CSS - Drop Down Menu With Transparency
I really need some help. I need to find a good resource for some css/dhtml cross-platform horizontal drop down menus with transparency.
i.e. when you mouse over the menu it drops down and is about 80% transparent) I have tried applying opacity css settings to div tags in my existing drop down menu, but to no avail. Any help is much apprciated... SBee Similar TutorialsHello everyone, I have a drop-down menu that is currently working well. The only change I need to make is to have the right edge of the drop-down menu to align with the right edge of the parent menu. When you hover over the menu, it currently "drops" down and to the right, with the left edges aligned. I want the menu to "drop" down and to the left, so the right edges are aligned. I have tried fiddling with floats and absolute/relative positioning. I'm not sure what needs to be changed. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! I'm learning via "cut and paste", so please go easy on any terminology you may use. Thank you! Here is the page: http://www.littlebuddymedia.com/site05/012.html The menu currently drops like this (aligned along the left edge): http://www.justskins.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/drop-down-menu.gif I want the menu to do this (align along the right edge; see how "Artists" is aligned under "Music" along the right edge): http://artatm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mtvmenu.JPG Here is my code: Code:
.chromestyle{
width: 100%;
font-weight: bold;
float: left;

}

Following sample is from http://www.code-couch.com/jeff/snippets/general/tektips-navigation-example.html is what I am trying to reference to create a template. But how do I how keep the state of Menu on each requested page any help is appreciated. The following menu is saved in a separate jsp file i.e. navs.jsp. I include this navigation jsp file in all of my files. Initially the drop down looks like: Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [+] Google.com . [+] Yahoo.com Now clicking [+] in front of Google.com will look like. Code:
. Ask.Jeeves
. [-] Google.com
. Google.co.ie
. Google.co.ie
. [+] Google.co.nz
. [+] Yahoo.com
Lets's say now if I click on Google.co.ie it takes me to sample.jsp and on this requested page (sample.jsp) how can I show the following menu hierarchy with Google.co.ie bold/underlined/colorchanged showing what menu content I clicked and am viewing the appropriate content i.e. Code:
. Ask.Jeeves
. [-] Google.com
. Google.co.ie
. Google.co.ie
. [+] Google.co.nz
. [+] Yahoo.com
Same way clicking Google.com or Yahoo.com or Ask.Jeeves shows you the following hierarchy on the requested page with higlight/bold/colored the link we just selected. i.e. Code: . Ask.Jeeves . [+] Google.com . [+] Yahoo.com Any time clicking on the menu takes me to some page but on that page I want to show th hierarchy of the menu all the way to which is recently clicked with different color setting. Here is the source for the above: Code:

Any help is really appreciated thanks. EDIT:: Simplier way to write the question ^.^ :: When I scroll off the menu/link onto the first link in the submenu it stays, but when I mvoe down to the next item in the submenu it disappears. (My drop down is vertically aligned on the left.) (bits of the code that relate to the menu) PHP Code: .btn1 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 200px; } .btn2 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 240px; } .btn3 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 280px; } .btn4 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 320px; } .btn5 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 360px; } .btn6 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 400px; } .btn7 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 440px; } .btn8 { position: absolute; left: 165px; top: 480px; } .link1 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 240px; } .link2 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 280px; } .link3 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 320px; } .link4 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 360px; } .link5 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 400px; } .link6 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 440px; } .link7 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 480px; } .link8 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 520px; } .link9 { position: absolute; left: auto; top: 560px; } #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; } #nav a { display: block; width: 100px; } #nav li { width: 100px; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; width: 100px; left: -9999px; display: none; top: 0; z-index: 3; } #nav li:hover ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } #nav li:over ul { display: block; left: 266px; z-index: 3; } PHP Code: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn1" src="../mainbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MainBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBmain.htm"><img class="btn2" src="../blogbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="BlogBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link1"><a href=""><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="bMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link2"><a href="#"><img src="../anmbtn.gif" alt="bAnimeBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="#"><img src="../mgabtn.gif" alt="bMangaBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="#"><img src="../gmebtn.gif" alt="bGameBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="#"><img src="../bookbtn.gif" alt="bBookBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img class="btn3" src="../musebtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="MuseBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link2"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="mMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../pmbtn.gif" alt="mPoemBtn"></a></li> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../stybtn.gif" alt="mStoryBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBmuse.htm"><img src="../drmbtn.gif" alt="mDreamBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img class="btn4" src="../oddbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ComicBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link3"><a href="HOBodd.