CSS - Css For Alt Tags

This must be a common problem but I have no way to look it up in the forum.

In Firefox and IE7 you can define CSS for successive tags with the larger sign:

div>span {
...
}

Does anyone know of anything similar for IE6 ?

Hello!

Can anyone help me with this one... I'm trying to figure out how to change the following css/html (or if it's even possible) so it still works after removing the surrounding <span> tag. (There is additional javascript which shows/hides the div but I've removed it so it's simpler to read).

So the current html below would be shortened to:

Code:

<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="sddm"><u>Settings</u>
<div id="m1" class="alignl">
<a href="#">HTML Drop Down</a>
<a href="#">DHTML Menu</a>
<a href="#">JavaScript DropDown</a>
<a href="#">Cascading Menu</a>
<a href="#">CSS Horizontal Menu</a>
</div>
</a>

ORIGINAL CSS/HTML:

Code:

<style type="text/css">

/* Drop Down Menu */

span.sddm {
	z-index: 30;
	white-space: nowrap;
	position: relative;
}

span.sddm a {
	text-decoration: none;
}

span.sddm a:hover {
	text-decoration: none;
	color: blue;
}

span.sddm div {
	position: absolute;
	display: none;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	background: #fff;
	border: 1px solid #3366cc;
	border-top: 1px solid #c9d7f1;
	border-left: 1px solid #c9d7f1;
	top: 18px;
}

span.sddm div a {
	position: relative;
	display: block;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 2px 5px;
	width: auto;
	text-align: left;
	text-decoration: none;
	white-space: nowrap;
}

span.sddm div a:hover {
	background: #3366cc;
	color: #fff;
}

span.sddm .alignl {
	left: 0px;
}

span.sddm .alignr {
	right: 3px;
}

</style>

<span class="sddm">
<a href="javascript:void(0);"><u>Settings</u> <small>▼</small></a>
<div id="m1" class="alignl">
<a href="#">HTML Drop Down</a>
<a href="#">DHTML Menu</a>
<a href="#">JavaScript DropDown</a>
<a href="#">Cascading Menu</a>
<a href="#">CSS Horizontal Menu</a>
</div>
</span>

I have some listing text that comes from a database, displayed in a column. Each block of text is enclosed in a DIV tag. I use the following to cause the area of the text to change background color when there is a mouseover:

Quote:
div.list {
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
}
div.list:hover {
background-color: #FFFACD;
}



Works fine for Firefox, but doesn't do anything in IE. How can I fix this so it works in IE as well?

I am having a heck of a time with this side sub-menu. I cannot seem to get the left margins to be equal in IE 6, 7 or 8?

My html:


Code:

<!-- show_menu2 -->
 <ul id="sub_menu" class="menu" style="margin-left:-5px;position: relative; background-color:#CFF">

    <li><a href="#" class="menu-expand menu-first navlev2" title="Project">Add-ons Project</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" class="menu-expand menu-parent navlev2" title="What Modules">Modules</a>
     <ul class="ullev3">
        <li><a href="#" class="menu-sibling menu-first navlev3" title="Modules Here">Module</a></li>
        <li><a href="#" class="menu-sibling navlev3" title="Admin Tools">Admin Tools</a></li>

        <li><a href="#" class="menu-current navlev3" title="Random">Code Snippets</a></li>
        <li><a href="#" class="menu-sibling menu-last navlev3" title="Droplet of Link">Droplets</a></li>
     </ul>
    </li>
    <li><a href="#" class=" navlev2" title="AMASP">AMASP</a>    </li>
    <li><a href="#" class=" navlev2" title="Templates">Templates</a> </li>

    <li><a href="#" class="menu-last navlev2" title="Backend Pages">Backend Themes</a></li>
 </ul>

  
          </div>
                          <!-- end of subnavigation --> 

My CSS:
Code:

#submenu
{
	padding: 0;
	/* [disabled]width: 247px; */
	/* [disabled]position: relative;
*/
	/* [disabled]left: -15px; */

	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-position: 2px 50%;
}
#submenu a:hover

	color :#003366;
	background-image: url(../images/bullets_micro/square1.gif);

	/* [disabled]position: relative;

	/* [disabled]left: -10px;

}
#submenu ul li

	padding :5px 0;
	/* [disabled]line-height :1.4em; */
	font-size :12px;
	list-style-type :none;

Thanks so much.

