CSS - Navigation Line

Greetings,

I have a class called "header" and I am trying to give it a touch of extra space between it and the next line.

All of my headers are just a few words and thus on one line. I tried placing "line-height: 1.5em" in my "header" class and it shows up correctly in Dreamweaver but not in IE. My thought is, because it is only a single line, that class value does not kick in because there is no second line for that class.

Is there a way to conrol this in CSS or am I going to have to resort to using a....gulp.....spacer?

Thanks in advance!

I've got two lines of text. Want the spacing the two lines to increase, so I set a line-height. When I do this, not only does it increase space between the two lines, it also increases spacing above the first line (and maybe below the second). How can I increase spacing between the two lines only, without increasing above and below? Thanks!

I have a nice little vertical navigation block that I would like to use in multiple pages within the same website. I would like to use the nav block without repeating the code, but I can't figure out how to do it. I have put the code in navigation.htm. What do I do next?

Hey guys I am currently having an issue with a CSS Navigation. I was wondering if anyone was available to help me out.

http://schoolwide.sgajewski.com/menu/

I am currently having an issue with IE 7. It seems to be working in every other browser but the second level of the navigation is offset lower in IE7. The spacing starts off 1 pixel two low and progressively the gap gets wider.

Code:

ul.vertical, ul.vertical li {
	margin:0;
	padding:0;
	list-style-type:none;
	font-size:100%;
	}

ul.vertical {
	position:absolute;
	z-index:1000;
	cursor:default;
	width:180px;
	left:1em;
	top:4.05em;
	}

ul.vertical li {
	position:relative;
	text-align:left;
	cursor:pointer;
	cursor:hand;
	width:180px;
	margin:-1px 0 0 0;
	padding-bottom:0px!important;
	padding-bottom:1px;
	float:left;
	clear:both;
	top:0;
	left:0;
	}

ul.vertical ul {
	z-index:1020;
	cursor:default;
	position:absolute;
	width:197px;
	margin:0 0 0 179px;
	top:-100em;
	left:-1px;
	padding:1px 0 0 0;
	height:0px;
	overflow:hidden;
	}
	
ul.vertical ul li {
	width:197px;
	
	}

ul.vertical ul ul {
	margin: 0 0 0 179px;
	}

@media Screen, Projection { 
	ul.vertical li:hover > ul { top:0; height:auto; overflow:visible; }
	}

ul.vertical a, ul.vertical a:visited {
	display:block;
	cursor:pointer;
	cursor:hand;
	background:url(images/bg.jpg);
	padding:5px 7px;
	font:normal normal bold 0.7em tahoma, verdana, sans-serif;
	color:#008000;
	text-decoration:none;
	letter-spacing:1px;
	}
	
ul.vertical a:hover, ul.vertical a:focus, ul.vertical a.rollover, ul.vertical a.rollover:visited {
	background:url(images/bg_over.jpg);
	color:#806020;
	}

ul.vertical .outtop {background:url(images/bg_over_top.jpg);}
ul.vertical .outbg {background:url(images/bg_over_mid.jpg);}
ul.vertical .outbot {background:url(images/bg_over_bot.jpg);}

ul.vertical ul a,
ul.vertical ul a:hover,
ul.vertical ul a:visited,
ul.vertical ul a:active
ul.vertical ul a:hover, 
ul.vertical ul a:focus, 
ul.vertical ul a.rollover, 
ul.vertical ul a.rollover:visited

{
background-image:none;
}

@media screen, projection {
	* html ul.vertical li {
		display:inline; 
		f\loat:left; 
		background:#ffffff; 
		}
	}
* html ul.vertical li { position:static; }
* html ul.vertical a { position:relative; }
ul[class^="vertical"] ul { display:none; }
ul[class^="vertical"] ul { displa\y:block; }

Any help on why this is offset in IE7 would be great. Thanks in advance.

How is this navigation done on the top of the page? I looked at the CSS and all the javascript. I can't see how the drop down is created? I tried to replicate it and copied the background images. I can get the menu to show and rollovers work. Just the drop down won't work. http://jmadvertising.com/

Hello,

I'm new to the forum and not very good with CSS yet. I'm slowly moving from tables to CSS. I set up a sample page to describe the problem I'm having but the forum won't allow me to post the URL here.

I have a vertical CSS "LI" navigation section in the left hand sidebar of this web page and it works perfectly in every Mac browser I try it on (very latest Mac versions of Opera, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Camino, Omniweb, etc.). There's a white, 1-pixel horizontal spacer/separator line between each link in the left sidebar which is supposed to be 220 pixels wide. It is 220 pixels wide on all the Mac browsers I try it on but for some reason, as soon as I try the web page in IE 7 or IE 8, the white horizontal 1-pixel divider line is shorter and ends up being only 195 pixels wide and throws the whole, nice and "even" look off. I don't understand where the 25 pixels are disappearing to in IE 7 and IE 8.

