HTML - Adding Another Dropdown Ul

Hey!

What's the easiet way to create a link, and when it's pressed a little login form dropsdown from the link?

Cheers / DiNozzo

I've been working on a dropdown menu using html tables, css and javascript, but it seems to fail in Firefox. When I hover the button the first time it's like it should be, however, when I hover it the second time the dropdown menu
actually comes next to the button instead of below it.

It's hard to explain, so I've uploaded it to http://darkool.nl/table.php

This picture also explains what happens in Firefox:


It works fine in other browsers (IE, Opera and Safari)

Code:

<script>
function showMenu(num) {
	for (var count = 1; id = document.getElementById("show"+num+"."+count); ++count) {
		id.style.display = "block";
	}
}
function hideMenu(num) {
	for (var count = 1; id = document.getElementById("show"+num+"."+count); ++count) {
		id.style.display = "none";
	}
}
</script>
<style>
* {
	margin: none;
	padding: none;
}
tr {
	vertical-align: top;
}
td.menu0 {
	border: 1px solid black;
	display: none;
}
td.menu1 {
	border: 1px solid black;
	display: block;
}
</style>

<table onMouseOver='showMenu(0)' onMouseOut='hideMenu(0)' id='menu0' class='menu' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>
<tr><td id='show' class='menu1'>Over ons</td></tr>
<tr><td id='show0.1' class='menu0'>Informatie</td></tr>
<tr><td id='show0.2' class='menu0'>Biografie</td></tr>
</table>

I recently changed my navigation links from js to html and css based links but have a few problems with the layout, I wonder if you anyone can help?

http://www.for-rent-nerja.co.uk/

If you rollover the 'For Rent' dropdown do you notice how the dropdown is appearing under my sidebar! Is there any way to repair that?

It is running from http://www.for-rent-nerja.co.uk/nav_menu/style.css

I am also having problems stretching the width of the links to fit my 950px width, they seem to break apart after about 140px individually!

hey

I'm new at the forum here and kinda need some help with a multi level drop down menu for my website.
there shall be 2 boxes where in the first one you can choose your Zipcode and then a box below to choose the city you are living in.
first time working with html and I'm not sure if it can be made be that, and i was thinking i could get some help with that for some one in here.

let me know if it's not understandable^^

^^thanks for the help^^

I'm aware that the menu in my site can get too-big to display properly at low to medium resolutions and/or browser windows that aren't maximized, so after considering a couple of possible solutions i figured i'd fix it by putting everything into five general categories, two of which would have subcategories (and some of the subcategories would have subsubcategories, and that's as far as it goes). So...

...I'm looking for a code to turn my menu into a dropdown one. Now, as far as i'm concerned there are three types of dropdown menus, two of which i don't like and thus don't want. Google only returns results for one type, which, true to Murphy's law, is one of the two i don't want.

Example of the one i want: the one on the top menu on this site ("HOME", "TUTORIAL", "FORUM", "QUICK LIST") (with possibility of images and that kind of stuff)

Example of the one i don't want that Google returns: the kind on this site (default computer type)

Example of the one i don't want that Google doesn't return: the kind that appears when you click on "Search", "KotV Roster" or any of those links on this site (forum type)

I tried to copy the relevant code on the first page i linked to, but either i didn't copy all that's relevant or i'm doing something wrong with it. I considered both possibilities and tried to fix things, but all failed. So how do i do it?

Here's a rough picture of exactly what i want: click. I hope the notes and pictures are enough, but if something is unclear please ask away. Sorry for the weird font, but i didn't pay much attention to how the whole thing looked; it's just a quick sketch i made in two minutes.

Thanks in advance.

Any assistance that can be provided is greatly appreciated.

I am unable to get my dropdown menu to drop in front of my left column. I have copied the css and the html below. I am not sure if there is something wrong with the HTML or the css so please let me know if I need to post this to a CSS thread.

Thank you for any help provided.

I'm sure this has been done before, but unfortunately im under the pump somewhat!

How do I get a drop down menu to post things to a textarea in html? As in when I select an item from a drop down menu how do i get this selection to show relevant information in a text area below..

TruskyMX

Please help Im sure there is post already just haven't looked yet.

Hi,
I have a menu that lets me select from multiple options, and I want that any option that I choose will lead me to another website, after that I click the submit button.
How I do this?

Code:

<form action="" method="post">

<select name="Dropdown Menu" id="menu">
<option selected>Select</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>

<input type="submit" value="" id="button">
</form>

Thanks,
Steve

Reference:

http://www.skinquotient.com

This is a shopping cart using OSCommerce. In the left hand column, you will notice that the second item from the top is a drop down menu titled "Shop by Concern".

The length of some of the value in the shop by concern drop down menu are wider than the width of the left column.

In firefox, when you open the menu, the menu itself expands wider then the width of the column so life is good.

Of course, IE likes to make your life difficult, so in IE the menu values are truncated to fit the column width.

I don't want to make that left column wider - I want to leave as much room as possible in the main body for content. My preferred solution would be to somehow make that menu expand in IE like it does in firefox, however I don't know if this is possible.

Ideas are welcome!

I'd like to be able to transform this menu into a drop down menu. I tried different things and read guides but I cant seem to understand. I'll be really happy if someone could tell me what I need into the css part

I am trying to implement a CSS dropdown menu into my site. I have it put in and positioned properly but when I hover over the links the menu doesn't drop. I have checked z-index's but other than that I am lost. I attached just the menu and the menu in the site.
