CSS - Problem With Horizontal Unordered Lists
Working on converting the layout in the attached image and I'm having a problem with the main menu. Here are my problems:
*trying to push down the menu items. Setting padding-top only seems to extend the borders up above the horizontal line and doesn't push the text down. *getting the highlight color above the text. Some ideas I had were trying to set a background image for each list item (but how can I do this without the borders extending above the horizontal line) or setting a background image of the whole unordered list (but with this will "break" when users have different font sizes). Any thoughts? Layout is attached as well as what little code I have since I'm just starting on this project. Thanks in advance, -b Similar TutorialsTake a look at my code... http://www.trinitysql.co.uk/jubilee2005/ Those links at the top are a <ul> with fixed height and width... What I want to do is push the text down to the bottom and make the whole area of the <li> link... Any help you couyld give me would be very much appreciated! Thanks! Hello, I need to make some unordered lists within a page appear with a graphic as a bullet, and some appear with a disc. My current code is: Code:
ul {list-style-image: url(../img/redarrow.gif)}
But this makes all unordered lists appear with the graphic, and of course if I comments out that code, all unordered lists appear with a disc. Please let me know if it is possible to code it so that I can have both in a page. Thanks! I am having a problem with a menu generated by a CMS. Basically it generates a series of nested unordered lists for the navigation. It only shows a parents children menu items if you are within that section. The problem is that it still outputs the unordered list and list item elements for the other child menus, but just leaves them blank. Leaving something like this: Code: <ul><li></li> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ul> This works fine in Firefox... but of course when you get to IE, it leaves big vertical spaces in the navigation. Unfortunately, I can't attach any IDs or classes to the child UL or LI elements. There is only one ID on the main UL, <ul id="subnav">. So my question is, can anyone think of a way that I can modify my CSS to take out those blank spaces created by empty <ul>s in IE? You can see the page he http://www.holidaytravelincentives.com/index.php/products/air-accommodations/ Quick question... I am trying to make an unordered list and have the first level have no indent/margin. But I want the second level to be indented 15 pixels. I'm having problems getting this done. Any suggestions? Thanks I can't seem to find any issues of this on the web, or maybe I'm not doing a correct search. here's my problem. I'm creating a horizontal menu with an unordered list <ul> with each <li> tag using a background image. My problem is, in IE (both ie6 & 7), the menu seems to display having a staggered cascading effect. Firefox works great as usual... see screenshot at http://clubsix1.com/images/cascade_effect.png Here's my CSS code: Code:
#masthead ul#mystuffnav {
padding:0;
margin:0;
width:334px;
}
#masthead ul#mystuffnav li {
float:left;
margin-bottom:1px;
clear: both;
}
/* Fancy Buttons, My Stuff Nav */
#masthead ul#mystuffnav a.button,
#masthead ul#mystuffnav a.button:link,
#masthead ul#mystuffnav a.button:visited {
padding:3px 7px 5px;
text-decoration:none;
outline:none;
/*display:block; OQO */
font-size:10px;
float:left;
text-align:center;
margin:0 1px 0 0;
line-height:1em;
}
Help is GREATLY appreciated! =) Here is a menu I am trying to build. I used different background colors to see what sections are doing what. Essentially what I am trying to achieve is that the menu items defined by the <li> (green) tag have text vertically centered in them and be the same height as the ul section (yellow). Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

#level1 {

margin: auto; } /* end #level1 */
#level1 ul {
background: yellow;
clear: both;
text-align: right;
border-right: thin solid #cfcfcf;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 40px; } /* end #level1 ul */

What happens is that this version renders as I want it in Safari, one pixel too high in Opera and Firefox, and several pixels too short in IE. What are some things I can try to fix this behavior so that it is consistent (-ly correct ) across browsers? Again for those that have helped me on other threads I greatly appreciate it. I have used CSS before but this is my first time using it for layout and am struggling with it a bit. How do I go about making my unordered list use a image file or the bullet? Code: <ul> <li><a href="#onesweetcoma">One Sweet Coma </a></li> <li><a href="#untitled">Untitled</a></li> <li><a href="#freedomfound">Freedom Found </a></li> <li><a href="#yourwords">Your Words</a></li> <li><a href="#reprise">Reprise</a></li> <li><a href="#cantpullaway">Can't Pull Away </a></li> <li><a href="#sleepingawake">Sleeping Awake</a></li> <li><a href="#wherewestand">Where We Stand</a></li> <li><a href="#echooffthewalls">Echo Off the Walls </a></li> </ul> my image name is bullet.png Hi, Trying to create a menu using <ul> tags and to have a nice spacing between <li> items. I have tried the line-height property but it seems like IE ignores them. Firefox formats the line-height properly. Can anyone help me? Should the line-height be applied to ul or li tags? /Hubba Bubba www.l33tmonkey.com/sun/index.html completely ignoring the image issues, which are next on the list to sort out, I have a problem. I've gotten hold of two seperate scripts with permission from the author, and they wouldn't wrk together so I linked them externally as two seperate files. Both scripts cater to IE and other common browsers using conditional comments and are reasonably tidy even after I've been playing with them So here's the problem, the horozontal menu, with the two drop down sub menus, needs to float to the right, the float attribute is already present within the menu script, however, the float attribute will only work when set to the left. I altered it to the right and the menu went haywire. the scripts and index source can be viewed freely. Any help on this would be really appreciated, I'm no expert on CSS I've got an odd bug in IE7 that's got me completely stumped. I'm using drupal for sort of an art/comic site, and I've built my own theme off of the Zen theme, for anyone who's familiar with it. My main page works just fine. Once I get to either the gallery or forum things start to collapse and get weird. My sidebar loses it's positioning, and the width of the list items in the unordered list shrink down to the size of the image or tex they contain, rather than extending to fill their container. The only consistency I can find here is that they're both using unordered lists, but beyond that I'm not sure what's going on. I've tried to go through and swat any obvious CSS and HTML errors, so any advice or insight on this would be much appreciated. eta: looks like I can't post an opening topic with links yet, so I'll have to post them as a reply or something. Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and somewhat new to CSS. I am developing a simple webpage that has a horizontal unordered list serving as a navigation bar. Firefox adds what looks like about 20px of extra space above and below the entire list while internet explorer shows it aligned top left. Eventually I would like to center the unordered list top and bottom, but I can't seem to get any alignment formatting to work at all. Here is the problem code: Code: <div id="navbox">
<ul id="navbar">
<li><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li>
<li><a href="http://showrooms.canadatrader.com/7010/7622">INVENTORY</a></li>
<li><a href="formapp.html">APPLY NOW</a></li>
<li><a href="mailto:rjtria@gmail.com">EMAIL ME</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
And the corresponding CSS: Code: #navbox {
background-color: #B1C5D0;
height: 50px;
width: 760px;
overflow: visible;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-right-style: solid;
border-left-style: solid;
border-top-color: #333;
border-right-color: #333;
border-bottom-color: #333;
border-left-color: #333;
color: #036;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 130%;
font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
line-height: normal;
}
#navbar li {
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-right-width: 1px;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-left-width: 1px;
border-top-style: dotted;
border-right-style: dotted;
border-bottom-style: dotted;
border-left-style: dotted;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-left: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
}
I know it's not much.. but it's making me crazy. I have tried zeroing out all padding / margins to no avail... Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance! Celeste how can i make list items that are in a horizontal list all the same width. I try adding the width attribute to it but it has no effect I have a horizontal list using <ul> but the last two items in the list i want aligned to the right of the page but how do i do this? PHP Code: <div id="menu"> <ul> <li>home</li> <li>browse</li> <li>artists</li> <li id="selected">collections</li> <li>news</li> <li>how to buy</li> <li>trade</li> <li>mailing list</li> <li>e-card</li> </ul> </div> above is my list Hello all, I am trying to make a horizontal nav bar using a list. Everything was going good until I tried to add an image (essential a line) to seperate each <li>. When I did this, the height of the nav bar expanded and it moved the entire list down about 15 pixels or so. I am attaching an image before I added the image and after I added the image to show. Here is my css code for before I add the image: PHP Code: #navbar { height:37px; line-height:33px; padding: 2px 0 0 10px; vertical-align:top; background: url(images/linkbarbg1.png) repeat-x; font-family: Tahoma, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; color: #FFFFFF; } #navbar ul { vertical-align:top; margin:0; padding:0; border: 0px solid #000000; } #navbar ul li { display: inline; } #navbar ul li a { display: inline; text-decoration: none; padding-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 4px; padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px; color:#FFFFFF; } #navbar ul li a:hover { height: 31px; background:url(images/linkbarbg1hover.png) repeat-x top left; background-color: #FF3300; } And HTML: PHP Code: <div id="main"> <div class="leftshadow"> <div class="rightshadow"> <div id="header"><img src="images/logo1.png" /></div> <div id="navbar"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Milk</a></li> <li><a href="#">Eggs</a></li> <li><a href="#">Cheese</a></li> <li><a href="#">Vegetables</a></li> <li><a href="#">Fruit</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> And here is what it looks like: My CSS Code is the same for after, here is my HTML code for after: PHP Code: <div id="main"> <div class="leftshadow"> <div class="rightshadow"> <div id="header"><img src="images/logo1.png" /></div> <div id="navbar"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Milk</a></li> <li><img src="images/linkbarseperator1.png" /></li> <li><a href="#">Eggs</a></li> <li><a href="#">Cheese</a></li> <li><a href="#">Vegetables</a></li> <li><a href="#">Fruit</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> and here is what is looks like: Is there a way to fix this? UPDATE I have noticed the same thing happens even when it is not a list. Therefore, it must be due to some other factor...does anyone have any ideas? I'm having some very bizarre display issues with some styled lists on one of my pages in internet explorer. It's displaying fine in Firefox and Safari, however. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated: http://dev.lotusguild.info/roster/manage The background isn't cover the list properly and selected list items seem to float in place while the rest of the list scrolls. Thank you in advance! Hi Guys... i need help.. I have this problem. in Opera, whenever i float something within li, the bullet number disappears.. I want bullet number visible. Can anyone share some light? here is the snipplet Code: <style type="text/css">
li div{float:left;}
</style>
<ol>
<li><div>List Item 1</div></li>
</ol>

