I need some more help on my superfish menu here:
http://web288.merkur.ibone.ch/klingler/
I would like to modify the main buttons on hover and current. However this does also change the submenu entries what I do not want. I am not a CSS expert but somehow the submenu entries do inherit the properties. What I tried to add is the following
.sf-menu a:hover,
.sf-menu li.current a,
.sf-menu li.sfHover a {
background: #e24c4c url(../../images/bg-top-a-active.png) no-repeat center bottom;
margin: 5px;
padding: 0 10px;
height: 35px;
line-height: 35px;
border-radius: 5px;
}
This does what I want for the main buttons but it does also change the submenu entries... What am I doing wrong?
As I understand you only want to select the a elements which are direct children of li.current or li.sfHover.
.sf-menu a:hover,
.sf-menu li.current > a,
.sf-menu li.sfHover > a {

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;
}
My sub menu disappears immediately after I move my mouse pointer to scroll towards the sub menu. Feel like I have screwed my CSS somewhere. I could not figure out after several attempts to make it stay active. I followed few tutorials(have a look at it) where they have called the hover on the ul instead of a(anchor), I tried similar ways but could not achieve what I want. Please point out where I have made the mistake. Here is my fiddle(my code). Sample CSS code for hover is below.
#topnav ul li ul
{
display: none;
position: absolute;
text-align: left;
background:#510000;
top:30px;
}
#topnav ul li:hover ul
{
display: block;
}
Put the padding on your list items instead of your ul or container. That way the dropdown overlaps your hover element and your browser never thinks that you hovered out of the element. See this:
#topnav li {
display:inline-block;
padding:10px 0;
margin-right:30px;
position: relative;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/jeffreyTang/q5cmqLrf/1/
You can also give
#topnav ul li ul {
padding-top:30px
}
instead of:
#topnav ul li ul {
top:30px
}
The problem is with your padding being at the nav level and you trying to make the drop down appear below it. Because you position your dropdown away from the parent li, you're no longer hovering over it when you move your mouse down. To fix, remove the padding from the nav and add it to the li.
remove padding from here:
#topnav{
display:block;
clear:both;
width:500px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-align:center;
}
add to here:
#topnav li{
display:inline-block;
padding: 15px 0 15px 5px;
margin-right:30px;
position: relative;
}
remove top from here:
#topnav ul li ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
text-align: left;
background:#510000;
}

Here's a way to do it (it's more of a trick):
http://jsfiddle.net/zj8krh95/5/
#topnav ul li:hover {
padding-bottom: 10px;
margin-bottom: -10px; /* so that the menubar's height stays the same */
}
#topnav ul li:hover ul {
margin-top: -10px; /* so that the menu opens at the right position */
}
Basically, on hover, i extend the menu item's height so that no mouseout is trigger when i move down to the menu.
I am changing some parts of my WP site to RTL.
Everything is OK except for sub-menu items. when the cursor goes over a menu item, obviously some sub-menu item opens. Now my problem is with its direction of opening. In other words, I need sub-menu items be opened to left.
I tried a simple CSS code,
#nav {direction: rtl;}
Unfortunately this code is effective only regarding menu text direction.
Is there any CSS trick making sub-menus open to LEFT?

Simply add text-align: left; to the selector:
#wrapper #nav ul li ul li a, #wrapper #sticky-nav ul li ul li a
FullCode:
#nav ul ul, #sticky-nav ul ul {
left: auto !important;
right: 0 !important;
}
#nav ul ul li:hover ul, #sticky-nav ul ul li:hover ul {
right: 170px !important;
left: auto !important;
}
my problem is rather simply explained, but I just cannot find the answer using firebug etc....
Why are my submenu items overlapping? Hover over "Aktuelles" and you can see that the transparent submenu items overlap, creating ugly white bars. The ul li elements have no minus margins assigned to them, so why are they doing it?
Thanks!
It's because you are giving .main-navigation li a fixed height. Line 946 in style.css. Remove the height. Also the box-shadow on .main-navigation li ul li a might cause some ugly design. You'd better apply the shadow on .main-navigation li ul.
The line-height of a <a> is higher than it's parent <li>.
Set the line-height in the following classes to equal values:
.main-navigation li ul li a
.main-navigation li
You have this css class:
.main-navigation li ul li a:hover {
background: #e3e3e3;
color: #444;
}
Change it like this:
.main-navigation li ul li a:hover {
background: #e3e3e3;
color: #444;
opacity: 0.75;
}
#Bram Vanroy answer is the way to go...
Also try this code
.sub-menu li {
margin: 0;
}
Because .main-navigation li style affects all the li in that menu, so this margin: 0 2.857142857rem 0 0 is making the .sub-menu li to have an ugly margin-right
I'm not sure if I formulated the question correctly, but let me try to explain what I want to achieve.
I'm trying to style navigation menu of a WordPress-based site.
I want the submenu links to be evenly arranged along the entire width of the website's <body> tag (960px wide). If the links of a particular submenu do not fit in one row, I want them to wrap around and arrange themselves in neat columns.
Finally, I want the submenu, when it drops down on hover, to push the rest of the website's content down.
Problem: the submenu unordered list affects the position of the links in the parent unordered list, moving the links around. Somehow, the only thing I could do to keep the parent menu links in place was to pull the submenus out of the way by applying margin-right:-965px;
Question: How should I modify my CSS to position both submenus all the way to the left, level with the edge of the main container?
(If necessary, I can assign custom classes to each submenu separately, for example: .submenu-about and .submenu-investors.)
Thank you in advance for your help!
Here's the complete CSS for the navigation menu:
.main-navigation ul {
list-style-type:none;
margin-top:45px;
}
.main-navigation ul {
display: inline-block;
width:70%;
float:right;
}
.main-navigation ul li {
float:left;
}
.main-navigation ul li a {
display:block;
margin:3px 0 3px 40px;
}
.main-navigation ul ul {
background:#efefef;
display:none;
}
.main-navigation li {
font-size: 13px;
}
.main-navigation li a {
outline: none;
text-decoration:none;
border-bottom: 0;
color: #6a6a6a;
text-transform: uppercase;
//white-space: nowrap;
}
.main-navigation li a:hover {
color: #000;
}
.main-navigation ul li:hover > ul {
margin:-1px -960px 3px 0;
display:block;
width:960px;
}
.main-navigation li ul li a {
font-size: 11px;
margin: 10px 0 10px 10px;
width:180px;
}
.main-navigation .menu-item > a,
.main-navigation .menu-ancestor > a,
.main-navigation .page_item > a,
.main-navigation .page_ancestor > a {
color: #9a9a9a;
font-weight:bold;
}
.main-navigation .current-menu-item > a,
.main-navigation .current-menu-ancestor > a,
.main-navigation .current_page_item > a,
.main-navigation .current_page_ancestor > a {
color: #636363;
font-weight:bold;
}
This Should do it
Add this to your css
.main-navigation ul li .sub-menu {position:absolute; left:0px;}
Found my own answer.
Remove the background from ul li:hover ul.
Set position:relative and the gray background for the ul li:hover >ul li.
Set individually the negative left margins for each submenu li item, to pull them left separately by different number of pixels.
