HTML - Limiting Menus

Hi,

I use the following HTML for a horizontal navbar:

<div align="center">
<p class="navbar" align="center"> |
<a class="navbar" href="index.html">Home</a> |
<a class="navbar" href="events.htm">Events</a> |
<a class="navbar" href="testimonies.htm">Testimonies</a> |
<a class="navbar" href="about.htm">About Us</a> |
<a class="navbar" href="contact.htm">Contact</a> |
</p>
</div>

with this in the style sheet

.navbar {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration:none;
color: #ffffff;
background-color:#993300
}
a.navbar:active {
color: #ff00ff;
}

a.navbar:visited {
color: #ffffff;
}
a.navbar:link {
color: #ffffff;
}

a.navbar:hover {
color: #993300;
background-color: #ffffff;
}

But inspecting the code for various web sites it seems that people use the list tag <li>for horizontal menus. However as I can’t see the relevant CSS I don’t understand how it works, and I'm fairly new to CSS anyway (& I got this code from a manual).

Should I be using list tags and how does it link with the style sheet?

If so, can anyone explain what the code should be or point me to a good tutorial on the topic.

Thanks

I have a form with 3 drop down menus on the same line.
The way I would like it to work is as follows:
if I choose for example element 3 on the first menu then the 2nd menu shows only the options of the element in menu 1.

How can I do this?

Thnks

Hello,

I have started working for a company, and with little experiance i am gradually tecaching myself how to HTML in ordwer to update our website.

I've got to the point where i need some help. So please if you could help me in the most basic language that would be great.

How can i create a drop down menu or navagation bar. vertically

The website in question is www.hyspeedbroadband.com

I would also like it to stay in the same style as it already is.

As a little side question also. I changed the navagation bars position, now when you click on different pages the navagation bar does not underline which page you are on. If I could have some assisstance on how that can be corrected that would be great to.

Thank you for any help and replys

Hi. I'm over my head. A friend's web person had an emergency, so he asked me to take over and finish his site, which had JQuery Menus. Finally, everything tested okay on MY computer, so I uploaded it. It looks okay on Firefox, but there's a big problem with IE on OTHER computers. Instead of staying in place, the menus wrap to the center and look like a vertical OL in ordinary text.

The URL is http://www.trquinn.com. I feel terrible because I've made a mess of his site; any help would be sincerely appreciated.

I am a asp.net developer and I have a customer which needs a page written in stictly html. I am not that familar with html anymore, so please bare with me.

Last time I did html and used vertical menus, every page had to duplicate the menu code, instead of calling a page or control which holds the menus. Is there a way to have a inbedded html page (which is the page that hold the menus) in all the pages. This way, when I want to add a new menui tem. I don't have modify everypage, I can modify just the menu page. Is this possible in html without using frames?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Brandon

This is the code that works than I'm trying to use.. It is a horizontal css popup menu.

Code:

HTML

<div id="menu"> 
<ul id="item1"> 
<li class="top">menu item</li> 
<li class="item"><a href="#">menu item 1</a></li> 
<li class="item"><a href="#">menu item 2</a></li> 
<li class="item"><a href="#">menu item 3</a></li> 
</ul> 
</div>

CSS

#menu ul .item{display:none;}
#menu ul:hover .item{display:block;}
#menu{position:absolute;}

My listing categories/hierarchy is controlled by word press so I can't really control that. I would like to know if I can modify the css to get this working. I'm trying to get the 'children' Appearance category to pop up under Automotive. Here is my NON working code:

Code:

HTML

<div id="dropmenu">
<ul>	
<li class="cat-item cat-item-3"><a href="http://www.diysrc.com/category/automotive/" title="View all posts filed under Automotive">Automotive</a>
<ul class='children'>
<li class="cat-item cat-item-7"><a href="http://www.diysrc.com/category/automotive/appearance/" title="View all posts filed under Appearance">Appearance</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="cat-item cat-item-14"><a href="http://www.diysrc.com/category/featured-articles/" title="View all posts filed under Featured Articles">Featured Articles</a>
</li>
<li class="cat-item cat-item-1"><a href="http://www.diysrc.com/category/uncategorized/" title="View all posts filed under Uncategorized">Uncategorized</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

CSS

#dropmenu ul .children{display:none;}
#dropmenu ul:hover .children{display:block;}
#dropmenu{position:inline;}

Ok, I've managed to get my drop down menu relatively sorted. The final version will have significantly more options, but for editing purposes each only has 2 options right now.

