I can't figure it out how to center float:left object vertically.
I imagine that I could set the position of this menu bar vertically (The height of Y-axis) I think that would be the answer
// html part
<div class="menu_simple">
<ul>
<li>One</li>
<li>Two</li>
</ul>
//css
.menu_simple ul {
float:left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width:100px;
list-style-type: none;
box-shadow: 5px 8px 5px #888888;
}
.menu_simple ul li a {
border: 1px solid #0066cc;
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
padding: 10.5px 11px;
background-color: #3b3b3b;
display:block;
}
.menu_simple ul li a:visited {
color: white;
}
.menu_simple ul li a:hover, .menu_simple ul li .current {
color: white;
background-color: #5FD367;
}
Fiddle example
First you set position: absolute for the menu div, then set top to 50% and the transform option to -50%.

Hope this helps
Use the CSS position property.
Set the page hold, in your case the <body> to position: relative; and the part you wish to move, in your case; .menu_simple to the following:
.menu_simple {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 0;
}
Flexbox works nicely for this type of thing:
http://codepen.io/simply-simpy/pen/rVwXyz
menu_simple {
display:flex;
justify-content: flex-start;
align-items: center;
height: 500px;
border: 1px solid red;
}

I'm trying to increase the top and bottom padding in the following, but can't get it to work. I.e. notice the padding top and bottom code in ul.navbar li a. It has no effect. What's an alternative? Please advise.
ul.navbar {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #ff9933;
font-size: 90%;
text-align: center;
}
ul.navbar li {
margin: auto;
display: inline;
border-right: 1px solid #ffb366;
}
ul.navbar li:first-child {
border-left: 1px solid #ffb366;
}
ul.navbar li a {
display: inline;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-top: 30px;
padding-bottom: 30px;
text-decoration: none;
}
ul.navbar li a:hover {
background-color: #e67300;
}
<ul class="navbar">
<li>Home</li><li>Photos</li><li>Videos</li><li>Logout</li>
</ul>
I don't want to disturb the navigation bar's layout in any way - hence can't include the padding top and bottom option in <ul> - that messes up the layout and the hover both.
9.4.2 Inline formatting contexts
In an inline formatting context, boxes are laid out horizontally, one after the other, beginning at the top of a containing block. Horizontal margins, borders, and padding are respected between these boxes.
You can set it to inline block, if you need to apply vertical paddings etc.
ul.navbar li a {
display: inline-block;
}
inline elements don't have top and bottom padding. If you want to these padding you must use block or inline-block elements:
ul.navbar {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #ff9933;
font-size: 90%;
text-align: center;
}
ul.navbar li {
margin: auto;
display: inline-block;
border-right: 1px solid #ffb366;
}
ul.navbar li:first-child {
border-left: 1px solid #ffb366;
}
ul.navbar li a {
display: inline-block;
color: white;
text-align: center;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-top: 30px;
padding-bottom: 30px;
text-decoration: none;
}
ul.navbar li a:hover {
background-color: #e67300;
}
<ul class="navbar">
<li>Home</li><li>Photos</li><li>Videos</li><li>Logout</li>
</ul>
I made a menu bar, and custom effect on hover. I wanted the link text to be on top layer. Problem is that when I hover the link in menu, the triangle overlays the text as shown in example, even though I set the z-index of a link to 999.
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li>yyyyyy</li>
<li>ppppppp</li>
<li>ggggggg</li>
<li>jjjjjjjj</li>
</ul>

Your problem is that the ::after pseudo element is considered a part of the a element, and so changing the z-index of the anchor, will also apply to the pseudo element.
A quick solution would be to move the arrow pseudo element to the list item instead of the link.
Working jsFiddle
li {
position: relative;
}
li a {
position: relative;
z-index:2;
}
li:hover::after {
position: absolute;
}
Another solution:
As Roko C. Buljan mentioned in the comments, a more straight-forward solution can be to build the arrow pseudo element properly (the second border color needs to be transparent, instead of the background's color:
li a:hover:after {
border: 10px solid transparent;
border-bottom-color: #ff8888;
}

