CSS - Tabbed Menus - Rollover Descriptions
Didn't know what to search for this--apologies if it exists somewhere on the board.
Now, with links, I know you can supply a title="" attribute to them, to get a tooltip to appear on them if you leave the mouse hovering on them for a short period. What I am trying to do is somewhat similar. Basically, imagine that you have a column of links, and a large space to the right of them (the background of which is defined elsewhere, but links' descriptions still would show here). Some code demonstrating the type of effect I'm grasping for is below: Code: -- DTD removed for space --

Now, my problem is this: This does not work in Internet Explorer, at all. Links still function; however, the text that should be appearing over in that right area does not. Could anyone please point me in the proper direction to resolve this, if such can be done? I'm only shooting for IE6 and Mozilla compatibility, though the more the merrier. Thank you for your time. Similar TutorialsI've got a client that wants me to do a website for him. He wants his links to have other links appear on rollover...I'm sure I can use CSS to do this, and if not that then JS, but what is the best way to do this?? Should I use images?? Text with shading behind it??? I'm not new to web design, but I've never needed to this before and am a little at a loss as to how to start out on this one... Hi, I really need help with something!... I'm currently designing a website, with a verticle tabbed navigation bar (using CSS & Javascript). I need it so that when the user hovers over a tab, the content related to that tab, displays until another tab is hovered over. At the moment, when ever you move the mouse into the content area for a certain tab, the content disappears and goes back to the default 'Welcome' layer underneath. But the content layers will have links in them, and this need to be 'active', as it were. Please take a look (I would post a link, but I'm new here... ) Code:

There must be some way to adapt the code already used, to do what I want. Where am I going wrong and what do I need to do?? Any help would be much appreciated! Many thanks, Britcanuck. Thanks to Kravvitz I was able to get the first version of this system up and running, but I didn't like the plain tabs so I switched them out with tabs of my own and also a background image (instead of just a color) for the subnav bar. I am having trouble lining the tabs up though so they have 1 or 2 px spaces between them and the text is centered on them. (I'm trying to right align the tabs). Also in IE the on tab merges with the subnav bar as it should (so the gradiant looks seemless) but in Firefox it does not... The images are he http://yourthreshold.com/downloads/nav_background.gif http://yourthreshold.com/downloads/..._background.gif http://yourthreshold.com/downloads/..._background.gif The code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

