can anyone help me find out what the problem is? I'm trying to make the active state of the css sprite work.
At the moment, it is not doing anything
HTML
<ul id="nav">
<li id="Contact">Contact</li>
<li id="Manual">Manual</li>
<li id="FAQ">FAQ</li>
</ul>
CSS
#nav {
background:url("../img/nav_final.png") no-repeat;
width: 372px;
height: 47.5px;
margin: 70px auto;
margin-bottom:25px;
padding: 0;
}
#nav li, #nav a {
height: 47.5px;
display: block;
}
#nav li {
float: left;
list-style: none;
display: inline;
text-indent: -9999em;
}
#Contact { width: 120px; }
#Manual { width: 140px; }
#FAQ { width: 112px; }
#Contact a:hover, #Contact a:active { background:url("../img/nav_final.png") 0px -47.5px no-repeat; }
#Manual a:hover, #Manual a:active { background:url("../img/nav_final.png") -118px -47.5px no-repeat; }
#FAQ a:hover, #FAQ a:active { background:url("../img/nav_final.png") -260px -47.5px no-repeat; }
Thanks for reading
The :active selector is when you have the mouse key pressed down. Not when you are at the actual link location.
Try defining the background-image on the links inside the nav. Also a background-repeat: no-repeat causes problems when using negative positioning.
Here is a reduced test-case

I've been trying to get multiple background images on my page but I couldn't get more than 2, so I started to think that I might use divs instead. But when I use divs I got like 5 white pixels left at the top and and sides of the screen, that was until I changed the position to absolute but then my navbar was stuck behind the div... If anyone could please help me fixing my issue.
My code isn't that good, but this is what I have at the moment:
#P1Tekstvlak1_1 {
background-image: url("DakB1.jpg");
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
/** — Navbar —*/
#nav {
color: FFFFFF;
opacity: 0.9;
}
#nav_wrapper {
width: auto;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
}
#nav ul {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
position: fixed;
min-width: 200px;
text-align: center;
background-color: #B50B26;
}
#nav ul li {
display: inline-block;
}
#nav ul li:hover {
color: white;
text-align: center;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #FFFFFF;
}
#nav ul li a,
visited {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 20px;
display: block;
padding: 15px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#nav ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
}
<div id="nav">
<div id="nav_wrapper">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Over</li>

<li>Nieuwbouw</li>
<li>Vacatures</li>
<li>WKA</li>

Remove the absolute positioning and then apply a CSS reset like the one here . Browsers have some styling attributes it applies by default for accessibility purposes. You should remove them. I do this before starting to build any web UI.
Note: Absolute positioning will stack elements versus applying layout to them. That is why you are seeing it behind your NAV
I'm trying to get a website up and I'm using CSS to get it designed but I am unfamiliar with navbars and getting stuff side by side. I used a "float: left" for my image (logo) and well the text aligned but, it seems like I cannot fully click on the image anymore since it's also something that can be clicked using the tag. So, any ideas? My code:
CSS:
#navbar {
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
background-color: black;
opacity: 0.7;
display: fixed;
}
#navbar img {
opacity: 1;
float: left;
}
#navbar img:hover {
opacity: 0.7;
}
#navbar img a
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#navbar ul
{
position: relative;
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding: 8px 0 0 0;
color: white;
font-size: 1.5em;
}
#navbar ul a
{
display:block;
width:60px;
}
#navbar li
{
display:inline;
}
HTML:
<div id="navbar">
<img src="logo.png"/>
<ul> <li>Hello</li> <li>World</li>
</ul>
</div>
Hi Please see the below html and css
HTML:
<div id="navbar">
<ul>
<li><img src="logo.png"/></li>
<li>Hello World</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS:
#navbar {
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
background-color: black;
opacity: 0.7;
}
#navbar img {
opacity: 1;
}
#navbar img:hover {
opacity: 0.7;
}
#navbar img a
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#navbar ul li
{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding: 8px;
color: white;
font-size: 1.5em;
}
#navbar ul li
{
display:inline-block;
}
Please check the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Luncqwn3/3/
I have cleaned up your html and css
I have placed the logo ,as well as the text in the ul li and given
display:inline-block which will make them appear next to each other
in a single line.
Please try using hexadecimal codes for color like #000 or #fff
instead of specifying white,black,green etc.
There is no such thing as display:fixed, please see w3schools
site for better understandong.
I removed float:left for the img tag , because i achieved
bringing the logo and text next to each pther using
display:inline-block for the ul li.
I am trying to use this image for the navigation but this is my first time working with sprites and I can't seem to get it to work. The main image shows up but the hover states do not work, and the cursor does not indicate that they are even links. I know there are other ways to do this without using an image sprite, but for the sake of troubleshooting, just pretend they don't exist.
I am a noob when it comes to html and css which doesn't help any either. If somebody can please tell me how stupid I am I would greatly appreciate it!
(It won't let me post the image)

