i'm working on a horizontal scrolling site. The elements on the site are al placed in a UL > LI structure, to create multiple blocks.
The problem that i am having is the i want 2 sets of UL after eachother, but they will overlap. Tried searching for this on the internet, but none have made what i did.
And example of what i trying to do can be found here: http://jsfiddle.net/DHbtx/2/
There you will see that the 2 UL overlap because of the "float: left" and no block elements. i have tried adding an :after pseudo element, but didn't work (from: Multi-column issue with horizontal scroll)
li:last-of-type:after {
content: '';
display: block;
width: 15px;
height: 1px;
float: right;
margin-right: -15px;
margin-top: -1px;
}
Could anyone help me with this problem? I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Try giving the ul elements a width, say 50%.
ul
{
width: 50%;
...
}

Heres my website unbotttled.com and the categories sub menu does not align with its parent categories? Is it to do with the padding, is there another way to solve this other than removing the padding? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The <a> and the <ul> are both being padded by the containing <li> "Categories". To help you understand - If you look closely the drop down is getting lined up to the left edge of "Categories" because of the containg <li>'s padding:15px.
There are a few ways to fix this, using a negative margin is one:
#menuleft ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
position: fixed;
visibility: visible;
width: 130px;
padding: 0;
padding-top: 20px;
margin-left: -15px;
Having a thorough understanding of the CSS Box Model is imperative for modern Web Development. It's fairly easy to understand.
Learn about it here: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html
It is not positioned correctly because the li it is inside of has padding of 15px. So it is to the right by 15px.
Add this CSS to the ul sub-menu margin-left:-15px
I'm trying to center the menu bar and make the menu bar fit the text.
Here is a website I'm trying to edit:
http://www.graffitisumperk.g6.cz/blog/
I've already figure out that I can center menu items this way:
.menu {
text-align:center
}
.menu li {
display:inline-block;
float:none;
margin-left: -5px;
}
.menu li li {
display:block;
text-align:left
}
But I can't seem to fit the menu bar to the width of the menu items.
I've calculated it should be 445px long, but when I change this:
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 960px;
to 445px, the whole page it affected, not just the menu bar.
Any ideas how to fix it?
You can do it very very similarly :). One of the effects of display: inline-block; is that the element attempts to resize itself to contain its children. You could achieve this with float or position: absolute as well, but those do not really fit into this layout.
.main-nav { text-align: center; }
.menu { display: inline-block; }
I guessed you might want to center the menu, so I added the text-align too.
Tip: If you use the inspector of your browser (all modern browsers have a pretty decent one), you can easily figure out which element you need to change.
When I looked at your page, it looks like the part you really need to change is the "main-nav" class.
The #container div contains your whole page so you don't want to mess with that one.
I have a div (#socmed) with an ul containing li's which i have positioned at the top right of my page. You can find the div inside the header tag. These are social media buttons by the way.
http://digilabs.be/tutu/collection.php
As you can see, it only shows up in chrome and safari (haven't tested in IE yet).
I have tried changing the z-index, because I felt like it got overlapped by the parent div, which is colored pink. But that didn't seem to work. I have no idea what to do.
Thanks in advance for all help.
In your main.css:Line 73
Add a width to the <li> item.
#socmed li {
list-style: none outside none;
margin-top: 5px;
width: 25px; /* Add this width..! */
}
This seems to fix your problem.
Your outer #socmed div has width: 25px, but your <li> within it does not, and by default it is larger then the 25px as specified on #socmed, so would not display.
2 CSS adjustments you can make. First make a relative container (not fully tested on your page, but usually a good practice...
header {
position:relative;
}
Second, define a width for your ul list items in your header...
#socmed ul {
width:30px;
}
Hopefully this helps
This issue is related to the width of div#socmed:
#socmed{
width: auto;
height: 125px;
position: absolute;
top:8px;
right: 40px;
}
Originally, you set width to 25px, and this was not wide enough to show your icons.
This question from:
ul, ol {
margin: 0 0 10px 25px; // to margin:0
padding: 0;
}
please don't in the ul,ol such values margin: 0 0 10px 25px; It is a gobal.
I have put relative div in relative container. It worked.
(I'm looking at this site in IE 8.) As you can see the content floats center knocking the sidebar below it. It works perfectly in Chrome. I can't think why the float:left; command isn't working in IE.
#content {
margin: 5px 0 5px 5px;
font: 1.2em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
width:65%;
float:left;
}
Thanks for your help.

If you add overflow: hidden to your ul#list-nav then that will prevent the floating navigation messing up the rest of the document.
As for why the navigation is displaying strangely, it's because you're specifying your widths and layout badly. What you should be using is this:
ul#list-nav {
overflow: hidden;
}
ul#list-nav li {
width: 16.66%;
float: left;
display: block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
ul#list-nav li a{
display: block;
margin-left: 1px;text-decoration: none;
padding: 5px 0;
background: #754C78;
color: #EEE;
text-align: center;
}
That way, the width of each element is exactly 16.66%, rather than 16.62% + 1px
what i currently see in IE8 is:
the problem is that menu links are too wide in IE. You've set the width to 16.62% to each anchor in the menu and that's too wide for IE. Since the width of your content is fixed I suggest you set fixed width in pixels (132px) for these links so they fit on one line and look consistent across browsers, also removing li style setting margin: 0.5em 2em to fix positioning problem in IE.
After my fix I see this:
To me it looks like theres nothing really wrong with the content.
In ie6-ie9 the menu seems to be failing in some way.
and also the menu goes in two rows which pushes everything down. I'm not sure if that is all due to the s letter or not at this point..
Note that the extra letter s seems to be somewhere between #menu and #content .containers.
Edit2: the problem is clearly the menu a width which is too much and the menu goes into two rows.
The way menu is often done is that the ulor outer div holds the color and then the menu li are either centered within that or just plain floated to the left. this way you get the full height feel without the tourbles of the menu braking like this ( though if you do it without ignoring the width.. it is possible with too many menu items and so on. )
add clear:both; on menu container.

Might be a bit too early in the morning for me but I struggling to figure out what I've done wrong here.
I have a page with 9 boxes and I would like them to be positioned with 3 on one line, 3 on another and 3 on the other.
Have a look here: http://dev.tim-morgan.co.uk/other/Untitled-1.html
Right now you can see, the list bullets are showing and each box looks like it's going down like a staircase since I put in float: left;
Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
You need to:
Move float: left from ul.tabs2 a to ul.tabs2 li.
Add overflow: hidden to .tabs2 to clear the floats.
Add clear: left to every 3n+1 li using :nth-child, try this:
ul.tabs2 li:nth-child(3n+1) {
clear: left
}
If you need to support Internet Explorer 8 and lower (no nth-child support), you can use http://selectivizr.com/, or just add the clear: left rule yourself to each relevant li.
You might want to remove the default styles on your <li>s, they could be interfering with the floating of the <a>s in the <li>s.
I’d suggest:
ul.tabs2 {
list-style: none;
}
ul.tabs2 li {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
For getting three in a row, #thirydot’s answer looks good. If you know how wide you want each box to be, you could set that width on the <a>s, then set a width on the <ul>:
ul.tabs2 {
width: 300px;
}
ul.tabs2 li a {
width: 100px;
}
In your css add this
ul.tabs2 li {display:block;float:left;width:33%;margin:0 0 10px 0;padding:0;}
and also add overflow:hidden and list-style:none to your ul.tabs2 if you don't want bullets.
