CSS - 3rd Level Slide Out Navigation

Hi all!

New to the forum, hopefully somebody will be able to help me out with a problem I am having!

I am currently working on a simple flat website and would like help with the layout. I know what I want, however I cant seem to get the code working

I will upload a picture outlining what I want to achieve, it would be pretty confusing to explain.

URL

Basicaly, heres the idea.

Header
Main Content Container
Footer

The footer must always be visible and stick to the bottom of the page. When displayed in higher screen resolutions, the footer is still at the bottom. That is within my ability, but I am having trouble formatting the Main Content Container. I want it to be a static height, regardless of screen size. However, if it is viewed in a lower screen resolution, the footer is going to eat into this height so I would like to get a vertical scroll bar to appear inside the Main Content Container div to accomodate for this.

I have trouble explaining what I mean please if you have the know how can you help me out? I'd really apreciate it!

Thanks in advance, hopefully I will be able to contribute to the forum in the future

Hi there,

I have a css drop down menu which displays items in a drop down menu, however, I want to add a second drop down to items that have sub categories, for example:


Main Link
--Drop Down
--- Sub category

This is my HTML:
PHP Code:
<ul id="nav">


        
                <li style="border-right: 1px solid #ffffff;">
                    <a href="#">home</a>                </li>
                <li style="border-right: 1px solid #ffffff;">
                    <a href="#">about us</a>
                    <ul>
                        <li><a href="#">Mission</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Staning Committees</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Directors</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Past Presidents</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
                <li style="border-right: 1px solid #ffffff;">
                    <a href="#">membership</a>
                    <ul>
                        <li><a href="#">Membership Categories</a></li>
                        
                        
                        <li><a href="#">Design & Print Media</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Website & Visual Design</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Website & Email Hosting</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Distibution</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </li> 
                <li style="border-right: 1px solid #ffffff;">
                    <a href="#">products</a>
                    <ul>
                    <li><a href="#">Our Products</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Product Distribution</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
                <li style="border-right: 1px solid #ffffff;">
                    <a href="#">properties</a>                </li>
                
                <li style="border-right: 1px solid #ffffff;">
                    <a href="#">advertising</a>                </li>
                
                <li style="border-right: 1px solid #000000;">

Any ideas how I can add a drop down to appear to the right of the drop downs which have further categories?

Any help would be great!
Thanks!

I cannot get IE to correctly display divisions using the z-index property. The following example works as I expect it to in Netscape, Safari and Opera, but not in IE. The intent is that the blue box should be on top of all others (by virtue of its higher z-index).

[I posted a similar question earlier, but this time I reduced the example to just the basics... it turns out that no complications such as forms, fieldsets, visibility, display, etc are needed to create the anomaly]

<body>
<div style="position:relative; z-index:auto">
<div style="position:absolute; left: 50px; background-color:blue; z-index: 10; width: 100px; height: 100px">
<p>this is the first overwriting box, which *should* hide everything</p>
</div>
<div style="background-color:red;">
<p>This line (actually the DIV) should define where the blue goes but be partially hidden by the blue!</p>
</div>
</div>
<div style="position:relative; z-index:1">
<div style="position:absolute; left: 75px; background-color:green; width: 100px; height: 100px; z-index: auto">
<p>This box should also get hidden by both the blue and green boxes</p>
</div>
<div style=" background-colorrange;">
<p>This section should follow the first text line, defining where the green box goes but be partially hidden by the both blocks</p>
</div>
</div>

</body>

The example is viewable at:
http://www.thedancegypsy.com/test/dancelistings/zdemo.htm

I have tried every variation I acn think of such as "z-index: auto;"

for reference the page had two divisions, each of which has two parts. The outer divison povides a contect for positioning the inner parts -- one of which should overlap the next division.

any ideas out there?

I have a site (inherited) that uses a site level CSS file.

