CSS - Suckerfish Dropdown Positioning Ie:win
http://www.strutmag.com/menu06/
CSS In IE:Win The dropdown does not drop down right below the black tab, as it should; it starts to drop down about halfway through the tab. This is my first time really customizing a Suckerfish menu and I'm not really sure how I would go about tackling this problem. Thanks for any help or suggestions! Similar TutorialsI'm working on my first suckerfish dropdown for a site. I'm encountering two problems. 1) There is no background color on the subitems when i select the main item, making them hard to read 2) Internet Explorer displays the dropdown to the right of the main list item, rather than below. Netscape displays it correctly. Is this due to something I altered? Code:

Thanks for your help I'm modifying the Suckerfish dropdown menu, and while it looks perfect in FF, it's slightly off in IE (shocker, I know). In IE, the top-level menu items don't conform to the 20px height I've been using as a standard when you hover above them. I've done a ton of fiddling to see if I can solve the problem, but can't get it. I'm willing to bet the answer is simple, and that someone will catch something I missed. The menu is being developed at: http://ts.bisonman.com/dropdown_test.php And here's the code: Code: <style type="text/css">

http://www.describe.org/homework/esdcar http://www.describe.org/homework/esdcar/esdcar.css Three things: One is that in FF, etc, the dropdown for the single level labels (about, events) as opposed to the doubledecker ones (buyers) start too high -- not at the bottom of the box. I've tried playing with padding, height, margins...I must not have hit on the right combo yet, but I can't get it right. The second, though minor, is why there's a tiny crack that appears between one set of boxes (which set changes). I tried bumping up the width on one box by a tenth but that just caused the whole menubar to wrap down to a second line. The third is that the javascript doesn't work on IE. I copied it straight from the suckerfish/html dog tutorial and substituted the appropriate div name, but it's not working. (I haven't tried fixing anything else in IE yet, so it all looks bad...but the js should work.) late edit: I forgot to say that if I could, I'd like the single-level labels to be centered vertically, too, instead of up at the top... I've researched and tried just about every variation. The issue is in IE6. I have a CSS dropdown menu based on the suckerfish dropdown. But in my case, the main nav bar uses images (backgrounds) and the dropdowns are text. In IE6, the menu displays -- but disappears when you go to mouseover one of the sub-items. BUT, if you quickly mouse down past the first sub-item -- it will stay and work correctly. Very odd. Here's my HTML: Code: <ul id="navLeft"> <li id="home"><a class="topNav" href="/" title="Home">Home</a></li> <li id="services"><a class="topNav" href="#" title="Services">Services</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> </ul> </li> <li id="about"><a class="topNav" href="/about-us/" title="About Us">About Us</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> </ul> </li> <li id="resources"><a class="topNav" href="/resources/" title="Resources">Resources</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> </ul> </li> <li id="contact"><a class="topNav" href="/contact-us/" title="Contact Us">Contact Us</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> And here's my CSS: Code: #navLeft {

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm stumped. Hi everyone, I really need your precious help, I'm using a css:hover fix based on including a csshover htc file to my css as suckerfish solution in ie6. The problem is when I hover the buttons in any browser, the menus appear directly under the button (which I want to have) however in ie6, the menus appear at the right end of the menu. Any help will be appreciated.

Dear clever CSSers I am currently changing my flyout menu from something rather complex, to the Suckerfish version. I have one problem: I have been using some mouseover tooltip-like information boxes giving extra details of the contents of a link, by having a div within the text of the hyperlink, to come visible when hovered. It has worked very well in my old version. Here's my test page In the new version, there are two lines of CSS allowing the popup to open, which is also enclosed in a balloon-style info graphic, actually in two halves so that it can open like a clamshell if there is extra text in there, or a user has a larger than normal font setting: Code: #nav a span {visibility:hidden;position:absolute;top:-120px;left:175px;background: url(http://www.internetevangelismday.com/images/balloontop.png) no-repeat transparent top left;width:196px;height:105px;line-height:1.2em;text-align:left;word-wrap:break-word;text-wrap:normal;white-space:normal;padding:0px;} #nav a:hover span {visibility:visible;z-index:9999;min-height:130px;}
This CSS does allow the popup to appear, but unfortunately it positions each popup at the same position on the page. I would prefer it that they appeared with the 'point' of the balloon pointing at the relavent link. You can see that if you hover '2nd level here', and then 'page 1', or 'page 2' or 'another page', the info balloon appears in exactly the same place on the page. Changing the positioning from position absolute to position relative causes the popup to appear in about the correct position, but it also expands the link area on the menu itself to a huge blank area and misses off the balloontop.png graphic from the popup, which I presume is staying inserted, hidden, within the menu item and causing it to expand. Thanks for any ideas on this. BTW, the javascript is a neat one that repositions submenus where necessary so they can't vanish below the bottom of the page. Best wishes Tony Hi I am using suckerfish drop down menu without problem on my local server, however, on the remote server them menu won't work when jscript is turned off (when viewed on IE). Do you have any idea why this might be? has anyone had this problem before? (here is the url: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)) thanks a lot i am trying to use the suckerfish dropdown menu. starting from the pretty example, i got it going in IE6 but it looked pretty off in mozilla. i tinkered around further the the IE code which changed things a bit there and made things look a bit better in mozilla but not much! my code is at http://www.fizzycherry.com/menutest.html - i would *really* appeciate any ideas. the main things really bugging me a how can i get the menu bar to fill the width of the screen in mozilla? my navbar div did this before i inserted the sub menus! once i tinkered with my css, placing padding on the links rather than the li elements, huge vertical gaps started appearing in the submenus in both IE and Mozilla, even with no margins padding and borders. i need to *add* a bottom border (same colour as background) to remove these gaps! why?? ideally i would like the submenus to look somethign like they do in ie6 but even if someone could just tell me how to make the bar fill the screen i'd be chuffed! Hi, Can anyone help me. I am using a son of suckerfish dropdown menu on a joomla 1.5 site I am working on. laminatefabricators.com The menu is dropping down fine on all of my browsers (apple mac: safari, camino, firefox). & are fine on firefox for pc. The menus aren't displaying at all on Internet explorer. Please help... I have wasted so much time trying to fix it/find a fix. I am trying to get my suckerfish dropdown menu to be centered on the page regardless of the resolution of the monitor. I know this is possible, but I just can't wrap my head around it.

As you can see, I've just moved it over manually 145 px, and that centers it pretty well if you are viewing it at 1024x768, but at higher resolutions, the 145px is not sufficient for the centering. If anyone has an idea on how to fix it, I'd appreciate help. The solution must be able to validate, and work in both IE and a compliant browser (mozilla or firefox is what I use). Also, if the style sheet code can be cleaned up, or you see mistakes, don't hesitate to tell me. I've been learning CSS2.1 for about 3 months now, but I am not a whiz at it... I appreciate the help. Many thanks... Bryan Hi, q1)I can't move the menu to the right without problems as i set a margin on #headlinks2 and the links get cluttered? Code:
#headlinks2 {
height:25px;
}
#headlinks2 a {
color:green;
display: block;
text-decoration:none;
width: 100px;
font-size:13pt;
padding-right:5px;
//margin-left:205px;
}
#headlinks2 a:hover {
color: white;
}
#headlinks2, #headlinks2 ul {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#headlinks2 li {
float: left;
width: 100px;
}
#headlinks2 li ul {
position: absolute;
width: 100px;
left: -999em;
}
#headlinks2 li:hover ul {

Hi all This is the place I need help with http://www.simon.rochester.edu/source%20files/newpage/web5/ at the white navigation bar on the top, the dropdown is aligned to the top right corner rather than bottom left. I looked up suckerfish page and found out that's what IE does, so I added the fix: top:100%; left:0; to #topnav li ul However, nothing happens. I tried a slew of other things, nothing seems to change that bit. Can anyone help? Also if you notice, the white bar navigations are images, those images get compressed for some damn reason in IE. Mozilla doesn't have any of these problems. I implemented IE7 patch as well So I tried this popular drop-down menu technique and is all good except that the second-level menu links line up beside the top-level headers in IE6 instead of, well, dropping down (which thankfully does happen in FF). This would be very confusing for visitors trying to navigate! I have seen this problem described on forums and blogs but not found a solution. The example page at HTML Dog displays properly in IE6, which offers no insights . . . See the page in question: hire.karenjeane.com/web/site2.php Thanks for any help! If you are having problems with Son of Suckerfish and IE7, where the drop down menu will not disappear like it should. Take out the javascript because you do not need it with IE7, but if you still want IE6 to work then put it in. For IE7, you need to add Code: *:first-child+html #nav {
height: 1%;
}
*:first-child+html #nav li {
height: 1%;
}
to your css and you will be fine. Don't ask me why, Don't ask how, i just chalk it up to just IE I'm struggling with css on my joomla site. I'm trying to develop a dropdown that can have two levels to it. I've got something working with the following css but I have no idea what to change to line the menus up. Code: /* =======================================

I am currently using IE 7 and my test site is located at http://vcob.org/2008test if you want to see the menu in action go to that site and mouse over the "About Joomla" link in the menu across the top of the page. You should notice how the sub-menus stack on top of each other and I can't get them to line up. Any help would be so appreciated as I need to get this to work and I can't seem to get anyone at Joomla to help me, thanks in advance. Hi, Sorry to bother you all but I seem to have run into an awkward problem and I would be extremely greatful if anyone could help me. www.duncansweetland.com/development/menu_problem/menu_problem.html I am attempting to code up a design generated by an individual and he is very specific that no sizes are to be changed in his precious design. The navigation uses son of suckerfish menu (3 levels) with the second and third levels launching to the right of the previous column - somewhat strangely! The nav elements consisting of font-size: 11px and a line-height: 12px and a 1px gap between each element - which as you can imagine is quite small (too small in my opinion but he won't change it!) And while firefox has no problems navigating back through the nested lists, internet explorer is going insane - with sub-menu's dissappearing as you scroll down through them or as you try to launch them, making the whole thing completely un-navigable. I produced a bigger version : font-size: 12px and a line-height: 20px and a 1px gap between each element - which was stable in both I.E and Firefox as a soloution - but he was insistant that these sizes are way too big and that the sizes should remain as he set them. If anyone could provide me with a soloution / tell me where I am going wrong or suggest any alternative methods that would facilitate the same conclusion I would be truly delighted to hear from you - please get in touch even if it is just to tell me it's unfixable and a new soloution needs to be found. Thanks in advance, Duncan Sweetland I've messed with this for a couple days now. I can't seem to get it to do what I need it to. Any help would be much appreciated I need to add a 3rd column to the menu My code between the body and /body tags I marked the place I need the 3rd column with: *** ( Need to add a 3rd column for the filters ) *** Code: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="#">Home</a> </li> <li><a href="#">Maps</a> </li> <li><a href="history.php">History</a> </li> <li><a href="#">Contractors We Recommend</a> </li> <li><a href="#">Products We Recommend</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Pool Accessories</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Pool Accessories</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Accessories</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Accessories</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Accessories</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Accessories</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Pool Chemicals</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Pool Chemicals</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Chemicals</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Chemicals</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Chemicals</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Chemicals</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Pool Filters</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Pool Filters</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Filters</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Filters</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Filters</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pool Filters</a></li> </ul> </li> *** ( Need to add a 3rd column for the filters ) *** <li><a href="#">Pool Heaters</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Hayward</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pentair</a></li> <li><a href="#">Sta-Rite</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Pool Motors</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Pool Motors</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Pool Sweeps</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Hayward</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pentair</a></li> <li><a href="#">Sta-Rite</a></li> </ul> </li> <div id="content"> </div> Thanks for any help!
