CSS - Drop Menu Format
Hwo can a drop menu display individual colors as actual labels?
ex #' to be used as css: value Label 1 #FFFFCC 2 #9999FF 3 #E2D9FF The #'s can be stored as table column values in the 'Color' table, but I can figure that out later. Right now I'm working on the initial insert into this Color table so its manual. (but can css be called on the page from dynamic values?) Similar TutorialsHello 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:
.chromestyle{
width: 100%;
font-weight: bold;
float: left;
height: 29px;
}
.chromestyle:after{ /*Add margin between menu and rest of content in Firefox*/
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;

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. Here is the source for the above: Code:

Any help is really appreciated thanks. EDIT:: Simplier way to write the question ^.^ :: When I scroll off the menu/link onto the first link in the submenu it stays, but when I mvoe down to the next item in the submenu it disappears. (My drop down is vertically aligned on the left.)

Also not sure if it's correct, but I can worry about that later. link: The Page 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 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. I'm playing around with CSS for the first time and have created a drop down menu that I would like to use for a site I have so any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I've placed the menu on its own page at h t t p : / / aztechnogeek . somee . com / cssmenu . html for accurate coding (just view source). - sorry as a new user I guess I can't post hyperlinks. What I would like to know how to do is when the cursor is moved down a menu list why the top hover attribute does not stay active??? Confusing I know but when you see the working menu you'll understand - I hope. Any help would be great, thank you!!! 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? Hey guys, New to the forum. Mainly came on here to get help with my nav bar. It works perfectly in FF and IE 8.07+, but the problem it with IE8.06, where it doesn't show at all. Not too worried about pre-8.06, only a small amount of my page hits comes from below that version. I've spent ages looking for a problem, but can't find where I've went wrong. There's may be some superfluous stuff in there that I've added to try and fix the problem..

The problem is that it works fine in the various browsers... IE6, FF1.x, NS, Opera... But it doesn't work in IE7. Anyone know a work around for using the hover as a drop down with IE7? I can paste the code later (when I get back to where my site is) if needed. Thanks for any input. Hi this theme had an old dropdown menu that was acting weird in some browsers so I updated it with a plugin and now to need to customize it to look a certain way. There are a few stylesheets at work because of the plugin but I am unable to discern why the "Contact Us" text is off-center in the button. I can see that it seems to be too long, but I don't know why it is favoring the right side of the background, instead of being centered in the background. If someone could help me demystify this I would be MUCH obliged. I will post a link so that it can be inspected... When I am allowed after 4 more posts! Please inspect the elements (too much code to post with all different style sheets at play!). Thank you. EDIT: here is link: http://drewclifton.com/clients/northern-computer/ You can also see that the dropdown under 'Services' looks funky; I'm thinking a 'sliding door' solution would be appropriate yes? Thank you. Hi all, I am trying to style a drop-down menu. I'd like the hover state to have a transparent cut out on the menu... and the bottom of the drop down to be rounded. Probably makes more sense in the picture... which I am apparently not allowed to post. grrr. So think little triangle, but instead of being a different color, it is a transparent cut out. I've been banging my head into the keyboard for a couple of hours and can't seem to find the right way to tackle this. The problem is compounded by some of the menu items not have submenus. I'd like those to hover as if they were the bottom link in the drop down... ie, a notched edge and rounded bottom border. I would really appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction here. Many thanks, -helga How easy is it to create one of these where when you hover over a link a menu appears underneath? Hi I have the following script is from http://tiernok.com/tt/dropdown/styles/caffeine.css and http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/ that I am trying to modify. It runs fine both in IE and Netscape but look and feel is what I am trying to make it work. Here is the issue I am facing and have tried but couldn't figure it out 1. In IE when hovering over Services And Implementation there's too much gap between Services And Implementation and History1Histy1 as in FireFox it comes out fine but everything is overlapped. Want to have less gap between menu and sub-menu. 2. How can I increase the width for the menus and sub menus, as I want to fit everything in table width of 586. Code:

Any help is appreciated. Thanks Howdy. Take a look here. The menu is dropping behind the div for the body section in IE. I've tried mucking with the z-index, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Here's the menu code; Code:
#menu {
width:780px;
height:28px;
background: #CCCCCC url(images/menu_img.gif) no-repeat center top;
}
ul#nav {
padding: 0;
margin:0 25px 0 25px;
list-style: none;
}
li.navB {
float: left;
position: relative;
width: 230px;
margin:7px 0 7px 0;
font:bold 12px arial, verdana, sans-serif;
text-decoration:none;
color:#2F60C0;
}
li ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 15px;
left: 0;
padding:5px;
width:100px;
list-style:none;
margin:0;
z-index:3;
}
li ul li{
padding:2px;
width:100px;
list-style:none;
margin:auto;
}
li:hover ul, li.over ul{
display: block;
background:white;
border:1px solid #333333;
width:100px;
padding:5px;
position:absolute;
}
and the body code Code:
.product_container {
width:720px;
margin:auto;
margin-top:4px;
margin-bottom:4px;
border:1px solid black;
min-height:270px;
position:relative;

z-index:1;
}
.product_info {

Any thoughts? Thanks I am looking for help with creating a CSS drop down menu. I found an example online, but I am unable to make it work for my site. I am trying make a horizontal drop down menu, but the menu is being displayed vertically, can someone please help.

Sorry if I am re-posting something that has been asked before. I am trying to add a drop down menu to a website I am working on, the menu works great in all browsers except IE7 (I haven't tried anything earlier). In IE7, when I hover over the menu items they show the selections like they are supposed to, but when I move the cursor to select an item from the drop down it disappears. I've tried many different things, but can't seem to get anything to work. Any help would be much appreciated. Links to files: simad.ca/wp/test/index.html simad.ca/wp/test/nav.css |