Im trying to control how the text formats within a div tag, that sits inside a menu.

The text appears when you rollover the items in the submenu and I want extra information to appear but when it does, it doesnt wrap 'correctly'

I have the menu sitting he http://www.electronical.org/tmp/playsongs/

If you rollover 'Products > playsong titles', you will see some blue text appears at the bottom of the submenu.

How do I format this so it is the width of the submenu and wraps to the length of it?

Thanks for any help.

Hi there,

this is concerning 'id' tags...i've got a style set for my <a> tags, and i wish to create a second <a> style, to be applied to a small set of the <a>'s in my site.

I know the #blah should be used to set an id for it, but here's my concern;
1. where do i state the id for the <a>? (ie. <div id="blah"> or <a href="http:///////" id="blah">).
2. do i need to define an id for the existing style? or can i just leave it the way it is and apply the id to the one i want different?

thanks in advance.

I just can't figure out what to define so that IE doesnt screw up my coding... here is a link to my project... if you look in IE, there is a gap above "Account Info"... it is caused because that is where my <form> tag starts, then at the bottom there is another gap, which is there my </form> tag ends.

Sign Up Page Error

Hi, i have to display a list of links horizontally, wrapped in a <ul> tag. For seo reasons now these links have to be wrapped in <h2> tags. In IE6 + IE7 this causes a linebreak and the links are displayed in a vertical list.
sth like

#myId LI {
display:inline-block;
}
#myId LI H2{
display:inline-block;
}

solves the problem for Firefox but not for IEs. Do you know a solution? Would be highly appreciated!

here the html

<ul id='myId'>
<li><h2><a htref=...>somewhere</a></h2></li>
<li><h2><a htref=...>somewhere</a></h2></li>
</ul>


OK Found out a
float:left in the li
was missing

Hello,

I've been messin with this all night but just can't get the result i'm after. The bit of code which follows, almost works - except the fields on the right hand side don't align to the top (to be in line with the top of each text on the left).

What am I doing wrong? Can anyone please help me?

Thanks,
JT

I'm sorta new to CSS-positioning so some of the code looks jumbly. But I'm trying to make the page work in mozilla's firefox and in the process of doing that I broke it in IE. Anyways, here is the link to the buggy page that the div containers hop all over the place. If you hit refreash enough you will see the lower section that displays the extra news articles will lose its left-margin setting and hop around. Plus it drops the archive container down below the extended news section as if they widths are clashing when they appear fine in firefox.
I'm assuming there is probably some type of ie bug and I'm curious if someone has a link to a hack for it? Could use any help

This is a simple question.

In my menu system, I want my "items" to look like links. I've put the text in an Anchor tag... but I then get the, for this time at least, undesired blue underline action going on...

What CSS do I need to use to prevent this. I want my <div> tag and/or my <a> tags to not change...

Thanks.

Here is the page: http://www.usdphidelts.com/alumni/map.php

There are <div> box's that need to be placed next to each other, one contains the map, the other contains the information about the icon click on the map.

It looks like with my current CSS, the two <div>'s names map and alumni are being placed on top of one another.

Any idea how I can get them to layout next to each other?

Thanks!

Hi,

I've done an English site which works but now I'm doing the language versions..in particular, Arabic, which is read from right-to-left (direction: rtl)

http://www.ntcjapan.com/languages/arabic/dindex.html

On IE, the page looks fine. On Firefox, however, the <UL> tags (see light blue and normal blue text in middle of page) are being aligned to the right, overlapping the <div id="main"> which is supposed to contain it.

Code:

	#main {

		width: 590px;
		padding-top: 115px;
		padding-left: 4px;
		padding-right: 5px;
		background: url(../../../images/0_logo.gif) no-repeat;
		float: left;
		margin: 0px 3px 0px 0px;
	}

I do want everything aligned to the right, since Arabic is apparently read that way, but I need the effect as shown on IE.

Any ideas how to make this work?

Also, if anyone has any recommendations on what I could do to fix the W3C validation errors , please let me know.

Thanks very much in advance!

how do you set the width with CSS?

i'd like to have a table with two columns, 70% and 30% with text-align left on the 70%, and text-align right on the 30%. any ideas? thanks.
