The problem is, when I select the next list item, previously selected list item should come to the original color. Is there any way I can achieve this? Your guidence will be appreciated. Many thanks I'm a CSS novice, struggling to understand the nuances of some open source CSS I'm using for a site. The main horizontal navigation has an extra item at the end of the row and I can't figure out why. Can you help me get rid of it? Here is my include for the navigation: <ul> <li><a href="/index.shtml">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/about.shtml">About</a></li> <li><a href="/ultreyas.shtml">Ultreyas</a></li> <li><a href="/weekends.shtml">Weekends</a></li> <li><a href="/FAQs.shtml">FAQs</a></li> <li><a href="/servant_community.shtml">Servant Community</a></li> <li><a href="/resources.shtml">Resources</a></li> <li><a href="/stay_in_touch.shtml">Stay in Touch</a></li> <li><a href="/donate.shtml">Donate</a></li> </ul> Here is the CSS: /*----------------------------*/ /* 2.4 - Navigation - Level 2 */ /*----------------------------*/ .nav2 {clear: both; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: verdana, arial, sans serif; font-size: 1.0em;} .nav2 ul {float: left; width: 770px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-top: solid 1px rgb(54,83,151); border-bottom: solid 1px rgb(54,83,151); background-color: rgb(64,134,204); font-weight: bold;} .nav2 li {display: inline; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;} .nav2 li a {display: block; float: left; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px; border-right: solid 1px rgb(54,83,151); color: rgb(255,255,255); text-transform: uppercase; text-decoration: none; font-size: 100%;} .nav2 a:hover, .nav2 a.selected {color: rgb(50,50,50); text-decoration: none;} .buffer {clear: both; width: 770px; height: 30px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: rgb(255,255,255);} I'd like "Donate" to be the last item, but there is another empty box appearing to the right of it. Much obliged, Laurie I have a list that I've created with the list-style-type being an image. For some reason, the space between the list-style-image and the list text differs in IE and Firefox. Has this happened to anyone else, or am I doing something incorrectly? Below is the code. The cell that these lists sit in has has an id of 'cellid'. Code:
#cellid {
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
}
#cellid ul {
margin: 10px 0 0 20px;
padding: 0 0;
}
#cellid li {
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
list-style-image: url(images/idxyellowlist.gif);
}
The ul has a margin of 20px on the left to line up with an element above it. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get around this space? Thanks, Brian The page below renders as I want in Firefox but IE inserts extra spaces I don't want in the 1st list. I've worked out I can get rid of this by removing all whitespace from the html, but this makes for some hard to maintain code. Is there something I can do in css that will make IE handle the list the way I want it to? Code:

I was wondering if anyone knows how to get a space between blocks in a list. If you have list that have more that one line in a block it looks better to have gaps greater than the leading to separate them. I can't figure how to accomplish this, does anyone have any ideas. I've been struggling with this a bit. I would rather not use a container div for my lists, but it seems that it's not possible to assign the lists themselves a width. When I assign a width to the <ol> element, I lose the numbers under the margin on the left, which I can sort-of understand. If I assign a width to the <li> elements, it works fine in Firefox, but IE drops the number on the first <li> and changes the numbers on each following <li> to "1". Hi all, and thanks for reading. The following code looks fine in Firefox, but has huge spaces between the images in IE 6. CSS: Code:
#menu {float:left; width:157px; background-color:#FFFFFF;}
#menu IMG {display:block; margin:0; padding:0;}
#menu UL {list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0; background-color:#FFFFFF;}
#menu UL LI {margin:0; padding:0;}
HTML: Code:

Thanks in advance. -colin Please look at the bottom of this page in FF - http://certified.tmhdesign.com The li elements have a margin-left or the ul a padding left. Can someone help me out? Here is my css ul#hp_offers{ width:600px; margin:0 0 0 10px; border:1px solid #e0e0e0; } ul#hp_offers li{ padding:3px 5px 3px 25px; border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0; list-style:none; list-style-type:none; margin:0; } li.even{ background: #f1efef url(../images/offer_even_bullet.gif) no-repeat 10px 7px; } li.odd{ background: #e0e0e0 url(../images/offer_odd_bullet.gif) no-repeat 10px 7px; } I am having trouble with my navigation. it works fine in safari and firefox, but when i try it in IE for the PC the main navigational elements don't move. does anyone know why? www.iconiqdesigner.com thanks! Of course, IE is being a P.I.T.A. I can't figure out why this is happening... but it's probably something so simple I'm overlooking it. I have a set of images and/or links set up as a list and the last item on the first row shifts down. After that row, everything looks fine. No problems on FF, Chrome and Safari (Mac). See this page for example and view with Explorer: www[dot]cameronstevens[dot]ca/gallery[dot]html Thanks Hey everyone, After doing some reprogramming of the site I was making I'm having troubles with lists. I can't set the width of the li or a so that the size takes shape. I can't figure out why, or how to do it. I know I've done it before but the code i used there just doesn't seem to want to work. The LI and A tags take the size of the text within. I've checked the resources I could find in the sticky and that kravitz gave me and they seem to be able to set width but it's just not working. here is my css Code:
#menu{
width:750px;
border:thin solid #000000;
}
#menu ul{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:750px;
display:inline;
}
#menu li{
width:150px;
display:inline;
border:thin solid #000000;
list-style-type:none;
background-color:#550210;
}
#menu a{
width:150px;
}
If I take out the display:inline the width takes shape but when I put it back in it resizes to the size of the text within. Is there any way to have horizontal list items automatically fill any given width? for example, If I have 5 list items, I can set each width to 20% and the list will fill the width of the container, but if I don't set a width, then they collapse to the left. the behavior I'm after is like a table. The 'old' way to create a horizontal list would be to create a table with one row and 5 cols. Setting the width of the table to 100% would make each cell 20% automatically. Any way to accomplish this in css without explicitly setting the width? First of all, I hope this makes sense - I just spent two hours nonstop tweaking the navigation on my first client's site, and my brain and eyes are a bit frazzled. I have the navigation in a list, displayed horizontally in a Suckerfish dropdown. The container is elastic but the navigation is not; I want it to stick to the right side but move to the left when the browser is made narrower. Floating it to the right works perfectly.. But it reverses the order of my list items so that "Home" is to the far right instead of the left. Is there any way to reverse the order of the list items without touching the HTML? Going for full accessibility here, so I obviously don't want to reverse the item order in the HTML. I could probably figure this out on my own but it would take time, and like I said.. My brain is a little wonky right now Thanks in advance! I am really stumped -- I need to stack images on top of one another using an unordered list but I get a few pixels of whitespace at the bottom no matter what I do. I know this could be acheived using divs instead but I would like to figure it out using lists. I broke the code into as simple a form as possible and put it below. Removing everything between the </li> tag and the next <li> tag does not work. I tried adding "height: 20px;" under "#nav ul li" to force the images to stack on top of each other -- this works in Safari and Firefox but not in IE Windows. If I remove the DocType tag or switch it to xhtml transitional the images do stack in Safari but not in Firefox or IE. Am I missing something here or is this just not possible? Appreciate any help.

