I searched the web but couldn't find a good answer for HTML/CSS designs:
I have a menubar docked to the right of my screen
The menu bar contains select elements (comboboxes) with a fixed width
Sometimes the content of those comboxes is too big to fit that fixed width
Here the current behavior I'm noticing:
in normal position, the choice is simply clipped and that's fine by me
in dropdown position, the dropdown 'box' isn't clipped but is aligned to the left side of the combobox; as a consequence it goes beyond the right side of the screen and part of it is simply unreadable
What I would like to do is force the dropdown box to align with the right of its parent combobox.
Any way to do that in CSS - or even JS I guess but not the preferred solution...?
you'll be out of luck here with pure css.
you could look for a javascript combobox though and style that with css.

As you know, the horisontal scrolling is required it is placed on the bottom of element that is not easy to find when the bottom or element is outside of the view port. Is there any css solution (even with partial support) to change the place of vertical scrollbar?
(there is a jquery plugin for that available that create a mock element on top of overflowed element and keep its scrolling position with the scrollbar of the targeted element, it's not what I am looking for, as the created element make trouble sometimes for styling).
I have a div (it's a popup for an openlayers map, but it could pretty much be any fixed size div), that contains a jquery ui menu (which is wrapped in a ul). The menu doesn't fit inside the div very well, so I'd like to make the menu float above it so that as the menu grows I don't have to grow the size of the containing div. Is this possible?
The containing div is itself positioned absolutely, I've tried setting the ul that represents the menu to position:absolute;z-index:100 but that doesn't work. I've also tried setting overflow:visible with no joy.
This screenshot shows the issue I have:
I've added a jsfiddle that opens a popup when you click the small orange circle, and you can see that the menu inside there is bigger than the containing div.
If you tell me that my answer is not what you mean I will delete it cause I am not sure what you really need to do. You want this scrolls to disappear and if the text is bigger than the popup just to float over no matter it is going outline ?
If this is what you want you have to remove the overflow: auto from .olFramedCloudPopupContent and again to remove overflow: auto from inline style of the element #chicken_contentDiv (I am not sure that you add it with jQuery).
I'm going to create an special floating menu like this site:
http://www.just-eat.co.uk/restaurants-toscana/menu
as you can see, Categories and Your Order menus float in screen so that their position is almost always the same, and they always stick to top of screen (of course after you scroll the page down), how can I create this effect in ASP.NET? I've set my menu style position property as fixed, but in this way, my menu always has the same position, I want my menus to stick to top of screen
Not sure if ASP.NET has such feature by default. Never seen something like that in it. But it could be done easily with CSS position:fixed placed on top most div of your menu block or using plugin like this, for instance. Please note that position:fixed may cause problems in old browsers
Hello Ali you must add stylesheet in order to float your menu, but you don't have property in order to float your menu basicaly
You can keep the position of the div to position:fixed.
By doing that its position will be relative to the position to browser window and it will appear to be fixed.
Here is Sample Fiddle

I have some dropdown menus that are display:none and only show upon click (using jquery). However, there are divs that have been placed in positions that lie "underneath" the dropdown menu. They have to be underneath considering the dropdown must go overtop everything when it it shows up. However, is there anything I can do to "click through" these dropdown divs?
I know that there is "pointer-events:none" But this would seem to disable all clicking on the dropdown menu, which I cannot have.
I've seen 100s of websites with dropdown menus that cover entire sections of their website. However, when not in use, these menus don't block divs that are positioned "underneath" so what's the solution here?
Is it something I need to fix with the positioning of my dropdown menus?
Any and all help is appreciated. It took me forever to even discover the problem. I was so stumped as to why my divs weren't clickable! Then I did "clear:both" and it moved down and finally realized the hidden divs were in the way.
It seems like you're using opacity: 0 on these dropdown divs, which keeps them in place, and block the mouse events from firing on the elements underneath.
You should be hiding them differently, with either of the following:
Use visibility: hidden or display: none (if you want to also hide it from screen readers)
Absolutely position them off the visible viewport, by using a huge negative offset (e.g. -999em).
This will ascertain that they're still readable by screen readers.
Alternatively, you can toggle pointer-events:none together with its visibility, but old IE does not support pointer-events.
I have a dynamic sub-menu that gets programmatically constructed in the code behind. Whenever a large amount of items are added, the scroll arrow appears to allow scrolling of the sub-menu, but when it does appear, it also seems to truncate the menu text because the sub-menu width is not correctly sized to accommodate the text.
The problem is not the scrolling itself; that is working the way I want it to. The problem is that the menu width is shortened and this is truncating the menu text when the scrolling arrows are presented for large menus.
This problem seems to be in IE7, because it is working fine in IE6, the width of the menu is of the appropriate size to fit the text. Has anyone experienced this before and how did you fixed it?
you can wrap the menu in a div and set overflow:scroll on that, but that applies to the entire menu, not the drop-down part. You can't change the drop down part on the standard menu, but it you use the CSS Adapters (http://www.asp.net/cssadapters/) you can change the size and scroll capabilities of the drop-down parts. However, this gives the standard scrolling - you see a scroll bar around the section and you have to scroll manually, it's really not a very nice experience. What you probably want is something that gives an arrow at the top/bottom to allow scrolling as you hover over it, to bring the items into view; this cannot be done without rewriting the menu control. If you need this functionality you might be best to look at a third party menu control, or even one of the ajax frameworks which might have something. jQuery...
