CSS - Popup? Visible?

Hi,
On the page http://simplyfocusing.net/LitSoc/ I have been trying to get CSS rollovers working.

I use code similar to this

For CSS
Code:

.nav {
	width:172px;
	height:32px;
}
td#nhome {
	background-image:url(nav-home.gif);
	background-repeat:no-repeat;
	cursor:pointer;
}
td#nhome img {
	visibility:hidden;
}
td#nhome:hover img {
	visibility:visible;
}

For HTML
Code:

<td id="nhome" class="nav"><a href="index.htm"><img src="index_files/nav-home-over.gif" alt="" /></a></td>

But the rollovers arent exactly working with IE. Works perfectly in FireFox 1. Also there seems to be some problem with the top right corner in IE. I can correct it by setting height to 0px in .shadowtopcorn but then it screws up FireFox.

Any suggestions on what I should do?

Thanks a lot

I am attempting to create a link on a page that will only appear when it is hovered upon. This is to direct an administrator to an admin page. Here is what I have attempted so far to no avail:

Code:

div.headleft {
    text-align: right;
    width: 100%;
}

div.headleft a:link {
    display: none;
}

div.headleft a:visited {
    display: none;
}

div.headleft a:hover {
    display: block;
    background: inherit;
    color: #ff0000;
}

div.headleft a:active {
    display: none;
}

I have tried a few variations to the above snippet of code and am at my wits end...

My gratitude ahead of time...

Hey guys,

I built a site that uses a linked list as an multi-level menu. This menu works fine in Moz/Netscape, but I have to use IE behaviours (thus JavaScript) for it to work in IE. Because this is a list I've contained it in a div with overflow: auto. And set a new external css file using JavaScript to convert that list into the multi-level menu.

The problem is the menu's horizontal submenus appears within the parent div, rather than overflowing above the parent. I was able to fix this problem using a z-index and overflow: visible in IE. However, in Gecko based browsers the menu's submenu's links aren't accessible over the site content also contained in an overflow: auto div. But, as said works fine in IE.

Here is the site. To test this bizare functionality manipulate the #contentArea and #navArea properties in this css file.

You will notice that there is a DHTML custom scrollbar if JS is enabled, this is because the only way I could get the submenu's to be accessible above the content in Gecko is to make the div overflow: hidden.

Myself, and the developer of the orginal menu, have been working on this for weeks (well, more me) and haven't determined how to make the menu accessible while mantaining overflow: auto on the #contentArea div. Just today we had some limited success changing the #navArea position to fixed rather than absolute in Gecko. After some repositioning the menu was fully accessible at medium/100% text size. But, once the site was resized using font sizes (it uses a relative font size 'em' for an elastic layout) the fixed div wouldn't stay in position.

I'm hoping that someone here is able to tell me how to set overflow: visible to overflow above an overflow:auto div in NS/Moz (I'm using FF0.8) and still work in IE?

I'd greatly appreciate it because I want to replace the custom scrollbar with default scrollbars for accessibility. Thanx.

When I place my flash file in a html document I don't want the scroll bars visible, unless the window is resized smaller than the dimensions of the flash movie.

I'm using this piece of code nicely to turn the scroll bars of the browser window off, but it dosn't turn them back on when needed.

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
BODY {overflow:hidden;}
</STYLE>

This link,

http://www.one9ine.com/flash.html

works the way I'm trying to work out. No scrollbars visible untill, the browser window is rezised smaller that the flash movie content.

Cheers for the help.

Why on earth is visibility: hidden; not visible: false;
??

Not only do I have to worry about spelling visibility right and getting all the i's in the right spots, it make javascript that much harder. I have to pass object around rather than flipping a switch.

It makes no logical sense IMO to have strings when you would have simply had a bool.

Is it for future? Are they going to add 'transparent' and 'slightly visible'? Hopefully something else hard to spell like 'squirrel'

dear all,

is it possible, using css or otherwise, to have a div on my page remian visible even when the page is scrolled hoizontally and the div goes out of view.

the div in question runs vertically down the left hand side of the page.

there are javascript menus i have seen that do this (albeit usually when scrolling vertically), but i wonder if it can be done with css.

many thanks, mark

i have a div that has a background img. when i have p's within this div the background img only shows up if theres a line of text there. i specified the height: 277px to fix this (if theres a better way, pls let me know). and tried to put overflow:visible within p's but its still clipping. any ideas?

containing div:
Code:

#content .col {
	width:	303px;
	height: 277px;
	background: url(../images/one_third_box_top.png) no-repeat;
	float: left;
	
}

p:
Code:

#content p, ul {
	padding: 0 25px 0 30px;
	line-height: 1.5em;
	overflow: visible;
}

edit: this problem is in mozilla, but not in IE... weird.
theres also one minor thing on a totally different subject. paths..

my paths a
Code:

/pub
	/css
		main.css
	/images
		foo.jpg
		foo2.jpg
	index.html

obviously i have a link to the main.css in the index file but when i try to use url(images/foo.jpg), foo.jpg wont load? the path looks right unless im missing something... instead i have to url(../images/foo.jpg) for it to work... i always thought the '../' meant parent directory of the file (which is index.html since its linked from it)... right?

thanks in advance.

