CSS - Horizontal Menu Using Images
Can somebody tell me if this is possible?
I have a horizontal menu and I'm using images. I'm using javascript for the drop down menu etc. The menu is an include so it looks the same on all the pages. What I want to do is when I'm on say "Contact" the rollover color (this is an image) displays the "Contact" hover image, and the same with the other pages. So what needs to happen is CSS needs to override the button with the hover image. Is it possible to put css in every page that tells it to display the needed hover image when on that page? Similar TutorialsI am trying to create a Horizontal Multilevel Drop Down Navigation Menu, but instead of the css creating text i would like them to be images and when you hover over the links they rollover into a new image. 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! Ok, I know virtually nothing about css, but realized that that a css menu is better for SEO. Anyway I found this vertical menu that works the way I want it. But I also need a horizontal version of it with dropdown submenus. Can someone help with this? I have been trying a bunch of things but it just looks awful and doesn't work right. It has 3 basic componets; Html, Javascript, and css. Here they are below. drop_down.js: Code: // JavaScript Document
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;

I'm not sure if the title describes exactly what I mean, but here it goes. I'm working on this website: http://denartcc.org/d/ The menu along the top has images that change position when you hover over them. The thing that I'm trying to do is create something that looks like this site's menu: http://www.aopa.org/ Notice how hovering over one of the menu items reveals another blue bar that contains more links. This is what I'm trying to create. Unfortunately I'm stuck when it comes to comparing these side-by-side, and I just don't know how to create that secondary set of links. The code I'm using is below.

These menus have the items appear vertically from a horizontal menu i looked at these and could find one http://www.cssdrive.com/index.php/menudesigns/category/C20/ I have a horizonatal menu on my webise and the list items that drop down, are all jumbled into a single block of text. How do I create a new line fore each list item? I am trying to create a navigation menu for a page using images i have sliced in photoshop and I now need to put the images all on a 900px wide line and link them to the appropiate pages. When i put the images next to each other i end up with a gap. The only way I have found to solve the problem is to leave the img src all on the same line. I'm sure this isn't the best way to do it and it is throwing out the div below. Ideas anyone?

I have a 3 level navigation list. The level 1 has 5 items, the first item of which has no sub-list. How can I get the level 2 and 3 lists to fly-out at the same level as its parent item? Hi, I have the following menu that is currently laid out with a table: http://www.ianarmstrong.com/menutest/ I want to switch this to be styled in CSS somehow. I've looked at using a styled unordered list to do this, but that doesn't seem like the best idea as each image in my menu is different. Thus I can't have 5 different <li> elements, each with a different bg image. I need a way to handle the 5 different images, and have a mouseover effect as well. Could someone offer some direction on this problem? I've tried the tutorials on CSS menus but can't seem to get it to work right for my project. I want a spacer to seperate the buttons at 1 pixels wide but currently it's about 10 pixels wide. I've adjusted until i'm blue in the face can somebody help? The code is below: Code:
<tr>
<td width="766">
<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="">Home</a></li>

--- This problem has been driving me crazy. Long story short, this is what it looks like in Firefox 3. This is the correct way it should look. (ff.jpg) This is the way it looks in both IEs (ie.jpg) The entire third <li> item wraps correctly in firefox, but in ie, the word within the <li> wrap, but not the entire <li> element. Here is the html: Code: <ul class="tabNavSecondary"> <li><a href="#preventionSub1">Prevention</a>|</li> <li><a href="#preventionSub2">xxxxxx</a>|</li> <li><a href="#preventionSub3">xxxxx</a>|</li> <li><a href="#preventionSub4">xxxx</a>|</li> <li><a href="#preventionSub5">xxxx</a>|</li> <li><a href="#preventionSub6">xxx</a></li> </ul> CSS: Code: .tabNavSecondary{
float:left;
margin:6px 0 15px -5px;
}
.tabNavSecondary li{
background:none;
display:block;
float:left;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
.tabNavSecondary li a,
.tabNavSecondary li a:link{
float:left;
margin:0 5px;
color:#003399;
}
Any thoughts? I've tried for about an hour with all sorts of different styles. I can't get this page right. http://ortho-paloalto.hoozhosting.c...te/newsite.html What I'm trying to do is create a menu at the top in the center #window div. If I add width: 25% to the following, the menu is properly spaced in IE, but block atributes are lost in FF. If I remove the width: 25% from the following the menu is spaced properly in FF, but lost in IE. #submenu li a { } #submenu li a:hover { } Regardless of the same size tabs for the menu's described above the links stopped working in FF. I'm trying to have the menu at the top be width: 33% and the sub menu 25% and both centered. Eventually I'd like to determine a way to customize each of the menu color's but I think the formatting and placement is more important at this point. Please help, I've just recently started using css and have limited experience. Any help is appreciated. Thank you, Dave It's been a long while since I did anything using HTML or CSS so I might be prone to silly mistakes. A site I'm working on is giving me unusual results. The second HR is being forced to the right of the horizontal menu. No other element in it's place does the same thing. Placing another element before it makes the HR positions correctly. index.html Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Faithful 32x32</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=uft-8" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/reset.css" media="all" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css" media="all" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.png" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <img src="images/logo.png" class="centered" alt="Faithful 32x32 logo"/> <h2>A double resolution texture pack that stays faithful to the original <a href="http://www.minecraft.net">Minecraft</a> textures.</h2> <hr /> <div id="centeredmenu"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Main</a></li> <li><a href="#">Download</a></li> <li><a href="#">Mod Packs</a></li> <li><a href="#">Support Us</a></li> <li><a href="#">Credits</a></li> </ul> </div> <hr /> </div> </body> </html> main.css Code:

Both the HTML and CSS validates. I'd post a link to the site but it's against the rules. Hopefully we can figure this out. Cheers. Hi Is there a way to create a 100% width (liquid layout without table) Horizontal menu using <UL><LI>. I searched Google, but i found only the menus aligned either towards left or middle. Not extending to full width. When i give "width: auto" for LI then all the links get aligned towards the left. Or if i specify some particular width say 12.5% for each Li then when i make it to 800x600 screen its wrapping to second line. I want to center a horizontal menu (not the words - the entire menu). Everything I read says I need to insert align-text: center into the #menu ul portion of my CSS. However, I've tried that and it doesn't work for me. I'm using Dreamweaver for my editing and I'm rather new to CSS. The CSS code I have for the menu is: Code: #menuwrapper {width: 1280px;
height: 25px;
background: #FFC557 url(images/menu_background.jpg) repeat-x;
color: #000;}
#menu, #menu ul {display: inline;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;}
#menu li {display: block;
float: left !important;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
line-height: 25px;
position: relative;
left: 19px;}
#menu a {height: 25px;
width: 85px;
background: #FFC557 url(images/button.jpg) no-repeat;
color: #000;
display: block;
font-size: 105%;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
border-left: 1px solid #000;}
#lastbutton {border-right: 1px solid #000;}
#menu a:hover {background-position: 0 -25px;}
Now how the heck do I center the menu as opposed to having it aligned to the left??? Problem solved, all that was required was a different li class. |