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="cMainBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBart.htm"><img class="btn5" src="../artbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ArtBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link4"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="aMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="aRecentBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBart.htm"><img src="../gaibtn.gif" alt="aGaiaBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img class="btn6" src="../picbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="PicsBtn"></a> <ul> <li class="link5"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../mbtn.gif" alt="pMainBtn"></a></li> <li class="link6"><a href="HOBpic.htm"><img src="../recbtn.gif" alt="pRecentBtn"></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="HOBfaq.htm"><img class="btn7" src="../faqbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="FaqBtn"></a></li> <li><a href="HOBcon.htm"><img class="btn8" src="../contactbtn.gif" width="100" height="38" alt="ContactBtn"></a> </li> </ul> <script type="text/javascript" src="drop_down.js"></script> the "nav" is referring to a bit of js, and this is in my header. Also not sure if it's correct, but I can worry about that later. link: The Page Hi 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! I working on a CSS to display a round-shouldered-tab menu. My result is acceptable: http://rickduley.webs.com/roundShoulderTabMenu.jpg except for the fact that the tabs are set below the menuBar on which the are supposed to display. I have run out of ideas. Would someone please set me on the right path? Thanks. P.S.: the code is at http://rickduley.webs.com/roundShoulderTabMenu.zip.kgb - you have to delete the 'dot key gee bee' suffix. Alright, I've started to design the other pages on my site. I had to change some things in the code in order for my design to work properly. I didn't have it set up correctly before. So everything works the way I want it to now...except for the drop down menu. I am only a beginner with CSS and do not know much about it. I can't figure out what it is I did that made the navigation stop working. If maybe somebody that is more experienced than myself can take a look at it to see what I did, I would really appreciate it. Oh yea, here is the link to the beggining stages of my "about" page: About Keep in mind, nothing is really for sure yet. I just want to get the coding done, so if you think the page could use some sprucing up, you're not alone. As of now the site works best in Firefox and the drop down menu should appear when "Portfolio" is hovered over. Here is the link to the CSS: CSS Thanks Ok I am creating a CSS/Javascript Horizontal drop down menu and everything looks great except when I go down and highlight items on my submenu the styles go away on the Menu Item Selected, how can I have those attributes maintain when I go on it's sub elements?

an oxymoron i know it is... but i need my css menu to not drop down, but rather drop up, setting the tag to a negative top: value isnt working either, as not all the pop-up menu's used are the same height. Any suggestions, or tutorials that you know of? First let me start of with this for doing all this work for my drop down menu and then finding out that IE6 (apparently 50% of people browsing) doesn't support :hover except on anchor tags. Here is my situation. I finally got my drop down menu working. However, there are three issues. when I hover over the 'companies' menu item 1) the menu expands and pushes the 'blog' and 'contact' menu items further down the menu. I will say that I did not define a width on the li tags because this is actually for a wordpress theme and I wanted to allow for more pages that might be added later. I thought that by defining a width I would be more likely to fill up my menu container. 2) the child/nested li tags aren't under the parent li tag. Basically the sub-menu items show up to the bottom and right of the 'companies' menu item. I want them to show up directly underneath the parent menu item. 3) the longer sub-menu items (nested li tags) are not showing up on the same line. It's like there is a width that is causing them to overlap or go down to the next row. Not sure if that makes sense. I am wanting it to appear on one line no matter how long the menu item is. I am sure that not defining a width on the li tags have something to do with some of these problems but I wanted others to take a look at it. Code(validated) and styles below. Tried to keep it simple. there are two img files that I use as well but couldn't figure out how to upload those. Any and all help from the CSS gurus will be greatly appreciated. Code:

I have created a style sheet drop down menu and it works fine in mozilla and most times in works in ie however sometimes the menu will not drop down in ie but when you hit refresh the menu drops down. any ideas. Below is my stylesheet for creating a css drop down menu - I am using csshover.htc for internet explorer and this in the html <!--[if IE]> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> body { behavior: url(<%lcURLTheme2%><%lcThemeName%>css/csshover.htc);} #menu ul li {float: left; width: 100%;} #menu ul li a {height: 1%;} </style> <![endif]--> #menu { z-index: 2000; background: url(../images/hoz_menu_BG.gif) repeat-x #8898BC; background-color: #8898BC; color: black; position: absolute; width: 100%; text-align: center; left: 0; cursor: pointer; font-size: .9em; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; border-bottom: 5px solid #CCD6EB; } /*top level for student*/ #menu #st ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 19.7%; float: left; } /*2nd level for student*/ #menu #st ul ul { width: 80%; position: absolute; left: 0; z-index: 500; } /*3rd level for student*/ #menu #st ul ul ul { width: 90%; position: absolute; left: 100%; top: 1px; } #menu a { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: transparent; text-decoration: none; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 4px 2px 4px 5px; } #menu a:link { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #4D678C; } #menu a:visited { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #4D678C; } #menu a:hover { color: #000000; background-color: #ABBAD7; } #menu ul { border-right: 1px dotted #FFFFFF; } #menu li { position: relative; } #menu ul ul li {border-bottom: 1px solid #FFFFFF; } #menu ul ul { border-right: 1px solid #FFFFFF; } #menu ul ul { border-top: 1px solid #FFFFFF; } /*#menu ul ul ul { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 100%; }*/ div#menu ul ul , div#menu ul li:hover ul ul, div#menu ul ul li:hover ul ul { display: none; } div#menu ul li:hover ul, div#menu ul ul li:hover ul, div#menu ul ul ul li:hover ul { display: block; } /*2nd menu colours - uses #menu styles and then overwrites them for top menu links*/ div#menu ul li li a { color: white; background-color: #4D678C; text-transform: capitalize; text-align: left; border-left: 1px solid #FFFFFF; } How easy is it to create one of these where when you hover over a link a menu appears underneath? Hi all, I'm having an issue with a drop down menu and have been beating myself up trying to figure it out. If I position the menu as relative it works when I resize the page/browser but it screws up the layout of the page (I put the <div> code right below the menu images to get it lined up but it throws the layout way off). By works I mean the menu will open right below the "Company" menu item regardless of browser size. Positioning the menu using absolute, it doesn't move if I resize the browser, etc. but it doesn't screw up the layout of the page. So my question is, how can I get this menu to always be under the correct menu option? You can use the link below to view my test page. The page is currently using absolute positioning and the coordinates are off since I was playing with the various positioning schemes. http://www.info-adv.com/test/css Any insight/help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. If you need me to elaborate or better explain my problem please let me know. Thanks, Tim I have a horizontal menu that drops vertically when you hover over a menu item. In IE7, the menu hides behind images making it invisible if it drops in a spot where an image is at. I haven't been able to find the answer to my problem, so I'm hoping someone here is familiar with this issue. I should mention it works in Firefox, but I haven't tested any other browsers. Hi, I am working on my site, and was wondering if anyone knew how to do a menu like this http://www.vh1.com/music/ The one on the left in blue.. how it turns to white. I am pretty sure this is done with css. Can anyone tell me how this is done? Thanks Hi, I am trying to make a drop down menu using only CSS. I want to be able to set the width of the menu and don't want the width to be dependant of size of the menu option. This is the XHTML code (I am using 1.0 strict): <div class="option"> <form name="navigation"> <select name="selectname" SIZE="1"> <option class="">not wide enough</option> <option class=""></option> <option class=""></option> <option class=""></option> </select> </form> </div> And the CSS part: div.option { position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 0px; width: 520px; height: 50px; z-index: 3; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; } What I would really like is to set the menu width to preffered (in pixels) and not as wide as the phrase "not wide enough" makes it. Is this possible with CSS. I am rying to avoid Javascript and tables (btw I'm using only divs as much as possible. Can someone point me where to look for this kind of thing. Thanks. I have been tasked with building a CSS drop down menu system. I have worked out I can use a hover event to invoke the drop-downs (and hide them again). However. How would I invoke one and keep it visible if they went down to the sub-menu rather than just disappearing because they left the element the hover is applied to? The code is here on an old Proboards test site: http://kayaoti.proboards.com/index.cgi The menu in the black bar is just one I used from a free code. It works fine except when you hover over the items, the drop-down tabs are out of alignment. I'm not code-savvy enough to know how to make them drop straight down or how to move them so they look nicer, but I'm guessing someone here could help me out in that regard. How can I edit the code (shown below) or whatever else to make the drop-down tabs look better aligned with the menu items? Code: <style type="text/css" media="screen"> /**************** menu coding *****************/ #menu { width: 748px; background: #000; float: left; } #menu ul { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 12em; float: left; } #menu h2 { color: #000; background: #000; text-transform: uppercase; } #menu a, #menu h2 { font: bold 11px/16px arial, helvetica, sans-serif; display: block; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #000 #000 #000 #000; margin: 0; padding: 2px 3px; } #menu a { color: #fff; background: #000000; text-decoration: none; } #menu a:hover { color: #fff; background: #000; } #menu li {position: relative;} #menu ul ul { position: absolute; z-index: 500; } #menu ul ul ul { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 100%; } div#menu ul ul, div#menu ul li:hover ul ul, div#menu ul ul li:hover ul ul {display: none;} div#menu ul li:hover ul, div#menu ul ul li:hover ul, div#menu ul ul ul li:hover ul {display: block;} </style> <!--[if IE]> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> #menu ul li {float: left; width: 100%;} </style> <![endif]--> <!--[if lt IE 7]> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> body { behavior: url(csshover.htc); font-size: 100%; } #menu ul li a {height: 1%;} #menu a, #menu h2 { font: bold 0.7em/1.4em arial, helvetica, sans-serif; } </style> <![endif]--> <div id="menu" style="position:relative; left:301px; top:483px;"> <ul><li><a href="http://dominionwolves.proboards.com/"><IMG SRC="http://i44.tinypic.com/24zb1vq.png" border="0"></a></li></ul> <ul><li><IMG SRC="http://i43.tinypic.com/311lyra.png" style="position:relative; left:-40px; top:2px;"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.seoconsultants.com/tips/css/#cssmenus">CSS Hover Navigation</a> <ul> <li><a href="../css-dropdown-menus.html" title="tanfa Introduction">Intro for CSS Enthusiasts</a></li> <li><a href="index.html" title="Plain HTML Code">Demonstration HTML</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html" title="whatever:hover file">csshover.htc file</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><IMG SRC="http://i39.tinypic.com/2cne1d5.png" style="position:relative; left:0px; top:2px;"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.seoconsultants.com/tips/css/#cssmenus" title="SEO Consultants Directory">CSS Hover Navigation</a> <ul> <li><a href="../css-dropdown-menus.html" title="tanfa Introduction">Intro for CSS Enthusiasts</a></li> <li><a href="index.html" title="Plain HTML Code">Demonstration HTML</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html" title="whatever:hover file">csshover.htc file</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><IMG SRC="http://i40.tinypic.com/24ffxu1.png" style="position:relative; left:55px; top:2px;"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/menus/vertical/" title="SEO Consultants Vertical Example">SEO Consultants Sample</a></li> <li><a href="vs7.html" title="Complete Example">tanfa Demo example</a> <ul> <li><a href="tutorial-v.html" title="Vertical Menu Tutorial">tanfa Tutorial</a> <ul> <li><a href="vs1.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 1">Stage 1</a></li> <li><a href="vs2.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 2">Stage 2</a></li> <li><a href="vs3.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 3">Stage 3</a></li> <li><a href="vs4.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 4">Stage 4</a></li> <li><a href="vs5.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 5">Stage 5</a></li> <li><a href="vs6.html" title="Vertical Menu - Page 6">Stage 6</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><IMG SRC="http://i42.tinypic.com/15cerno.png" style="position:relative; left:65px; top:2px;"> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.seoconsultants.com/css/menus/horizontal/" title="SEO Consultants Directory Example">SEO Consultants Sample</a></li> <li><a href="hs7.html">tanfa Demo example</a><!-- fully working sample --> <ul> <li><a href="tutorial-h.html" title="Horizontal Menu Tutorial">tanfa Tutorial</a> <ul> <li><a href="hs1.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 1">Stage 1</a></li> <li><a href="hs2.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 2">Stage 2</a></li> <li><a href="hs3.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 3">Stage 3</a></li> <li><a href="hs4.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 4">Stage 4</a></li> <li><a href="hs5.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 5">Stage 5</a></li> <li><a href="hs6.html" title="Horizontal Menu - Page 6">Stage 6</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div>
Hi I have the following script is from http://tiernok.com/tt/dropdown/styles/caffeine.css and http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/ that I am trying to modify. It runs fine both in IE and Netscape but look and feel is what I am trying to make it work. Here is the issue I am facing and have tried but couldn't figure it out 1. In IE when hovering over Services And Implementation there's too much gap between Services And Implementation and History1Histy1 as in FireFox it comes out fine but everything is overlapped. Want to have less gap between menu and sub-menu. 2. How can I increase the width for the menus and sub menus, as I want to fit everything in table width of 586. Code:

Any help is appreciated. Thanks Howdy. Take a look here. The menu is dropping behind the div for the body section in IE. I've tried mucking with the z-index, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Here's the menu code; Code:
#menu {
width:780px;
height:28px;
background: #CCCCCC url(images/menu_img.gif) no-repeat center top;
}
ul#nav {
padding: 0;
margin:0 25px 0 25px;
list-style: none;
}
li.navB {
float: left;
position: relative;
width: 230px;
margin:7px 0 7px 0;
font:bold 12px arial, verdana, sans-serif;
text-decoration:none;
color:#2F60C0;
}
li ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 15px;
left: 0;
padding:5px;
width:100px;
list-style:none;
margin:0;
z-index:3;
}
li ul li{
padding:2px;
width:100px;
list-style:none;
margin:auto;
}
li:hover ul, li.over ul{
display: block;
background:white;
border:1px solid #333333;
width:100px;
padding:5px;
position:absolute;
}
and the body code Code:
.product_container {
width:720px;
margin:auto;
margin-top:4px;
margin-bottom:4px;
border:1px solid black;
min-height:270px;
position:relative;
clear:both;
z-index:1;
}
.product_info {
float:left;
width:500px;
position:relative;
z-index:1;
}
.product_image {
float:right;
margin:auto;
margin-top:20px;
margin-bottom:20px;
position:relative;
font:10px arial;
color:#666666;
text-align:center;
z-index:1;
}
.clear {
clear:both;
margin-top:-1px;
height:1px;
overflow:hidden;
}
Any thoughts? Thanks |