Can anyone offer any insight as to what the fix may be or what I've done wrong? Below is the code I've used to create the navigation.

Thanks so much.

HTML Code:

Code:

<div id="navcontainer">
	<ul id="navlist">
		<li id="active"><a href="#" id="current">Home</A></li>
		<li><a href="#">On To Page 2</A></li>
		<li><a href="#">On To Page 3</A></li>
		<li><a href="#">On To Page 4</A></li>
		<li><a href="#">On To Page 5</A></li>
	</ul>
</div>

CSS Code:

Code:

#navlist  {
	padding-left: 25px;
	margin-left: 0;
	width: 220px;
}
#navlist li  {
	list-style: none;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0.25em;
	border-top: 1px solid white;
}
#navlist li a  {
	background: transparent url(../images/list_off.gif) left center no-repeat;
	padding-left: 15px;
	text-align: left;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
	font-size: 12px;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #277eb1;
	text-decoration: none;
	line-height: 30px;
}
#navcontainer ul li a:hover  {
	background: transparent url(../images/list_on.gif) left center no-repeat;
	color: #da251c;
}
#navcontainer ul li a#current  {
	background: transparent url(../images/list_active.gif) left center no-repeat;
	color: #999999;
}

Hello.

So I'm trying to make my html more semantic, so I'm trying to avoid divs and spans as much as possible. I'm trying to make an unordered list navigation, but it shows up really choppy in IE7. However, the moment I change it from <ul id="navigation"> to <div id="navigation">, it works perfectly. Just for semantics sake I'd like to see if I could keep the ul working. Here's the html code, it validates xhtml strict so you don't have to worry about that.

Code:

I have not finished styling the rest of the page, I am only concerned with the navigation right now.

I appreciate your time and effort!

hi, i was wondering if anyone knw any links to ultra super dooper cool websites for css navigations.

I want to learn how to do ace ones. I have already googleed about, I found the sliding doors on ALA an stuff but i need that little bit more cool

tutorials prefrably!!

I did find one cool one athttp://www.bulkherbstore.com/

thanks
tom.

I'm pretty new to CSS, but I've managed to put together a website based from a psd, that validates and everything has gone well.

My menu, however, is pretty shoddy. I have everything positioned the way I want it, but what I want to do is convert the lists inside from dropping down to being horizontal parallell to the nav bar itself.

From:
--- --- --- ---
|
|
To:
_ _ _
--- --- --- ---



The site is here. Ignore the issues with the absolute positioning; its because of the ads at the top, and it doesn't affect the nav bar.


I am desperatefor some help, it is ridiculous to figure out. Anyone who can help me, I would be crazy grateful. Thanks,

Tom

Hi,

Ive been using images for the navigation but really should be using css so have tried to code it but am having a few problems.

If you look at this page you will see how the navigation should look, then if you look at this page you will see my css attempt, i'm only doing the sub nav (#navigation2) for now...

Any ideas where im going wrong?

Thanks, Mike

I have customised an open source wordpress template for my website and somewhere along the line seem to have broken the navigation as it appears in IE6,7,8. I use a mac so I didn't identify the problem straight away and I'm not sure how to fix it. I can work my way around CSS usually but I find navigation very difficult to grasp and so any help would be very much appreciated.

Problem:
The child items of the navigation (drop downs) are appearing under the slideshow so you can't click on them.

Thanks again in advance for any help you may be able to give!

I've created navigation buttons in Photoshop by making an 818px wide document, spacing out the words, then slicing them up. My navigation division is 818px wide but when I insert the buttons I created, they don't fit. I do not have any borders around them that I can tell.

Why would this happen?

::EDIT:: -- Problem solved! Thanks for informing me about those two validating websites... Turns out all I needed to do was apply "display:inline-block;" to my 'a' element... I knew it was a simple fix!

I'm sure I will be here again for more problems needing solving

I have a navigation bar similar to the one on this site. I want whatever current button that is clicked on to be a different color just like the site I linked.

I thought this was done using the a:active tag but it doesn't seem to be working. It quickly changes back to whatever the default a tag specifies.

Is there a trick to this?

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys
I have a page I am working on and I am running into a little problem. I created a navigation bar using css and now I want to link up the navigation bar. The problem is when I link it it turns it to a blue hyperlink. I know I can change the css to get rid of that, but I also want part of the page to look like and be set up like a regular blue hyperlink. How can I get around this. Here is the page I am working on
(URL address blocked: See forum rules)
I want the positive and negative tests to be normal hyperlinks but I want the nav bar to stay in the css I set up
thanks for the help
Sean