Hi! Could you please help me to fix my menu in IE7. You can see the problem on my site. But actually I don't know how to add an url he The code is: padding:0; } #menu ul#layer1 li { background:transparent url(/site_media/images/left.png) no-repeat scroll left top; float:left; margin-left:6px; padding-bottom:6px; padding-left:6px; padding-top:4px; } #menu ul#layer1 li span { background:transparent url(/site_media/images/right.jpg) no-repeat scroll right top; margin-right:6px; padding-bottom:6px; padding-right:6px; padding-top:4px; } #menu li a { background-color:#BF1E2D; color:#FFFFFF; padding:4px 35px 6px; text-decoration:none; } #menu ul#layer1 li#current span { background:transparent url(/site_media/images/right-gray.png) no-repeat scroll right top; } #menu ul#layer1 li#current { background:transparent url(/site_media/images/left-gray.png) no-repeat scroll left top; } #menu ul#layer1 li#current a { background-color:#E3E3E3; color:#BF1E2D; } I'm trying to use a jQuery script to create a tabbed slide-out on the right side of the screen. At this point, the slide-out plug-in is not an option. Here's the jQuery script: Code: $('#sideTabMain .button').toggle(function() {
$('#sideTab').animate({right:'0px'}, {queue:false, duration: 500});
}, function() {
$('#sideTab').animate({right:'-650px'}, {queue:false, duration: 500});
});
And the basic CSS for the div: Code: #sideTab {
position: absolute;
z-index: 1000;
top: 50px;
right: -650px
}
The issue is CSS-related. You can still see the slide-out div when you scroll over to the right (off the screen). How do I hide this? I tried putting the entire page in a CSS div with overflow: hidden but this completely removed the ability to scroll horizontally. Any ideas? Thanks for your help. I am very new to CSS, but I am trying to use it to make a tabbed rounded-corner centered menu bar for my webpage. I've gone through a number of iterations, and I feel like I'm close, but it's not quite right. The left rounded-corner image appears to be just slightly too high compared to the middle/right part of the tab. The css and html codes are below. Thank you for any help. Kate CSS CODE: #tabs8 { float:left; width:100%; background:#FCF1F6; border-bottom:4px solid #E276A7; overflow:hidden; position:relative; } #tabs8 ul { clear:left; float:left; list-style:none; margin:0; padding:0; position:relative; left:50%; text-align:center; } #tabs8 ul li { display:block; float:left; list-style:none; margin:0 0 0 1px; padding:0px 3px; position:relative; right:50%; } #tabs8 ul li a { display:block; margin:0 0 0 1px; padding:3px 0px; background:url("tableft8.gif") no-repeat left top; text-decoration:none; line-height:1.3em;} #tabs8 a span { background:url("tabright8.gif") no-repeat right top; padding:3px 10px; color:#333; line-height:1.3em;} #tabs8 ul li a:hover { background:#369; color:#fff; } #tabs8 ul li a.active, #tabs8 ul li a.active:hover { color:#fff; background:#000; font-weight:bold; }--> HTML CODE: <div id="tabs8"><ul> <li id="current"> <div align="center"><a href="index.html"><span>Home</span></a></div> </li> <li> <div align="center"><a href="cake-shaping.html"><span>Cake Shaping</span></a></div> </li> <li> <div align="center"><a href="decorations.html"><span>Edible Decorations</span></a></div> </li> <li> <div align="center"><a href="gallery.html"><span>Gallery</span></a></div> </li> <li> <div align="center"><a href="blog.html"><span>Blog</span></a></div> </li> <li> <div align="center"><a href="subscribe.html"><span>Subscribe</span></a></div> </li></ul></div> My first new thread here! Hoping for some quick review and suggestions - any input is much appreciated. I have a site in the *early* stages of development and I'm using the "sliding doors" technique for tabbed navigation. Not sure if I'm allowed to post links, so below are some code snippets and I've also attached a screenshot. The nav container (#nav) temporarily has a yellow background just as a clear visual cue and it is not positioned on the page yet - so forgive the ugliness! - but the code for the actual tab effects is complete, or so I thought. CSS: Code:
/* horizontal main menu navigation */
#nav {
float:left;
width: 100%;
background: yellow; /*temporary color just for visual cue */
}
#nav ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 0 300px;
list-style: none;
}
#nav ul li {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font: bold 1em/2em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background: url(images/tab_right.gif) no-repeat top right;
}
#nav a {
float: left;
display: block;
margin: 0 10px 0 0;
padding: 5px 2px;
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
background: #284d73 url(images/tab_left.gif) no-repeat top left;
}
