CSS - Css/js Dynamic Menu
Hi All,
I've got one of those wonderful CSS/javascript flyout menu's running on my website which is causing me a little bit of grief in Firefox and Safari. Firefox and Safari seem to be placing the 2nd and 3rd level items of the menu underneath all the other content on the page and therefore can't be seen. Seems to work well on Opera and IE. Here are the screen shots of what is happening in each browser: http://dev.platforminteractive.com.au/cssissue/css_ff.jpg - firefox http://dev.platforminteractive.com.au/cssissue/css_opera.jpg - opera http://dev.platforminteractive.com.au/cssissue/css_ie.jpg - ie You can take a look at the site and the coding behind it at http://dev.platforminteractive.com.au - just in development atm but this nav is causing me some grief. Similar TutorialsHi , I followed this tutorials (http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/centered-dropdown-menus) and was successfully able to create a dynamic menu . At the moment the menu displays just one drop down and not multi submenus drop-downs. Can anybody tell me what can i add to implement something like ? Tab1 Tab2 Link 1 > Link1.1 Link1.2 Link2 . My css code is :- body{behavior:;} body{behavior:url(cssHoverFix.htc);} /* Main menu settings */ #centeredmenu { clear:both; float:left; margin:0; padding:0; border-bottom:1px solid #000; /* black line below menu */ width:100%; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; /* Menu font */ font-size:90%; /* Menu text size */ z-index:1000; /* This makes the dropdown menus appear above the page content below */ position:relative; } /* Top menu items */ #centeredmenu ul { margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none; float:right; position:relative; right:50%; } #centeredmenu ul li { margin:0 0 0 1px; padding:0; float:left; position:relative; left:50%; top:1px; } #centeredmenu ul li a { display:block; margin:0; padding:.6em .5em .4em; font-size:1em; line-height:1em; background:#ddd; text-decoration:none; color:#444; font-weight:bold; border-bottom:1px solid #000; } #centeredmenu ul li.active a { color:#fff; background:#000; } #centeredmenu ul li a:hover { background:#36f; /* Top menu items background colour */ color:#fff; border-bottom:1px solid #03f; } #centeredmenu ul li:hover a, #centeredmenu ul li.hover a { /* This line is required for IE 6 and below */ background:#36f; /* Top menu items background colour */ color:#fff; border-bottom:1px solid #03f; } /* Submenu items */ #centeredmenu ul ul { display:none; /* Sub menus are hidden by default */ position:absolute; top:2em; left:0; float:left; right:auto; /*resets the right:50% on the parent ul */ width:10em; /* width of the drop-down menus */ } #centeredmenu ul ul li { left:auto; /*resets the left:50% on the parent li */ margin:0; /* Reset the 1px margin from the top menu */ clear:left; float:left; width:100%; } #centeredmenu ul ul li a, #centeredmenu ul li.active li a, #centeredmenu ul li:hover ul li a, #centeredmenu ul li.hover ul li a { /* This line is required for IE 6 and below */ font-size:.8em; font-weight:normal; /* resets the bold set for the top level menu items */ background:#eee; color:#444; line-height:1.4em; /* overwrite line-height value from top menu */ border-bottom:1px solid #ddd; /* sub menu item horizontal lines */ float:left; width:100%; } #centeredmenu ul ul li a:hover, #centeredmenu ul li.active ul li a:hover, #centeredmenu ul li:hover ul li a:hover, #centeredmenu ul li.hover ul li a:hover { /* This line is required for IE 6 and below */ background:#36f; /* Sub menu items background colour */ color:#fff; float:left; } /* Flip the last submenu so it stays within the page */ #centeredmenu ul ul.last { left:auto; /* reset left:0; value */ right:0; /* Set right value instead */ } #centeredmenu ul ul.last li { float:right; position:relative; right:.8em; } /* Make the sub menus appear on hover */ #centeredmenu ul li:hover ul, #centeredmenu ul li.hover ul { /* This line is required for IE 6 and below */ display:block; /* Show the sub menus */ } Html Code is :-- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <HTML> <html> <LINK REL=StyleSheet HREF="nat.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA=screen> <body> <div id="centeredmenu"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Tab one</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link one</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link two</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link three</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link four</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link five</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="active"><a href="#" class="active">Tab two</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link one</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link two</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link three</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link four</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link five is a long link that wraps</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Long tab three</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link one</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link two</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link three</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link four</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link five</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Tab four</a> <ul class="last"> <li><a href="#">Link one</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link two</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link three</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link four</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link five</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> </body> </html> Regards, Umair Well I honestly have no idea which forum to stick this in so I'll start here? As the title says I'm trying to make a simple css tab menu, except I'm making it very difficult lol. The problem that I'm having is not only must the tabs be able to expand and contract depending on the content/word inserted, and also if a new category is created it must create another tab. There will always be one tab present labeled home/index/etc., centered in the design. Like this As a new category/page is created/included via php a new tab shows and they stay centerd. Like this This goes on to make a total of six tabs. As of right now I was planning on using these mac style tabs for the tab images but that seems to be whats making this the most diffucult.Especially since I wanted to use a diffrent tab image for the tabs when they are selected. This would be pretty straightforward in a table layout but I'm really trying for a completely css page. I would greatly appreciate any advice if this even sounds possible the way I described, some other way possibly, or if I'm just shooting for a pipedream. Thanks very much in advance. Hey all, I downloaded this DHTML script for a Dynamic-Fx Slide-In Menu from http://www.dynamicdrive.com and i'm facing some trouble. The menu suits my needs perfectly with only 1 problem. I want to position the menu in a fixed location on my website somewhere other than the edge of the screen, so i adjust the xy coordinates in the ssmItems.js file to do so...the problem is that the menu changes location depending on whether the window is maximized or not and on the resolution of the monitor. I want it to stay in 1 place ALWAYS! How? PLEASE HELP! there are two .js files associated with this scrip, ssmItems.js & ssm.js and a bit of html in the <head> section of the file into which the menu is placed. Please find all 3 below: HTML code in <head> section: <STYLE> <!-- A.ssmItems:link {color:black;text-decoration:none;} A.ssmItems:hover {color:black;text-decoration:none;} A.ssmItems:active {color:black;text-decoration:none;} A.ssmItems:visited {color:black;text-decoration:none;} //--> </STYLE> <SCRIPT SRC="ssm.js" language="JavaScript1.2"> </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT SRC="ssmItems.js" language="JavaScript1.2"></SCRIPT> <script type="text/javascript"> Code from ssmItems.js file <!-- /* Configure menu styles below NOTE: To edit the link colors, go to the STYLE tags and edit the ssm2Items colors */ YOffset=188; // no quotes!!

