CSS - Safari Leaves Remnant Of Css Dropdown Menu

My second level menu items are not showing in IE, but show fine in firefox.

Code:

	position: relative;
	text-align: center;
	margin: 0 auto;
	padding-left:0px;
	padding-top:35px;
	padding-bottom:15px; }

#menu {
text-align: center;
display:table;
padding:5;
margin:0 auto;
list-style-type:none;

Help!! I am trying to design this website: nitrocanine .com/D/DDesign and the dropdown menus won't work in IE, while they work in Chrome, Safari, Firefox... does anyone know how to make them work in IE as well?? You can view the source and see the css coding and the relevant HTML.

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.

First I am using Dreamweaver MX2004.

I am still new to CSS, have not used it much. Still using tables (yeah i know) for the layout. Mainly because when I've tried positioning in the past, IE doesn't display it right. Layers don't seem to work for me!

What I'd like to know is: can I use CSS (the son of suckerfish dropdowns) for my drop down menu in a separate HTML file that would be saved as a library item? I'd like the nav separate so I can update it easily. Should I also use a separate CSS file that would only be associated with the nav? Is necessary to have an external css sheet, if it only applys to this nav? The nav would get dropped into a table row under the top banner. My issue is: will it get positioned right ? And will it view ok in IE??? Hope I explained this right. I fear that what I have already coded, would get messed up if I do this! But due to search engine optimization, I'd like to avoid a fully functioning javascript dropdown.

If you have a better suggestion/usage for a dropdown horizontal nav, I'd appreciate your ideas!

Thanks for the advice!

Need some help with some dropdown menus.

I have been reading many of the tutorials on other sites.

I have come up with this code for my drop down menus:

Code:

.dropmenu {
   position: absolute;
   left: -1500px;
   visibility: visible;
   z-index: 101;
   float: left;
   width: 122px;

   border-width: 1px;
   border-style: solid;
   border-color: #BFBFBF;	
   background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.dropmenu ul {
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
   list-style-type: none;
}
.dropmenu li {
   display: inline;
}
.dropmenu a, .dropmenu a:visited, .dropmenu a:active {
   display: block;
   width: 120px;

   padding: 2px;
   margin: 1px;
   font-family: Arial;
   font-size: 10px;
   font-weight: normal;
   text-align: center;
   text-decoration: none;

   color: #000000;
   background-color: #D4D4D4;
}
.dropmenu a:hover {
   padding: 2px;
   margin: 1px;
   font-family: Arial;
   font-size: 10px;
   font-weight: normal;
   text-align: center;
   text-decoration: none;

   color: #000000;
   background-color: #BFBFBF;
}

but no matter how much I adjust settings that I know, I cannot get the dropdowns to show up below my original buttons, they always show up to the right hand side.

Can someone here please point me in the right direction...

Hi

I am trying to create a drop down menu on my existing design.

Code:

http://dfinnema.com/help

How would I add a drop down to Page 3 menu that looks like this:

Code:

http://dfinnema.com/help/images/dropdown_active.png

Without the menu:

Code:

http://dfinnema.com/help/images/dropdown.png

Any Ideas / Suggestions? :|

I have been hunting around for an all CSS drop down menu that when you hover on the heading the menu expands down to show the heading 1 menu and if you hovered over the next menu item this expands to show that menu list instead a bit like the 'be the first to apply' on the right of this page, http://www.fish4.co.uk/iad/jobs
search for say 'admin' just to get to the results page as this is where the menu is.

the look is not important but the function is

BUT....

i wanted to have many links in the drop down not just the one as in this example.

this is the extracted code i have got so far that does what you see on this page.

Code:

<style>

#rightcolumn {
 float: right;
 width: 170px;
 text-align: center;
}

#leftcolumn {
 float: left;
 width: 545px;
 padding: 10px;
}

h3#bftahead {
	text-align:left;
	color:#c1001f;
	font-size:1.5em;
	font-weight:bold;
	margin:23px 0px 10px 0px;
	}

#bfta h4 {
	font-size:1.1em;
	margin:0em;
	padding:0.4em 0.1em 0.6em 0.1em
	}

#bfta {
	width:170px;
   	text-align:left;
   	padding:0px;
   	margin:0px 0px 10px 0px;
   	list-style-type:none;
   	height:47em;
   	overflow:hidden;
   	background:#ffffff url('images/bfta-background.jpg') bottom no-repeat;
	border-bottom:1px solid #cfcfcf;
   }

#bfta li {float:left;width:100%;}

#bfta li a {
   	padding:0.5em 3%;
   	display:block;
   	width:94%;
   	height:1.95em;
	margin-bottom:-0.4em;
   	overflow:hidden;
   	text-decoration:none;
   	background:transparent url('images/bfta-background.png') no-repeat;
   	color:#333333;
   	font-family:arial, sans-serif;
   }

#bfta li a#last, #bfta li a:hover {height:24em;}

#bfta-whitebrand {list-style:none;margin:0em 0em 1em 1em;padding:0px;}
#bfta-whitebrand li {padding:0em 0.4em;}	

</style>

<div id="leftcolumn">
<ul id="bfta">

	<li>
	<h4>a1</h4>
	a1
    </li>

	<li><a href="a2">
	<h4>a2</h4>
	a2</a>
    </li>

	<li><a href="a3">
	<h4>a4</h4>
	a3</a>
    </li>

</ul>
</div>

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,
on my site http://www.mattmdesign.com, sometimes when you mouseover the portfolio the menu appears in the wrong spot. someone also said that it is appearing on the left side of the page everytime with mozilla 1.0
Does anyone know how I can make it appear right under the porfolio link every time?
Thanks, Matt

Hi all --

I've used plenty of CSS in the past, but I'm currently working on a dropdown menu that is more challenging than I had anticipated. A few things I need to fix that I just cannot figure out:

1) The last <li> in the dropdown seems to be overlapping my border

2) I want to put at least 10px of padding on the left hand side of the dropdown menu

3) I need to turn the carrot in front of each menu item to #ff9900

4) Whenever I try to increase or decrease the space between menu items, it seems as though white lines appear between my menu items.

In the interest of full disclosure, I found this CSS out somewhere on the web, and I've been trying to customize it since I didn't feel I had the knowledge to build it from scratch. Normally, I'd prefer to create something on my own, but limited time and knowledge prevented me from doing so this time around.

Attached below are my HTML and CSS code. I tried to post a link, but the forum will not allow me.

If you can offer any assistance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi

This dropdown menu on Products works in Firefox but when I goto IE7 I dont see anything at all. I have tried changing the div Class to a Div Id also without any change. Anybody have any clues to what I have todo?

L.

I am trying to create a website for my business and I cannot seem to center the navigation at the top of the screen and have the areas to the left and right of the screen be filled with the same bg color as the UL. I know usually you would set the margins to 0 auto to center that element on the page but for some reason its not working and the UL is just sticking to the left part of the screen. If anybody knows how to get this centered or how to fix my html/css i would sincerely appreciate it. Here is my code (html then css):
