CSS - Dropdown Not Dropping In Mac Ie

For a navigation I am using, I must use an li height to control spacing in IE6. I'm also using bullets to show a user where they are in the site by only having one bullet display at a time.

Unfortunately, the height assignment I use on my li causes IE to misplace the bullet next to its secondary nav.

Below is code I'm using to troubleshoot:

Code:

<ul><li><a href="#">dog</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">cat</a></li>
  <li class="here"><a href="#">fish</a></li> 
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">trout</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">angel</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">salmon</a></li>
    </ul>
  <li><a href="#">turtle</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">elephant</a></li>
</ul>

Code:

li {height: 20px; list-style-type: none;}
li.here {list-style-type: disc;}

If a user is on the page fish, they will see that bullet point to page salmon.

Any recommendations?

Alright guys. I'm working on a horizontally scrolling news ticker type deal. I have two divs on screen, and the rest are off screen using the overflow:hidden on the parent.

The divs are set to 466px wide, float:left, and the parent is 932px wide. Since div 3 and up are all 466px, they drop down below the other two. Not a problem, since the overflow is set. However the jquery animation does not reset the reference point when it scrolls, so the divs stay in this arrangement. Is there any way to keep them all lined up next to eachother horizontally?

I'm wondering if there is a CSS solution first, before I get creative with the jQuery. I could easily set it for the next two divs to display right, but there is no telling how many divs there will be and it would quickly become a nightmare trying to account for all possibilities.

Here is the current CSS I'm using:
Code:

#test {background-color:#F1F2F2; width:932px; padding:10px; margin-top:20px;overflow:hidden; display:inline-block; height:400px;} #newswrapper {height:100px; position:relative; left:0px;} #newswrapper div {float:left; position:relative; background:#CCC; width:466px; height:400px;}

I made a drop down menu with css and I can't get it to work with IE6. Can anyone help?

You can view an example of what I have at the following url

Here is the CSS
Code:

#menu {
position:absolute;
background-color:#FF0000;
overflow:hidden;
height:30px; 
width:91px;
top:0px;
left:0px;
}
#menu:hover{
overflow:visible;
}
#menu a:link{
text-decoration:none;
}
#spacer{
height:30px;
}
#link_box{
background-color:#cbbba2;
border-left:#c1ad90 solid 1px;
border-right:#c1ad90 solid 1px;
border-bottom:#c1ad90 solid 1px;
padding-left:5px;
color:#51351a;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:bold;
font-size:12px;
text-decoration:none;
text-align:left;
}
#link_box:hover{
background-color:#51351a;
color:#FFFFFF;
}

Here is the HTML
Code:

<div  id="menu">
  <a href="#">
  <div id="spacer"></div></a>
   <a  href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a> 
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
   <a href="#"><div id="link_box">Link</div></a>
  </div>

Hi,

I'm trying to solve a little CSS issue with, guess what!, IE6.

92 (dot) 48 (dot) 108 (dot) 113 (forward slash) ~anyjob

In FF all is good, but when viewed in IE the nav bar has been forced down to misalign with my background red strip.

Also the dropdowns don't work.

Could anyone point me in the right direction. I don't think this is a float issue and I've read up as much as possible but this is really confusing me. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

hello,

i was reading the well-known suckerfish dropdown tutorial and was trying to do something like it. i thought i had understood the logic behind it, but i can't get it to work.

the nested unordered lists appear like so:

ITEM1
subitem1 subitem2 subitem3
ITEM2
subitem1 subitem2 subitem3

i wanted them to appear like so:

subitem1____subitem1
subitem2____subitem2
subitem3____subitem3
ITEM1_______ITEM 2

the positioning isn't too relevant, all i really wanted was to pull the nested ul out of the flow...

i made sure that the li ul part was positioned absolutely, but i can't do anything with it (no styling, no anything). my css/code must be the problem, but i can't see what i'm doing wrong. here's the relevant code:

CSS:
Code:

#menu ul { 
position: relative;
margin: 8em 0 0 0;
float: left; 
background-color: #D60078;
list-style-type: none;
}

#menu li 	{ 
display: inline; 
padding: 0 2.5em 0 0;
position: relative; 
}

#menu li a:link, a:visited { 
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
color: #FFF;
}

#menu li a:hover, a:active 	{ 
text-decoration: underline;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: small;
color: #FFF;
}

#menu li ul { position: absolute; 
left: 0; top: 0; 
background-color: #FFF;
display: block; 
} 

HTML:
Code:

<ul id="menu">
<li><a href="">ITEM1</a>
<!-- SUBMENU -->
<ul>
<li><a href="">subitem1</a></li>
<li><a href="">subitem2</a></li>
<li><a href="">subitem3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

<li><a href="">ITEM2</a>
<!-- SUBMENU -->
<ul>
<li><a href="">subitem1</a></li>
<li><a href="">subitem2</a></li>
<li><a href="">subitem3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

</ul>

i hope that made sense (after working on this for hours and trying everything that came to mind, i'm getting a little incoherent).

thanks for any help!

I've developed a dropdown navigation menu from a tutorial. The basic menu works perfect in IE and FF. But I would like to change a few things that for the life of me I can't get to work. First would be that under each item in the dropdown menu I would like there to be a bottom border. So in my css file I added border-bottom to the li li {} section. Now I am faced with two problems.

First in firefox the border expends maybe 5px. Apon further investigation I found that for some reason FF has the <li> tags only about 5px wide all over the place! In IE it extends atleast below the text but won't will the entire <li> like it should! FF also doesn't give the border to all the links like it should.

The next problem is in the width of the elements. Instead of the dropdown part being a set width, I would like the the part that drops down to stretch so that each link is on one line. But the entire part that drops down would be still remain rectangular like it does now.
Code:

Ex:
[Link1][Link2][Link3]  *with the mouse over the link 1

|Url1      |
|Url2      |
|Much Longer|

instead of

[Link1][Link2][Link3]  *with the mouse over the link 1
|Url1 |
|Url2 |
|Much|
|Longer|

I think this has something to do with the width of the li, so I set the width to auto. No change.

To recap my lengthy post. Getting a bottom border on the li tags in the dropdown Getting FF to behave with the bottom border and widths Each link should be on only one line
I think that getting the <li> width to behave will solve most of my problems. I've attached the original css and html pages.

Hello guys

I sure would appreciate some help integrating a css dropdown menu into a site. If you visit in FF, the drop down works find, If you open it in IE9 the dropdown does not work.
i am new to css.so cant solve the poblem.



Thanks for any help.

In today's Website Development world, which kind of Drop Down menus do the pro's prefer to use, pure CSS without Javascript or CSS with Javascript?

And also, can pure CSS Drop Down menus be used in Dynamic Websites?

Thank you.

i'm having a problem with a couple attributes for my CSS dropdowns.

view the page here
(both CSS and XHTML are on the same page)

specifically my .hoverBase:hover .hoverLaunch {} class
which reads as such:
Code:

.hoverBase:hover .hoverLaunch {
	display:block;
	position:absolute;
	top:15px;
	left:-3px;
	width:70px;
	border:3px solid #000000;
	text-align: center;
	z-index: 30;
}

the problem is that IE6 will not display the .hoverLaunch class like FireBird does, in fact, it does not display at all. Another awesome feature of IE6 is that the :hover i have applied on the .hoverbase does not work either. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I am in need of a code that will show a div (anysize) directly below a link and remain there when the mouse moves of the div but hides when the mouse moves out can someone please guide me to a code

Does anyone know how I can make it appear right under the porfolio link every time?

Hey all,

having a bit of trouble getting my drop down menu to display properly. It's modeled after the suckerfish menu, only modded a bit.

Here's the site...hover over 'machines' to see what i'm talking about (have to use FF, i haven't added the JS for IE yet).

The drop down is adopting the rollovers from the mainmenu, and I don't know what to change to make 'em different.

Here's the CSS for the menu:
Code:

#mainmenu {
width:780px;
height:41px;
margin:auto;
position:relative;
}

#mainmenu li.navigation {
width:78px;
height:41px;
float:left;
text-align:center;
background:#B8A488 url(images/mainmenu_roll.gif) no-repeat;
}

#mainmenu li.navigation a{
background:#66563D url(images/mainmenu_off.gif) no-repeat;
display:block;
text-decoration:none;
color:#F4F1E5;
height:31px;
padding-top:10px;
}

#mainmenu li.navigation a:hover {
background:transparent;
color:#66563D;
}

#mainmenu li#home {
background-image:url(images/home_roll.gif);
}

#mainmenu li#home a{
background-image:url(images/home_off.gif);
}

#mainmenu li#home a:hover {
background:transparent;
}


#mainmenu li#contact {
background-image:url(images/contact_roll.gif);
}

#mainmenu li#contact a {
background-image:url(images/mainmenu_off.gif);
}

#mainmenu li#contact a:hover {
background:transparent;
}

	/* BEGIN DROP DOWN MENU */
	
	li ul {
	  display: none;
	  position: absolute; 
	  top: 1px;
	  margin-left:-2px;
	  background-color:#B8A488;
	  border-left:1px solid #66563D;
	  border-bottom:1px solid #66563D;
	  padding:2px;
	  z-index:500;
	}
	
	* html li ul {
	top:26px;
	}
	
	/*
	li ul li {
	padding:0;
	}
	*/

	li > ul {
	top: auto;
	left: auto;
	}

	li:hover ul, li.over ul{ 
		display: block;
	}
	

Thanks!

Hi there,

I'm trying to integrate some SEO friendly dropdown menus into an existing website design.

The trouble I'm experiencing so far is that the body of the design is aligned centre, and most of the examples I've seen thus far use absolute positioning of <div> elements (i.e. the design is left-aligned, so the designer knows to position the dropdown div X pixels).

Is there a good reference I can use for positioning my divs properly?

Thanks

I am having problems getting a drop down menu to work in IE6. Using a little bit of javascript i finally got it to where the functionality is correct but the drop down menu appears behind the page content (in any browser). I have tried the z-index values and maybe I'm using them incorrectly but I cannot fix the problem. I kind of posted this problem before but was unable to give much detail. I was able to upload it though so I have link to both the CSS and the actual page. Any help would be greatly appreciated, or even if there is no fix, any help on drop downs in IE6 would be greatly appreciated.