The tabs should stretch to fit the text in it. The blank area after the last tab should fit to the end of the table as well. It was working before, but a change in text-length caused issues so apparently it was not truly dynamic. Here's the coding. If you have a solution using XHTML that is fine but it must work within other tables that are not XHTML-COMPLIANT, else it will screw up. HTML Code: <table class='tab_thin_table'> <tr> <td class='tab_start_on' rowspan='2'></td> <td class='tab_bg_on' rowspan='2'><span class='header_text'><a href='|LINK|'>LINK ONE</a></span></td> <td class='tab_end_on' rowspan='2'></td> <td class='tab_start_off' rowspan='2'></td> <td class='tab_bg_off' rowspan='2'><span class='header_text'><a href='|LINK|'>LINK TWO</a></span></td> <td class='tab_end_off' rowspan='2'></td> <td class='tab_start_off' rowspan='2'></td> <td class='tab_bg_off' rowspan='2'><span class='header_text'><a href='|LINK|>LINK THREE</a></span></td> <td class='tab_end_off' rowspan='2'></td> <td class='tab_start_off' rowspan='2'></td> <td class='tab_bg_off' rowspan='2'><span class='header_text'><a href='|LINK|'>LINK FOUR</a></span></td> <td class='tab_end_off' rowspan='2'></td> <td class='tab_thin_spacer'></td> </tr> <tr> <td class='tab_thin_top'></td> </tr> </table> CSS Code:

Im trying to make a link that is based on 2 images, one for the un-hovered or normal state, and the other for the hover state. I just did 2 of these at 3dotmedia.com/redesign and now I'm trying to do the same thing at greedydogkennel.com/redesign but it WILL NOT WORK. I am totally stumped, it has to be something to do with the positioning inside my css I assume... on the page, I want the pictures of the dogs to be normal, but when hovered I have a frosty shaded grey image (as in some kind of lighting) to serve as the hover state..I am masking the a href with a class with a transparent .gif (since SOMETHING has to serve as the object of the anchor yes?) but here is my css: .rock-link {background-image: url(looks/Rock_small_w_frame.jpg); } .rock-link:hover {background-image: url(looks/Rock_small_w_frame-up.jpg); } .suade-link {background-image: url(looks/Suadey_Ladysmall_w_frame.jpg); } .suade-link:hover {background-image: url(looks/Suadey_Ladysmall_w_frame-up.jpg); } and the HTML is as follows: <a href="suade.html" class="suade-link"><img src="looks/seethru2.gif" border="0"/></a> <img src="looks/spacer2.gif" border="0" /> <a href="rock.html" class="rock"><img src="looks/seethru.gif" border="0" /></a></div> but there is nothing that displays, only the transparent .gif on the index page you will not see any images under the heading "The Dogs" because this is where the problem is, but if you click on any of the links you will see the pages where I have not applied the class for the a href to take on the hover states, just so you can see how the images look and where they appear. I have done this so many times, and my code is IDENTICAL at 3dotmedia.com/redesign and it works fine...any help would be GREATLY appreciated...it has to be something Im missing, but WHAT?!?!? thanks. 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.