/End CSS/
There are several problems with your CSS code:
#mainNavigation a should be #main-navigation a
#main-navigation li is assigned display:inline and later display:block. You need the latter in this case for the A elements to be as high as the LI elements..
height:45 should be height:45px
I think you need to take this line out: text-indent: -9999em;
It would be better to only use background-position in those #id a:hover rules and put the background: url(...) no-repeat in a rule for #main-navigation a:hover.
Saw this www.workatplay.com/ website, and got fascinated on how simple and nice stuff can look. I wish to make exactly like the header above.
With the header I am reffering to this:
http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/619/header1o.png
And how the links + the "[workatplay.com]" logo is set up at the right.
I tried looking at the source & css/source for learning, but It doesnt seem to be there. The part where the nav-sub(the pink bar) gets colordefined(css) and splitted.
Is the whole header a background itself? Why cant i find it in the css or anywhere else to know how they have done.
How can i make a header like this?

Using Google Chrome, right click and select "Inspect Element". There is a task pane called "computed css" that will tell you exactly what the browser is displaying no matter how the css got there (default, inline, external). I use that to debug css I'm developing all the time. Other browsers may have similar features.
As to how to replicate it? The css would be rather simple. Two floated divs for each row. Inside each div would be two additional divs, one floated left and one floated right. Play with the margins until you get the spacing you like.
width: 100%;
background-color: {color you want};
margin-left: ____;
margin-right: ____;
etc
As for the logo, research css's vertical-align attribute. This, couple with font-size should give you the effect you want.
Well at workplay.com there is css file http://workplay.com/files/css/css_09edd7837a8690967d3b6d7e136222f6.css which you can locate by viewing source.
if you are using firefox then download and install Firebug Plug-in. similarly if you are using IE there is similar plug-in available from Microsoft "IE Developer Toolbar". or chrome or safari comes with Web Page Inspector tool . all are simple to use
just point with pointer from this plug-in and click on one the element for which you want to know css or HTML or JavaScript details.
here you can experiment with this by changing and see result instantly.
copy and paste the following code in your editor, the color and fonts are not the same but it look nearly likes your header
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
font : 20px Arial;
margin: 0px;
}
div#header {
background : black;
color: white;
padding-top : 25px;
}
/*The title*/
div#header h1 {
float: right;
margin-right: 100px;

}
div#header li {
float: left;

}
div#pink_area{
background: pink;
margin-top; 0px;

}
div#pink_area li {
float: left;
width: 45%;
line-heigth: 20px;
text-align : center;
padding : 10px
}
</style>

Please see http://jeaffreygilbert.com/workatplayheader.html
and the accepted question answer CSS: How to make this topheader?
As you can see all links(services, toolbox, and so including the work[at]play logo + contact us) is in this:

I wish to have normal html links.. so I have normal services. And it have anything to do with the sprite-nav.png.
Those already HMTL links, just wrapped with list. All you need to do is only modify the CSS.
I did it for you, you can replace old style with this one:
CSS:
/* Resetter */
ol, ul, li, a {
background: transparent;
border: 0px;
font-size: 100%;
margin: 0px;
outline: 0px;
padding: 0px;
vertical-align: baseline;
}
ul, li {
list-style-type: none;
}
/* Body */
body {
background-image: url(http://www.workatplay.com/sites/all/themes/play/css/schemes/pink/bg-home.png);
font:13px Verdana;
}
/* Header */
.header {
margin: 0px auto;
position: relative;
width: 1000px;
}
.header ul li {
float: left;
}
.header ul li a {
background-position: 0% 0%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
cursor: pointer;
display: block;
color:white;
text-decoration:none;
padding:10px;
}
.header ul li:hover {
background:red;
}
/* Nav */
ul#nav {
height: 80px;
margin-top: 80px;
-webkit-padding-start: 10px;
display: block;
}
ul#nav li.home {
float: right;
}
/* Sub Nav */
ul#nav-sub {
background: transparent url(http://www.workatplay.com/sites/all/themes/play/css/schemes/pink/sprite-nav.png) no-repeat scroll 0px -160px;
}
ul#nav-sub {
background-position: 0px -160px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 40px;
}
ul#nav-sub li {
margin-top:10px;
}
ul#nav-sub li.contact {
float: right;
}
If you don't want to use CSS sprites, but instead use that nav bar as a whole image, then u can use map tag to create a map over that image with links to separate pages. Here comes an example:
<map id="headermap" name="headermap">
<area shape="rect" coords="43, 57, 119, 97" href="services.html" alt="Go to services" />
and so on...
</map>
<img src="07jVk.png" alt="" usemap="#headermap" />
Well, I'm not sure if I completely understand your question, but I hope it's what you're looking for.
For detailed information about map, please refer to W3Schools website.
