menus loosely based on Patrick Griffiths "Suckerfish" example (see http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/) and I have a prototype mostly working. The code is simple and is included in full below. However I see two problems with this that I can't sort out. First, in IE (6.0.2800) the dropdown is offset significantly from the left edge of the upper menu cell. In Mozilla (1.7.5) it's fine. I can't figure out why -- any ideas? I want it right underneath, not offset. Also, in Mozilla the dropdowns have a 1-pixel space at the right edge between the background and the border. Also a mystery ... Thanks for any comments / thoughts. Tom ======================================================== Code:

I'm trying to use suckerfish style drop downs, based on CSS with javascript only for an Internet Explorer hack. It's working fine for a single horizontal row of menus, however I wanted to setup a few rows of other menus underneath the first row. The problem is that the dropdown goes underneath the menus under it and I can't figure out how to fix it. This is an example of the problem. Any suggestions? I'm using a drop down and fly out menu that uses Superfish with a little modified CSS to style it differently. It works just fine in everything but IE7 (even IE6 works!), where the third level menus drop down (incorrectly bumping the rest of the second level menu down in the process) like the second level menus instead of flying out to the right like they're supposed to. I've tried every combination of clear, float, and positioning settings I can think of and none fixed the issue for IE7. Has anyone run into this with Superfish before or see where my mistake is? Thanks very much in advance. Here is the page in question: http://kc-lawyers.einsteinwebsites.com/ Hello i would like to know if there is any hacks or tips to resolve problem in IE6's rendering of Floated Boxes? It seems IE6 add extra padding or margin to some floated element, specially those near the borders of container... How do i get around this? heys all, im having an issue with text that is variable length. i want to float something in the bottom right corner of some text. that something which is floated should have a width of 100px and height of 100px. so for example text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text FLOATED HERE text text text text text text text text text FLOATED HERE text text text text text text text text text FLOATED HERE now the sample text above can be 1 line, or 100 lines. anyone have any ideas? i've been hammering away at this too long Thanks. Hi Guys, Ive got a serious'ish error on a site im responsible for and with it being the period between christmas and new years I cant find anyone to help me. So im coming asking for help with an IE6 error which is occuring on http://social.eyeforpharma.com/ It appears fine in every browser apart from IE6. IE7, FF, Safari etc work fine. With no decent debug tools for IE6 available im stuck. Help REALLY appreciated. Kevin. Edit - The error gets worse when you go to view an article. Hatchetradio.com/radio/ if you check this page it's fine in firefox if you check this page in I.E. the tab on the left hand side actually sits on top of the layout. I'm trying to get it to fit snug. I'm not sure why this is happening. hatchetradio.com/radio/wp-content/themes/reborn/style.css that's the css im using hello. i am making a small, rough bar graph on the left side of my page. when i try it, the bar ends up going to a new line. what i'd like to do is have a colored div fill up 80% or 100% of the rest of the space to the right of the key. here is the code: Code:
<div class="bar_graph">
<div class="key">signed: 8,000</div>
<div class="bar signed" style="width: 80%"> </div>
</div>
...
.signatures {
margin-top: 20px;
}
.signatures .bar_graph {
overflow: auto;
margin-top: 2px;
}
.signatures .key {
float: left;
font-size: 8px;
text-align: right;
width: 40px;
}
.signatures .bar {
float: left;
height: 17px;
}
.signatures .signed {
background: #f3b400;
}
.signatures .goal {
width: 100%;
background: #e58728;

Having one last problem before the site goes beta live... I have rounded divs, and inside is a floated left menu element. If something in the menu expands the round corners pop out of place rather then shift down. Im not sure what to chage. The site is: adventurevalley.ca/jason/programs/prgSwim.cfm If you mouse over the birthday parties link you will see what I mean (IE7 issue). Thanks a mill! I have a section of 3 divs, 1 floated to the left, one to the right and one in the middle. IE 7 & Firefox are fine however in IE 6 it seems to display the left and right columns as a block pushing the middle column down to the bottom. see screenshot, the image is the middle div while the white side parts are the left and right columns. My code is as follows: CSS Code: Original - CSS Code #headerLeft { float: left; background-image: url('/media/images/040708_05.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 20px; height: 323px; } #headerRight { float: right; background-image: url('/media/images/040708_07.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 20px; height: 323px; } #flashMovie { background-color: #FFFFFF; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; width: 730px; }
In this header www.johnschureman.com I have an image, an h1 and a subtitle div. Code: <div id="header">
<img src="../images/jschu-crop150h.jpg">
<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" >:<?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<div id="subtitle">
<!-- Here's the tagline -->
<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>
</div>
</div>
I cannot figure out in my css how to make the subtitle appear below the h1. Code: #header {
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:170px;
padding: 0px;
margin-top: 3px;
/* padding-top:110px;
padding-bottom:10px;
padding-right:20px;
padding-left:5px;*/
border-bottom: 1px solid #bab1b1;
background: #404040;
}
#header img {
float:left;
display:inline;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px 10px;
border:none;
}
#header h1{
display: inline;
float:right;
padding:0px;
margin: 0px;
padding-top:100px;
margin-bottom:3px;
margin-right: 5px;
font-size: 2.4em;
letter-spacing:0.1em;
}
#subtitle {
text-align:right;
font-family:"Century Gothic", "Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Unicode", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
margin-bottom:3px;
margin-right: 5px;
font-size: 0.9em;
text-transform:uppercase;
color:#bbb;
}
Hope this is enough info. I've been playing with clear, position, etc. Help? Thanks in advance. - Willi Ok, I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out a workaround. I then have been searching the web for answers, but can't get any of the solutions to work in this case. Here is a stripped down version of the code: CSS: Code: ul {
list-style: none;
}
li.leftform {
clear: left;
float: left;
text-align: right;
width: 121px;
padding-right: 10px;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Tahoma;
color: #000000;
line-height: 40px;
}
li input {
width: 243px;
height: 18px;
line-height: 18px;
margin: 0;
margin-right: 3px;
}
li.middleform {
float: left;
width: 243px;
padding:8px 0;
padding-right: 10px;
line-height: 18px;
min-height: 24px;
}
li.rightform {
float: right;
width: 168px;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-right: 25px;
line-height: 11px;
}

For some reason the clear: left works on the first element, but an element after goes as if there was never a clear before it. The HTML is like this for a reason, I know you can't see it now because I stripped everything out of it. Any help on a quick fix (don't mind if it's dirty ) Thanks! Heys, I have the following code: <html> <head></head> <body> <div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; border: 1px solid red;"> <div style="width: 200px; border: 1px solid green; float: left;">-</div> </div> </body> </html> In FF and IE7 it works the way I'm desiring; specifically, the child div (width: 200px is contained inside a box, however it breaks outside of it due to the width. ||||||||| ||||||||| |||||||||||| |||||||||||| ||||||||| ||||||||| That's how it should look; but I can't replicate it in IE6. Any ideas? Thanks I seem to have an issue with the float parameter in Firefox. If you look at the following URL in IE, it should display fine, but in firefox the container doesn't expand to hold the div's within, as they're floated. I've seen other people use floats just fine in firefox, but it doesnt' seem to work for me.. http://www.arestaenterprise.com/enf/ Any help is appreciated Thanks! |
