CSS - Horizontal Menu
I've tried the tutorials on CSS menus but can't seem to get it to work right for my project.
I want a spacer to seperate the buttons at 1 pixels wide but currently it's about 10 pixels wide. I've adjusted until i'm blue in the face can somebody help? The code is below: Code:
<tr>
<td width="766">
<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="">Home</a></li>
<li><a href=""> Project Status</a></li>
<li><a href=""> Tasks</a></li>
<li><a href="">General Information</a></li>
<li><a href="">Completed Tasks</a></li>
<li><a href="">About</a></li>
<li><a href="">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS Code:
body,html {
margin: 0;
}
#navcontainer ul {
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#navcontainer ul li {
display: inline;
}
#navcontainer ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: 0.2em 1em;
color: #fff;
background-image: url(images/back.gif);
height: 24px;
line-height: 23px;
}
#navcontainer ul li a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: #960033;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position: center;
background-image: url(images/backover.gif);
}
--- Similar TutorialsHi all, I've got a horizontal menu that is working just fine in every browser but IE 6 and 7. In IE it's almost there, except that the submenus will only appear one level deep. The menu is created with nested lists. The :hover functionality is simulated via JavaScript for IE 6. The IE developer toolbar shows the 3rd level menu is correctly being changed to display: block when its parent is hovered, and the border the dev toolbar draws even puts it in the correct place, it just doesn't actually appear. You can find the page he http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/ The CSS and JS (uses jQuery) can be found he http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/css/screen.css http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/css/ie.css (loaded with a conditional comment) http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/js/tdps.js http://www.perceptes.com/topdog/js/ie.js (loaded with a conditonal comment) For a specific example of what I'm talking about, try hovering over the second item, Filters & Parts. This will give you another level with four choices. Each of those also has child elements, but when hovered over, the next level doesn't appear. Try it in something other than IE 6 or 7 to see how it's supposed to look. Thanks very much in advance! Ok, I know virtually nothing about css, but realized that that a css menu is better for SEO. Anyway I found this vertical menu that works the way I want it. But I also need a horizontal version of it with dropdown submenus. Can someone help with this? I have been trying a bunch of things but it just looks awful and doesn't work right. It has 3 basic componets; Html, Javascript, and css. Here they are below. drop_down.js: Code: // JavaScript Document
startList = function() {
if (document.all&&document.getElementById) {
navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
node = navRoot.childNodes[i];
if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
node.onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=" over";
}
node.onmouseout=function() {
this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
}
}
}
}
}
window.onload=startList;

I have a horizonatal menu on my webise and the list items that drop down, are all jumbled into a single block of text. How do I create a new line fore each list item? I am trying to create a navigation menu for a page using images i have sliced in photoshop and I now need to put the images all on a 900px wide line and link them to the appropiate pages. When i put the images next to each other i end up with a gap. The only way I have found to solve the problem is to leave the img src all on the same line. I'm sure this isn't the best way to do it and it is throwing out the div below. Ideas anyone? Code: Code: Original - Code <div id="nav"> <img id="home" src="images/menu/home.gif" alt="" /><img id="about" src="images/menu/about.gif" alt="" /><img id="wedding" src="images/menu/wedding.gif" alt="" /><img id="corporate" src="images/menu/corporate.gif" alt="" /><img id="occasions" src="images/menu/occasions.gif" alt="" /><img id="contact" src="images/menu/contact.gif" alt="" /> </div> <div id="nav"> <img id="home" src="images/menu/home.gif" alt="" /><img id="about" src="images/menu/about.gif" alt="" /><img id="wedding" src="images/menu/wedding.gif" alt="" /><img id="corporate" src="images/menu/corporate.gif" alt="" /><img id="occasions" src="images/menu/occasions.gif" alt="" /><img id="contact" src="images/menu/contact.gif" alt="" /> </div> Jake Hi, I have the following menu that is currently laid out with a table: http://www.ianarmstrong.com/menutest/ I want to switch this to be styled in CSS somehow. I've looked at using a styled unordered list to do this, but that doesn't seem like the best idea as each image in my menu is different. Thus I can't have 5 different <li> elements, each with a different bg image. I need a way to handle the 5 different images, and have a mouseover effect as well. Could someone offer some direction on this problem? what i want as horizontal fly out menu BUT I want the list of items to appear horizontally in a line below. These menus have the items appear vertically from a horizontal menu i looked at these and could find one http://www.cssdrive.com/index.php/menudesigns/category/C20/ Has anyone created a CSS horizontal fly-out menu list? I have a 3 level navigation list. The level 1 has 5 items, the first item of which has no sub-list. How can I get the level 2 and 3 lists to fly-out at the same level as its parent item? Hi, I have a horizontal css menu that looks great in FF but doesn't align correctly in IE. Is anyone able to help me with a fix for IE browsers? HTML is Code:

Many thanks... Can somebody tell me if this is possible? I have a horizontal menu and I'm using images. I'm using javascript for the drop down menu etc. The menu is an include so it looks the same on all the pages. What I want to do is when I'm on say "Contact" the rollover color (this is an image) displays the "Contact" hover image, and the same with the other pages. So what needs to happen is CSS needs to override the button with the hover image. Is it possible to put css in every page that tells it to display the needed hover image when on that page? Hi, I have a horizontal menu, now what I would like to know how to do, is that once one of the element has focus, I would have another row underneath it that would have my links link1 | link2 | link3, etc... here is my menu bar, any info, or ideas would be great <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> .navh LI { DISPLAY: inline; LIST-STYLE-TYPE: none } .navh UL { PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: nowrap } .navh A { border:1px solid #333333; PADDING-RIGHT: 8px; PADDING-LEFT: 24px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px; PADDING-TOP: 1px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #999999 } .navh A:link { COLOR: #eeeeee; TEXT-DECORATION: none } .navh A:visited { COLOR: #eeeeee; TEXT-DECORATION: none } .navh A:hover { border:1px solid #333333; COLOR: #333333; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff6600 } </style> </head> <body> <div class="navh"> <ul> <li><a href="#" >Item 1</a></li> <li><a href="#" >Item 2</a></li> <li><a href="#" >Item 3</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html> Hi I am trying to create a horizontal menu for my interface and am running into a problem. I created the menu and it seems to work fine, but after I try to move it to where I want it, it leaves a blank spot in my content area that I cant get ridd of. Here is the link www.isostudios.com Im a little new to css so dont be to hard on me I really hate having to hack IE because microsoft wont use w3c compliance, but nevermind that heres my problem. Its a basic problem with horizontal css menus on http://www.fasttracksites.com/tmp/test.htm In FF it displays perfect, no problems, however in IE it wraps like a normal ul does, can someone please help me? I am making a horizontal menu with dropdown submenus. It is partly coded using Dreamweaver and partly by hand. The menu works fine under IE but in Firefox it is off by a few pixels. I searched the forums and found that the problem was with the way IE rendered <div> versus the way Firefox does, but I wasn't able to solve the problem. Could somebody also tell me how to switch from Quirk mode to standard? for complete code visit http://www.ithaca.edu/students/sgarg1/website Any help is appreciated **************************************** index.html Code:

websitewebsite Problem solved, all that was required was a different li class. I want to center a horizontal menu (not the words - the entire menu). Everything I read says I need to insert align-text: center into the #menu ul portion of my CSS. However, I've tried that and it doesn't work for me. I'm using Dreamweaver for my editing and I'm rather new to CSS. The CSS code I have for the menu is: Code: #menuwrapper {width: 1280px;
height: 25px;
background: #FFC557 url(images/menu_background.jpg) repeat-x;
color: #000;}
#menu, #menu ul {display: inline;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;}
#menu li {display: block;
float: left !important;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
line-height: 25px;
position: relative;
left: 19px;}
#menu a {height: 25px;
width: 85px;
background: #FFC557 url(images/button.jpg) no-repeat;
color: #000;
display: block;
font-size: 105%;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
border-left: 1px solid #000;}
#lastbutton {border-right: 1px solid #000;}
#menu a:hover {background-position: 0 -25px;}
Now how the heck do I center the menu as opposed to having it aligned to the left??? here is the code that I have based my menu on, http://www*dynamicdrive*com/style/csslibrary/item/suckertree-menu-horizontal . What I changed was the ".suckertreemenu ul li a" style width to auto instead of 90px. I need the style to auto so that the width of each button is proportionate to the text in the button. My problem is that in IE6 each button stretches across the entire area. Does anyone have a hack for this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks |
