I'm trying to design a horizontal menu just using CSS
Please refer to the following
http://jsfiddle.net/aUYca/
The CSS Classes are
li.navMenuParent: A Top Level Menu Item
li.navMenuActiveParent: A Top Level ACTIVE menu item
li.navMenuNode: A Top Level Menu Item that doens't have child items
li.Active: A Child level ACTIVE menu item
I want the menu to always display the child level menu when the parent has a navMenuActiveParent element. (The intial state hover over 2Parent)
.navmenu ul li.navMenuActiveParent > ul
{
display: inline;
left: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
However i want that submenu hidden when the user hovers over a top level menu item WITHOUT children. (Hover over the HOME menu item)
.navmenu li.navMenuParent ul
{
display: none; -- I want this applied to ALL <ul> under .navMenu
}
I want the Submenu to show the correct submenu when the user hovers over a top level menu item WITH children. (Hover over 1Parent)
.navmenu li.navMenuParent:hover ul, .navmenu li.navMenuParent.hover ul
{
position: absolute;
display: inline;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
I can't seem to get this to work with pure CSS.
Thanks for any help!
The trick is to apply the right effects to the right elements with as little markup as possible.

Mind you I didn't reset most of the stuff because jsFiddle does that for you and I would reccommend a reset css file by default too if you're not like, a god, at css.
It only dies in quirks mode in IE, but it's easy to prevent people from viewing your website in quirks mode by keeping to the standards and/or using X-UA-Compatible header (google it).
I trust you can figure the rest out yourself, else let me know :)
(oh btw you better be using a shorttag for that background arrow in a menu item background: color url('path.jpg') posx posy repeat;)

Inherited a educational organization website and running into an issue with a dropdown submenu getting clipped by an inner-content div. It looks like there is a z-index of 100 for that inner-content div, but no matter what I set the submenu z-index to I can't get it to layer over the div.
The menu item that is getting clipped is Connect > Interest Section (IS) > *Clipped Menu (there should be 5 visible links).
The organization URL is http://minnetesol.org/.
Clipped subnav element
if you change the following it will work but there is more at play in the styles then z-index:-
#main-nav ul ul li ul {
left: 250px;
top: -50px;
}
#content {
margin: 0 auto -40px;
}
You would need to tweak the logo in the header after making these changes.
It looks like a z-indexing issue - #content #inner-content has a z-index of 100, so you'll need to do
#head{
z-index: 101;
}
I'd also recommend lowering your #inner-content z-index to 1 and #head to 2 just to prevent more z-index issues in the future.
What is the best no JS way (most commont browsers friendly) to achieve this?
I have found a few related questions & answers:
width: 100% / number_of_li-s_in_ul;
http://jsfiddle.net/qx4WG/ ("static" calculated size for each li) - unable to use due different sizes of li
li {display: table-cell;}
UPDATE: http://jsfiddle.net/jwJBd/1035/ -> works good, but I'm also using sub-menus and position: relative; doesn't work here to position the sub-menu below current li. When position is set to static it enlarges the parent LI every time it's set to display:block;
display: box;
never used it before, just read a few articles and it looks like the browser support is minimal
If i understood your question correctly, you want to display evenly menu elements like a table would do AND be able to display css sub-menus using absolute and relative positioning.
Your jsfiddle was close, the only thing i had to fix was the positioning of the sub-menu
.sub-menu {
display: none;
/*left: 0;*/ /* i removed this */
position: absolute;
/* PLAY with this */
}
jsFiddled here
[post edit]
It would also be relevant to set your <li> parent with a table-layout:fixed property. This way, <li> will be set to equal width.
#horizontal-style {
display: table;
width: 100%;
table-layout:fixed; /* try this */
}
I created a dropdown menu for my Wordpress website. In this jsfiddle you can find the HTML and CSS code: http://jsfiddle.net/N5H4c/
see jsfiddle
I have a CSS problem there. I created the dropdown menu but when I hover 'Menu item One' it stretches and gains more width. That should not be. The sub menu items can be larger but the menu item itself shouldn't change the size. Further there is this yellow background everywhere around it when I hover the menu and I would like to remove it.
You need to update
#menu ul {
position: absolute;
background: #f7e600;
}
check jsfiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/N5H4c/5/
Add
position: absolute;
top: 38px; // your menu's height
left: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
to #menu ul : http://jsfiddle.net/N5H4c/2/
I've read replies for similar problems to mine, and I believe I've tried the steps mentioned but I'm still having problems with my dropdown menu disappearing when mouse off.
I've removed the formatting of the dropdown just so the code is bare bones, please take a look:

If you mouse over past productions you'll see my problem.
Thanks in advance for what probably is quite a simple fix, it's just alluding me!
Cheers,
Wes.
In the rule for your dropdown uls, use padding-top: <#>px; rather than top: 45px; to put spacing between the menu header and your list. The top value should be no more than the height of the menu header, otherwise you'll create a gap between it and the list, which will remove the list's visibility as soon as the cursor moves off the header and over the gap.
Try this one on style.css line 89
I have changed the top position of ul. The problem is there is a gap between your a tag (Past Products) and dropdown ul
#menu ul ul {
margin: 0 auto;
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
visibility: hidden;
width: 90px;
}
You're pushing your submenu too far from your main menu item, just declare it 100% to push your submenu exactly below your main menu item to fix the problem:
#menu ul ul {
top: 100%; /* fix */
}
I have a css driven dropdown menu, and in Chrome when I hover over the last option the whole thing jumps to the left slightly. I assume it's because the dropdown menu is adding to the overall width of the main list even though it's styled to float. Is there any way to fix this? (it's not doing it in firefox interestingly)
I've noticed by using webdeveloper to outline elements that the last li appears to get wider when it's hovered, but none of the others do.
the applicable sourcecode is here:
http://jsfiddle.net/WsAEW/
It worked for me changing this:
#menu ul li {
display: inline;
position: relative;
}
to this:
#menu ul li {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
Here is a modified jsfiddle. I think the issue is fixed. Give it a try.
http://jsfiddle.net/WsAEW/5/
BTW, I only changed the following style. The 'float left' gets the elements to line up horizontally and the 'display: block' gets the top element to size to include the drop down menu.
#menu ul li {
float: left;
display: block;
position: relative;
}
