I have a very strange image hover problem in Google Chrome.
When I hover the mouse over the menu, I get my background image in Mozilla and IE, but not in Chrome.
I used the following CSS script for the menu item.
.content_resize { padding-right:0; padding-top:16px; width:930px;background-color:#fff; }
.content .mainbar { float:left; width:630px;}
.content .newstick { float:center; width:650px;}
.content .mainbar img { margin-bottom:24px; padding:4px; border:1px solid #b7b7b7; background-color:#fff;}
.content .mainbar img.fl { float:left; margin-right:12px;}
.content .mainbar .article, .content .sidebar .gadget { margin:0; padding:0 0 16px 0;}
.content .sidebar { float:right; width:276px;}
ul.sb_menu, ul.ex_menu { margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none; color:#959595;}
ul.sb_menu li, ul.ex_menu li { margin:0; }
ul.sb_menu li { padding:4px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e3e3e3; width:220px;}
ul.ex_menu li { padding:4px 0 8px;}
ul.sb_menu li a, ul.ex_menu li a { color:#5f5f5f; text-decoration:none; margin-left:-16px; padding-left:5px;}
ul.sb_menu li a:hover, ul.ex_menu li a:hover { color:#FFFFFF; font-weight:bold; display:block; width:200px ; height:25px; background:url(images/menu_bg.gif) no-repeat left top;}
ul.sb_menu li a:hover { text-decoration:underline;}
ul.ex_menu li a:hover { text-decoration:none;}
.content .scroll { float:left; background:url(images/scroll_bg.gif) no-repeat left top; display:block; margin-left:35px; height:200px; width:180px; OVERFLOW: hidden;background-color:transparent;}
It's working fine with Internet Explorer and Mozilla. While Its not showing up the background image for the menu on hovering in chrome. Can anyone Help me please?
Not too late for me to answer, I hope?
This is happening because display:block; is being triggered on hover, which WebKit doesn't seem to like. It should work if you move the display:block; property from ul.sb_menu li a:hover, ul.ex_menu li a:hover to ul.sb_menu li a, ul.ex_menu li a
While you're at it, it would probably make sense to move width:200px; and height:25px; to the same place as well. This shouldn't affect how it appears in IE, Firefox or Opera, by the way.
You are simply having the same issue as on this thread: chrome does not render gif background image
GIF images are not render correctly by chrome if they are applied on hover (ie. img:hover).
So you have a couple of options:
If your images are not animated: change the format of your images
If your images are animated: use a work around, see answers of question chrome does not render gif background image

The following CSS code creates a NAV bar with some sample boxes within a container.
I was having problems with the Hover staying on so with some advice from here I included the extra code (second block of code down)
.dropdown>ul>li>a:hover {margin-bottom:20px;}
This extra code worked well
However it has had a side effect on my DIV boxleft in that in wont stay left - as I move the mouse across the NAV bar it moves with it......... I just want to keep DIV boxleft on the left hand side. Can you help? Many thanks.

Rather than address this band-aid fix, let's address the root problem!
To begin, you don't need that margin-bottom: 20px thing. That was never the cause of your initial problem. Rather, it was due to the fact that your .dropdown bar is 40px in height, but your actual dropdowns are absolutely positioned at 41px from the top. If the browser registers a mouse event while the mouse is over that 1px gap, the dropdown will close.
Now, it seems like you want that 41px so a border: 1px solid #666666 on your .dropdown bar will appear. We can do that still, but we'll just be adding that border to your hover menu.
And finally, let's get some best practices going. Padding can be useful, but padding for this use case sucks. Its far easier and more accurate to instead use line-height to achieve the height and spacing in our <a> tags rather than padding, and it allows us to do away with the extra padding-top and padding-bottom declarations on your site title! By setting line-height to 40px, we immediately match the height of the .dropdown bar at all times (and if you're using something like LESS or SASS, it becomes a great variable to reuse).
With all that being said, here's the updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/2r5Mz/
One more thing that I would also recommend doing is moving the entire .dropdown container out of #container. The reason for this is #container has overflow: hidden set, which can mean chopping off your dropdown if the content isn't of sufficient height. Simply moving this .dropdown out of that div solves the issue.
I'm using the Yahoo CSS reset, and all of my CSS uses pixel values rather than relative measures like ems. You'll notice that the bottom right corner of the div containing the form is shifted in Chrome from where it is in FireFox.