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.) (bits of the code that relate to the menu) PHP Code: .btn1 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 200px; } .btn2 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 240px; } .btn3 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 280px; } .btn4 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 320px; } .btn5 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 360px; } .btn6 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 400px; } .btn7 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 440px; } .btn8 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 480px; } .link1 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 240px; } .link2 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 280px; } .link3 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 320px; } .link4 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 360px; } .link5 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 400px; } .link6 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 440px; } .link7 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 480px; } .link8 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 520px; } .link9 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 560px; } #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; } #nav a { display: block; width: 100px; } #nav li { width: 100px; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; width: 100px; left: -9999px; display: none; top: 0; z-index: 3; } #nav li:hover ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } #nav li:over ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } PHP Code: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn1" src="../mainbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MainBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn2" src="../blogbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="BlogBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link1"><a href=""><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="bMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link2"><a href="#"><img src="../anmbtn.gif" alt="bAnimeBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="#"><img src="../mgabtn.gif" alt="bMangaBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="#"><img src="../gmebtn.gif" alt="bGameBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="#"><img src="../bookbtn.gif" alt="bBookBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img class="btn3" src="../musebtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MuseBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link2"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="mMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../pmbtn.gif" alt="mPoemBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../stybtn.gif" alt="mStoryBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../drmbtn.gif" alt="mDreamBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img class="btn4" src="../oddbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ComicBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="cMainBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBart.htm"><img class="btn5" src="../artbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ArtBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="aMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="aRecentBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../gaibtn.gif" alt="aGaiaBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img class="btn6" src="../picbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="PicsBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="pMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="pRecentBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBfaq.htm"><img class="btn7" src="../faqbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="FaqBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBcon.htm"><img class="btn8" src="../contactbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ContactBtn"></a> </li> </ul> <script type="text/javascript" src="drop_down.js"></script> the "nav" is referring to a bit of js, and this is in my header. Also not sure if it's correct, but I can worry about that later. link: The Page I am a photographer for a website and I know very little about anything other than basic html. With the website lady gone on a trip around the world for a year, I ended up being the person to attempt to modify our side menu to show an additional column of subcategories. I tinkered around with the code we had and I managed to get this to work in Firefox, however in IE7 the contents of the menu shift down a few pixels when you hover over a category. To view my problem, go to scannerparts.biz I've messed around with this for a few days and everything has become a big confusing mess so I have no choice but give in and ask for help. I thank anyone in advance for any assistance you can offer. -Emerson Here is the code: hover.css Code:

I'm helping these fine folks fix a few little issues with their site but this one I can't seem to quite figure out. If you roll over the main menu you will see the sub menu slide down on the left. For the life of me I can't get it to line up under the main nav. I've tried many, many things. Can anyone provide a few hints, tips, suggestions?

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! Ok, I know virtually nothing about css, but realized that that a css menu is better for SEO. Anyway I found this vertical menu that works the way I want it. But I also need a horizontal version of it with dropdown submenus. Can someone help with this? I have been trying a bunch of things but it just looks awful and doesn't work right. It has 3 basic componets; Html, Javascript, and css. Here they are below. drop_down.js: Code: // JavaScript Document
startList = function() {
if (document.all&&document.getElementById) {
navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
node = navRoot.childNodes[i];
if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
node.onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=" over";
}
node.onmouseout=function() {
this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
}
}
}
}
}
window.onload=startList;

I'm using the suggestions of those on here and using the http://www.dynamicsitesolutions.com...2/#relatedLinks menu (I'm a little confused over what the differences are but that's the least of my problems) What I want is a 2nd level drop down menu, but I'm clueless on how to go about it..??? Hi folks. I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a template I've been working with (struggling with). It has a style sheet attached to it and I'm trying to replace the main, static menu with a drop down Spry Menu. I've managed to get most of it figured out but my dropdowns aren't colored correctly. The Spry Menu isn't centered on the page. The menu titles are spread out too far also (ie. it's suppose to be "About Me" but the "Me" is way below the "About"). I'm guessing it's probably an easy fix for you all but I've been playing with it all day without a lot of progress. Thank you. Let me know if I should post links. 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 want to make it so that when you go to type something into the textbox(lastname or firstname) the menu stays open. right now if you try and type something into the textbox the menu closes but you still keep right on writing and then go back into the menu and click the submit button. I also want it so that you can press the <enter> key on your keyboard and it will submit the search query that you are working on. if there is a better way of doing this all please let me know this is menu.php PHP Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>BHI and Roth's Website menu</title> <?php <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="menu_css.css" /> </head> <BODY STYLE="background-color:transparent"> <ul class="pureCssMenu pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="home.php" target="showframe">Home</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>Fill-in a form</span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="form_bhi_hoac.php" target="showframe">102HOAC</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="form_for_adding_email_addresses.php" target="showframe">Email database</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="form_support_application.php" target="showframe">Support Application</a></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>View the form data</span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="view_102hoac.php" target="showframe">102HOAC</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>Search Addressbook by:</span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>Last Name:</span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><form class="pureCssMenui" action="lastname_search.php" method="post" target="showframe"><input type="text" name="lastname" size="30" /><input type="submit" align="right" value="Search" /></form></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>First Name:</span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><form class="pureCssMenui" action="firstname_search.php" method="post" target="showframe"><input type="text" name="firstname" size="30" /><input type="submit" align="right" value="Search" /></form></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--></li> </ul> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="sa.php" target="showframe">Support Application</a></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>Resources</span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenui"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="#"><span>View BHI Brochure -></span><![if gt IE 6]></a><![endif]><!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul class="pureCssMenum"> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="bhi_brochure_feb_08.pdf" target="_blank">in .pdf format</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="bhi_brochure_feb_08.swf" target="_blank">in .swf format</a></li> </ul> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="gallery.html" target="showframe">Photo Gallery</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="edit.php" target="showframe">Edit account information</a></li> <li class="pureCssMenui"><a class="pureCssMenui" href="logout.php" target="_top">Logout</a></li> </ul> </body> </html> <?php } } } else //if the cookie does not exist, they are taken to the login screen { header("Location: login.php"); } ?> </html> And this is menu_css.css Code: #pcm{display:none;}

I was thinking of using DIVs insteed of table to layout my page. The page would be dynamic meaing the text would come from DB so i would have new articles comming in daily. I will like I cant controll where the text is put on the text. If I use CSS width="20px" and hight"20px",, <-- Yeah i know it down to the pixle,, but that would mean i would need to make a new CSS for every article that where put into the db. <-- which would be a pain. So how can I keep the controll of placing my text without using tables ? Please help a new CSS user. I have <div> content that diplays at different sizes in IE and Mozilla, which makes lining up the <div> container below it difficult. How can I get the <div> container to expand to the size of the content height wise so that I can then capture it's height with js, setting the <div> container below it to it's proper poisition. Thanks. Hi Guys... (and Girls) Great Forum you have going here... I've got a quick question regarding Dynamic CSS. I need to mention now though - I'm doing some development work at the moment, but, I'm not a developer so my approach and question might seem unusual to the experienced guys out there. Situation: I'm currently building a new site which is styled completly with CSS - e.g. No Tables or Cells. It's the first time I've done it but it's working great! The website is currently a fixed 760px across so that it will fit into 800 x 600 screen. Market research suggests about 20% of the visitors to this site use a 800 x 600 screen resolution and so I don't want them to have a horizontal scroll bar, but I would like the site to be at least 800px across for everyone not using a 800 x 600 screen resolution. My question is - Can I use a Javascript function to grab the screen resolution of a visitor to the site and then dynamically update the CSS of the site depending on screen resolution? And if so do you think it's a good approach? I'm sure there are others ways to do it but I'd prefer to work within the skills I already have, which includes Javascript and PHP. Thanks for the help... Matt Edwards Hi I'm trying to CSS a dynamic table using Dreamweaver CS4 the problem i have is to set my css i have to have 2 rows 1 odd 1 even and dreamweaver only gives me 1.

Example: I am going to be generating blocks dynamically, and instead of writting all these blocks into a stylesheet, I wondered if you could do it using wildcards. Example: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<!-- Creation date: 01.10.2004 -->
<head>
<title></title>
<meta name="description" content="" />
<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#block {color: red;}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="block">Text</div>
<div id="block2">Text 2</div>
<div id="block3">Text 3</div>
<div>Text 4</div>
</body>
</html>
Changing the #block reference to #block* doesn't work, any ideas? I don't want to have to add #block, #block2, #block3 {color: red;} etc... |
