CSS - Dropdown Menu Second Level Sub-menu
I'm using the suggestions of those on here and using the
http://www.dynamicsitesolutions.com...2/#relatedLinks menu (I'm a little confused over what the differences are but that's the least of my problems) What I want is a 2nd level drop down menu, but I'm clueless on how to go about it..??? Similar TutorialsI'm having trouble writing CSS for a nav menu that drops down to four levels. I'm able to drop down to three but I'm having a tough time with the fourth level. Please help. My CSS: /* style the top level hover */ .menu a:hover, .menu ul ul a:hover { color:#3d4058; background:#ffffff; } .menu :hover > a, .menu ul ul :hover > a { color:#3d4058; background:#ffffff; } /* make the second level visible when hover on first level list OR link */ .menu ul li:hover ul, .menu ul a:hover ul { visibility:visible; } /* keep the third level hidden when you hover on first level list OR link */ .menu ul :hover ul ul { visibility:hidden; } /* make the third level visible when you hover over second level list OR link */ .menu ul :hover ul :hover ul { visibility:visible; } /* make the 4th level hidden */ .menu ul :hover ul :hover ul ul { visibility:hidden; } /* make the 4th level visible */ .menu ul ul li:hover ul ul ul, .menu ul a:hover ul ul ul { visibility:visible; } Hey there again! I have been at it ALLLLLLLLLLLL day, trying to figure out this blasted css menu to work in IE6!!! It works fine in FF but dosnt seem to like IE6 and was wondering if someone could please help me figure out the problem The first dropdown block ( <ul class="nav"> ) works fine but the second block ( <ul class="sub"> ) inside the first block ( <ul class="nav"> ) doesn't show properly in IE6!! Here is a screen shot of my problem: Here is my css: PHP Code: .navbar :hover ul.nav { padding:0; margin:0; left:0; top:40px; width:136px; z-index:604; background-color:#333333; } .navbar :hover ul.nav li a { display:block; height:24px; width:136px;} .navbar :hover ul.nav li a:hover {background:#ad8d12;} .navbar :hover ul.nav :hover ul.sub{ padding:0; margin:0; left:104px; top:-4px; width:200px; z-index:606; background-color:#333333;} /* keep the 'next' level invisible by placing it off screen. */ .navbar ul.nav, .navbar :hover ul.nav ul.sub {position:absolute; left:-9999px;} Here is my HTML code: PHP Code: <ul class="navbar"> <li><a href="#">Link<!--[if IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]--> <!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="nav"> <li><a href="#">Link2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link2<!--[if IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]--> <!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="sub"> <li><a href="#">Link3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link3</a></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--> </li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--> </li> </ul> Thanks a million for even reading up to here Hoping that this is a no-brainer to someone here! Here is a sample of the code for my menu using suckerfish: Code:
<ul class="menu sf-menu sf-horizontal sf-js-enabled">
<li class="parent item3">
<span class="separator"><span>Dealer Info</span></span>
<ul style="display: none; visibility: hidden;">
<li class="item13">
<a href=""><span>About Us</span></a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Top-level and sub-level nav are both working great, but you will notice when you hover down to the sub-level menu items, the top-level text goes back to white, making it impossible to read... Here is the css code for my menu: Code:

Can anyone tell me what the rule is to keep that top level text black when I hover below? Thanks Hi, I am converting a wordpress theme to Farsi, which is an RTL language. Meaning I have to convert anything that is left to right. Everything has been great, except for the drop down menu. It shows fine in firefox (see link below) http://mytasvir.com/photo/gallery/24b060df15cc3b.gif But in internet explorer, the first level is shifted to the left (see image below) http://mytasvir.com/gallery/image/730/24b060e63235cb.gif In the CSS part below: Code: /* first level */
#pagenav li ul {
float:none;
position:absolute;
display: block;
width: 200px;
left: -999em;
margin-top: -1px;
when I change the position:absolute; to position:relative; the outcome will be as below: http://mytasvir.com/gallery/image/730/24b060f02b67c3.gif which is also not acceptable. What Can i do? I attached the part of style sheet which is related to the navigation, sorry I had to upload on rapidshare.... http://rapidshare.com/files/309492078/style.css please help! i really need help! 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! I'm trying to add an extra level to a pop-out menu but can't get the third level to hide and display. The jscript function is suckerfish the css is a little here a little there... CSS: Code:

I've tried .popouts li li ul ul{ and even tried adding a seperate class for the third level. Can some one please help me. If you need a link to the page I'm working on, here you go. It's the last link "Links" in the menu where I'm trying to add the third level. Thanks for any help you can offer. John Hi I thought this would be a lot easier than it has turned out! I want to add a 4th side menu level [#subnav-col]. I don't know if i'm getting the css or the html wrong but I can't get it to work - I find it difficult to know how to do the CSS+html to a 4th level. The original HTML and CSS is here - would be grateful for some help.

Hello: I inherited a site which was designed by an SEO firm. They have a 2 level horizontal drop down menu which isn't working in Internet Explorer 6. The website URL is http://www.chrisspencerhomes.com. When you hover over the links Communities, Home Plans, Available Homes and Gallery; the drop down menus do not appear in IE6. The website works great in Firefox and IE7. I attached the CSS file to this post. Can someone help me fix the CSS code so it will work on IE6? Thank you for all your time and help. 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? I tried to do this CSS drop down menu with 2 methods, but none of them work perfect. The first method is this: PHP Code: #menu1main { /* Top drop down menu styles */ height : 31px; display : block; } #menu1main a { /* Top drop down menu hover styles */ display : block; color : #000000; text-decoration : none; border : none; background-repeat : no-repeat; } .menu1 .menu1list { /* Hide top drop down menu submenu */ display : none; } .menu1, .display { /* Top drop down menu top level styles */ float : left; width : 110px; text-align : center; vertical-align : middle; font-family : Comic Sans MS; font-size : 10pt; line-height : 31px;} /* Top drop down menu submenu hover styles */ a.menu1b1lv1, a.menu1b1lv1:hover, a.menu1b1lv1:active { background-image : url('image/menu_banner_1.jpg'); background-position : 12px 50% ; } a.menu1b2lv1, a.menu1b2lv1:hover, a.menu1b2lv1:active { background-image : url('image/menu_banner_2.jpg'); background-position : 12px 50% ; } /* Top drop down menu submenu hover styles */ a.menu1lv2, a.menu1lv2:hover, a.menu1lv2:active { display : block; text-decoration : none; border : none; color : #000000; text-indent : 16px; text-align : left; font-size : 8pt; line-height : 20px; width : 130px; } a.menu1lv2:hover, a.menu1lv2:active { background-image : url('image/menu_cube_1.gif'); background-position : 0% 100% ; background-repeat : no-repeat; } a.menu1lv2:hover, a.menu1lv2:active, a.menu1b1lv1:hover, a.menu1b1lv1:active, a.menu1b2lv1:hover, a.menu1b2lv1:active { font-weight : bold; } The HTML for this is: Code:
<div id="menu1main">
<div class="menu1"
onmouseover="this.className='display'"
onmouseout="this.className='menu1'">
<a class="menu1b1lv1" href="">Intro</a>
<div class="menu1list">
<a class="menu1lv2" href="">Part 1 Title</a>
<a class="menu1lv2" href="">Part 2 Title</a>
<a class="menu1lv2" href="">Part 3 Title</a>
</div></div>
<div class="menu1"
onmouseover="this.className='display'"
onmouseout="this.className='menu1'">
<a class="menu1b2lv1" href="">Chapter 1</a>
<div class="menu1list">
<a class="menu1lv2" href="">Part 1 Long Title</a>
<a class="menu1lv2" href="">Part 2 Long Title</a>
<a class="menu1lv2" href="">Part 3 Long Title</a>
</div></div>
</div>
The problem with this version is I can't change the width of the submenu, or else the second Chapter title will float to the right. So I tried the second method: PHP Code: ul.top { /* Top drop down menu styles */ display : block; padding : 0; margin : 0; border : none; font-family : Comic Sans MS; font-size : 10pt; text-align : center; vertical-align : middle; } #topnav li.topnav0 { /* Top drop down top level menu styles */ position : relative; float : left; background-image : url('image/menu_banner_1.jpg'); background-position : 50% 0% ; background-repeat : no-repeat; width : 110px; line-height : 31px; } #topnav li.topnav0 a { /* Top level link styles */ color : #000000; text-decoration : none; } li.topnav0 a:hover { /* Top level hover styles */ text-decoration : none; font-weight : bold; } #topnav ul.topnav1 a:hover { /* Drop down hover styles */ text-decoration : none; background-image : url('image/menu_cube_1.gif'); background-position : 0 50% ; background-repeat : no-repeat; } li.topnav0 ul.topnav1 {/* Drop down box style */ display : none; background : #FFFFFF; padding : 0; margin : 0; position : absolute; top : 100%; left : 0; } #topnav ul.topnav1 a { /* Drop Down Submenu Item Styles */ display : block; padding : 0; margin : 0; text-indent : 16px; text-align : left; font-size : 8pt; line-height : 20px; width : 250px; } #topnav li.topnav0:hover ul.topnav1, li.over ul.topnav1, li.over li.topnav1 { /* Makes Drop down work in IE */ display : block; } And the HTML is as follow: Code:
<div>
<ul class="top" id="topnav">
<li class="topnav0"><div><a href="#">Home</a></div>
</li>
<li class="topnav0"><div><a href="#">Intro</a></div>
<ul class="topnav1">
<li><a href="#">Part 1 Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Part 2 Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Part 3 Title</a></li>
</ul>
</li> <li class="topnav0"><div><a href="#">Chapter 1</a></div>
<ul class="topnav1">
<li><a href="#">Part 1 Long Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Part 2 Long Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Part 3 Long Title</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
The problem with this version is that I cannot change the background image for each Chapter on the top level. Also, I cannot make the background of the drop down submenu transparent. If I make it transparent or delete the background line, the Part 2 link will not show up. Any help of making either method to work is great appreciated! Thank you very much! I am working on a website for a client and I am having trouble following A List Apart's tutorial (I can't link yet). I have a working css dropdown menu using a css sprite. But what I am trying to do, is when you mouse over a dropdown and go down the dropdown, that the parent menu remains at it's hover state. Currently what is happening is as soon as I mouseout of the parent level it goes back to the normal state. I don't really want to post the link to the test site itself if I don't have to for client privacy. Please help! I'm getting way too frustrated now, I've look at so many examples and nothing seems to work. I don't even need the javascript, I just need it to work. I've experimented with javascript and without. This is the code I am using: javascript: Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
startList = function() {
if (document.all&&document.getElementById) {
menuRoot = document.getElementById("menu");
for (i=0; i<menuRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
node = menuRoot.childNodes[i];
if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
node.onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=" over";
}
node.onmouseout=function() {
this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
}
}
}
}
}
window.onload=startList;
//->

