CSS - Problem With Drop Down Menu

Hello everyone, I need help with my drop down menu. There is a problem with CSS I think because it conflict with each other. I download both template and drop down menu script from somewhere else.

This is the original html template
http://www.styleshout.com/templates...ce11/index.html

This is my website with drop down menu added but it's not working
http://ghazifly.110mb.com/marketplace11/

I guess the template CSS might clash with the dropdownmenu CSS.

My index.html navigation code, I think theres nothing wrong with this code.
Code:

	<!-- navigation starts-->	
	<div  id="nav">
		<ul><ul id="jsddm">
			<li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
            
                         <li><a href="#">Drop Down Menu</a>
		<ul>
			     <li><a href="#">Other page</a></li>
			     <li><a href="#">jQuery Plugin</a></li>
			     <li><a href="#">Ajax Navigation</a></li>
		</ul>
	       </li>
            
			<li><a href="index.html">Archives</a></li>			
			<li><a href="index.html">About</a></li>
            			

</ul> 		
		</ul>
	<!-- navigation ends-->	

My website CSS top navigation code:
PHP Code:

Please help me with CSS. I spend like 10 hours experimenting with CSS but still not working,

So as you can see I only pasted the right code so it should be working but somehow both CSS interfere with each other and messed up my top navigation design. Also the dropdownmenu is showing horizontally. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hi guys,

I've written a drop-down menu, located here (there's only a drop down menu on the "Services" link in the menu.

Now, the menu works fine in FireFox, however it completely screws up in IE (I'm not too worried about the menu being put on the right in IE, just moreso about all the gaps its making).

To do the menu, I'm simply using an extra table for the drop down menu which has its display property set to none, and giving it the css property of "position: absolute;". Then when it is rolled over, it just changes to "display: block".

How would I go about fixing this?

Hi all!

I'm trying to make a horizontal menu with vertical drop downs.. However, the dropdowns don't go where they're supposed to.
The menu is more or less at hybrid between a horizontal menu and a drop-down menu, so it's probably all more or less messed up

You can check out the site at:

The files are at:

Thanks for any input

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:

.chromestyle{
     width: 100%;
     font-weight: bold;
     float: left;
     height: 29px;
}

.chromestyle:after{ /*Add margin between menu and rest of content in Firefox*/
content: "."; 
display: block; 
height: 0; 
clear: both; 
visibility: hidden;
}

.chromestyle ul{
border: 0px solid #BBB;
width: 100%;
background: url(chromebg.gif) center center repeat-x; /*THEME CHANGE HERE*/
padding: 4px 0;
margin: 0;
text-align: right; /*set value to "left", "center", or "right"*/
}

HellO~! I'm current trying to code a website for someone, but I'm having some problems getting the menu to work properly in Firefox. It works great in Chrome and Safari but I have no idea how to make it work properly for firefox.

So basically, I have a drop line menu, but instead the sub links all showing up in the same spot when I hover, I want the sub links to show up under the link I'm hovering over. Now, I managed to get this working great by just changing the position of the sub ul and il hover to relative.

URL


But in Firefox, when you hover over a link, that link expands to the width of the sub navigation and pushes the other links to the right. It just looks terrible and I don't know how to fix this.

URL

I've tried searching for a solution, but no luck! I'd really appreciate if someone could enlighten me on how this could be fixed? Or if it's even possible? I'm still new to working with drop downs and would love the help!

Advance thanks for those who read this! Hopefully someone can help me out with this!

EDIT: Looks like my images wont show up after all . Hopefully you will all know what I mean.

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.

Here is the source for the above:

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.)

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.

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

The CSS and JS (uses jQuery) can be found he

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.

I had made a site with a pure CSS drop down menu (using hover). The problem is that it works fine in the various browsers... IE6, FF1.x, NS, Opera... But it doesn't work in IE7. Anyone know a work around for using the hover as a drop down with IE7? I can paste the code later (when I get back to where my site is) if needed.

Thanks for any input.

Hi I have the following script is from http://tiernok.com/tt/dropdown/styles/caffeine.css and
http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/ that I am trying to modify. It runs fine both in IE and Netscape
but look and feel is what I am trying to make it work. Here is the issue I am facing and have tried but couldn't figure it out

1. In IE when hovering over Services And Implementation there's too much gap between Services And Implementation and History1Histy1 as in FireFox it comes out fine but everything is overlapped. Want to have less gap between menu and sub-menu.

2. How can I increase the width for the menus and sub menus, as I want to fit everything in table width of 586.

Code:
