id like to change the green....but cant figure out how

Hello,

I'm new to this forum, so first, hello! Actually, I'm new to web design in general but have taken on the role at the church I work at because our old site was a mess. I downloaded some nice looking templates and have been using them as a foundation. The site is www.miamibc.com. If you go there and look at the header menu (home, about us, etc), I want to consolidate that menu some and add a drop down menu with more choices. Is there a way I can do this while keeping it looking the way it does now? If you need any more info from me, let me know. Thanks for your help!

Hi all,

I have a select box in an html form which simply doesn't appear in ie6. I dont know what is relevant to this problem, but loosely, the layout is as follows:

<div id="content">
<form>
<p class="label"><label for="allocation">Label</label></p>
<p class="input"><select name="allocation" id="allocation">
<option value="0">option1</option>
...
</select>
<div class="clear"></div>
</form>
</div>

the label paragraph is floated left and input floated right, clear simply clears the floats. Other things in the form include tinyMCE textareas and textboxes. The submit button has an onclick handler that validates before returning true or false for php to put values into a mysql database.

Everything else works fine but the select box is simply not there in ie6.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,
Conrad

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

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.

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!

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>

So for a while a have been trying very hard to create a dropdown menu for my navigation bar. I have searched the web long and hard for this and found little valuable information. I have a four link graphical navigation bar made from image sprites (see this tutorial) and have been trying to make a dropdown bar for just the second link. I know a bit of html/css but very little javascript which if I understand what I read from google, thats what I will need. Can anyone help please?

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.

I had a program automatically generate code for me for a dropdown menu, but whenever I place the code into iWeb the HTML snippet just makes a blank box.

Can anyone give me a hand?

Here's the code:
