CSS - Help With Rollover Tab Menu Text Please?
I'm having a problem getting the text of an <a> tag to be what I want where I want.
No one in the javascript forum wants to tackle this. maybe it is a css thing. I made this interlocking tabbed menu which I do by javascript updating the position of the background graphic and its neighbor. I have done buttons before with a background and text overlayed. but they were always <input>'s and whatever I put in the value field just kinda showed up on top of the background graphic. These are actually <a>'s I assumed the text I put in between the <a> and the </a> tag would just show up but it doesn't. I tried making special divs for them but then I run in to position problems. If I make it absolute the first one is fine, then they all pile on top of it. If I make it relative, NONE of them show. Here is a test http://colleenweb.com/tests/bartest.php There is nothing like css for turning my brain into industrial waste. This has to be doable. Someone who understands this stuff please advise? Similar Tutorialsi have a rollover menu that i made with image in a row absolutly positioned. for each button the html code is <div class="art"> <a href="#"> <span class="marginoffset"> Link text here (end tags) and the css is .art {z-index:2;position: absolute; left: 55px; top:0px; display:block; width:600px; height:70px; background: no-repeat 0px 0px; text-indent: -55px; line-height: 14.5em; text-decoration:none; color:#000; font-size:11px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;} .art a {position: absolute;display:block; background:url(menuimg/btn.art_repro.jpg) no-repeat 0px 0px;line-height: 16.5em; text-align:left; text-decoration:none; text-wrapping: no-wrap; color:#999; font-size:0.7em;font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;} .art a:hover {position: absolute; background: url(menuimg/btn.art_repro_f2.jpg) no-repeat 0px 0px; line-height: 14.5em; text-align:left; text-decoration:none; color:#000; font-size:11px;font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;} .art a:active {position: absolute; background: url(menuimg/btn.art_repro_f3.jpg) no-repeat 0px 0px; line-height: 14.5em; text-align:left; text-decoration:none; color:#000; font-size:11px;font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;} . marginoffset ( position: relative; left: 0px; top:0px; Hello guys Please see the attached .zip, it contains a .swf file which shows what I am trying to accomplish in css, and a html file with the progress i've made. I would like there to be no images involved. I have been trying for a good few days now. I can almost get it to work in IE (Except the 1px gap between button and end-block), but in other browsers its just not working. Any help is greatly appreciated, Cheers, Rob I've finally finished a site, but I am having slight problems with the rollover menu. I was able to post it online, so check out this page, first in Firefox, then in IE. http://uwopartners.org/students/schuhm65/Plexus/main.html I believe the problem is that the conditional IE statements add a table within the main menu links. This is to get around using javascript, but when you hover over the main links, the background is changed and expanded to include the submenu. Can anyone figure out a work around for this, so the appearance is similar to Firefox? Here is the css: Code:

I have trawled around abit to see if I could get anything but have come up empty handed. can someone point me in the right direction here. thanks!! Hello everyone, I have a fairly basic CSS question to ask, but since I'm new to CSS, I'm a bit stumped. If you check out my Blog (at http://goblinsatemyblog.com), on the sidebar you'll see that the menu hovers are colored green. However, on a few of the widgets displayed, rolling over the menu truncates the link down a few pixels, which doesn't look that great. I applied "display: block" tags and a background color to the widgets to create the rollover, but some still work properly and others don't. What do I need to do to keep the rollover links from acting up? Here's the code pertaining to the two CSS files in the theme. Code: .custom li.widget li a:hover, .custom li.linkcat li a:hover { display: block; padding: 0 0 0 0.3em; color: #fff; background: #009933; }
Code: #rss { width: 20em; height: 190px; margin: 0 0 1.0em 0; background: url('images/rss.png') 50% 0 no-repeat; text-align: center; }
#rss a { display: block; width: 202px; height: 184px; margin: 0 auto; }
ul.sidebar_list { list-style: none; }
ul.sidebar_list li.widget, ul.sidebar_list li.linkcat { width: 16.6667em; margin: 0 0 2.8em 0; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6667em; float: left; border-bottom: 2px solid #009933; }
li.widget p { margin: 0 0 1.66667em 0; }
li.widget ul, li.linkcat ul { list-style: none; margin: 0 0 0.8333em 0; }
li.widget li, li.linkcat li { padding: 0 1.0em 0 1.16667em; background: url('images/bullet.gif') 0 0.4167em no-repeat; }
li.widget li a:hover, li.linkcat li a:hover { color: #575757; }
I picked out the part of the CSS files that I think are relevant, but I can past the entire code if requested. Thank you in advance! Hi guys I am trying to place a top menu on the side of my site, I can't seem to get the rollover to work. This is what I have on my css. Thanks in advance #topmenu ul { list-style: none; margin: 20px; padding: 0; } #topicons { width: 76px; position: absolute; left: 800px; background: url(../images/top-icons.gif); margin: 0px; padding: 50px; height: 146px; } #topicons li { list-style-type:none; margin: 0; } #topicons li a { background-image:url('../images/top-icons.gif'); background-repeat:no-repeat; margin: 0; padding: 0; display: block; height: 44px; text-indent: -9999px; overflow: hidden; } #topicons li a.item1 {background-position:0px 0px;} #topicons li a:hover.item1 {background-position:0px -49px;} #topicons li a.item2 {background-position:0px -90px;} #topicons li a:hover.item2 {background-position:0px -144px;} #topicons li a.item3 {background-position:0px -188px;} #topicons li a:hover.item3 {background-position:0px -280px;} hi, yeah I got a rollover menu working on my comp (localhost), but when I view it from outside my LAN (MSIE v6) my rollover events are not working; the menu item text is not changing colour on rollover, and my sub menu is not coming up either. does this ring any bells? help much appreciated! tomm[.]bnesfinest[.]net/underattackwebsite/test/menu.html tomm[.]bnesfinest[.]net/underattackwebsite/test/menu.css For some reason, it refuses to rollover... in the actual site I've tried implementing it, all of them come up in the secondary start (black text, blue bg) rather than the default state (white text, transparent bg). Neither times does it actually "rollover". What am I doing wrong? Code from: webvamp[.]co[.]uk/blog/coding/graphical-css-rollover-menu/#example Link: http://ajwells.org/mtmp/index.html How do I get the menu there to center on the screen? Ive tried a number of things and nothings worked as of yet. Or better yet, is there an easy way to make the menu on the left side going downward rather than left to right? Either would be great. thanks for the help. Hi ! Me again :P So this is a simple test i made to try this out. But I ran into a problem. Take a look for yourself: (view-source for xhtml and css) http://fotoz.hit.bg/test/menu.html The problem is that annoying flickering that happens when you roll over. Any ideas how to fix it ? And most importantly why does it occur? Thanks! p.s I should explain what i wanted to do here. Basicly 1 big background image to the <div>. It will be holding the "over" state of all the buttons. At the same time the <a> elements will be holding images of the "normal" state buttons, and when you hover over them they will disappear and you will see the "hover" state below. It works but I get the flickering with visibility:hidden and even if i just move the img out of the way i have a vertical rollover menu which has odd shaped boxes, i'd like these to rollover without hiding those parts of the image that protrude. [IMG](URL address blocked: See forum rules)[/IMG] basically they have to butt up underneath each other, but not loose the outside top edges on the rollover state. i also want the text aligned right, but have a negative indent of 10 or so pixels. you'll see what I mean upon viewing the example. thanks in advance! current CSS; ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align: right; position: relative; } ul a { display: block; width: 141px; height: 44px; line-height: 58px; text-decoration: none; background: url(../images/gif/menuOverA.gif) no-repeat left; } #home #menu .home a, #about #menu .about a, #choose #menu .choose a, #services #menu .services a, #health #menu .health a, #testimonials #menu .testimonials a, #contact #menu .contact a { background: url(../images/gif/menuOverA.gif) no-repeat right; cursor: default; color: White; } #menu a:hover { background: url(../images/gif/menuOverA.gif) no-repeat right; color: White; } #about #menu .about li { background-color: Aqua; } and html; <div id="menu"> <ul> <li class="home"><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li> <li class="about"><a href="aboutUs.html">ABOUT US</a></li> <li class="choose"><a href="whyChoose.html">WHY CHOOSE US</a></li> <li class="services"><a href="services.html">SERVICES</a></li> <li class="health"><a href="healthSafety.html">HEALTH & SAFETY</a></li> <li class="testimonials"><a href="testimonials.html">TESTIMONIALS</a></li> <li class="contact"><a href="contactUs.html">CONTACT US</a></li> </ul> </div> Hi all, I'm a CSS newbie and I need your help, pleeease!

The rollover works, but somehow it shifts to the right Like this: URL What am I doing wrong? Why does it shift? Thanks in advance... I have a menu with several links each of which has a span tag connected, when you hover over the link the span tag is revealed as a roll over text. However I have also made the whole page (the page size is controlled by JavaScript) an anchor tag and placed a span for that, so there is a default text which is replaced by the other roll over text. This works fine in Firefox. However, I'm having problems getting this to work properly in IE6. It doesn't reveal the span for the whole page, although the other links are ok, it also reveals the text if I hover over where the rollover text appears. I have validated the CSS and XHTML. Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to go back to JavaScript? [code] css: body { background: url(images/sips_menu.gif) no-repeat; } a.con { z-index: 1; } a.menu { z-index: 2; } /*set whole page as an invisible link*/ a.con:link,a.con:visited,a.con:hover,a.con:active { background-color: transparent; display: block; border: none; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 790px; height: 540px; text-decoration: none; cursor: default; } /*set span for whole page as visible only when hovering over page*/ a.con span { display:none; } a.con:hover span { color: black; font-weight: normal; display: block; text-decoration: none; font-size: 11px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-align: left; position: absolute; top: 125px; left: 580px; width: 170px; height: 150px; } /*menu links - when mouse is over these it is not over general page anchor*/ a.menu:link,a.menu:visited,a.menu:hover,a.menu:active { background-color: white; border: 1px solid black; color: #617AB2; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bolder; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; padding: 4px 6px 4px 6px; } a.menu:hover { color: red; } /*menu link rollover text visible when mouse over*/ a.menu span { display: none; } a.menu:hover span { color: black; font-weight: normal; display: block; } /* Ids to position each of the menu links */ #one { position: absolute; top: 180px; left: 20px; } #two { position: absolute; top: 250px; left: 250px; } #three { position: absolute; top: 380px; left: 220px; } #four { position: absolute; top: 320px; left: 420px; } #five { position: absolute; top: 450px; left: 565px; } /* Ids to position the span tags*/ #a { position: absolute; top: -55px; left: 560px; width: 170px; } #b { position: absolute; top: -125px; left: 330px; width: 170px; } #c { position: absolute; top: -255px; left: 360px; width: 170px; } #d { position: absolute; top: -195px; left: 160px; width: 170px; } #e { position: absolute; top: -325px; left: 15px; width: 170px; } xhtml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>title</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="menu.css" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <p><a class="con" href="#"><span>text</span></a></p> <p><a class="menu" id="one" href="#">link<span id="a">rollover text</span></a><br /></p> <p><a class="menu" id="two" href="#">link<span id="b">rollover text</span></a><br /></p> <p><a class="menu" id="three" href="#">link<span id="c">rollover text</span></a><br /></p> <p><a class="menu" id="four" href="#">link <span id="d">rollover text</span></a><br /></p> <p><a class="menu" id="five" href="#">link<span id="e">rollover text</span></a><br /></p> </body> </html> I need to get away from "text-graphics" as much as possible because I am writing multilingual apps where the translator configures the translations of all the control words that appear on the menus. Besides it causes downloading lots of little images and this is not good. I would like to do a submit button in a form with a rollover, using the background-image property. Any text on that button is just superimposed on the image via html form. This will be bandwidth friendly as well as easier to make a translation, as I can use the same background image for all the buttons and if the user wants to reskin it all he has to do is put a different bg grc in the css file and resize it. Here is what I have to mess with right now: Code:
#button_btn1 {
font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 12pt;
background-image: url(http://localhost/~me/testing/img/BlurMetalLa7.gif);
color: #003300;
border: none;
height: 24px;
width: 126px;
cursor: help;
}
Code: <form action="foo.php"> <input type='submit' id='button_btn1' name='submit' value='Click me' /> </form> It displays the image all right, now I want to rollover. It seems like I need to write a javascript invoked onMouseover to alter the background-image property. I don't know how to do this. I've looked at rollovers that fool with the visibility property and I've even messed with them myself, but they seem very dicey and with each new brower version they break in yet another novel way. I 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 Hello everyone, I wanted to ask, how to place a text over a rollover image. Most ppl recommend to set the image as background in table or div tag, but that would prevent to make the image a rollover. To put it simply, I want to create an effect, I have seen e.g. at ehow.com When you place your cursor on a button in the menu, the text gets underlined. When you place your cursor on a button in the submenu ("Browse How Tos"), the text gets ubderlined AND the image changes. Is this somehow a combination of rollover text and image? My question basically is: HOW DO YOU CREATE SUCH AN EFFECT? Thank you for your replies, Tomas I would like to create a text rollover that not only changes color but also changes the word being displayed. For example: the link on the screen would first appear to be red and would read "A". When rolled over, the link would turn black and the would read "ABOUT". I have read about transparencies and visibility, but am not sure how to impliment it. I want to keep the coding as simple as possible. Nothing is worse than too much code! Thanks. Hey everyone. I am new to CSS and the forum, thus slightly overwhelmed with a project I am undertaking to produce a CSS menu. The menu is text based, vertically stacked and has two main criteria: 1. On mouse over one of the text buttons (Work for example) to the right or underneath a hidden DIV appears with a selection of sub options. 2. When the above occurs, the text of the Work menu changes to a specific colour. Eg: Work - HIMALAYAS | LIONS EDITORIAL About Links Blog At the moment I am using the following code to show and hide: <a href="#"onmouseover="showhide('script'); return(false); ">WORK</a> <div style="display: none;" id="script"> <a href="ps">HIMALAYAS</a> <a href="l">LIONS EDITORIAL</a> </div> <script> function showhide(id){ if (document.getElementById){ obj = document.getElementById(id); if (obj.style.display == "none"){ obj.style.display = ""; } else { obj.style.display = "none"; } } } </script> Can anyone help me out? Ray. Hey, i've had this issue for some time now with no resolve... see here I have tried adding a background image to the menu, but to no avail. Here's the menu CSS; Code:
#leftmenu {
width:150px;
min-height:500px;
position:relative;
left:0;
top:1px;
background:#e5e5e5 url(images/menu_bg_left.gif) repeat-y;
float:left;
text-align:left;
font-size:8pt;
}
* html #leftmenu {
height:1px;
}
.lefttop {
width:150px;
height:40px;
background:url(images/menu_top_left.gif) no-repeat;
}
.leftbottom {
width:150px;
height:40px;
background:url(images/menu_bottom_left.gif) no-repeat;
}
ul#nav, ul#nav ul {
list-style: none;
width: 130px;
}
ul#nav li {
position: relative;
}
li ul.secondary {
position: absolute;
left: 100%;
top: 0;
display: none;
background-color: #EFEFEF;
z-index:400;
}
ul#nav li a:hover {
display: block;
text-decoration:none;
color:white;
background-color:#C4E500;
}
ul#nav li a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #C4E500;
padding: 4px;
color:#333;
border-bottom:1px solid #d1d1d1;
}
/* Fix IE. Hide from IE Mac \*/
* html ul#nav li { float: left; height: 1%; }
* html ul#nav li a { height: 1%; }
/* End */
ul#nav li:hover ul, ul#nav li.over ul {
display: block;
}
thanks! Any ideas why the text isn't showing up in the main site menu (top left hand side of screen): http://www.thepartyparty.ca Take a look in Firefox and then IE. Firefox works wonderfully (surprise), IE shows no text. Any suggestions? Ryan |
