CSS - Pure Css Hover Menu Spacing Issue In Ie
Hi,
This renders ok in firefox but not in IE, it places extra space between the elements. Can someone correct it for me please, i cant see where im going wrong. Thanks. the CSS: Code: #menu { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-top: 1px solid black; border-left: 1px solid black; border-right: 1px solid black; } #menu ul { border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; } #menu ul li { display: block; text-align: left; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } #menu ul li a { border-top: none; border-bottom: 1px solid black; padding: 2px; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: block; } #menu a:link, #menu a:visited { color: black; text-decoration: none; } #menu a:hover, #menu a:active { background-color: #fffed9; } the html: Code: <div id="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="#">item 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">item 2</a></li> <li><a href="#">item 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">item 4</a></li> <li><a href="#">item 5</a></li> </ul> </div> plug this in and view it in ie and you'll see what i mean. Similar TutorialsI followed the online examples pretty closely but for some reason the effect isn't working how it is supposed to. You'll see what i mean he http://www.mr-danny.com/example.html could anybody tell me what i'm doing wrong? Code: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> ul#menu{ position:relative; top:163px; left:405px; display: inline; list-style: none; list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; } ul#menu li{ display:inline; list-style-type:none; } ul#menu li ul.submenu{ display:none; } ul#menu li ul.submenu li{ display:block; } ul#menu li:hover > ul.submenu{ display:block; } </style> </head> <body> <ul id="menu"> <li class="home"><a href="" title="">Heading 1</a></li> <li class="services"><a href="" title="">Heading 2</a> <ul class="submenu"> <li><a href="" title="">sub 2-1</a></li> <li><a href="" title="">sub 2-2</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="" title="">Heading 3</a></li> <li><a href="" title="">Heading 4</a> <ul class="submenu"> <li><a href="" title="">sub 4-1</a></li> <li><a href="" title="">sub 4-2</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="" title="">Heading 5</a> <ul class="submenu"> <li><a href="" title="">sub 5-1</a></li> <li><a href="" title="">sub 5-2</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </body> </html> Hi everyone, I am having an issue with IE7 (imagine that) with a css drop down nav menu. On IE8 and Chrome the menus work flawlessly but in on IE7 the menu is behind the pictures on the page. The page is located at www.philadler.com/newlayout2.php. At first I thought it may be a z-index problem but the nav bar is set to 1000 and 900 depending on the menu and the thumbnails are set to 100. As of now the site validates on both css and xhtml 1.0 transitional. I can list any code if needed. Thanks for any help Phil Hi guys, Say I have a verticle menu, down the left hand side of my site. I want it so when you hover over each link, there are additional links that fly out to the right - of course you got that by the thread name. However, I'm having a bit of trouble, I don't know where to start really as many of the tutorials found are flawed in one way or another (that i've found). Some manage to push the rest of the nav links under it down, so basically Im asking how do I manage to create a nav where the fly out menu manages to 'stick' at the top of all content (to the right and the links under), pure CSS. Any additional tips on how to do this would be brilliant. Thanks in advance, Joe. So I have been working on a menu for my site and it's almost perfect except for one little problem. The dropdown menu displays correctly except for a page that you can only reach from that dropdown menu, you can visit the page here tylerkingdom.com/miltons_ethos/good.html. When hovering over "Case Studies" it repeats that background onto the Sub Nav but if you go back to the homepage and hover over "Case Studies" it displays correctly. I've hacked away at this for hours and still can't figure it out. If anyone has an idea please let me know. I have pasted the CSS below. Thanks Code: /* NAVIGATION */ #navigation { float: right; width: 420px; margin-top: 15px; } #navigation ul { display: inline; list-style-type: none; float: left; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } #navigation ul li { float: left; margin-left: 20px; height: 25px; width: 120px; } #nav li { float: left; position: relative; list-style: none; height: 45px; width: 120px; margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 20px; padding-top: 0; padding-right: 0; padding-bottom: 18; padding-left: 0; } /* main level link */ #nav a { text-decoration:none; display: block; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 22px; } /* sub levels link hover */ #nav a:link, #nav a:visited { background: none; border: none; color: #666; font-size: 14px; } #nav a:hover, #nav a:active { color: #E2383F; font-size: 14px; } /* dropdown */ #nav li:hover > ul { display: block; } /* level 2 list */ #nav ul { display: none; width: 130px; position: absolute; top: 39px; left: 0; background-color: #eee; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-right-color: #b4b4b4; border-bottom-color: #b4b4b4; border-left-color: #b4b4b4; margin-left: 10px; } #nav ul li { float: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav ul a { font-weight: normal; padding-left: 35px; } /* clearfix */ #nav:after { content: "."; display: block; clear: both; visibility: hidden; line-height: 0; height: 0; } #nav { display: inline-block; } html[xmlns] #nav { display: block; } #nav #nav_case { background-image: url(../images/case.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } #nav .current_case a, #nav #nav_case:hover { background-image: url(../images/case_hover.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } #nav #nav_quiz { background-image: url(../images/quiz.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } #nav .current_quiz a, #nav #nav_quiz:hover { background-image: url(../images/quiz_hover.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; outline: none; } #nav #nav_about { background-image: url(../images/about.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } #nav .current_about a, #nav #nav_about:hover { background-image: url(../images/about_hover.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; } I have a pure css menu that I like but it does not work with IE. works exactly as I want in firefox. in IE when I hover over the menu bar the list do not become visible any one know what I need to do to make it work?

