I am having trouble with a pop-out menu behaving different in Chrome than in IE or Firefox.
Here is the HTML
<body>
<ul>
<li>Level One
<ul>
<li>Level Two Item One</li>
<li>Level Two Item Two
<ul>
<li>Level Three</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</body>
Here is the css
ul {
padding: 0px;
list-style-type: none;
}
li {
background-color: blue;
}
a:link {
text-decoration:none;
color: #0000ff;
margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
background-color: cyan;
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
}
li {
position: relative;
}
li > ul {
display: none;
}
li:hover > ul, li.sfhover > ul {
left 100%;
top 0;
position: absolute;
display: inline-block;
}
li:hover > ul li, li.sfhover > ul li {
background-color: #33ff33;
width: 200px;
position: relative;
}
In Firefox and IE Level Three pops out to the right of Level Two Item Two. In Chrome Level Three pops out below Level Two Item Two.
I know it has something to do with making the link a block element, but I want the link to display as an inline-block. Also, I cannot change the HTML. It is coming from a CMS (I have simplified it to illustrate the problem)
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You've got a couple of colons missing from your CSS, specifically this rule: li:hover > ul, li.sfhover > ul
left 100%; should beleft:100%; and top 0; should be top:0;

I would like to change my current menu to allow for one dropdown: Products. My test page can be found here This is my HTML:
<nav>
<ul class="menu">
<li class="current">Home</li>
<li>About Us</li>
<li class="subNav"><a class="selected">Products</a>
<ul>
<li>Designer Bags
</li>
<li>Cowhides
</li>
<li>Hand-carved Geese
</li>
<li>Antler Chandeliers
</li>
</ul>
<li>Gallery</li>
<li>Shows</li>
<li>Contact</li>
<li>Shop</li>
</ul>
</nav>
My original CSS:
.nav-buttons{text-align:center;padding-bottom:17px;}
#nav{overflow:hidden;display:inline-block}
#nav li{float:left;overflow:hidden;margin:0 10px}
#nav li a{display:block;background:url(../images/pags.png) no-repeat 0 0;
width:19px;height:19px;
line-height:0;font-size:0;
}
#nav li a:hover,#nav li.showPage a{background-position: 0 bottom}
nav{float:right;padding:12px 0 0 0}
.menu {
font-size:0;
line-height:0;
padding:0;
z-index:99;
position:relative;
margin-right:21px;
}
.menu > li {
position:relative;
float:left;
margin-left:11px;
border-radius:5px;
-moz-border-radius:5px;
-webkit-border-radius:5px;
background:url(../images/point.png)
}
.menu li a{
color:#b3adad;
font-size:18px;
line-height:20px;
display:block;
position:relative;
text-decoration:none !important;
padding:7px 12px 9px;
font-family: 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;
}
.menu li.current,
.menu li:hover {
background:#9c6f51;
}
.menu li.current a,
.menu li:hover a{
color:#fff
}
And this bit of CSS I just added today:
nav a {
font-weight: 800;
padding: 5px 10px;
display: block;
}
nav > ul > li.subNav ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
background: #fff;
}
nav ul li.subNav:hover ul {
display: block;
}
It seems to want to work with the exception that I see no sub-menu unless I hover over it. I've come here for help because I'm afraid to mess with the original CSS and thus ruin my navigation throughout the rest of the site. Is there something I can add that will cause the menu to appear within just the "subNav" class, without affecting the rest of the menu or site navigation? (The original CSS came with this template and I do note that font-size:0 is used a few times. Since the menu worked well before I felt I needed to add a dropdown, I have been reluctant to change that, since I would only be experimenting without understanding.)
I've sorted it. I had to change the background color in the "subNav" class, in order for the site menu's overall font color to show up. It's there; I just couldn't see it.
I have a nav that holds a ul with several ils. The problem is that im unable to get rid of the ul's first and last child's divider.
here's a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Rvs3C/1/
i've added this code to my CSS file but seems like it makes no difference:
nav ul a li:first-child{
content: none;
}
nav ul a li:last-child{
content: none;
}
You markup is wrong. The corret way is <a> tag being the children of tag <li>.
The way you made the correct selector would:
nav ul a:first-child li{
content: none;
}
nav ul a:last-child li{
content: none;
}
But remembering, this is not the right way to do.
The correct is change you html to:
<ul class="showing">
<li>home</li>
...
As mentioned elsewhere your HTML structure is off, li must me a direct child of ul, no other element as a child is valid. With this said, you also need to change your selectors per the below.

