CSS - Navigation Bar Bg Image Expanding To Far
I'm currently working on a website and trying to setup two types of navigation. I don't know what happened with it, and I am by no means a expert with CSS... I'd barely say I am a beginner.. I merely took the code I am using from a different layout and am trying to tweak it. When originally designing the layout I had messed up on the slicing and the navigation worked fine. Upon reslicing the website and replacing the navigation code into the layout, I started noticing that the backgrounds for both sections are spanning wider then they are suppose to and do not know what I am over seeing or over looking. This problem has been bloody pissing me off for hours, and with all problems I have had with coding, it is probably something really simple, that I just have overlooked.
Here is the link. xquizitewarfare dot com/website/index.html (it isn't allowing me to post a direct link with me being a new member. This is something I'm trying to get finished, and don't want to proceed with coding the rest of the site until i have the nav figured out.) Like I said I am just barely a beginner at CSS.. I spent about a hour getting the Validators to like my code. Only one error and that is to do with a background, and i'm not sure how to fix it. If anybody is able to respond, I would greatly appreciate it. Similar TutorialsHi guys, I'm trying to sort out the top level menu. It's supposed to allow a hover effect, where a sub menu then appears. This secondary nav then spans across in an inline fashion. The link to the site is: http://yoursitetest.co.uk/index2.php However it seems to have some kind of 'width' set on the parent which the sub menu cannot expand past. This is some of the code i think is relevant: (Rest of nav cut due to repeating nature) Code: <ul id="navigation"> <li class="main" style="position:absolute; font-size:11px; z-index:90; left:0px;"><a href="#" class="co">Home</a> <ul style="display:none; z-index:100; height:28px;"> <li style="background-image:url(images/sm-l.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; width:15px; height:30px;"></li> <li><a href="#" style="background-color:#EEE;">asa</a></li> <li><a href="#" style="background-color:#EEE;">aa</a></li> <li><a href="#" style="background-color:#EEE;">aa</a></li> <li><a href="#" style="background-color:#EEE;">aa</a></li> <li><a href="#" style="background-color:#EEE;">aa</a></li> <li><a href="#" style="background-color:#EEE;">aa</a></li> <li><a href="#" style="background-color:#EEE;">aa</a></li> <li><a href="#" style="background-color:#EEE;">aa</a></li> <li style="background-image:url(images/sm-r.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; width:15px; height:30px;"></li> </ul> </li> </ul> CSS: Code: ul#navigation li.main { display:inline-block; list-style:none; position:relative; background-image:url(../images/tab_off.png); background-repeat:none; width:109px; height:8px; padding:10px; } ul#navigation li.main a { color:#FFF; } ul#navigation li.main:hover { background-image:url(../images/tab_on.png); background-repeat:none; } ul#navigation li ul { position:absolute; left:-50px; top:20px; } ul#navigation li ul li { display:inline-block; list-style:none; } Hope someone can help, Regards, Joe. hey. not sure If i can complete this in CSS, I know how to do a singular image scroll over change, but I have a navigation bar i am creating, with about 9 links across is.

I'm currently using Dreamweaver cs4 for my site, although I do have a medium to basic knowledge of html and CSS, so I can adapt coding. any help or pointers would be great. I am very new to web design. I had an old friend of mine design this website for me: directdevelopmentinternational.org I am now trying to use what he did for that website you put together my bands website: throughtheconcreterecords.com I am trying to get the navigation bar to sit inside of the blank white box I have created in my header image. I also just want the text to be black and maybe when highlighted change to a different color. I also am trying to make it so when you click the burning book logo in the upper left corner it brings you back to the main page.

Hello, I started off trying to find a content box that expands depending on screen res because the last one I made would break in the middle if the users screen res was over 1600px wide. This box worked great with the screen res but now I'm trying to put content in it and my content is not expanding the box down. Instead of pushing the box lower and forcing a scroll bar. The content keeps going down past the bottom of the box and makes a scroll bar. Any idea how I can make the box expand with my content? here is a link to my test page. http://www.gamerunion.com/test.html My css code.

It works fine in Firefox and Safari, but doesn't work in IE6, IE7, and Opera, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. The previous link and next link appears when they hover over the right and left side of the picture.

I'm trying to put it on a WordPress site ... Any links or help would be much appreciated! Laura S. I have been searching on the level world wide web for a tutorial about how to get CSS down for a horizontal navigation bar that uses different images for each individual button's off and on states? Many of the tutorials I have found use some sort of background or two state images, and then write text on top the the images. What if the buttons are designed in a non-arial/verdana/times/san serif font? I assume it would be best to just use images for the nav bar, but then, how do I write the CSS for a nav bar that's using a specific image as it's off stage, and then switches to another image when you scroll over it? Hey guys, Can someone help me with the following code? I've attempted two fixes, one that alters caching with JavaScript, and another fix with apache, but the server admin is restricting access to the config file. Does anyone know a work around besides these two methods (even if it's semantically incorrect)?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to convert a jscript rollover setup to using CSS sprites. I have setup the following sprite: [IMG]eagleonedims.com/images/navmap.jpg[/IMG] I cannot figure out how to have the <li> sections replace the entire ba6nner with a shifted-down sprite upon rollover. The shifted sprite just appears within the boundaries of the respective<li> section. The reason for needing this is to include the cloud effect which overlap the other li sections. Basically, upon rollover I need the ENTIRE navmap.jpg image to be shifted by 88px down. The image is 1000px wide and each sprite is 88px tall. Thanks for any help!

