CSS - Centering All Items On Suckerfish Menus?
I am not sure how to centre all items on the suckerfish menus:
I thought this would work, but it doesn't and even if it did it won't validate: <ul id="nav"> <div style="text-align:center;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;"> NAV ELEMENTS HERE... </div> </ul> Surely someone has had to centre there suckerfish menu to a fixed width box..or any box for that matter. Similar TutorialsWas referred to Suckerfish and find it very useful but I cannot figure out how to center the menu line on the screen (inside a table or not). Oddly, it automatically centers in IE but not Chrome or Firefox. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!! I can post an example of what I mean but don't want to violate the new users guidelines. Good morning I can't seem to get the footer menu on my site (philipus.com) appear like I want it (it's Stu Nicholl's Skeleton Up menu). These are the problems. 1. The menu items (Start, Galleries etc) are all pushed to the left. I tried text-align: center in the #nav, li and ul but it doesn't work. How can I center them? 2. A border is defined in #nav ul which makes it appear also around the Galleries and Wallpapers pop-up menus. How can I ensure that it only appears around the pop-up menus? 3. The pop-up menu above the Galleries link isn't centered, but the pop-up above the Wallpapers links seems to be. Why is this and how can I ensure both are centered? 4. In IE, the pop-up menu items move to the left when the cursor hovers over them. How do I prevent this? 5. How can I make the pop-up menus a little bit "sticky", such that they allow you to slowly move the cursor up to them? Currently one has to move the cursor quickly to the pop-up menu otherwise it disappears. Does this have to do with the pop-up menus not overlapping a few pixels with the main menu? 6. I noticed when placing the menu in the middle of the page that the copyright text below the menu moved to the right. How can I ensure that the copyright text isn't affected by the menu? Thanks immensely for your help. The menu's stylesheet is below. /p Code: #nav,
#nav ul {padding:0 0 5px 0; margin:0; list-style:none; font: 10px verdana, sans-serif; border:1px solid #000; border-color:#ace #79b #68a #bde; border-width:1px 2px 2px 1px; background:#fff; position:relative; z-index:200;}
#nav {height:25px; padding:0;}
#nav li {float:left;}
#nav li li {float:none; background:#fff;}
/* a hack for IE5.x and IE6 */
* html #nav li li {float:left;}

/* it could have been this simple if all browsers understood */
/* show next level */
#nav li:hover li:hover > ul {left:-15px; margin-left:100%; bottom:-7px; top:auto;}
/* keep further levels hidden */
#nav li:hover > ul ul {position:absolute; left:-9999px; top:-9999px; width:auto;}
/* show path followed */
#nav li:hover > a {text-decoration:underline; color:#57b;}
/* but IE5.x and IE6 need this lot to style the flyouts and path followed */
/* show next level */

#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover ul,
#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover ul,

http://www.sdtars.com/development/ I can't figure out why I can't get them to popup over the other menus. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? Thanks! Suckerfish came into my life recently and has not only offered a great deal of freedom with dynamic menus at lower overheads than most (totally) Javascript alternatives, but has also had me tearing hairs out more frequently than most other things I know. The problem I currently face is when viewing my menus in IE6. At first this suggests that the issues lie within the Javascript of the Suckerfish menus... The pages in questions are located at the following addresses (please excuse the mid-construction state of each): www.cheapboilers.com/sandbox/index.html www.cheapboilers.com/sandbox/baxi_105.html Take the grey vertical menu on the left hand side. The first level appears fine, but the problem is with the second level. In index.html all appears well. However in baxi_105.html when moving down the list in the second level menu the menu disappears when moving from the first to the second item. At first I thought the problem was to do with the margins surrounding the elements - I thought the li element had detected the mouse as having left the element as it passed over the border. If this were true then the same would happen with the index.html page (which uses the same code/html/css). It does not. My current theory is that the other elements on the page are somehow interfering with the Suckerfish menus. Index.html has nothing but text in the content of the page. baxi_105.html has images, links etc in it. This theory is backed up by going to the bottom list item in index.html (Worcester) and viewing the second level menu for it. The menu vanishes as with all the menus on baxi_105.html. It is as if the footer of the page is interfering with the operation of the menus. This disappearing menu issue is driving me up the wall. Please can someone offer a solution? Thanks in advance. Andy I want to make the drop downs on suckerfish menus appear horizontally rather than vertically. Any ideas how to? PHP Code: <style type="text/css"> #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; background-color: red; color: #000; } #nav a { display: block; width: 10em; color: #FFF; } #nav li { float: left; width: 10em; background-color: green; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; width: 10em; left: -999em; } #nav li:hover ul { left: auto; } #nav li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul { left: auto; } </style> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="#">Percoidei</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Remoras</a></li> <li><a href="#">Tilefishes</a></li> <li><a href="#">Bluefishes</a></li> <li><a href="#">Tigerfishes</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Anabantoidei</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Climbing perches</a></li> <li><a href="#">Labyrinthfishes</a></li> <li><a href="#">Kissing gouramis</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pike-heads</a></li> <li><a href="#">Giant gouramis</a></li> </ul> </li> <!-- etc. --> </ul> I thought I could change the BLOCK display of the #nav a to INLINE but that doesn't work. We want the dropdowns to appear as 1 2 3 4 5 rather than 1 2 3 4 5 Thanks Hello my helpful comrades, I'm having some problems with the ol' Suckerfish in IE. It seems the second list is floating left, insead of appearing beneath the first list, and "clear:" won't fix it. I've been looking over the CSS all morning, but can't seem to locate the problem. The menus display perfectly in Fx. I have a feeling a lack of sleep is making me mildly stupid, but the slow progress thus far has driven me to seek help I've put the menu in a seperate .css file from the main layout to make it easier to read: CSS HTML Cheers! Hi fowks, Normally I'm able to solve CSS issues relatively easily, well with some experimentation at least. However, this one has really got me stumped. Basically, I'm developing a menu for a weblication which is based on the famous Suckerfish menus. Everything works ok in IE and Mozilla when in an Left-to-Right (LTR) environment, but it doesn't work quite so well when the direction is flipped to RTL. IE copes fine, but FF doesn't. The menu works itself, but the viewport doubles in size and scrolls off to the right, even though there are no elements there. Anyone got an idea as to what could be doing this? I've included the relevant files for you to trial. Thanks for having a look. Hope you can help. It's driving me nuts. Cheers, John I have been developing some dropdown menus loosely based on Patrick Griffiths "Suckerfish" example (see http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/) and I have a prototype mostly working. The code is simple and is included in full below. However I see two problems with this that I can't sort out. First, in IE (6.0.2800) the dropdown is offset significantly from the left edge of the upper menu cell. In Mozilla (1.7.5) it's fine. I can't figure out why -- any ideas? I want it right underneath, not offset. Also, in Mozilla the dropdowns have a 1-pixel space at the right edge between the background and the border. Also a mystery ... Thanks for any comments / thoughts. Tom ======================================================== Code:

I'm trying to use suckerfish style drop downs, based on CSS with javascript only for an Internet Explorer hack. It's working fine for a single horizontal row of menus, however I wanted to setup a few rows of other menus underneath the first row. The problem is that the dropdown goes underneath the menus under it and I can't figure out how to fix it. This is an example of the problem. Any suggestions? Hi I hope this is going to be a simple question!! I have used the suckerfish menu and all I would like to do is have the menu in the center of the page with a blue border extending from the sides of the menu to the edge of the page. The page can be viewed on http://uk.geocities.com/g_foxon/example1.htm cheers Wistar Good Evening, Am very glad to find this board. Am working on my first paid Joomla site - and the Suckerfish menu's do not seem to center, and I cannot find any directions on how to go about making them so. Also, many sites I've visited will scale to the size of the window open (until too small) - am using the JNS Epic Pro Template and was wondering if there was any CSS feature to program the whole site to scale as best possible. Hope this makes sense. Am not new to computers, but rather a newbie to Joomla and CSS (although I do know a little). If any further info is required, please just advise. Thanking you in advance ... going live on 7/1 ... Hello, I'm customising a theme in wordpress and having a problem centering the three widgets that appear in the footer at the bottom. Nothing seems to work that I have tried. I know very little about css but understand the basic principle but can't seem to find the problem. I want the footer to be 100% the width of the page and for the three wigets to be in a single row of 3 but in the center and not off to the left. I've tried adjust the float but it just stacks them on top of each other set to none and over to the right set to right... I've inlcuded the CSS below and also the code in my footer.php page.

I finally found a fix that worked on css list navigation that i could use that'll work in IE but i cant seem to center each menu item to each respective rollover image (the BG gifs). Some help on this would be greatly appreciated, i cant seem to find anything to fix this.

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, 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 built a custom Suckerfish CSS dropdown nav, with a portion of the code for which is below: Code:
#nav {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #67670f;
text-align: left;
}
ul {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
}
li.navsep {
float: left;
width: 2px;
}
li.home {
float: left;
position: relative;
width: 61px;
}
li.home img {
border: 0;
}
li.ourproducts {
float: left;
position: relative;
width: 132px;
z-index: 500;
}
li.ourproducts img {
border: 0;
}
li.ourproducts ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 132px;
background-color: #fff;
}
li.ourproducts ul a, li.ourproducts ul a:visited {
display: block;
padding: 3px 0 3px 3px;
margin: 0;
color: #67670f;
text-decoration: none;
width: 129px;
}
li.ourproducts ul a:hover {
display: block;
background-color: #e4e2db;
color: #67670f;
text-decoration: none;
}
The focus is on the li.ourproducts a, li.ourproducts a:visited declaration. In IE6, the background on :hover is 3 pixels shy of covering the whole list item. I know this must have something to do with the padding. FF however, renders it fine. I figured that IE6 would handle the box model fine. When I make the width 132px however for li.ourproducts a, li.ourproducts a:visited, in IE6 it's fine and in FF it's 3 pixels farther than it should be (135px). Can anyone hint at what the problem might be? I can't seem to get the declaration so both see it fine. -B |