I am trying to set a height of a container div, and have the inner div spill out of the container without changing the height of the container div:
Code:

	<style media="screen" type="text/css">
		.inner{
			width: 80px;
			height: 80px;
			background-color: #0000FF;
		}
		
		.outer {
			width: 120px;
			height: 20px;
			background-color: #FFFF00;
			overflow:visible;
		}
	</style>

IE 6 is giving me trouble. It insists on making the container div the same height as the inner div. Anything I can do to tell IE6 to not change the height of the container?

Hello all. I want to hide everything in a div with a particular id except for a specific tag. In other words, I want to be able to do the following:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
  #outer { display: none; }
  #outer p { display: block; }
</style>
<div id="outer">
  <p>This is text. </p>
  <h1>This is more text. </h1>
</div>

Where "This is text. " would appear but "This is more text. " would not appear? Is this possible?

I understand the inheritance that #outer p is getting the display: none property from the parent but does not mean I cannot override it?

new at this - learning the rope. baby steps.

is there a way to set a link target to open the link in another div on the page?

Hi everybody,

This may actually be a very easy thing to do with CSS, but with me being a newbie who learned what CSS stands for 2 days ago, it's become a huge headache. I've tried googling and looking at some sample code but all my attempts have failed. This is pretty much my last hope. Please help!

Basically, I've been trying to place two different background images at two different specific locations, one of them at left-center, and the other one at right-center. I also need them to be able to move/slide as the user scrolls up and down so that they remain visible at all times.

What I have at the moment is a single background image positioned at left-center, and it does not slide.

My current code looks like this:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>

<title>The Website</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<META name="description" content="Welcome to my personal website.">
<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" bgcolor="#000000" text="333366" scroll="yes" style="background-image: url('devbg-left.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: left center">

<div align="center"></div>
</body>
</html>

What I desperately need is one more image placed on the right side, and both of them to be able to slide.

I would appreciate all kinds of help. Thank you so much.

All the best,

Yucel

Hi everyone, I am wondering why IE sucks so bad...


Just kidding. Actually, my CSS popup appears in Mozilla Firefox (best browser on earth ) but not in IE. The guy that I learned it from (http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/popups/demo.html) works in both IE and Mozilla, and I dont understand why mine doesn't any help would be appreciated

Mine:
Code:

div#links a span {display: none;}
div#links a:hover span {display: block;
   position: absolute; top: 160px; left: -10px; width: 125px;
   padding: 0px; margin: 0px; z-index: 100;
   color: #000; background: #fff;
   font: 10px Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left; }
div#links {position: absolute; top: 96px; left: 27px; width: 58px; height: 20px; font: 10px Verdana, sans-serif; z-index: 100;}
div#links a {display: block; font: 10px Verdana, sans-serif; 
   padding: 0px; margin: 0 0 1px; border-width: 0; 
   text-decoration: none; color: #fff; }

His:
Code:

div#links {position: absolute; top: 81px; left: 0; width: 166px; height: 700px; font: 16px Verdana, sans-serif; z-index: 100;}
div#links a {display: block; text-align: center; font: bold 1em sans-serif; 
   padding: 5px 10px; margin: 0 0 1px; border-width: 0; 
   text-decoration: none; color: #FFC; background: #444;
   border-right: 5px solid #505050;}
div#links a:hover {color: #411; background: #AAA;
   border-right: 5px double white;}

div#links a span {display: none;}
div#links a:hover span {display: block;
   position: absolute; top: 180px; left: 0; width: 125px;
   padding: 5px; margin: 10px; z-index: 100;
   color: #AAA; background: black;
   font: 10px Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;}

I'm using Eric Meyer's Pure CSS Popups template for a new site. I want to have a graphic pop up in the middle of the page for one particular link when clicked, rather than have the browser load a new page, but I don't know how to go about it. Can anybody shed some light on how to alter the stylesheet to have this one link act differently from the rest?

Thanks.

I have the following page:

http://take2records.com/test/dbtest.php

Which you can test using

http://take2records.com/test/dbtest...4&id_num=404100

What I need is to be able to have a popup any time you hover over a particular row in the generated table.

I found this code to do the hover:

Code:

class="thumbnail" href="#thumb"><img src="media/tree_thumb.jpg" width="100px" height="66px" border="0" /><span><img src="media/tree.jpg" /><br />Simply beautiful.</span></a>

<br />
<br />

<a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb">Dynamic Drive<span><img src="media/dynamicdrive.gif" /><br />Dynamic Drive</span></a><br />

But I don't see how to apply this when the user hovers over a particular row.