With my limited HTML knowledge, I've managed to get all the boxes lined up left, and in the right order and the such, but there are still a few things I would like this menu to do before it is finished, and I have no idea how to do them. Hopefully someone can help

This is what I have at the moment:

Quote:
<html>
<body>
<div align="left">
<select name="QB">
<option value="QB">Player A - 80</option>
<option value="QB">Player B - 65</option>
</select>
<select name="RB1">
<option value="RB1">Player C - 64</option>
<option value="RB1">Player D - 42</option>
</select>
<select name="RB2">
<option value="RB2">Player C - 64</option>
<option value="RB2">Player D - 42</option>
</select>
<select name="WR1">
<option value="WR1">Player E - 35</option>
<option value="WR1">Player F - 32</option>
</select>
<select name="WR2">
<option value="WR2">Player E - 35</option>
<option value="WR2">Player F - 32</option>
</select>
<select name="TE">
<option value="TE">Player G - 37</option>
<option value="TE">Player H - 29</option>
</select>
<select name="K">
<option value="K">Player I - 20</option>
<option value="K">Player J - 18</option>
</select>
<select name="DST">
<option value="DST">Team A - 35</option>
<option value="DST">Team B - 33</option>
</select>
</div>
</body>
</html>
That does what I want, could be hideously wordy and untidy in the code, idk, but it works lol

What I would like instruction on are the folloing steps if possible:

1) I would like a small box to the left of each drop down menu that remains the same. For example, I'd like a box that says "QB" then to the right of it immediately is the QB drop down menu. A bit like <TH> function works on a table I believe? I just have no idea how to put it into the code so it doesn't throw it all over the place

2) Some positions, like the RB and WR, have 2 positions. However, both drop down box player lists will be the same. Is there any way to stop WR1 and WR2 from being the same player? A player can't be used more than once, so is there a way to make sure the player in each box is never the same?

3) As you can see, each player has a value. At the moment, the player and the value are one constant line of text "Player A - 80". What I'd really like is for this to be split, so that a running team unit total can be kept at the bottom. That way a user will be able to see the total unit value of their team, and it will alter as they alter their line up. I'm sure the player value somehow needs to be its own specific bit of code for this to happen, it can't be coupled with a players name, but I've no idea how to do this either.

I really hope someone can help me out here, would be of great use to me. All I need are some pointers and I'll try and work my way through it as best I can.

Thanks, you guys are great

I'm trying to incorporate drop down menus into a template to clean things up a bit but I can't figure out how. Here's the code:

Hello all,

I need some help coding link menus. These are menus that pop up to the side of links to show additional links.

See this page for what i am looking to achieve.

I want a side menu to show up off of my "Media" link that has link options for Photos, AIM Icons, Riot Act, Submit a Picture, and anything else i need a link option for.

Here is my current code for my link menu to the left:

Also, for the Submit a Picture page. How would i go about adding some type of form system that submits a picture to an email account?

Thanks!

First off, I have designed one site ever and it's still in progress. I also have no basis in computer training other than graphic design. I am a total beginner, but the site I'm designing is for my personal business, so I'm continually updating it with new features I like.

I was hoping to use hover menus (I have no idea if that is the technically correct term, but when you put your mouse over a link, it gives you a drop down menu) on my site, but really have no clue how to do that. Is it possible in HTML or would I have to use javascript or flash? If so how would I incorporate the code into a generally HTML based site?

Thanks! :-)

Hi,

Is there any way to make the "standard" pull down menu that is predefined in html (the pull down form that front page provides) function with links to different pages WITHOUT USING JAVASCRIPT. I am using sharepoint that has security that blocks links that use scripting. Or, is there any way to use this pull down menu with javascript in sharepoint without a popup blocker interviening?

Any help or suggestions much appreciated. thanks,

joe sal

Hello all!
I want to have a page with multiple drop-down menus. The user will select for example "type of car" and a drop-down menu of 3-4 colors will appear... And then, if the user selects one of these colors, another drop-down menu will appear with the available brands of cars for the respective colour...
Can you give me hints on how to start?

This is what I'm trying to do.... I have mouseovers set up for the navigation bar and I now want to add a drop down menu to one of the navigation images. I searched the internet and tried fireworks and I couldn't find a solution that worked for me. I can get a regular drop down menu to work but I can't get one to work with a rollover image. I want to set it up like nvidia.com. Does anyone have a solution to my problem?