One thing I want to do is add drop shadows. Right hand is OK - just a background image. To achieve a bottom drop shadow, I've added a small li item with a background image. Problem is, adding this extra li item at the end of each menu extends the length of the UL container, considerably more than is needed. In FF, it looks OK, (though there are a few unnecessary pixels above the shadow li item, but in IE, it extends way down below where the drop shadow li item is! Any ideas for removing this extra depth, ie pushing the ul border up, or another way of putting in a drop shadow. I have tried other things as well as an end li item, but the effect is the same! I suppose I could cover it up instead, but a css solution to do it properly would be better! Thanks for your wisdom! Tony I searched on google so that to build a pure CSS drop down menu. I have successfully followed some of the tutorials. However I always get stuck in some place or another. I have tried another attempt to do this but I am not getting the wanted results. Basically I want to make the drop down menu work on IE6, IE7 and FireFox. The first problem I face on IE7 is that the menu is not always displayed where I want it (under the link element) and on FireFox it is displayed ON it and not under it. The following is the code.

If anyone knows of any good tutorials please let me know. I do not want to waist anyones time, however the tutorials I found were not that good. Thanks for any Replies, Regards, Sim085 Hello. After days of searching, I have found my ideal menu system. I am trying to mimic it with some minor changes, due to the layout I already have for my website. I think the biggest problem is the fact that my second level drop down menu needs to be contained inside my first level menu boxes. These boxes also expand based on screen width. Here is the barebones version of Stu Nicholl's 'Simple Drop Down Menu': Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Welcome!</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> <style type="text/css"> /* remove the bullets, padding and margins from the lists */ .menu ul{ list-style-type:none;

Here is the CSS for the Menu (not cleaned up so pardon it's rag-tagness): Code: ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; } /* First Level */ li { float: left; position: relative; width: 10em; } li#first { border-left-width: 2px; } li#last { border-right-width: 2px; } /* Second Level -- Drop Downs */ li ul { display: none; position: absolute; top: 100%; left: 0; background: url(../images/backgroundvert.gif) bottom left no-repeat; padding: 3px 0 3px 8px; border-right: solid 1px #777777; } /* Reset for all non-IE Browswers*/ li > ul { top: auto; left: auto; } /* Show Second Level when First Level is Rolled Over */ li:hover ul, li.over ul{ display: block; } a { text-decoration: none; } a:link { color: #080; } a:visited { color: #790; } a:active { color: red; } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } #nav a { font-weight: bold; color: #149AF1; font-size:13px; } #nav a { text-decoration: none; } /* Drop Down Menu Links */ #nav li li a { display: block; font-weight: normal; color: #149AF1; padding: 0.2em 10px 0 15px; background-image:url(../images/bullet.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat; } #nav li li a:hover { padding: 0.2em 10px 0 15px; background-image:url(../images/bullet2.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat; text-decoration: underline; } #navs { border:1px 0 0 0; border-right: 0; width: 100%; padding-left:4px; height:20px; padding-top:3px; } .nonlink { font-weight: bold; color: #149AF1; font-size:13px; cursor:default; } 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: <!-- body { behavior: url(/images/csshover2.htc); } div#categorynav ul {margin: 0px; padding: 0px;} .submenu { position: relative;

Here's what it looks like in Firefox and Safari Here's what it looks like in IE As you can see there is a spacing issue in IE. This is a theme for Vanilla which uses list tags to generate the listing of forum topics, I'm trying to stay away from altering the original structure as much as possible (which gets messy), so I use Firebug to help me build the CSS. Any ideas? Hi Guys, I am having a small problem with IE, the height between <p> tags is considerably different to that of firefox. I think it is a padding problem but i am unable to crack it. The area i am referring to is the left side of the page where the two forms are and the images text. my website is here my css file can be found here Any suggestions? Hi all - I've got an issue and hoping someone has an idea how to help. I'm trying to correct an alignment issue within a page only using css - without modifying the code. What I have is a DIV with a SPAN and an INPUT box inside. The INPUT box should be set at 100% and aligned to the right. However, the SPAN section causes the textbox to scoot over outside of the div. How can I set the INPUT box to 100%, and stay within the DIV? I'd like to share an image to show you what I mean, but apparently since I'm new - I cannot do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm having a problem with my content div positioning in IE 6 only. The best way to show my issue would be to show you a screenshot of the issue with both IE 6 and IE 7 (see attached) IE6 is on the left and IE7 on the right. index.php Code: <div id="main"> <div id="content"> <div class="leftColumn"> <?php include_once "includes/inc_leftColumn.php"; ?> </div> <div class="rightColumn"> <?php include_once "includes/inc_rightColumn.php"; ?> </div> <div class="middleColumn"> <?php include_once "includes/inc_index_page.php"; ?> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <?php include_once "includes/inc_footer.php"; ?> </div> </div> attached stylesheet css Code: Original - css Code #content { width: 970px; height: auto; /*min-height: 500px;*/ margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; background: url('/media/images/global_content_background.gif') repeat-y; } #content div.leftColumn{ min-height: 435px; margin-left:5px; padding:15px 15px 15px 15px; float:left; width:170px; z-index:1; text-align: left; vertical-align: text-top; background: url('/media/images/global_leftcolumn_background.gif') no-repeat; } #content div.middleColumn{ min-height: 435px; padding:15px 15px 15px 15px; float:right; width:530px; text-align: left; vertical-align: text-top; } #content div.rightColumn{ min-height: 435px; padding:15px 15px 15px 15px; margin-right:5px; float:right; width:170px; text-align: left; vertical-align: text-top; background: url('/media/images/global_rightcolumn_background.gif') no-repeat; }
Hi everyone, I'm a little stumped on why I'm having a wide space showing up when viewing a particular page with FF and not IE7. Take a look at the following page... http://spotabusiness.com/View-user-profile.html?user=403 Notice the big space between the profile picture and the tabbed box below it in FF. This space doesn't exist when using IE7. Thanks for any input Theres a small spacing issue thats only coming up in opera for the navigation on this site. It seems to be only 1px, but I cant for the life of me find out where its coming from. The hover background doesn't extend all the way down, as it does in firefox/ie. I think its some issue with top:32px; in nav ul li, but I don't know what the solution is. Any help is appreciated.

Hi there, I am building a site which is working fine in Netscape but is not showing correctly in IE 6. The yellow line I have is not "listening" to its 10px height and there is some mystery spacing occuring around it at well....I have looked around, but can't seen to figure out what the fix is. I would really appreciate some help!

Those two are so tightly coupled the distinction blurs. My apologies if it is in the wrong forum. I adapted this social network bookmarking thing that I've seen kicking around. It uses prototype and scriptaculous that is why I am posting it here. It basically has an icon for each social network with a custom link to save the current page to the network in question. It appears on the following page http://demo.tixrus.us/calendar.php?filter=all below the calendar. The spacing is all wrong when it first renders, I want all the icons to be jam packed together. As you can see, it messes up and puts the last one at the beginning of a new row (not what I want). Now if you hide them and then click Social Networks again, they appear the way I wanted them in the first place. Is it because in the source each icon is on its own line? Code: <a href="xxxxx"><img ....../></a> <a href="yyyyy"><img ...../></a> as opposed to jam packing the codes into extremely long lines Code: <a href="xxxxx"><img ....../></a><a href="yyyyy"><img ...../></a> I remember this being an issue with most browsers many yrs ago.. I could run each row together on a huge line but it would make the code template even harder to read and maintain than it already is. So if there is some style thing I can do I would prefer to do that. The stylesheet for this stuff is at the bottom of http://demo.tixrus.us/styles/tixstyles.css I already explicitly set the height and width for the icons (they weren't previously) and that is fine but it was never the issue and it doesn't solve the spacing issue. |
