I would really like to stop the menu items jumping around on this site as the parent item expands to fit its child.
I can get it looking how I want when I add this CSS, forcing the menu items to have fixed widths:
/*Menu item 1*/
#menu-item-117 .sub-menu {right: -125px;}
/*Menu item 2*/
#menu-item-73 {width:45px;}
#menu-item-73 .sub-menu {width:980px!important;right: -10px;}
/*Menu item 3*/
#menu-item-122 {width:65px;}
#menu-item-122 .sub-menu{width:980px!important;right: 165px;}
However, this is clearly not ideal, as the menu needs to be dynamic...
Is there a way to achieve what I want via CSS? I hope so!
I am using the Superfish menu that comes with Theme Hybrid for Wordpress.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
I get your point .. let's see again.
This build uses position: relative/absolute; instead of float: right/left; and it has one flaw mentioned below.
However I haven't test this in old browsers including IE (tested in Chrome & Firefox), but I hope this may provide you some idea to implement it. :)
#primary-menu .menu /* new rule */ {
position: relative;
height: 50px; /* The flaw is you have to fix the menu's height here */
}
#primary-menu ul {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
}
#primary-menu li {
float: left;
list-style: none outside none;
margin-left: 10px;
position: relative;
}
.sub-menu {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #244563;
clear: both;
display: none;
font-size: 0.8em;
overflow: visible;
padding: 5px 0 !important;
position: relative;
right: 0;
text-align: right;
top: 30px !important;
width: 700px !important;
}
.sub-menu li {
display: inline !important;
float: none !important;
padding: 10px 0 !important;
width: auto !important;
}

I am trying to get my top menu to be exactly full width of the screen at all times. Sadly, while it works OK on desktop, it keeps extending beyond the expected width when on mobile.
To give some context: I'm trying to build a child theme of the "Rookie" theme (https://wordpress.org/themes/rookie/).
My goal at this point is to replace the default menu of the theme with a top bar, on which I want the burger menu on the left, logo in the middle and the search button on the right.
This is already done, but for a reason I do not understand, when testing on mobile, the top bar is exceeding the expected 100% width. This can be observed when trying with "Phone 6/7/8" of the Chome dev tools. I also tried with a physical device and got the same result.
The page is https://gornik2.kosimus.eu/
Picture from the dev tools
I spent several hours trying to figure it out and I essentially ran out of ideas at this point. I defined the width to 100%, 100vw and so on, tried max-width, checked parent elements and made sure that the width is not increased anywhere.
Pretty sure there is something incredibly stupid and small I am missing. Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

The pseudo element (:after) added to th tag of the LEAGUE TABLE is causing this issue. This issue can be fixed if the position value changed from "absolute" to "relative".
.sp-data-table .sorting:after {
content: "\f156";
color: transparent;
/* position: absolute; */
position: relative;
}

I am working on a layout for a webshop and am experiencing a problem which seems to be very specific.
There is a dropdown navigation which is design to look kind of a tab with a box under it. The point is, that there is a 1px border line between the tab (first level Menu Item) and the box (second level items) which I can't hide.
I thought about giving the second level box a lower z-index than the first level element, but that didn't changed anything. I read a lot about z-index, how it works and how it NOT works, but nothing was about z-index within one list.
This is how it should looks like and how it really looks like: http://i.stack.imgur.com/xbQ6x.png
I created a codepen, which shows the problem very good, when hovering the first level items: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/bNqJxN
li .dropdown{
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
display: inline;
visibility: hidden;
position: absolute;
padding:0;
margin: 0 0 0 -1px; /*Putting a negativ margin-top here puts the box OVER the parent element :-( */
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid $light-grey;
width: 280px;
height: 200px;
&.right {
right: -1px;
left: auto;
}
.dropdown-1-2 {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
}
I usually solve this issue with z-index to have the bottom of the li to overlap the top of the dropdown.
In your case, I had to remove the * selector for the z-index which came after the li and dropdown which was resetting the z-index to 2 on everything in that navigation. Instead I created just the one stacking context (here's an article on it) for the first nav to appear above the second, and then I gave the ul position relative and the dropdown a z-index of -1 and -1px top margin to move it just behind the unpositioned li.
#mainnav {
...
ul {
#include reduced-list;
...
position: relative;
li .dropdown{
...
margin: -1px 0 0 -1px;
z-index: -1;
...
&#nav1 {
z-index: 2;
}
&#nav2 {
z-index: 1;
}
Sorry, the codepen didn't save.
You can solve it adding a pseudo element to cover the border
li:hover:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 2px;
background-color: white;
bottom: -1px;
left: 0px;
z-index: 999;
}
codepen
Thanks so much!
Both answers solved my problem like a charme!
I created a codepen with the solution here: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/NPpQOq
ul {
#include reduced-list;
position: relative; /* YEAH */
float:right;
li .dropdown{
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
display: inline;
visibility: hidden;
position: absolute;
padding:0;
margin: -1px 0 0 -1px; /* YEAH */
z-index: -1; /* YEAH */
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid $light-grey;
width: 280px;
height: 200px;
&.right {
right: -1px;
left: auto;
}
}
Placing a nested child under a parent element seems to be possible :-)
Searched everywhere, tried several techniques, but haven't found a workable answer yet.
Goal: Display a 'pin' background image when hovering over the navigation item.
Issue: Part of pin disappears when it extends past the a:hover tag because the background image is taller than the item
Current css is below. All parent elements are set to overflow: visible
.menu-primary a {
display: block;
padding: 6px 0 6px 0;
text-align: center;
width: 184px;
height: auto;
margin: 0 5px 0 5px;
position: relative;;
overflow: visible;
}
.menu-primary li#menu-item-23 a {
background-color: #dfe6ab;
margin-left: 0;
overflow: visible;
}
.menu-primary li#menu-item-23 a:hover,
.menu-primary li#menu-item-23:hover a {
background: url(images/pin.png) no-repeat left 0px top -7px;
background-color: #dfe6ab;
color: #000000;
overflow: visible;
height: auto;
}
All suggestions welcome. Thank you.
Background's in CSS don't act like Html Elements. If you need the anchor to display it, but the anchor is too small. You'll need to change the size of the anchor tag to the size of your image. Otherwise you can change the background-size of the image inside to fit within the anchor.
Also, you've got a duplicate semi-colon(;) in .menu-primary a, see:
position: relative;;
I've a problem with my Dropdown menu. When you hover it, it will push the Footer away, and it will create a freaky effect that you can scroll the whole page. (This is only when the dropdown reach the footer)
I have tried lots of things like max-height etc, but it wont work.
Website:
{fixed}
If you hover the 'Zippo' menu item, the freaky things will come.
How can i fix this?
Thanks!

You can set your dropdown menu position as absolute :
#nav li ul {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 25px;
z-index: 99; /* edited */
}
Change the following class from :
#nav li ul {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
display: none;
}
to
#nav li ul {
display: none;
left: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 24px;
z-index: 100;
}
Footer drop down because of the height of the menu nav height
to over come this you need to pull menu out of the normal Dom by position it
#menu {position: relative;}
#nav {z-index: 100;position: absolute; }
I am a bit pressed for time so I am sorry that this is brief.
I am trying to align these six li tags that act as drop downs, IE7, IE8 and all the good browsers work fine but IE6 continues to be stubborn and put them all over the place, you can find the page here.
I am using this CSS to place them inline.
/* I beleive this is the important bit? FROM HERE */
li.rathdown {
position: relative;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display: block;
}
/* TO HERE */
li.rathdown * {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: left;
}
li.rathdown ul {
width: inherit;
display: none;
position: absolute;
z-index: 100;
}
li.rathdown-sub {
position: relative;
}
li.rathdown-sub ul {
z-index: 99;
}
li.rathdown img.arrow {
float: right;
margin-right: 3px;
padding: 3px;
}
I also have another problem, in IE7 and IE8 the bottom of the page curls up slightly, any ideas?
Thanks for any suggestions you can give.
I have fixed them both now. The gap at the bottom was due to the height of the page, I think it was being shortend in IE by somethings padding (???) and the menu was fixed by applying the styles to all of the li's.
Sorry for the bad answer. It's a bit of an edge case really.