The seperate CSS file does the image replacements on the <a> and hides the text within the <span>, usual stuff. The nav works great, with the graphic rollovers etc. The rollover, again, standard way of doing it, background: url(<FILE>) no-repeat top left; and the a:hover rollover is a background: bottom left;. Edit: Just noticed that I can't link to the full site that I have uploaded for preview. What I want to do, is when the user roll's over any of the items within the sub-navigation, it keeps the main Services navigation link rolled over also. The only way I could think of doing this, and relatively simply, would be to use JavaScript, but wanted to explore any other CSS ways of doing this. For example, is it possible to change a style of another class, from another? Your help would be much appreciated! going bonkers, I have tried everything to find out why on earth the background goes all the way to the right when this page is viewed in IE..

Ussually when I do this sort of thing I have a repeating background image or something so it makes it appear they are both the same height, except this template is using rounded corners, so a repeating background won't work. Code: #wrapper{ width:962px; margin: 25px auto; } #mainContent{ width:735px; background-color: #F4FEFE; padding:0px; border:0px; float:left; } #rightColumn{ background-color: #F4FEFE; width:207px; height:100%; min-height:100%; float:left; margin-left:20px; } Click here to see what I'm talking about... I want that right column to match the height of the main content div. Would this only be possible using JavaScript or is there a CSS solution? Hi all, I have a site where I have several divs that stack on top of each other for layout purposes and they fill the entire width of the screen. In the div that contains the content, I'm finding a rare case where a table appears that's so wide, it is off the edge of the content element. I wanted to do overflow:auto so that it wouldn't mess up the layout but the customer wants the layout to expand with the content. Since all these divs sit on top of each, they aren't really interacting with the div that has the content in it. Is the only way to make those expand to use JavaScript to detect the width and adjust on the fly or is there a better way to do it? I'll be happy to supply some code if you all need me to but its a lot so I'll hold off on that for now. I think that this is something really basic but I just haven't been able to put my finger on the problem. Can someone please point me in the right direction? In IE 6 the cell background (as defined in CSS) or the table cell size is not correct, but it looks fine in FF. The test page is: http://www.kdays.com/box/kerrin.htm Hi there I have a container DIV that nests 4 DIVs one on top of the next (logo, navigation, content and footer, all the same widths). If there is a single paragraph (or small amount) of text in the content DIV of the page, the page looks fine. However, if there is a large amount of text in the content DIV of the page, the width gets pushed out slightly. IE5 is fine. Firefox and Opera are the problem. Note: I have left the height of the content DIV blank as it will be of varied size. When I set a height of say, 500px, the page looks fine (but because a background colour is needed for the DIV, it doesn't appear as I intended it to). Any ideas to why this is happening? Thanks in advance :-) -Solange. I have started creating a new DIV layout for my website but can't seem to get it to function correctly. I finally got the DIVs to expand with whatever content is in them, but now they will only span to the height of the window and hide the rest of the content instead of expanding further and just making the IE window scroll. Maybe one of you guys can help me out? Here is the test page: well apparently I can't post the url, so I guess I'll just "say" it. juicyart dot net / test.html Hi, I am trying to make a website for a friend that scales to fit most monitors. The website is very image heavy and I have a navigation bar on the left side that lines up with the background on the right. I haven't made a webpage for awhile so I don't know a lot about CSS. This is what I have so far. It almost works, but the background on the right will not expand to fit the full div, only goes up to the content that I put inside the Div. The background also doesn't appear to shrink when I scale the window size. HTML CODE: Code: <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css"/> <title>Test Page</title> </head> <body> <div id="sample-container" align="center"> <div id="header"> <img src="images/header.jpg" width="1647" height="147" / id="headerbar"></div> <div id="nav"> <img src="images/navbar.jpg" width="413" height="776" / id="navbar"></div> <div id="content"> <img src="../../../Pictures/Misc/101_0138.JPG" width="527" height="428" /> </div> <div id="footer"></div> </div> </body> </html> CSS CODE: Code: #header { height: auto; background-color: #666; } #nav { float: left; width: 25%; height: auto; background-color: #999; margin-bottom: 10px; } #content { float: left; width: 75%; height: auto; background: url(images/mountain.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; margin-bottom: 10px; } #footer { clear: both; height: 50px; background-color: #666; margin-bottom: 10px; } #headerbar { height:auto; width:100%; } #navbar { height:auto; width:100%; } If anyone knows a way to expand the background to fill the div and scale down when the div scales is size, that would be great. I was also thinking that maybe I could put the the navigation bar and the background image on the page and not as an background. Put those both in a div and have a floating div on the right aligned over the top of the background that contains the page content. If anyone could give any help with a solution it would be appreciated. Thanks. |
