On this site, if I inspect "What We Do", I see the HTML code:
<a title="What we do – Mad Hat Media" href="http://test.doig.com.au/MHM/services/" class="sf-with-ul">What We Do<span class="sf-sub-indicator"> »</span></a>
with CSS code:
.menu li a .sf-sub-indicator, .menu li li a .sf-sub-indicator, .menu li li li a .sf-sub-indicator {
background: none;
content: '»';
color: #622C82;
}
I can't see why the content: '»' does not display. The CSS element has a width and a colour.
What is missing are the drop down indicators (indicated by the green arrows in the screen shot below)
Help appreciated.
I guess you should have a look at this class
.menu li a .sf-sub-indicator,
.menu li li a .sf-sub-indicator,
.menu li li li a .sf-sub-indicator {
background: url(images/arrow-down.png) no-repeat;
height: 16px;
position: absolute;
right: 5px;
text-indent: -9999px;
top: 13px;
width: 16px;
}
the text-indent property causes the >> to go AWOL. Remove that and you are kinda set. You may have to toggle other classes though.
As for the drop down indicators, they are very much present, just remove the background:none
On that note, content property is usually set to ::before and ::after pseudoelement. Do have a look into this mdn link .
As I can see in your code selectors .menu li a .sf-sub-indicator, .menu li li a .sf-sub-indicator, .menu li li li a .sf-sub-indicator look almost equal.
Anyway if you want implement content attribute it's better to write something like:
.sf-sub-indicator::after {
background: none;
content: '»';
color: #622C82;
}

Background image is set for this span.
Inspect it again:
.menu li a .sf-sub-indicator, .menu li li a .sf-sub-indicator, .menu li li li a .sf-sub-indicator {
background: url(images/arrow-right2.png) no-repeat;
}

I have an issue where I want my theme to not do certain things.
I want my theme so stop using a sticky menu.
I want a specific page to not display a header.
I want h2 linked text to not be grey.
The heading changes i've tried through theme options so far apply to all pages instead of just the one i need.
I've dug into the code with file manager on cPanel but have found so many potentials for variables to change due to lack of expertise.
This is what i need help changing
PLEASE HELP!

Below is what i believe controls the h2 coloring if it is also a url. I do not know for sure though, thats why im here. If i do block specific h2 HTML color it fails to override the theme.
input[type="text"],
input[type="email"],
input[type="url"],
input[type="password"],
input[type="search"],
input[type="number"],
input[type="tel"],
input[type="range"],
input[type="date"],
input[type="month"],
input[type="week"],
input[type="time"],
input[type="datetime"],
input[type="datetime-local"],
input[type="color"],
textarea {
color: #666;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 3px;
}
I Dont know what to look for for the page headers.
I want my theme so stop using a sticky menu.
Usually this is a built in option on most downloaded themes.
Check Appearance -> Customize
If not use your browser inspect to find the class in your header with the position: fixed; and overwrite it in CSS with !important.
I want a specific page to not display a header.
Use your browser inspect to find the page ID calls and then target the header with display:none;.
.page-1 .header{display:none;}
I want h2 linked text to not be grey.
h2{color:red;} if you want to override all H2 colours.
To just target the H2 is a certian div use your browser inspect to find the parent classes.
Currently working on a website for a client, who wants a custom navigation bar, which aligns with a background image.
A working solution is as below:
The issue I have is that when the browser is resized/certain desktop monitors, the navigation bar does not align with the background. The reason for this is I have coded in pixel values and not made it properly responsive yet, which is where i'm currently stuck. Could anyone guide me on how to make the angles change depending on the browser size/viewport in order to achieve the alignment i require across all desktop/tablet devices?
Can provide the code as required, the navigation bar is just a vertical menu with margin-lefts though.