I have achieved to vertically center in both FF and IE but now I am having horizontal centering problems which is usually the easy part.

Hi Everyone! Here is a quick problem for any CSS gurus out there! I have created a horizontal navigation bar which has a horizontal drop down subnav on roll over of the top nav links The top nav don't link to a page but only act to display the subnav - dont worry I have posted the code below! I am having real trouble with one aspect - when you navigate to a page on the subnav (e.g. the "webcam" page) I want the subnav links for that section (eg "watch") to be displayed rather than only appearing when you roll over one of top navs links. Has anyone got any ideas of if this is possible with the way that I have structured the nav currently? Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi there! I recently decided to start designing in Web 2.0 to the best of my ability... including appearance, organization, and all of that good stuff. However, I am running into a rather annoying problem. At the top of my website, I have a horizontally-aligned list for navigation. Unfortunately, as my code is... organized... Firefox (Not IE8-- gasp!) is treating my line breaks as an extra . As a result, the little separators aren't aligned correctly. HTML Code: Original - HTML Code <div id="bannerNav"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="bannerNav"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link</a></li> </ul> </div> CSS Code: Original - CSS Code #bannerNav { background: #000 url('images/topNav.gif') repeat-x; border-bottom: 1px solid #FFF; font-size: 18px; color: #EEE; line-height: 40px; height: 40px; width: 100%; } #bannerNav ul { list-style: none; display: inline; } #bannerNav li { background: transparent url('images/topNavLinkSeparator.gif') no-repeat right; display: inline; } #bannerNav li a { padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px; }
Does my problem make any sense? Because an extra space is being added, all of my links are being shifted to the right one space's width, so separators aren't centered anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! |