I've been using CSS for a couple of days now, and am a bit stuck on how to change the main background image in the body when I hover over a menu item on the side bar. Changing the menu item background seemed easy enough. But, I suspect I am missing a key piece on how to get access to a body style from inside a list style. Here is the short section I am working on, with the full CSS file shown below that. This validates with a couple of warnings about my black on black color selection. I would certainly appreciate any help with this. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> <html> <head> <title>HOTWORKS</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="stylz.css" type="text/css"> </head> <body class="top" id="bdy" > <!-- Site navigation menu --> <ul class="navbar" id="navlist"> <li><a href="tools.html"><br>Tools</a> <li><a href="glass.html"><br>Glass <br> Artwork</a> <li><a href="pottery.html"><br>Ceramic<br> Artwork</a> <li><a href="about.html"><br>About</a> </ul> <!-- Main content --> <h1> </h1> <p> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> TOOLS - ART - MISCELLANEA <br> <address> </address> </body> </html> Code: #navlist a:hover {

background-position: 0px -10px;
color:#FF0000;
/* how do I do something like this
body.top { background-image: url(images/tabtool.jpg) ; }
*/
}
Just to be complete, and in case there is something in here that you might need, here is the full css file: Code:
body.top {
padding-left: 11em;

font-size:15px;

Hey guys, Here's my problem: http://www.3rdcoastpc.com/moonstoys/ Basically I want the menu in the rounded rectangle area, not underneath (outside) of it. You can see what's happening in the URL. If I use a span tag instead of a div in the head_content class, the background (the right corner of the rounded rectangle) doesn't show. I'm not sure what's going on here because in my HTML I'm putting the <ul> tags right after the logo image, so I would think that it would sit next to the logo and not underneath it. I'm just confused as this is my first attempt at doing a tableless design. Here's my css: http://www.3rdcoastpc.com/moonstoys/main.css and the HTML: http://www.3rdcoastpc.com/moonstoys/index.html Thanks in advance! Dustin I would like the link colour to change and the background of the <li> to change as well. I can't figure out what CSS to use for it though. I have made bold and underlined the li I want to change on hover. Code: <li id="menuitem_2mainnav"> <a id="menulink_2mainnav" class="mainlevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=2">Meetings</a> <ul id="menulist_2mainnav"> <li id="menuitem_2_1mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_1mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=14">TEST 1</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_2mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_2mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=15">TEST 2</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_3mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_3mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=16">TEST 3</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_4mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_4mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=17">TEST 4</a></li> </ul> </li> I have tried: Code: #menulist_2mainnav li:hover{ color:#000000 !important; }
But it doesn't change the links text colour. I have a navigation menu that uses ul and li for its headings. I also have a javascript that gets called on hover of the menu items. I would like a different script called for hovering over each menu item (so a different action happens for each item). What is the best way to achieve this? Can I have different styles for the menu items? Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Hi</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="hoverIntent.js" type="text/javascript.</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#nav a").append("<em></em>");
$("#nav a").hoverIntent(function () {
$(this).find("em").animate({ opacity: "show", top: "-34" }, "fast");
var hoverText = $(this).attr("title");
$(this).find("em").text(hoverText);
}, function () {
$(this).find("em").animate({ opacity: "hide", top: "-43" }, "fast");
});
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
body {
margin: 0px;
}

position: absolute;
top: -43px;

Hi, I need to adjust only the 1st link(for 1st menu item) of my main menu. I have used pat pat template and have managed to apply a background image for the first item. Here is the css: Code: #first-suckerfish-vertical{
background:url(../images/menutop.jpg) no-repeat;
height:75px;
margin-top:-2.5px !important;
margin-top:-3px;
position:relative;
}
Now to apply style on the main menu item, i use a.mainlevel. but i cant use the a.mainlevel..coz it will adjust all the links. I need to apply style only to the first link of my menu. I am wondering if there's a way in css to access a class from another class or id. I already have this style(#first-suckerfish-vertical) for the 1st menu item. is it possible now to access the a.mainlevel from it.. Thx Hi, I have asp menu in my aspx page. There are 3 menu items. If the user clicks on a menu item, I want to highlight the menu with a different color and by default the other menu items should have another color. So only the currently selected menu, should have the different color, and the other menu items should have the default color. How to achieve this? Thank you |
