CSS - Drop Down Menu And Relatively Positioned Element
hi,
I've run into a bit of a problem... I'm trying to set up a drop down menu in my navigation bar. I'm using the method from www.gazingus.org/html/menuDropdown.html it works except for the fact that it hides behind a relatively positioned element - sa-ewb.org.uk/trial/about_us.htm can I use z-index to fix this? I'd really appreciate some help on this! thanks, Jim. Similar TutorialsThe goal of the following code is to have a search box with several tabs above it to narrow down the search. The issue is that the design calls for a little upside down triangle to appear below the tab and bleed into the text box. The code works great in Firefox and even in IE6 where the Doctype was switched to HTML 3.2. I'm using 4.01 Transitional and noticing that the arrow doesn't center itself below the tab, rather it centers itself in the entire page. If I take out the width: 100% from .searchbox li.active .downarrow, then both browsers behave the same, although the downarrow now appears in the left bottom corner of the tab rather than the center. Note that I've stripped most of the code away to narrow down the issue. Code:
<style>
.searchbox ul { float: left; padding-left: 10px; list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 10px 0 0 0; }
.searchbox li { float: left; }
.searchbox li .downarrow { display: none; }
.searchbox li a { display: block; float: left; font-size: 12px; padding: 3px; color: #213327; }
.searchbox li.active { position: relative; }
.searchbox li.active a { color: #fff; border: 1px solid #b3b2b0; background: #266d1e url('/c2footsearchbg.jpg') repeat-x scroll top left; }
.searchbox li.active a:hover { text-decoration: none; }
.searchbox li.active .downarrow { display: block; position: absolute; bottom: -9px; width: 100%; height: 10px; text-align: center; margin: auto; }
.searchbox div { clear: both; display: inline-block; }
.searchbox input.txt { border: 2px solid #999; padding: 5px 0 0 3px; width: 305px; height: 30px; }
.searchbox input.submit { font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; color: #fff; width: 71px; height: 30px; border: 0; background: transparent url('/c2searchbutton.jpg') no-repeat scroll top left; vertical-align: top; cursor: pointer; }
.searchbox input.submit:hover { background-position: 0 -30px; }
</style>
<div class="searchbox">

What causes this? I have my small login form absolutely positioned relative to the content div, and it displays differently when there is/isn't content in it... have a look Test you can click the link to remove the data and position the bitlogin div as it is supposed to be... when the content is added, the bitlogin div moves down approx. 13px... What's the deal? Hi everyone. I have a header section to my website, and to line up the navigation to the top of the bottom most element, I used absolute positioning to acheive this inside a relative positioned element. The strange thing is is that when first loaded, the absolutely positioned navigation is pulled completely from the parent relative div and shoved to the top of the screen. However, on refresh it jumps to where it should be per the css. Here's the CSS... Code:
#hd {
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 780px;
margin: 30px 0 0 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #0099CC;
}
#hdlogo {
float: left;
margin: 0 0 18px 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: left;
}
#hdnav {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#hdnav ul {
position: absolute;
bottom: 16px;
right: 0;
height: 22px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#hdnav ul li {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
#hdnav ul li a:link img, #hdnav ul li a:visited img {
border: 0;
}
#hdbar {
clear: right;
width: 780px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
And the HTML... Code: <div id="hd"> <div id="hdlogo"> <img src="images/logo.gif" alt="Home" title="Home"/> </div> <div id="hdnav"> <ul> <li><a href="index.htm"><img src="images/home.gif" alt="Home" title="Home" /></a></li> <li><a href="aboutus.htm"><img src="images/aboutus.gif" alt="About us" title="About us" /></a></li> <li><a href="performance.htm"><img src="images/performance.gif" alt="Performance" title="Performance" /></a></li> <li><a href="aesthetics.htm"><img src="images/aesthetics.gif" alt="Aesthetics" title="Aesthetics" /></a></li> <li><a href="sustainability.htm"><img src="images/sustainability.gif" alt="Sustainability" title="Sustainability" /></a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="hdbar"> <img src="images/hd-bar.gif" alt="" title="" /> <!-- hd-bar is 780px wide by 16px high --> </div> </div> Just for further knowledge, here's the body tag, and the two container wraps for the rest of the site... Code:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #555759;
}
body a:link, body a:visited {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #555759;
}
body a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #555759;
}
#content {
width: 780px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
}
#allwrap {
float: left;
width: 780px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#content centers everything and #allwrap is a container for all it's child elements. I've also had a colleague that said in IE 6.0 that the navigation stacks, rather than displays inline. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks a bunch.. -Brian I'm using a relative-positioned div as a container for an image, which is absolute-positioned. I'm doing this so that the image will automatically scale down to fit inside the containing div (nothing else I've tried has done this for me- so if there is another way to achieve this, please fill me in). This part works fine, but the image isn't as wide as the containing div, so I would like to center the image inside the div- but I can't seem to get it to work. I tried the obvious text-align:center in the div. That actually worked... kinda. The image's left-side was in the center of the div, but obviously isn't the 'centering' that I'm looking for. I then tried setting margin-left and margin-right on the image to auto, and that did nothing. I suspect that the fact that I have my image absolute-positioned is the culprit here, but I don't know how to get around it- or IF I can get around it without drastically changing my approach. Admittedly, the container div resides inside a table cell. I know that isn't the best practice, but I spent so much time trying a div-only approach only to waste time and become frustrated that I went back to what I know works- at least for now. I tried removing the container div from the table and inserting the image directly to the table cell- but encountered more issues with the sizing of the image. Essentially, my code is something like this: CSS: Code:
td#CONTENTDISPLAY
{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: left;
vertical-align: top;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
}
div#CONTENTBANNER
{
position: relative;
height: 100%;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
}
img.CONTENTIMG
{
position: absolute;
height: 100%;
}
HTML: Code:
...
<td id="CONTENTDISPLAY">
<div id="CONTENTBANNER">
<img class="CONTENTIMG" />
</div>
</td>
...
Nothing flashy, I know. One thing I should mention, however, is that the image is ALWAYS placed inside the container div using a Javascript function (it's a dynamic image). I doubt that makes a difference, but I figure it's worth mentioning. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Thanks! - skubik Hello 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:

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.

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. Something for the css pros: Can anybody give me a hint on how to convert the following (table) based markup snippet to div-only markup? http://www.twosailors.net/test.html In all my tests I cannot get the rightmost cell expand so the whole menu gets it's total size. I do NOT want to convert the boxes to fixed width but keep them shrinkwrapping around the menu texts. Also, I do want a border around the boxes so any faking with background colors will not work either. Any ideas? Andreas Pardeike 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? Hi this theme had an old dropdown menu that was acting weird in some browsers so I updated it with a plugin and now to need to customize it to look a certain way. There are a few stylesheets at work because of the plugin but I am unable to discern why the "Contact Us" text is off-center in the button. I can see that it seems to be too long, but I don't know why it is favoring the right side of the background, instead of being centered in the background. If someone could help me demystify this I would be MUCH obliged. I will post a link so that it can be inspected... When I am allowed after 4 more posts! Please inspect the elements (too much code to post with all different style sheets at play!). Thank you. EDIT: here is link: http://drewclifton.com/clients/northern-computer/ You can also see that the dropdown under 'Services' looks funky; I'm thinking a 'sliding door' solution would be appropriate yes? Thank you. 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.

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?

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 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 |
