CSS - Help With Floating Menu
I saw this appealing menu from a css contest page and i've studied the code over and over again but i can't seem to get the same effect as this person has done. He has created a menu that just floats while the screen is able to scroll up and down.
the site is : http://contest.prestontalk.com/index/FluidFixed/0/4/1/ if anyone knows how this effect is done, let me know. thanks! Similar Tutorialshey I am trying to get this sub menu floating on the rollover of a list item. Here's my HTML: Code: <body> <div id="banner"> </div> <div id="leftmenu"> <ul> <li>List 1</li> <li><a href="">List 2</a></li> <li><a href="">List 3</a> <ul> <li><a href="">List 3.1</a></li> <li><a href="">List 3.2</a></li> <li><a href="">List 3.3</a></li> <li><a href="">List 3.4</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="">List 4</a></li> <li><a href="">List 5</a></li> <li><a href="">List 6</a></li> <li><a href="">List 7</a></li> <li><a href="">List 8</a></li> <li><a href="">List 9</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="maincontent"> CONTENT </div> </body> and this CSS: Code: #leftmenu { position: absolute; margin: 0px; top: 120px; left: 0px; width: 147px; height: 800px; background-color: #cccc66; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; } ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; } ul li { color: #FFFFFF; display: block; background-color: #FF0000; margin-bottom: 1px; text-align: right; font-weight: bold; } ul li a { text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF; } ul li a:hover { color: #000000; } ul li ul { display: none; position: absolute; top: 200px; left: 100px; } #maincontent { position: absolute; z-index: 0; left: 147px; top: 120px; height: 381px; width: 100%; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 10px; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px; background-color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; } so yeah, I am struggling at this point, I have looked at a reference that someone gave me last time I brought up the issue, but can't get it working, if you can spot why, help would be appreciated, not having much luck, thinking maybe a syntax thing(?), not sure...HELP!! kr. Hi All, I have a site PHP Code: hopevalleycamp.com which features a three box floating menu over a single background image. The menu "works" in Firefox and Safari, but not in IE8. I'm not sure if there is a"fix" I can apply for IE or not. The code for the menu css can be viewed here...

I want to create a menu that will float on the side of my page and stay in the same position on the screen as the user scrolls down. Is this done with CSS, Javascipt, or a little bit of both? thanks. I have seen this done but can't find any examples at the moment, but what I am looking to emmulate is have a page that required vertical scrolling. On either the left or right hand side is (for example) a square image and directly below it is a menu. When the user scrolls down the page the image goes off the top but the menu sticks to the top so is always visable. When the user scrolls back up as soon as the image starts to appear it pushes the menu back down so it is sat below the image. If i used position:fixed I can keep the menu in the same place when scrolling but I would like it to rise to the top of the browser when space is availble when scrolling. Make sense? See the image at http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x205/vitainf/IEhelp.png - having trouble to get it showing the image with the bbcodes :S As you can see the menu to the right, which is known as '.sidebar' in the css followed below, is sort of pushing the main content, which is known as .content in the css below, down. Anyone has any idea how to fix this? Style Sheets Code: body { text-align: center; background: #800000; color: #fff; } * { padding: 0; margin: 0; } div#container { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 700px; text-align: left; } #spacer { height: 50px; } #header { height: 100px; width: 100%; background: url(ctfiles/logo.png) no-repeat top center #000; } #container { background: #fff; padding: 10px; } #main { background: #000; color: #fff; width: 700px; } .sidebar { float: right; text-align: right; background: #000; color: #fff; width: 30%; padding-left: 8px padding-right: 12px } .content { color: #fff; background: #000; width: 70%; margin-left: 2px; margin-right: 2px } HTML/Template/PHP w/e Note: It's a template for the MODx CMS, which explains some of the calls like [(site_name)]. The lorum ipsum is in the [*content*] call, the menu in the [[wayfinder...]] one.

But, this has always bugged me and I need to understand what is going on... I think it's a question of Floating. This is in reference to http://www.arabellamusic.co.uk I want the blog posts to be on the left, and some other content on the right. How is the best way to go about doing this? You can check my source, but this was my thinking: Code: HTML <div class='inner'> <div class='left'> BLOG PHP HERE </div> <div class='right'> SOME OTHER STUFF HERE </div> </div> And the CSS: .inner { width:788px; } .left { float:left; width:50%; } .right { float:left; width:50%; } If you grab my stylesheet and my source, you will see that I have a couple more things in there, but I don't think they could be affecting the rest (text-align etc...) So, am I doing this wrong? I have floated columns in other websites this way and it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Incidentally, once it would only work when I set 49% to each, I was assuming this was something to do with the box model I read about, but wasn't too sure. I will try not to play around with the site too much until I get a reply or two, but a few things may jump around as I try stuff! Thanks in advance... James hi, i am a total newbie with css and trying to create a floating divider. an example can be seen at www.payjunction.com. does anyone know a tutorial on how to create one? thanks for the help in advance Learning CSS and trying to emulate the following table: Code: |--------------------------------------| | Text 1 |----------------| | | Text 2 | Inner box text| | | Text 3 |----------------| | |--------------------------------------| I can get a nested div to work vertically but not horizontally. I'm trying: Code: div#container { float: left } div#title { float: right } <div id="container"> hello<br>hello <div id="title"> Text 1<br /> Text 2 </div> </div> Which is producing: Code: |--------------------------------------| | Hello | | Hello | | |----------------| | | | Text 1 | | | | Text 2 | | | |----------------| | |--------------------------------------| Perhaps a positioning thing which I don't understand yet? It's not homework so you don't have to do it for me, but rather you could just point to knowledge sources.... Tx! Hi, Can someone help me with why the following header bar doesn't work in Firefox? It just shows the very top of the bar with the two other divs inside of it. Code: <div class="cmsHeader"> <div style="float: left;">Page Name</div> <div style="float: right;"><a href="" title='Add Page'><img src='images/icons/file_(add)_16x16.gif' border='0' alt='Add Page'></a></div> </div> .cmsHeader{ background: #809096; padding: 5px; width: 98%; color: #FFFFFF; } .cmsHeader a{ color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } .cmsHeader a:hover{ text-decoration: underline; } I currently have the following layout Code: <table> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> </table> how do i go about making the same layout but using CSS. Each <td> is 50% wide I have 3 tables in a div. I have two of the tables one on top of the other. I wanted to place the third table to the left of the bottom table. So I placed the second table relative and left -50px. I placed the third with position absolute, top -70px and float right to achieve this layout. Is there a better way of doing this out of curiousity? Please look at this page in FF http://www.roadhousecamper.com/camper.asp?rv=17 Notice div with the red background and the thumbnails? It should float to the right of the large image but is does not. It does though in IE7? Thanks for any help. T I have a 4 column div layout using floats. When I resize the browser the text in the columns goes outside of the div, and over everything below it. Is there any way to insure that as the browser is resized the text will stay inside it's div?