.nav {margin:0; position: fixed; z-index: 9999999; left:734px; top: 79px; width: 200px;}
.nav ul {}
.nav ul li {list-style: none; border-bottom:1px solid #7c818c; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top:11px; width:170px; font-size: 14px;}
.nav ul li:nth-child(2) {margin-left:27px;}
.nav ul li:nth-child(3) {margin-left:55px;}
.nav ul li:nth-child(4) {margin-left:87px;}
.nav ul li:nth-child(5) {margin-left:118px;}
.nav ul li:nth-child(6) {margin-left:146px;}
.nav ul li:nth-child(7) {margin-left:180px;}
.nav ul li:nth-child(8) {margin-left:205px;}
.nav ul li:nth-child(9) {margin-left:235px;}
.nav ul li a {color: #7c818c; text-decoration: none;/* text-transform: uppercase;*/}
.nav ul li a:hover, nav ul li a.active {color: #fff;}
Can anyone else please help? I've been reading loads of different questions about dropdown menus in IE, and they're all completely different. So I have no basis for mine.
I've tried to remove all child selectors, and rgba values, and basically stripped as much CSS3 out as possible.
I'm having trouble trying to get a CSS dropdown menu to work in IE9 and below.
Chrome, Firefox and IE 10+ all render this menu correctly. It's a simple, hover and show submenu. On IE9 and below, the dropdowns just don't appear.
I've read about removing -filter and -ms-filter, and z-index and all kinds, none of my CSS features any of this.
UPDATED CSS:
nav {width:100%;margin:0 auto;text-transform:uppercase;position:relative;}
#toggleMenu {display:none;font-size:40px;line-height:40px;}
ul.mainmenu { margin: 0; padding: 0; position:relative;}
ul.mainmenu .small {font-size:9pt;}
ul.mainmenu ul { left: -9999em; position: absolute; width:200px; background: #222; margin: 0; padding: 0; top: 40px;}
ul.mainmenu li.item-173 ul {width:310px;}
ul.mainmenu li.item-118 {text-transform:none;}
ul.mainmenu ul ul { background: #333; }
ul.mainmenu li { display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; position: relative; }
ul.mainmenu li a, ul.mainmenu li span.nav-header { display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; padding: 8px 6px; width:100px; color: #ddd;font-size:10pt; font-weight:normal; line-height:18pt;}
ul.mainmenu ul.nav-child li a {width:200px;}
ul.mainmenu ul.nav-child li a.vehicles {width:300px;}
ul.mainmenu li span.nav-header {cursor:default;}
ul.mainmenu li a:hover,
ul.mainmenu li:hover a,
ul.mainmenu li:hover span { background: #222; }
ul.mainmenu li:hover ul, ul.mainmenu li.focus ul { top: 40px; left: 0;}
ul.mainmenu li ul li:hover ul { top: 40px; left: 300px; }
ul.mainmenu ul li { display: block; padding: 0; }
ul.mainmenu ul li a { display: block; padding: 10px 15px; color:#999; }
ul.mainmenu ul li a.vehicles {text-align:left; padding:20px 15px;}
ul.mainmenu ul li a.vehicles img {float:left;margin-right:10px;}
ul.mainmenu ul li a.vehicles .image-title-description {text- transform:none;display:block;color:#666;}
ul.mainmenu ul li a:hover,
ul.mainmenu ul li:hover a .image-title-description { background: #333; color:#fff; text- decoration: none; }
ul.mainmenu ul ul li a:hover { background: #ccc; }
UPDATE:
I have added the HTML5Shiv line into the head to try and get it working for IE, but it hasn't made the dropdowns work, although it has changed the layout slightly in IE8.
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/html5shiv/r29/html5.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
UPDATE:
I really don't get this, as NOTHING seems to be working. There's no difference in IE9 no matter what I try. I've done all that's mentioned here in http://alistapart.com/article/hybrid and IE9 is showing nothing different. The top level of the menu is appearing fine, but the dropdowns just don't show.
I think I've come to a point to understand that IE8 and below won't render any :hover on anything that isn't an a tag. Is this an absolute 100% certainty?
