CSS - Navigation Width Not Setting Correctly - Will Paypal $10 To Fix..
Hi,
I'm trying to create horizontal navigation with drop-down menus using strictly CSS. I've followed the tutorial located at: http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/ but instead of having text for the main navigation, I'm using a transparent PNG and having text for strictly the drop-down section. To create the background of the navigation, I'm simply changing the background: property since the PNG images are transparent. My problem is that the navigation isn't lining up correctly. It's irratic. Each PNG has absolutely no white space in front of or after it, so it's not that. It simply isn't lining up how it should. I wanted it to be right next to each other and I could simply adjust the width inbetween each one with the margin: property, but I can't get it working. The page can be found he http://serve5.net/xcage/nav/ http://serve5.net/xcage/nav/css/xcage.css Could someone take a look at the source and CSS and try to tell me what I'm doing wrong? If it comes down to it, I'll even pay someone $10 via PayPal to fix the problem and create working code for me - in CSS. Thanks. Similar TutorialsI'm at the very very very begaining of a table-less design (my first, actually). The problem is, since I have decided to have a non-fixed width, when the browser is minimized, at a certain point the design breaks. See it here (please don't make fun! it's just the start): SiliconSatan.com/test.php I'd like to set a minimum width, probably on the container <div>, so at a certain point it sort of becomes like a fixed width? No smaller than a set width? [EDIT] Also, I have a question about background color mismatch, but it was not quite OT for the CSS forum: http://forums.devshed.com/web-desig...e7t-403266.html Ok so I have a logowrap layer which is at 100%. I have the actual logo set with 'float:right;' with a width of 900px. Now i have a layer just before that with float:left;, but i want to set the width with the remaining space, so all resolutions will render it the same way, whether it be a 1280*760 - or whatever. CSS: Code:
#logowrap {
width:100%;
background-color:#000000;
}
#logonavtext {
float:left;
color:#0099FF;
padding:2px;
}
#logonavtext ul {
list-style:none;
}
#logonavtext li {
display:inline;
margin-right:30px;
}
#logowrapimg {
float:right;
width:900px
}
HTML: Code:
<div id="logowrap">
<div id="logonavtext">
<ul>
<li>[ I ]</li>
<li>[ II ]</li>
<li>[ III ]</li>
<li>[ IV ]</li>
<li>[ V ]</li>
<li>[ VI ]</li>
<li>[ VII ]</li>
<li>[ VIII ]</li>
<li>[ IX ]</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="logowrapimg">
<?php
include('scripts/logorandom.php');
?>
</div>
<div class="clear">

Any help would be great. Of course If you have a better way, I would more then welcome it. Okay i have been working on this for a while now, and i hate asking for help.. but i have given up on it. Firstly i started using display:inline-block; which meant i could have a width so my hover over menu effect would work. But this did not work in IE7 which means it is useless to what i am doing. So i then moved onto Display:inline; This worked fine, in both IE and Firefox, but the width cannot be set with this value. This value just wraps itself around the content. But i need to set a width to the Inline value. Any help? CSS: Code: #navcontainer ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
}
#navcontainer ul li {
display: inline;
width: 65px;
height: 21px;
background: url("images/tabbg.gif") 0 0 no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
text-align:center;
}
#navcontainer ul li a{
display:inline;
width: 65px;
height: 21px;
background: url("images/tabbg.gif") 0 0 no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
}
#navcontainer ul li a:hover{
background-position: -65px 0;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
html: Code: <div id="navcontainer"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Milk</a></li> <li><a href="#">Eggs</a></li> <li><a href="#">Cheese</a></li> <li><a href="#">Vegetables</a></li> <li><a href="#">Fruit</a></li> </ul> </div> Also a link to the actual page is http://www.therow2.com/adsense/zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.php for some reason when i declare a div as "display: inline", the width is ignored. as soon as i take display: inline out, the width goes to what i set it to. Code: #jobs_list{
background-color: #ffe6c4;
padding: 5px;
clear: both;
overflow: auto;
width: 600px;
}
#jobs_list .heading{
width: 200px;
display: inline;
}
#jobs_list .title{
font-weight: bold;
text-align: left;
}
#jobs_list .company{
text-align: center;
}
#jobs_list .location{
text-align: right;
}
<div id="jobs_list">
<div class="heading title">Title</div>
<div class="heading company">Company</div>
<div class="heading location">location</div>
</div>
http://tonglebeak.ath.cx/boards/ In firefox, it renders as I expect it to: the caption is half the width of the table, and the caption is centered. In IE, however, it doesn't want to become half the width of the table. Hell, setting a px amount doesn't even affect it. What can be done to fix this in IE? I'm wondering what's the word is called for setting the image width and height in CSS Code:
img.test
{
<<What's the keyword??>>: 10 px;
}
Thanks, FletchSOD Hi 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>