HTML: Code: <div id="nav"> <ul> <li id="t-index"><a href="/" title="Gonzi's home page">HOME</a></li> <li id="t-about"><a href="#" title="About Us">ABOUT US</a></li> <li id="t-services"><a href="#" title="Our Services">OUR SERVICES</a></li> <li id="t-fleet"><a href="#" title="Our Fleet">FLEET</a></li> <li id="t-reserve"><a href="#" title="Reservations">RESERVATIONS</a></li> </ul> <!-- end #nav --> </div> Problem is two fold: 1. The 'a' elements are styled to 'display: block' to make the entire tab clickable, yet it isn't actually rendering this way, and I'm at a loss to explain why. Perhaps something obvious I'm just missing... 2. The 'tab_right.gif' background image (in 'li' elements) and the 'tab_left.gif' background image (in the 'a' elements) don't appear to be meeting up correctly, leaving an area with no image. Again, no idea why and I'm hoping a 2nd pair of eyes may find something I'm missing... If it would help to see the actual implementation, I can send a URL - just let me know how to get that to you (email?). Thanks for any suggestions! luispunchy So I have a myspace, and I like things neat and compact. And I like filling out lots of long surveys that most likely no one will ever read, and posting them on my myspace. But when I do that, my page becomes very long and I don't like that. So my idea was something like this: There would be a series of links across the top that would correspond to the various surverys and/or other content that I deem necessary to share with the world. The many users who visit my page looking for more details about my life click on the link of their choice. The box below all the links shows that particular survey. They read it all, and of course want more, so they click the next link. And poof, a new survery shows up right where the other one was. Compact and efficient. I've seen sites use a slightly similar system before, often in the help/faq sections. You find the topic you need help with, click on it, and it pops up below it. However I'm pretty sure they used javascript, which isn't allowed on myspace. ("Security" or some other overrated matter). Therefore I would have to do it with CSS. I was thinking have each survey in a different table, all absolute positioned in the same place. Then when you click the link, either all the rest get visibility turned to not visible, (and that one turned to visible), or perhaps the z-index is changed. However I'm not sure you can do that in a link, especially without javascript. So I may need to find an alternative. Unfortunately, I'm not very good with CSS at all, and I'm also not very creative in problem solving. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could implement this system without javascript or using other pages? (I just get my one little myspace homepage, although I guess I could cheat and use blog pages too. But then all the other blog crap like comments would show up on it). I apologize if this has already been covered, I tried to look through the more recent posts for something similar and found nothing, and I wasn't really sure what to search for, since it isn't really something concrete I'm working with. I don't necessarily need code, mostly just ideas right now. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps, and if you don't know what I'm talking about/thought it was too long, tell me and I'll try to clear it up or shorten it up, respectably (and respectfully, as it were). PS. My myspace account, if you care and didn't already guess, is www.myspace.com/mynameismolotov. Althought it's basically empty right now. I'm using the Spry tabbed panels widget on a website. I would like to center align the horizontal tabs. The default setting is left align. And I'm able to right align it. Here is part of the css code: .TabbedPanels { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; clear: none; width: 100%; } .TabbedPanelsTabGroup { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } .TabbedPanelsTab { position: relative; top: 1px; float: left; padding: 2px 6px 6px 6px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; list-style: none; border-left: solid 1px #999; border-bottom: solid 1px #CCC; border-top: solid 1px #CCC; border-right: solid 1px #999; -moz-user-select: none; -khtml-user-select: none; cursor: pointer; background-image: url(../sprylight.png); color: #333333; I've tried changing the "padding" under the ".TabbedPanelsTabGroup" rule to "auto". This causes the tabs to kind of be centered, but not exactly. Also, one of the tabs breaks apart from the row and spills over to the next line. Any help would be very much appreciated. I'm working on a tabbed content Interface to be used at the bottom of some pages in a CMS. Works in FF but only partially in IE (sometimes). The tabbed portion of the interface is set up with CSS and background images. In IE im having trouble getting them to show properly but only on 1 layer. When the Javascript changes the display property of the div it brings up the appropriate background image. But only on 3 of the 4 content divs. The fourth panel "Specs" or the div#panel4{} is displaying ok, except that it will not bring up the image for the div#TopRight4 Here is the code, and a link to a test page so that you can view it in action... any ideas? html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <html> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body {margin:0;padding:0;} div#container {position:absolute;left:20px;top:20px;width:631px;} div#panel2, div#panel3, div#panel4 {display:none;} div#panel1 {display:block;} div#panel_style{margin-top:5px;} div.panel_links1{width:131px;float:right;text-align:center;line-height:47px;vertical-align:50%;} div.panel_links2{width:131px;float:right;text-align:center;lineheight:47px;vertical-align:50%;} div.panel_links3{width:131px;float:right;text-align:center;lineheight:47px;vertical-align:50%;} div.panel_links4{width:131px;float:right;text-align:center;lineheight:47px;vertical-align:50%;} div.panel_links a{text-decoration:none;} div.panel_links a:hover{color: gray;text-decoration:underline;} div.panelTopLeft{ background-image:url(images/CP_top_left.gif);

I have the code and it works but I am trying to undertsand it better. It uses a csshover.htc file which i didn't download but the thing still works fine with a ie sniffer code in it. It doesn't use any javascript which I thought it needed. There seems a few ways to do expanding menus in css (with/without javascript)? Menus are more complicated than they look but I would some explanation on the above points before i continue. Please help me. This is driving me crazy. I am getting a problem in IE and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. Of course, it works just fine in Firefox, but not IE. In IE, go to to this page. On the horizontal drop-down menu, go to "Guides." Then scroll through the three drop-down options and back up. Notice how the 3rd level menu suddenly dissapears behind the 2nd level menu? Here's the portion of my CSS file controling the menu: Code: /********** LAYOUT - HEADER **********/
#header {background: #ffffff;

Please help me! Thanks! Manny Hi there. I've become fond of the idea of non-javascript menus. I've been experimenting a little. So with help from various sources I managed to get a simple set working. I have this... Code:
#menu ul li > ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 18px;
left: 0;
width: 170px;
}
which correctly 'hides' the sub-menu. Then I have this Code:
#menu ul li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
which should 'unhide' the sub-menu. Now, because I'd had success with the menu, I thought I should now look at validating my html and css. So far, I've just looked at the html part. My question is, why does it work with this code (which doesn't validate under Strict doctype)? Code:
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li class="small"><a href="blah.php">About</a>
<li>Details On...
<ul>
<li class="small"><a href="blah.php">Registering</a>
</ul>
</ul>
</div>
and not this (which does validate)? Code:
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li class="small"><a href="blah.php">About</a></li>
<li>Details On...</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li class="small"><a href="blah.php">Registering</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
I'll listen to any thoughts on this, even the use (or not) of doctype strict. Thanks for listening! Stay JOLLY H Hello, I'm trying to replace one CSS nav menu with another, is there anyone who is familiar enough to assist me? I am learning CSS and started to like it I was trying to make an image gallery so was just playing around with this link I got Please see this http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/tabmenu.html When I added five more images in this, the last images ceases to display How can I correct that I was testing this by adding this code 5 times <li> <a href="#nogo"> William Turner<br /> (1775-1851) <span> <img src="../img/turner.jpg" alt="painting" title="painting" /> This English painter was one of the greatest romantic interpreters of nature in the history of Western art and is still unrivaled in the virtuosity of his painting of light. </span> </a> </li> I was anticipating that a scrollbar would come automatically in the browser but that dint happen What should I do? Hi there, I'm trying to integrate some SEO friendly dropdown menus into an existing website design. The trouble I'm experiencing so far is that the body of the design is aligned centre, and most of the examples I've seen thus far use absolute positioning of <div> elements (i.e. the design is left-aligned, so the designer knows to position the dropdown div X pixels). Is there a good reference I can use for positioning my divs properly? Thanks I've been grappling with this for a long while now. I pretty much have it working, except for the life of me I cannot get the drop down menus to appear under the corresponding link. position: absolute makes the menus always appear off to the left. Does anyone know what the secret is to this? Code: <div id="nav_wrapper"> <div id="nav_bar"> <div id="nav_content"> <ul id="nav_ul"> <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/forum/">Forum</a> <div class="nav_subcontent"> <ul> <li><a href="/forum/search.php">Search</a></li> <li><a href="/forum/memberlist.php">Members</a></li> </ul> </div> </li> <li><a href="#">A link without a menu</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> Code:
/* Wrapper */
#nav_wrapper {

/* Bar */
#nav_bar {
background: url('images/nav_swish_fade.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat-x;
height: 36px;

I have this test site using CSS drop down menus, but when you scroll over, they disappear. Seems to be happening in IE9, Firefox and Chrome. Can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated! Here is the script: Code: <head>

Thank you for your time and assistance. I am working on building my first website in 2 years. I am very interested in developing a good site interface with standard code that may be easily edited later. Specifically, I am interested in creating dynamic navigation menus that will be supported by as many browsers as possible. I have seen dynamic menus created with javascript, but I know I don't want to do that since some browsers do not support it/or do not have it enabled by default. Can you comment on whether or not CSS would be a good solution to get around this problem? I have never used CSS to create menus in the past, but it seems very useful for standardizing a site interface. I am also open to other suggestions, what would you do to accomplish this task? |