The file contains ONLY these lines:

/* CSS definition file containing site wide stylesheets */
A:link { color: rgb(0,51,255);} /*unvisited*/
A:visited { color: rgb(0,51,255);} /*visited*/
A:hover { color: rgb(255,0,51);} /*hover*/
A:active { color: rgb(255,0,51);} /*active*/

A { color: rgb(51,51,255);} /*?????*/

I completely understand the first 4 lines and the purpose that they serve, but I need to understand the last line.

A { color: rgb(51,51,255);}

What does this do and what purpose does it serve?

Thanks!

I'm trying to add an extra level to a pop-out menu but can't get the third level to hide and display. The jscript function is suckerfish the css is a little here a little there...

CSS:

Code:

<style type="text/css"> 

  /* ==== STYLES FOR MAIN PART OF THE MENU ==== */
  #menu {
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 100%;
     width: 100px;
      padding: 0px;
       margin: 0px;
      display:block;
  }

   #menu, #menu ul {
      list-style: none;
       margin: 0px;
       padding: 0px;
         border: none;
  }

  #menu li ul ul { 
      margin: 0 0 0 0em; 
}

  #menu li {
        float:left;
         width:50px;
         position:relative;
        margin: 0px;
        padding: 0px;
  }

  #menu a {
      width:100px;
       font-size: 80%;
       color:#666666;
        text-decoration: none;
         border-bottom: 1px dashed #C39C4E;
          padding: 5px 0px 2px 4px;
        display: block;
  }

  #menu a:hover, #menu a:focus {
      color: #000000;
       background-color: #AAA;
  }




      /* === STYLES FOR THE MAIN MENU (LI's) === */
         .mainitems{
                display:block;
         }

  /* === STYLES FOR THE POP OUT MENUS === */
  .popouts{
        display: none;
         width: 6em;
     position: absolute;
      top:0px;
      left: 100%;
        background-color: #EEFFCC;
  }

  .popouts li{
      position:relative;
        width: 100%;
  }

  .popouts li a{
      display: block;
       width: 100%;
     text-indent: 3px;
  }


  .popouts li a:hover{
     background-color: yellow;
     color: black;
  }


#menu li:hover ul, #menu li.over ul, #menu li li:hover ul, #menu li li.over ul{ 
display:block; 
}

I've tried a couple of different things as such:

Code:

 /* === STYLES FOR THE POP OUT MENUS === */
  .popouts{
        display: none;
         width: 6em;
     position: absolute;
      top:0px;
      left: 100%;
        background-color: #EEFFCC;
  }

  .popouts li li{
      position:relative;
        width: 100%;
  }

  .popouts li li a{
      display: block;
       width: 100%;
     text-indent: 3px;
  }


  .popouts li li a:hover{
     background-color: yellow;
     color: black;
  }

I've tried .popouts li li ul ul{ and even tried adding a seperate class for the third level. Can some one please help me.

If you need a link to the page I'm working on, here you go. It's the last link "Links" in the menu where I'm trying to add the third level.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to put 2 block-level elements next each other without float and absolute positioning?

Can you make them display as inline-elements so that they line up next each other?

greets

I have been trying to implement a shadowed effect on a layout I'm working on. Kind of like on this page . I tried it with 3 nested divs and will show you guys both sets of code. With both methods, the top level div is not showing (the one with top.jpg as a background) because it appears that the middle.jpg is covering it.

Here is the code I have:

Method 1:
HTML
Code:

 <div id="wrapper">
      <?php mosMainBody(); ?>
  </div>

CSS
Code:

#wrapper {
  width:  805px;
  height: 100%;
  margin: auto;
  background: url(../images/middle.jpg) right repeat-y;
}

#wrapper::before {
  display: block;
  line-height: 0;
  background: url(../images/top.jpg) no-repeat top right;
}

#wrapper::after {
  display: block;
  line-height: 0;
  background: url(../images/bottom.jpg) no-repeat bottom right;
}

Method 2 Nested Divs:
HTML
Code:

<div id="wrap1"><div id="wrap2"><div id="wrap3">
      <?php mosMainBody(); ?>
</div></div></div>

CSS
Code:

#wrap1 {
  background: url(../images/top.jpg) no-repeat top ;
  width: 805px;
  margin: auto;
  clear: both;
}

