In the above demo, I'd like to show an orange round image BELOW the center of menu item when it is hovered.
However I am not able to show all the image. The bottom is cut.
How can I do it with CSS?
Thanks in advance.
When using display:inline; on the li items, the height attribute you've given is ignored. Put the :hover on the li items istead of the a tags and it works. The height and line-height you've used becomes superfluous.
Updated jsfiddle
Your a tag needs a block specification.
See: http://jsfiddle.net/gUckp/16/.
Note the line display: inline-block; for the #nav a class.
The reason for the image not displaying correctly in your sample is because it was being placed outside of the a tag rendered block size.
EDIT
Firebug helps tremendously in resolving these types of issues. It allows you to inspect elements etc. I'd suggest adding it to your development toolkit.
background: #01291e url(http://demo.chevereto.com/images/hoverorang.png) no-repeat 50%;
See the updated jsfiddle.
Edit: O sorry, that's not what you asked for. Will try again... ;)
Edit 2: Hereby the correct one.
Edit 3: Or this one with a nicer focusrect size. Enjoy!

Hi so I am working on creating a wordpress template from an existing static website.
However I can't seem to get the CSS for the menu to work correctly.
I need a style that is applied to the menu to be applied to all of the li and not have to code each one individually.
The problem is I want to add a background-color to each item (making them look like buttons). If you look at the site again, it puts a huge box rather than putting a small background-color to each item. I hope that makes sense.
You can see the site here: http://lawrences.work/
First, remove your width:149px; on #menu-menu.
Second, on #menu-menu li, remove all margins, and try apply this code
# menu-menu li {
background-color: #FFC0CB;
display: inline;
padding: 10px 20px;
}
Alright, so I've checked it out and it appears to be that the div#logo is causing your menu to be vertically stretched.
I'm not entirely sure as to why since I didn't scan all the CSS or couldn't find anything related to it directly.
Either way I do have an explanation for what actually happened anyways.
So this div.menu-menu-container in your HTML is lexically positioned just below the div#logo - if you inspect element on them you should see highlighting overlap when hovering between the two.
An element that is float: left basically has no height. It is sort-of removed from the document flow unless the div below it has clear: both or the parent has overflow: hidden - both which have their own nasty side-effects.
Anyway, this div#logo caused your div.menu-menu-container to stretch vertically because the div#logo was floated and your div.menu-menu-container wasn't causing it to be quirky.
To fix this I added one property to div.menu-menu-container which should not harm your layout in any way except for keeping these floated elements out of your way.
the property clear: both allows you to clear a float so that the document flow after it turns back to normal. This shrunk your menu down to the size it's supposed to be in the position it's supposed to be in.
EDIT (18-11-2015)
I actually had a choice of using clear: both or float: left - both fix the issue since all floated elements do think about each other, just not about the non-floated elements as much.
clear: both however is the nicest solution in this case because it doesn't change the behaviour of that element specifically whereas floating it does.
Also, the snippet you're going to need for your code to work:
.menu-menu-container {
clear: both; // or float: left; for that matter
}

Good luck
I have tried the following approaches but they do not seem to work for me (I'm sure I am doing something wrong - I need help in figuring out what it is). The image is in the HTML header section (not body).
I have bootstrap in the HEAD section (before the image and it gets picked up from the browser cache so hopefully it gets used for the image in the header)
I have tried adding the following to the CSS for the image (and when it did not work, I tried adding a div around the image and assigned the class to the div):
display:inline;
text-align:center;
margin:auto;
I also tried the following in the CSS when option 2 did not work:
display:inline;
margin:auto;
horizontal-align:center;
I tried display:block in place of display:inline as well. Any thoughts on fixing this (specially without relying on bootstrap would be quite welcome). Thanks in advance!
General css properties for centering elements:
{
display:block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
First, you can't set a margin on an element that is set to display:inline.
Here is a great guide that you should read:
http://www.tipue.com/blog/center-a-div/
Place the image in a div, and then put text-align:center on the div. That's it.

I'm trying to do something pretty simple: an <a> tag with a background image. The code is found here, http://jsfiddle.net/QWatA/
The problem is that for some reason I can't set the width of the <a> tag in this code. If I had just a normal background and set it with a width it works fine. However seems like if I do it this way I have no control over the width. Ideally I want all the links to have highlights of the same width.
The reason I'm doing this is that I want a different background image for each of the links, so I'm forced to define all those a.class1, a.class2 stuff.
Thanks!!
Add display:inline-block; to your 'a' elements. By default 'a' is display:inline and so does not establish box with width/height.

yea c-smile beat me to it just put display: block in your css, however if your going to do a.class1, a.class2 and so on with new pictures put it in your ul li a instead of in the a.class1 a.class2 and so on then you only have to write the code once.
I have been trying to add another button to my navigation bar at http://hawaiiislandpreservationsociety.org/ ,but the layout messes up. What do I need to tweak to get it inline with the rest of the buttons?
Much Appreciated,

#header ul
change the width to 802px;
(then download Firebug)
adding 2px (making it 802px) to the #header ul makes it display correctly for me in firefox.
You mean the problem that "Blog" ends up on its own line? It seems like #go_learn has a padding defined which, combined with the width definition of 200px, ends up making the element actually 202px wide.

On the page above there is an image floated to the left. To the right of it is a list, titled "features". The list items have a background image, however, it isn't appearing. List 2 shows how the background image looks.
Does anyone know how I can make the bullets visible?
I know this is a year old post but others may want to know...
What happens if you are using a content management system and some pages have images & some don't you wouldn't want your list items to be 200px in the content?
You can add this CSS to your UL/OL element:
overflow:hidden;
I hope that helps.
Your image has a float:left property. The list items are therefore rendered "behind" the image.
margin-left:200px;
on the UL element will solve your problem.
Alternatively, you can apply a float:left on your UL-element. This will make it float right to the image, but will make the following content appear on the same line. You can prevent this by clearing the UL-element, or adding element after the UL-element with...
clear:both
...applied to it.
More information about this behaviour can be found at http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html.
This thread is old indeed, but always relevant...
Another alternative solution:
display: inline-block;
Put this on the UL. It forces the entire ul to appear after the float. That way you can have a page with or without the image and it will always display correctly (checked on FF4, IE7 & 8, Chrome 11).
Alternatively, you could use the list-style-image property instead of background-image. I ran into this very problem the other day: the text-wrapping behaviour that floats exhibit on their 'neighbours' only applies to 'content', not background images (for example).