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?

Thanks! I have been hunting around for an all CSS drop down menu that when you hover on the heading the menu expands down to show the heading 1 menu and if you hovered over the next menu item this expands to show that menu list instead a bit like the 'be the first to apply' on the right of this page, http://www.fish4.co.uk/iad/jobs search for say 'admin' just to get to the results page as this is where the menu is. the look is not important but the function is BUT.... i wanted to have many links in the drop down not just the one as in this example. this is the extracted code i have got so far that does what you see on this page. Code:
<style>
#rightcolumn {
float: right;
width: 170px;
text-align: center;
}
#leftcolumn {
float: left;
width: 545px;
padding: 10px;

Link: http://cemtec.quicksites.co.za CSS: http://cemtec.quicksites.co.za/wp-c...grass/style.css Hi This dropdown menu on Products works in Firefox but when I goto IE7 I dont see anything at all. I have tried changing the div Class to a Div Id also without any change. Anybody have any clues to what I have todo? L. Hi all -- I've used plenty of CSS in the past, but I'm currently working on a dropdown menu that is more challenging than I had anticipated. A few things I need to fix that I just cannot figure out: 1) The last <li> in the dropdown seems to be overlapping my border 2) I want to put at least 10px of padding on the left hand side of the dropdown menu 3) I need to turn the carrot in front of each menu item to #ff9900 4) Whenever I try to increase or decrease the space between menu items, it seems as though white lines appear between my menu items. In the interest of full disclosure, I found this CSS out somewhere on the web, and I've been trying to customize it since I didn't feel I had the knowledge to build it from scratch. Normally, I'd prefer to create something on my own, but limited time and knowledge prevented me from doing so this time around. Attached below are my HTML and CSS code. I tried to post a link, but the forum will not allow me. If you can offer any assistance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your time!

First I am using Dreamweaver MX2004. I am still new to CSS, have not used it much. Still using tables (yeah i know) for the layout. Mainly because when I've tried positioning in the past, IE doesn't display it right. Layers don't seem to work for me! What I'd like to know is: can I use CSS (the son of suckerfish dropdowns) for my drop down menu in a separate HTML file that would be saved as a library item? I'd like the nav separate so I can update it easily. Should I also use a separate CSS file that would only be associated with the nav? Is necessary to have an external css sheet, if it only applys to this nav? The nav would get dropped into a table row under the top banner. My issue is: will it get positioned right ? And will it view ok in IE??? Hope I explained this right. I fear that what I have already coded, would get messed up if I do this! But due to search engine optimization, I'd like to avoid a fully functioning javascript dropdown. If you have a better suggestion/usage for a dropdown horizontal nav, I'd appreciate your ideas! Thanks for the advice! Valerie Need some help with some dropdown menus. I have been reading many of the tutorials on other sites. I have come up with this code for my drop down menus: Code:
.dropmenu {
position: absolute;
left: -1500px;
visibility: visible;
z-index: 101;
float: left;
width: 122px;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #BFBFBF;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.dropmenu ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
.dropmenu li {
display: inline;
}
.dropmenu a, .dropmenu a:visited, .dropmenu a:active {
display: block;
width: 120px;
padding: 2px;
margin: 1px;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
background-color: #D4D4D4;
}
.dropmenu a:hover {
padding: 2px;
margin: 1px;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
background-color: #BFBFBF;
}
but no matter how much I adjust settings that I know, I cannot get the dropdowns to show up below my original buttons, they always show up to the right hand side. Can someone here please point me in the right direction... |