Hope someone can help, Regards, Joe. Please delete... Hi All, I am building a site that has the following structure for the navigation; Code:

</ul>
</div>
The main LI is horizontal, and the containing UL, LI is a vertical dropdown. 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! Hi, I have hit the "wall" in my knowledge of CSS while trying to implement a "flex-width-equal-height-sidebar-layout" style of layout as a skin/theme for a message board system and need some help. My trouble occurs when a direct link to the post is used (instead of following the menu navigation system) where the top menu information/links area (the area between the banner and the post) is chopped off... The relevant portion of the CSS seems to be the .col_wrap {margin-top: 10px; border: 0; overflow: hidden; float: left; width: 100%; position: relative; z-index: 10; clear: both;} portion of my CSS because if I take out the overflow:hidden declaration then the menu portion of the skin/theme/layout shows correctly but the sidebar the shows the part which should be hidden at the bottom and the footer completely vanishes from view! My apologies but this is the best I can do without having the ability to post pics or urls which could better explain what is wrong and frankly speaking I don't know how anyone here can help given my inability to show the problem but hopefully someone knows or has run into this problem before or can offer some resources that may be of assistance.... i ve been playing with my page and been trying to modify the width of the page (divs) according to the browswer's width. The problem is i want the navigation menu on left to be fixed width (say 200px) and the center div and the right column to be variable width. Also, i want to set a minimum width , so that the floating divs dont roll below the navigation menu. here s the link to the page. try reducing ur browser windows size . the content div rolls down under theleft nav menu. http://ccc.1asphost.com/pacemakerpr...r/cicuitlab.htm Also , i get wierd result in netscape navigator. please help I have an absolutely positioned <div> containing a block of text. I have not specified a width for this <div>. This <div> is nested within another <div> for which I have specified a width of 200px. So something like: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> <div style="position: absolute; top: 10px; left: 20px; z-index: 100;"> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Curabitur eu purus a tellus mollis consequat. Phasellus aliquam sapien quis mauris. </div> </div> <div style="position: relative; width: 200px;"> Since the absolutely positioned <div> is not part of the page's normal flow, I would expect that its width would expand according to its contents (and the browser window's boundries). Instead, in Firefox only, the width of the absolutely positioned <div> expands only to the width of its parent - in this case 200px. Am I doing something wrong? or is there a workaround for this? I have seen a design which I find pretty interesting where in the main site is aligned left and fixed width at say 700px wide. Yet the footer seems to span the entire screen. The header also seems to use the entire screen width but that is beign accomplished with the background image, but this footer goes all the way to end of the screen and naturally adjusts itself under all the content. Is there a way to get this effect? Hello, (please also see attached/uploaded style sheet) I'm puzzled why (in the following code) the TEST #2 table renders as required (i.e. 2 rows in 1 column, all with the same cell WIDTH) but the table in TEST #1 seems to render the table cells (i.e. 2 columns in 1 row) without a common cell WIDTH. How can I get all the cells (there are plenty more!) in table TEST #1 to all be exactly the same width (preferably 85px)? Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://thinet/cgi-bin/thinetStyleSheet.css"> TEST #1 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td> <td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td> </tr> </table> <P> TEST #2 <table class="menu" border=1 CELLPADDING=2> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="Treats menu" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=82'>Treats</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="pinkButtons"><a title="New Starters, Leavers and Transfers" href='http://thinet/theread/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41'>Joiners etc.</a></td></tr> </table> I don't think I've quite grasped the idea of CSS yet?!?! Any help/pointers would be appreciated. Thanks, Andy Ok. Here's the problem: I have a asp.net 1.x datagrid inside a floated div and I want the datagrid to stretch the width of the div. This div is in the center of two other floated divs. Is there a way to make a table go 100% the width of its container div? Css code: Code:
/* left bar: */
#navBar{
width: 185px;
float: left;
}
/* right bar: */
#rightModulesContainer {
width: 130px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
float: right;
}
/* center content: */
#content{
padding: 0px 5px 0px 0px;
margin-top:0;
margin-bottom:0;
margin-left:4px;
margin-right:0px;
float: left;
text-align:left;
/*display: inline;*/
}
/* contained in #container: */
#dataGridContainer{
margin: 0;
padding-bottom: 10px;
min-width:360px;
}
.categoryGridStyle {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: normal;
color: #000000;
width:100%;
}
and here is the layout of the divs: Code: <div id="navBar">left navigation bar here (tree view)</div> <div id="rightModulesContainer">right side bar here</div> <div id="content"><div id="dataGridContainer">datagrid here</div></div> Thanks for your help in advance. I've been messing with this for a while - trying to get it to work cross browser is driving me nuts. I've tried placing the divs in containers and floating the containers, I've tried everything I can think of... I have a page with an ASP.NET Gridview on it...this Gridview is located in a child DIV inside a parent DIV. That Gridview can often go wider than the parent DIV width set. In IE6 the MAINDIV (Parent DIV) would expand to fit the expanded Gridview contained within the child DIV. In IE7 the DIV will not expand so it overlaps the DIV and looks bad. I want that MainDiv to dynamically grow with the child DIV width, like it did in IE6. Please see my code below. I want the MainDiv to remain ~800px unless it is pushed out further. Thanks for any ideas on a fix for this. Whenever I try min-width it just blows the parent DIV out to 100% screen size. Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
</head>
<body style="width:100%;text-align:center;background-color:#68838B" onload="loadpage();">
<form id="frmMain" runat="server">
<div id="mainDiv" style="position:relative;top:10px;width:800px;height:auto; background-color:white;border:solid 1px #666666">
<div id="contentDiv" style="text-align:left;width:797px; padding:3px 3px 3px 3px;">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="contentBody" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I have a header div with a background image - it's basically a pair of hands holding a banner - the arms extending to the sides of the window. I'm trying to work it so that, no matter how wide or thin the window, the arms will always extend to the sides. So when you make it smaller, the image will disappear beyond the viewing window. This happens automatically on the right-hand side, but the image is stopping it on the left. Is there a way to set a min-width, which is smaller then the image itself, so that when the window is shrunk the image starts to disappear on either side until it reaches the min-width? I'm trying to get it so the arms will disappear and stop at the hands. Or can anyone suggest an alternative solution? I tried to do it with background and header image, with the arms on the background, so when the top image moves it looks like the arms move with it. That worked great until I started using a patterned background. Full width: |---------------------------------------| |AAAAAAAAHHH BBBBBBBBBBBBBB HHHAAAAAAAAA| |---------------------------------------| Shrunk width: ------- |------------------------| -------- AAAAAAA |AHHH BBBBBBBBBBBBBB HHHA| AAAAAAAA ------- |------------------------| -------- Grey bit outside window edge. | Window side A Arms H Hands B Banner I hope that makes sense. I expect there's an easy solution but I've been trying to figure it out for several hours and could do with someone else's perspective. Thanks. Hello All!