HTML
<nav>
<ul class="showing">
<li>home
</li>
<li>about me

<li class="nav_arr"><img src="http://www.irvinewelsh.net/images/arrow-left.png" />

I'm a relative newbie and I'm having trouble following the css for my nav. I need to do 2 things:
1) run my sub menu inline
2) hide my sub-sub nav, and show it inline as well.
Here is the test site: http://gbetza.mydomain.com/webservice2/test/Basso56/test/home.html
Here is the CSS: http://gbetza.mydomain.com/webservice2/test/Basso56/test/css/style%20-%20Copy.css
I'm having trouble understanding which class I need to adjust as well as how.
Thank you
Copy + Paste from a similar answer of mine.
I have created a really simple implementation of this. It is barebones so that you can get a real easy look at the basic concept.
In the fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/WS3QQ/2/
HTML - Note how the sub-menus are nested
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li>Top Menu
<ul>
<li>Sub-Menu</li>
<li>Sub-Menu</li>
<li>Sub-Menu</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Top Menu</li>
<li>Top Menu</li>
<li>Top Menu</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS - note how you can easily target the sub-menus (#nav li li). By default the sub-menu li is hidden (display:none). When the li is hovered over, the sub menu li is shown (display:block).
#nav ul { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
#nav li { float: left; }
#nav li li { clear: left; display: none; }
#nav li:hover li { display: block; }
#nav li:hover a { background: #111; }
#nav li a { background: #333; padding: 10px; display: block; color: #FFF; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; }
#nav li a:hover { background: #3914AF; }
I tried solving this using some tips from this site but it doesn't seem to work for me. I have a website http://apartmanimikzaton.com/paintball/index.php, and I want to create a drop down menu like from the navigation.
EDIT: I didn't add it right now, but the thing I want to get is drop down menu text on hover.
This is my navigaton:
<ul class="navigation">
<li id="navigation-1"> O nama </li>
<li id="navigation-2"> Oprema </li>
<li id="navigation-3"> Tereni
<ul>
<li> Lokacija 1 </li>
<li> Lokacija 2 </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li id="navigation-4"> Galerija </li>
<li id="navigation-5"> Cjenik </li>
<li id="navigation-6"> O Paintballu </li>
<li id="navigation-7"> Teamovi </li>
<li id="navigation-8"> Webshop </li>
</ul>
And this is my css:
.navigation {background: url(images/layout/navigation.jpg) no-repeat; width: 980px; height: 57px; margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0;}
.navigation li, .navigation a {height: 57px; display: block;}
.navigation li {float: left; text-indent: -9999em; position: relative;}
.navigation ul ul{
position:absolute;
left: 0;
top: 100px; /* height of the parent list item */
display:none; /* hide it */
}
.navigation li:hover > ul{ /* show it when mouse is over the parent list item */
display:block;
}
I'm doing something wrong so any tips would be appreciated.
I took the time to analyze your code, and here's what I can help you with for now.
First of all, insert these styles into your CSS:
ul.navigation li ul{
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #000000;
display:none;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 57px;
width: 117px;
z-index: 6;
}
On the following styles:
.navigation li {
float: left;
position: relative;
text-indent: -9999em;
width: 100%;
}
The text-indent: -9999em; is affecting the text of the drop down menu you want to insert. I suggest you remove it. If you don't wish to display the text over your menu icons, you can simply do it like this on your link:
I don't think this approach will work:
.navigation li:hover > ul{ /* show it when mouse is over the parent list item */
display:block;
}
Try this instead and see if it works:
.navigation li:hover ul{
display:block;
}
That should at least help you a bit, can't really tell if that's what you are intending to do. Give a response if you manage to accomplish what you wanted.

