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.

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; clear: both; visibility: hidden; } .chromestyle ul{ border: 0px solid #BBB; width: 100%; background: url(chromebg.gif) center center repeat-x; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ padding: 4px 0; margin: 0; text-align: right; /*set value to "left", "center", or "right"*/ } .chromestyle ul li{ display: inline; } .chromestyle ul li a{ color: #000000; padding: 4px 7px; margin: 0; text-decoration: none; border-left: 1px solid #DADADA; } .chromestyle ul li a:hover, .chromestyle ul li a.selected{ /*script dynamically adds a class of "selected" to the current active menu item*/ background: url(chromebg-over.gif) center center repeat-x; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ } /* ######### Style for Drop Down Menu ######### */ .dropmenudiv{ position:absolute; top: 0; border: 1px solid #BBB; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ border-bottom-width: 0; font:normal 12px Verdana; line-height:18px; z-index:100; background-color: white; width: 200px; visibility: hidden; } .dropmenudiv a{ width: auto; display: block; text-indent: 3px; border-bottom: 1px solid #BBB; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ padding: 2px 5px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; color: black; } * html .dropmenudiv a{ /*IE only hack*/ width: 100%; } .dropmenudiv a:hover{ /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/ background-color: #0000ff; color: #fff200; } 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.

It has tiered drop downs which extend off the end of the page to the right. Is there a way to make them flip left ONLY if they are at the end of the page? I did do some javascript that takes the last element and gives it a class that can make it flip, as in the image. But if there are only 3 menu items that would look a bit goofy. Anyone else encounter this issue and how did they resolve it? 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 took a basic menu code and have edited it a bit for my site, but I am having an issue here. The menu shows a simple background per line as well as a top graphic and bottom graphic for the top and bottom (duh). If I have one link per line, all is fine, but I am trying to fit 7 links on one line, each link being a single letter. I want it to look like this: Browse by Letter: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z But when I add more than one link inbetween the <li>'s, it puts each link on a separate line. Here is the css, can anyone help me figure out what to change to allow multiple links on each line?

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!!! First let me start of with this for doing all this work for my drop down menu and then finding out that IE6 (apparently 50% of people browsing) doesn't support :hover except on anchor tags. Here is my situation. I finally got my drop down menu working. However, there are three issues. when I hover over the 'companies' menu item 1) the menu expands and pushes the 'blog' and 'contact' menu items further down the menu. I will say that I did not define a width on the li tags because this is actually for a wordpress theme and I wanted to allow for more pages that might be added later. I thought that by defining a width I would be more likely to fill up my menu container. 2) the child/nested li tags aren't under the parent li tag. Basically the sub-menu items show up to the bottom and right of the 'companies' menu item. I want them to show up directly underneath the parent menu item. 3) the longer sub-menu items (nested li tags) are not showing up on the same line. It's like there is a width that is causing them to overlap or go down to the next row. Not sure if that makes sense. I am wanting it to appear on one line no matter how long the menu item is. I am sure that not defining a width on the li tags have something to do with some of these problems but I wanted others to take a look at it. Code(validated) and styles below. Tried to keep it simple. there are two img files that I use as well but couldn't figure out how to upload those. Any and all help from the CSS gurus will be greatly appreciated.

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, I have this drop down menu, but the parents are appearing under each other, instead of next to each other. I am trying to create a horizontal menu with sub items appear under the parent items. this is my code: PHP Code: #menu2 { width: 800px; float:left } #menu2 ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 12em; float: left; } #menu2 a, #menu2 h2 { font: bold 11px/16px arial, helvetica, sans-serif; display: block; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #ccc #888 #555 #bbb; margin: 0; padding: 2px 3px; } #menu2 h2 { color: #fff; background: #000; text-transform: uppercase; } #menu2 a { color: #000; background: #efefef; text-decoration: none; } #menu2 a:hover { color: #a00; background: #fff; } #menu2 li {position: relative; float:left; width: 200px;} a.mainlevel{background-color: #000000!important; display:inline-block} #menu2 ul ul { position: absolute; z-index: 500; float:left } #menu2 ul ul ul { position: absolute; top: 0; } div#menu2 ul ul, div#menu2 ul li:hover ul ul, div#menu2 ul ul li:hover ul ul {display: none;} div#menu2 ul li:hover ul, div#menu2 ul ul li:hover ul, div#menu2 ul ul ul li:hover ul {display: block;} Can anyone see anything wrong? Many thanks I have made a menu which I love because it is the layout that I want. However, I am having problems with the menu when I try to add a "Drop Down" feature to it. The menu I currently have and use is: http://www.gc40.com/menu2.html I would like to turn some of the tabs like services into a drop down menu. I found a script that was a drop down menu and I tried to customize it to match my original menu but failed. The script that I found is: http://www.gc40.com/menu1.html Is there anyone that can customize http://www.gc40.com/menu2.html for me using http://www.gc40.com/menu1.html so that I can have drop down capabilities? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks guys. 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? 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; clear:both; z-index:1; } .product_info { float:left; width:500px; position:relative; z-index:1; } .product_image { float:right; margin:auto; margin-top:20px; margin-bottom:20px; position:relative; font:10px arial; color:#666666; text-align:center; z-index:1; } .clear { clear:both; margin-top:-1px; height:1px; overflow:hidden; } Any thoughts? Thanks 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.. Please help? =) ------------------------ Code: #PageList1 ul { height: 1.5em; overflow:hidden; margin: 10px -10px 5px; width: 100%; padding: 10px; background-image:url('http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WKkxGKrRVcw/TbFWFn_2VxI/AAAAAAAAAis/NKf1k3sO9A8/s1600/nav_bg2.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-x; } #PageList1 li { height: 1.5em; list-style-type:none; float:left; } #PageList1 li a { display:block; height: 1.5em; width:auto; clear:left; font-weight:bold; font-size:9pt; line-height: 0.5em; margin: -9px 0px -23px; color: #ffffff; background-image:url('http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vhqPwC7csIg/TSUQG6Q3tfI/AAAAAAAAAYU/5ceiGi8na3s/s1600/gradient40px.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-x; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; padding: 10px 10px 15px; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-right: 0px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 0px solid #ccc; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; -moz-border-radius: 5px; border-radius: 5px; -moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000; -webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000; box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000; } #PageList1 li a:hover, #PageList1 li a.sfhover { background:transparent; font-weight:bold; color: white; } #PageList1 li ul { left: -999em; position: absolute; width: 13em; /* Width to help Opera out */ height: auto; background-color: #ccc; colour:#fff; clear: left; } #PageList1 li:hover ul, #PageList1 li.sfhover ul { left: auto; margin: 8px -80px 0px; width: 13em; height: auto; background: #ccc; } #PageList1 li:hover li a, #PageList1 li.sfhover li a { background:#ccc; border: 0px solid #ccc; border-right: 0px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 0px solid #fffccc; -webkit-border-radius: 0px; -moz-border-radius: 0px; border-radius: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 5px 0px 0px; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000; box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px #000; color: #000; } #PageList1 li li a:hover, #PageList1 li li a.sfhover { background-color: #ccc; color: #fff;} <script type='text/javascript'> sfHover = function() { var sfEls = document.getElementById("PageList1").getElementsByTagName("LI"); for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) { sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() { this.className+=" sfhover"; } sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() { this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover\\b"), ""); } } } if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover); </script> 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.