Thanks for any help with this. I am new to code :P I'm writing a modification for a bulletin board. One of the beta testers had a problem with their template... My modification uses a left & right float, with a clearing div at the bottom with a copy right. I know the problem, but my question is, why is it a problem: width="75%" will sometimes, in certain templates, make the right floating table drop down beneath the left floating menu, and it's width is 100%. When I change it to inline styling, style="width: 75%;", it works as it should. I'd really like to know why it's doing this, because I've never ran into this before. Here's a slimmed version of the HTML/CSS: Code: <div id="st0re_wrapper" style="float: left; width: 24%; clear: both;"> <table class="borderwrap iptable" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="2" width="100%"> <tr> <td colspan="" class="maintitle"><p>Your Menu</p></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding-left: 5px;" valign="middle"> <div style="margin-left: 5px;"> Sample menu item. </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <table class="borderwrap iptable" style="float: right;" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="2" width="75%"> <tr> <td colspan="" class="maintitle"><p>Sample</p></td> </tr> <tr class="row2"> <td valign="top" width="100%"> Sample content. </td> </tr> </table> The used CSS classes a Code:
.ipbtable
{
width: 100%;
}

st0re_wrapper is just an unused id, besides the inline styling. Internet Explorer always presents me with a challenge (partial repost). The current issue involves emulating max-width in IE using the technique described by Svend Tofte. http://www.svendtofte.com/code/max_width_in_ie/ The CSS code uses JavaScript expressions and feeds the browser's width to the style. The CSS code follows. * html #Content { height: 1%; width:expression( document.body.clientWidth > (500/12) * parseInt(document.body.currentStyle.fontSize)? "30em": "auto" ); } This implementation resizes and displays the fluid width in IE. But it does not emulate the max-width property. Basically, I need help fixing the max-width implementation on #Content. Since max-width remains a challenge in IE, the min-width remains a greater mystery. Min-width would be nice as well. The page is complex with several wrappers for other IE display issues and JavaScript functionality. Presently, these workarounds and hacks have my head spinning. The page has an overall wrapper #Container. #Content div has the max-width expression. It encases #div.bgWh, so the page could have true transparent round corners. One issue relates to how div.bgWh expands beyond #Content when the client's browser width approaches 260 pixels. These containers serve a purpose; but IE does not deal with their width in a predictable manner. Fortunately, Firefox does not have these issues. These scenarios leave me scratching my head more often than not. Overflow hidden property has worked for me in the past, but did not provide the magic bullet this time around. Please load the page and shrink you browser to around 260 pixels. Keep your eye on the round corners around the main content area. The container, div.bgWh, expands beyond #Content. Please let me know if you see any relevant patterns and if you have any useful suggestions on implementing max-width. Somebody may suggest better approaches to the IE max-width conundrum. http://neville.f2o.org/nifty_TEMP1.html Styles in Question #Content div.bgWh #Container |