Remove this:
.navigation li:hover > ul{ /* show it when mouse is over the parent list item */
display:block;
}
And Add this
.navigation li:hover ul{ /* show it when mouse is over the parent list item */
display:block;
}
There are some unnecessary styles in there that need cleaning up, but if you're wanting a quick fix:
.navigation > li:hover > ul,
.navigation > li:hover > ul > li,
.navigation > li:hover > ul > li > a {
text-indent: 0;
display: block;
z-index: 999;
background: #fff;
}
I have created a navigation bar that is centered with CSS which works. Each li item is separated with a border which is a background image. When hovering on the nav items, the separator disappears because the hover changes the background (I guess) but I wonder how I can fix this, padding or margin can't work because it will just shift the li element.
Second problem is that the sub menu items aren't displaying correctly and I have no idea why...
Demonstration: http://jsfiddle.net/Xenios/tfbhh/9/embedded/result/
The code: http://jsfiddle.net/Xenios/tfbhh/9/
I'm trying to get this to work for almost a week, and I'm quite tired of it, so I'm looking here for support.
Separator
As you know the main bar (nav_container) has a background image, which makes up the look of the button. The background for each button is the separator and nothing else (10px on the right). So, when your on hover background shows, because its park of the non-hover background.
In order to fix this you need to put the separator in it's own <li>, with the non-hover background. Then when you hover the elements they can easily change to your current on hover image with.
If you don't want to separate the <li> elements then, you will have to will have to make individual full width images for each button, but looking at the way you've gone about making this menu, I doubt you will want to do this.
Here is your working example (I only did the first few buttons): http://jsfiddle.net/tfbhh/43/
Submenu
As I mentioned above, you have set the container background image, you haven't done this on your submenu items, so thats why they don't have a larger looking button. Use your developer toolbar (F12) to see the styling and this should clear it up.
You can use a left padding equal to the width of the separator on the li and change only the background on the a. Also I noticed you used class="separator" on all but the first list item. You could replace that with the :first-child pseudo selector. Then you would get something like this:
li:first-child { padding-left: 0; background: transparent; }
li { padding-left: 3px; background: url(separator.png) no-repeat; }
li a { line-height: 40px; padding: 0 15px; }
li a:hover { background: url(anchor-hover.png) repeat-x; }
Edit: The CSS above covers the core styling of this solution. Here's a working example (using background colors):
http://jsfiddle.net/haa5X/3/
The complete CSS:
ul { overflow: hidden; background: green; }
li:first-child { padding-left: 0; }
li { padding-left: 3px; float: left; background: red; }
li a { float: left; line-height: 40px; padding: 0 15px; background: yellow; }
li a:hover { background: purple; }
The complete HTML:
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
</ul>
Edit 2: Sorry, missed the part of the submenu:
http://jsfiddle.net/haa5X/4/
The complete CSS:
ul { overflow: hidden; margin: 0; background: green; }
ul > li:first-child { padding-left: 0; }
ul > li { padding-left: 3px; float: left; background: red; }
ul > li a { float: left; line-height: 40px; padding: 0 15px; background: yellow; }
ul > li a:hover { background: purple; }
li ul { display: none; position: absolute; margin-top: 40px; }
li:hover ul { display: block; }
li li { padding-left: 0; float: none; display: block; }
li li a { float: none; display: block; width: 100%; }
The complete HTML:
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2
<ul>
<li>First sub item</li>
<li>Sub item 2</li>
<li>Last sub item</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
</ul>