I'm curious why my 'homepage' link keeps shifting over. I've made a fiddle of the problem:
jsfiddle.net/nbf8fwdv/
Thanks for the help. I'm still getting the hang of semantics and proper usage in CSS, so if you see any glaring problems with my code that only a beginner would make, please let me know. Thanks for the help in advance.
In order to prevent the homepage from shifting on hover, you'll want to remove this property:
max-width: 75px;
from this class:
nav ul>li:hover {
background-color: rgba(253,235,193,.6);
max-width: 75px;
text-align:center;
}
Because the homepage list item is naturally greater than 75px, the max-width property is actually reducing it's width on hover.
You can write a class like bootstrap
body {
background-color: white;
font-family: PT Sans, sans-serif;
text-shadow: 1px 1px rgba(166,166,166,.2);
}
header {
background: white;
width: 100%
padding: 40px 0;
color: black;
text-align: center;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
font-size: 1.0em;
letter-spacing: 2px;
}
nav {
box-shadow: 1px 1px 10px rgba(166,166,166,.2);
}
nav ul {
background-color: rgba(253,235,193,.3);
overflow: visible;
color: white;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
}
nav ul li {
display: inline-block;
padding: 20px 40px;
position: relative;
}
nav ul ul {
display: none;
}
nav ul>li:hover {
background-color: rgba(253,235,193,.6);
text-align:center;
}
nav ul li:hover ul{
display: block;
margin-top: 20px;
}
nav ul li:hover li{
margin-left: -40px;
margin-top:-15px;
text-align: center;
float: left;
clear: left;
}
.portfolio_menu{position:absolute;top:100%;left:0;z-index:1000;display:none;float:left;min-width:160px;padding:5px 0;margin:2px 0 0;font-size:14px;text-align:left;list-style:none;background-color:#fff;-webkit-background-clip:padding-box;background-clip:padding-box;border:1px solid #ccc;border:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.15);border-radius:4px;-webkit-box-shadow:0 6px 12px rgba(0,0,0,.175);box-shadow:0 6px 12px rgba(0,0,0,.175)}
To actually save your other links by shifting over when hover over the "portfolio", here is my 2 cents. http://jsfiddle.net/nbf8fwdv/5/
nav ul ul {
display: none;
position:absolute;
left:0;
}
I have a navigation dropdown element that I would like to make selectable - currently the link only works when the text is hovered and not the box surrounding it. Is there a way in which I can do this in CSS.
My CSS code:
.main-menu {
position: absolute;
top:90px;
right:0px;
text-align: right;
z-index: 2000;
}
.main-menu ul {
width: 50%;
background-color: #333;
display: inline;
margin: 0;
padding: 20px 5px;
list-style: none;
color: #fff;
}
.main-menu ul li {
display: inline-block;
margin-right: -10px;
position: relative;
padding: 17px 15px;
cursor: pointer;
color: #fff;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: 700;
}
.main-menu ul li a {
color: #fff;
border: none;
}
.main-menu ul li a:hover {
color: #f1c40f;
}
/* sub menu */
.main-menu ul li ul {
position: absolute;
top: 25px;
left: 0;
min-width: 150px;
opacity: 0;
margin: 10px 0px;
padding: 17px 5px 0px 5px;
visibility: hidden;
text-align: left;
}
.main-menu ul li ul li {
display: block;
color: #fff;
margin: 0px -5px;
}
.main-menu ul li ul li:hover {
background: #666;
color: #f1c40f;
}
.main-menu ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
opacity: 1;
visibility: visible;
}
Jsfiddle is: http://jsfiddle.net/9BdTK/
Method 1
You can simply move the <a></a> outside of <li>.
E.G:
<li>Home</li>
DEMO HERE
Note: I have only done this for the first two links.
Method 2
A better way to do this is the following:
HTML:
<div id="con">
<ul>
<li>Test</li>
<li>Test</li>
<li>Test</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS:
#con {
width: 100%;
background: #eee;
text-align: center;
}
ul {
list-style: none;
}
li {
display: inline-block;
width: 80px;
height: 50px;
outline: 1px solid #000;
}
a {
display: block;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
Keep <a> inside and set it to display: block;, then set the width and height to 100% and this will take up the whole div creating a div link.

Hope this helps.
I have this on my site, but I also managed to do so from this site.
have a look :
Don't put padding in the 'li' item. Instead set the anchor tag to
display:inline-block; and apply padding to it.By Stussa
As said on : Make whole area clickable
Goodluck

Been playing around with this piece of code for a while and am confused a bit.
How do I:
Change the color of the each submenu?
Make the submenu the same width as the main button?
HTML
<ul id="menu">
<li>This is the button
<ul class="submenu">
<li>Button one
</li>
<li>Button two
</li>
<li>Button three
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Remove all floats and position:absolute
Check this demo
I just removed all floats (which was causing funny jumping of li and really not needed) and position:absolute (which was causing menu to shift sideways)
Also, I didn't read through all your CSS to find which background property is overriding which one, but I just removed them all and added new ones at bottom.
#menu > li { background-color: red; }
#menu > li:hover { background-color: green; }
.submenu li { background-color: blue; }
.submenu li:hover { background-color: yellow; }
EDIT 1
Its a good idea to use CSS shorthands and reduce CSS size and also make it more readable. Also, remove all incorrect CSS and you can also write border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px as border-radius: 2px (and save 12 bytes :O)
EDIT 2
CSS shorthands - MDN
font shorthand - W3C
background shorthand - W3C (scroll to the very bottomo of the page)
Change the color of the each submenu
ul.submenu a:hover {
background-color: red !important;
}
This changes on hover. If you want it always the same color remove :hover
Make the submenu the same width as the main button
ul.submenu, ul.submenu>li {
width: 100%;
}
This way you don't need to apply a fixed width. The browser will calculate it using parents adapted width.
Demo
Here is the correct approach in tackling your issues
DEMO http://jsfiddle.net/kevinPHPkevin/zcfqu/37/
// be more specific when targeting
ul#menu ul.submenu li a:hover {
background-color: green;
}
// set width to match button size
ul.submenu, ul.submenu>li {
width: 100%;
}
// assign classes for different coloured buttons. You could do this with css3 and `nth child` but it would limit your browser support considerably.
ul#menu .submenu li.btn1 a {
background: red;
}
ul#menu .submenu li.btn2 a {
background: yellow;
}
ul#menu .submenu li.btn3 a {
background: blue;
}
Take a look to this, I changed the background, and the "hover" and the width. It is correct ? Fiddle
ul#menu, ul#menu ul.sub-menu and ul#menu, ul.submenu --> width: 200px;
ul#menu li a for the background
I've set each li as 150px width. This has fixed the issue.
http://jsfiddle.net/andaywells/zcfqu/34/
ul#menu ul.submenu li {width: 150px;}
You can try the css as below with no changes on the html elements. I have added some comments for your references. Only 3 changes made on the css.