#wrap2 {
  background: url(../images/middle.jpg) repeat-y;
  width: 805px;
  margin: auto;
}

#wrap3 {
  background: url(../images/bottom.jpg) no-repeat bottom;
  width: 805px;
  margin: auto;
}

The page I'm working on is located at http://www.havenotband.com/index.php

Hi

I thought this would be a lot easier than it has turned out! I want to add a 4th side menu level [#subnav-col]. I don't know if i'm getting the css or the html wrong but I can't get it to work - I find it difficult to know how to do the CSS+html to a 4th level. The original HTML and CSS is here - would be grateful for some help.

Many thanks

on my site:

christophermccomas [dot] com my sidebar in firefox isn't level with the top of the main content <div>. it renders correctly in ie7 though with their tops even.

not sure what to do, i could set the sidebar <div> to have a negative top-margin, but that should have to be done.

I'm having trouble writing CSS for a nav menu that drops down to four levels. I'm able to drop down to three but I'm having a tough time with the fourth level. Please help.




My CSS:


/* style the top level hover */
.menu a:hover, .menu ul ul a:hover {
color:#3d4058;
background:#ffffff;
}
.menu :hover > a, .menu ul ul :hover > a {
color:#3d4058;
background:#ffffff;
}
/* make the second level visible when hover on first level list OR link */
.menu ul li:hover ul, .menu ul a:hover ul {
visibility:visible;
}
/* keep the third level hidden when you hover on first level list OR link */
.menu ul :hover ul ul {
visibility:hidden;
}
/* make the third level visible when you hover over second level list OR link */
.menu ul :hover ul :hover ul {
visibility:visible;
}
/* make the 4th level hidden */
.menu ul :hover ul :hover ul ul {
visibility:hidden;
}
/* make the 4th level visible */
.menu ul ul li:hover ul ul ul, .menu ul a:hover ul ul ul {
visibility:visible;
}

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I've almost got what I want. I would like my link, on hover, to "slide" to the right a bit and change background color.

My problem is the flickering. I think it's because I'm using a class on the <li> and a class on the <a>, but I'm not sure how else to accomplish what I'm trying to do. I know it would be better if I didn't have a class on the <a>.... I think.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Brad

Hi everyone,

So I've been coding for years and had drawn away for the design/css part, so I need some refreshing. I've tried the greater than / less than "operators" between selectors in my css declaration but to no avail. Basically what I want to do is example:

Code:

<form><!-- really doing this basic just to show the point -->
<fieldset>
   <!-- inputs here -->
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
   <fieldset><!-- ### nested fieldset inside fieldset, don't want to affect these child selectors -->
      <!-- input bla -->
   </fieldset>
</fieldset>
</form>

So as you can see in my brief exampl above, there's two parent selectors and one child inside the second one. I only want to change the properties of the parent ones, so that a fieldset INSIDE a fieldset doesn't get affected, and I was hoping anyone here might be able to shed some light on how to achieve this.

Many thanks

I read the CSS Mastery book (Andy Budd). I think this is one of the greatest CSS book on the market but sometimes is hard to understand.
I don't understand what the author say, he http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/4705/cssx.jpg

Ok, I have this code:

Code:

<div>
some text
<p>Some more text</p>
</div>

"some text" don't have an element, and is treated like a paragraph. Ok, I add another text without element (some text2)..

Code:

<div>
some text
<p>Some more text</p>
some text2
</div>

Now, what this mean ? The same thing is true for "some text2" ? "some text2" is treated like a paragraph ?
Please, someone explain me a bit what the author want to say in the attached image file.

Thanks!

I'm having a problem with our 3rd level sub-menu links in our top menu.

we need to specify a height:auto on the .moduletable_topmenu li a because I need each list item to have an easy changable name. this may mean it has 2 lines for 1 name such as the 3rd item under "Test".

Though when we have 2 or more 3rd level items the 2nd level moves with the 3rd level. Such as the 2nd item under "Test"

Can anyone think of a way to make this 2nd level list not move with the 3rd level items?