IE9 uses document mode ie8 by default.
Try adding: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9"/> in your <head> and make sure you use <!DOCTYPE HTML>
This mostly has to do with using :hover on non- elements.
Since this is mostly quirky-browser-stuff, this answer is mostly just a speculation. Since quirky-browser-stuff usually does not have an obvious answer..
I have a submenu in WordPress that was set up as a list in the following way:
.sidebar .widget { margin-top:20px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-left:20px;}
.sidebar .widget h5 {line-height: 13px; margin-bottom: 30px; font-weight: bold;font-family: 'Droid Serif', Georgia, Times, serif; }
.sidebar .widget ul li { margin-bottom: 2px;background-color:#b3b1b2;padding:6px 2px; }
.sidebar .widget ul li a { margin-bottom: 2px;background-color:#b3b1b2;color:#ffffff ;padding:6px 2px; }
.sidebar .widget ul li a:hover { margin-bottom: 2px;background-color:#dadada;color:#202e3b ;padding:6px 2px; }
.sidebar .widget ul li a:active { margin-bottom: 2px;background-color:#dadada;color:#202e3b ;padding:6px 2px; }
See the page here: http://www.mahabbanetwork.com/who-we-are/
However, I would like the hover state to change the colour of the whole "bar" to the lighter grey, i.e. the full width instead of just the text-background which it is at present. I have played around with increasing the righthand padding but it, of course, increases it relative to the length/number of characters of the text link, which is different for each link.
This site uses a pre-coded WP template so I am not sure how to amend it to achieve the desire effect without messing things up elsewhere on the site.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Add :hover to li
.sidebar .widget ul li:hover
{
background-color:#dadada;
color:#202e3b ;
}
Add the hover state grey color to .sidebar .widget ul li:hover instead of .sidebar .widget ul li a:hover
.sidebar .widget ul li:hover
{
background-color:#dadada;
color:#202e3b ;
}
I have a menu:
<div class="headerMenu">
<ul>
<li>Home <span>Home Page<span></li>
<li>About <span>About My Website<span></li>
<li>Contact <span>Get in touch<span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
My current CSS is as follow:
.headerMenu{
width: 100%;
}
.headerMenu ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: left;
}
.headerMenu ul li{
display: inline;
}
.headerMenu ul li a{
float: left;
color: white;
padding-top:25px;
padding-left:50px;
font-size:24pt;
}
.headerMenu ul li a:visited{
color: white;
}
.headerMenu ul li a:hover, .menu ul li .current{
color: #fff;
background: url(../../Content/Images/menu-selector.png) repeat-x; /* 25x10 arrow/*
}
And now for the question:
How can i get the content in the span tag to be below the Main text.
When i hover over the anchor, How do i add the hover image as shown in screen shot
The Mockup i created in Photoshop looks like this:
I know this would be easily achievable by making use of images, but my solution requires that menu to be created dynamically.
1) How can i get the content in the span tag to be below the Main text.
You need to use display: block on the span to have it appear on a new line:
.headerMenu ul li a span {
display: block;
}
2) When i hover over the anchor, How do i add the hover image as shown in screen shot
Try to center the arrow to the top. This might work:
.headerMenu ul li a:hover, .menu ul li .current {
color: #fff;
background: url(../../Content/Images/menu-selector.png) no-repeat center top;
display:block;
/* also make sure that you use display block with correct height
so that you can positionate the arrow on the correct place... */
}
Add the following code for problem 1:
.headerMenu ul li a span {
display: block;
}
This sets the <span> to display as a block level element, therefore occupying the full parent container width by default.
For problem 2, there are multiple ways to do this. However, my suggestion would be to add the array to the <li> and use the :hover pseudo class. Note: that this will only work in IE for 7+.
.menu ul li:hover{
background: url(../../Content/Images/menu-selector.png) repeat-x;
}