The text size for the browser was set > 100% (not page zoom). This caused the rendering to be wonky on my machine and also explains why it couldn't be replicated by others.
I cant replicate the difference either.
Did you clear cache in chrome? Try reloading by shift+f5.
I assume it should look like the second screenshot.

Adjust the buttons css right propperty and it should be fine in both browsers, at least it works on my end.
Also consider maybe doing this layout without everything being positioned absolutely.
#submitBtn{
position:absolute;
right:45px;
top:430px;
width:80px;
}
I have a pure CSS implementation of horizontal menus that works fine on browsers on a computer. The website is www.intercessionsp.org. However, on touch devices (specifically, I have tried Safari on iPad and iPhone), the menus do not work. Touching them causes no response at all, if there is a submenu (the Home menu item works fine). I have tried to implement two solutions:
1. using onclick="return true", based on terraling's solution in "iPad/iPhone Touch Event on Hover CSS" question here on stackoverflow.
2. adding #ios ul { display: none; } and #ios li:hover ul { display: block; } based on a post by Philip Renich on elfboy.com called "Making CSS Drop Down Menus Work on the iPhone".
Neither worked.
Here is the relevant part of my css file:
/* horizontal menus */
#nav, .nav, #nav .nav li {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
#nav li {
float:left;
display:inline;
cursor:pointer;
list-style:none;
padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;
border:1px #000 solid;
position:relative;
background: #990000;
}
#nav li ul.first {
left:-1px;
top:100%;
}
li, li a {
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
}
#nav .nav li {
width:100%;
text-indent:10px;
line-height:30px;
margin-right:10px;
border-top:1px #000 solid;
border-bottom:1px #000 solid;
border-left:none;
border-right:none;
background:#990000;
onclick="return true"
}
#nav li a {
display:block;
width:inherit;
height:inherit;
}
ul.nav {
display:none;
}
#nav li:hover > a, #nav li:hover {
color:#990000;
background:#fff;
}
li:hover > .nav {
display:block;
position:absolute;
width:200px;
top:-2px;
left:30%;
z-index:1000;
border:1px #000 solid;
}
li:hover {
position:relative;
z-index:2000;
}
#basic li {
color:#000;
}
Since I already have display:block in my li:hover > .nav, I tried adding it to #nav li:hover > a, #nav li:hover (without expecting this one to work) and to li:hover, but neither worked. I should add that I looked at Renich's comment about setting a width value, but since I already had width values set, this didn't appear to be useful.
I would like to stay with a pure CSS implementation.
Your menu relies on the css selector :hover in order to show the list items. In order for those to show on a mobile device like an iphone the user must be able to click. You can try wrapping the text on the first level on your menu with <a> tags. For example: About Us

I have created a horizontal nav menu in css, floated left. It works fine.
When I change the float to right (and reverse the order of top level li's), everything is fine except that the sub-menus are shifted left a bit (and so don't align vertically with the top-level menu items).
I tried changing the left command in li:hover > .nav, but that didn't help. Can anyone see what needs to change to get vertical alignment of the top level nav items and the items in the sub-menus?
Thanks.
My CSS is:
#nav, .nav, #nav .nav li {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
#nav li {
float:right;
display:inline;
cursor:pointer;
list-style:none;
padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;
border:1px #000 solid;
position:relative;
background: #990000;
}
#nav li ul.first {
left:-1px;
top:100%;
}
li, li a {
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
}
#nav .nav li {
width:100%;
text-indent:10px;
line-height:30px;
margin-right:10px;
border-top:1px #000 solid;
border-bottom:1px #000 solid;
border-left:none;
border-right:none;
background:#990000;
}
#nav li a {
display:block;
width:inherit;
height:inherit;
}
ul.nav {
display:none;
}
#nav li:hover > a, #nav li:hover {
color:#990000;
background:#fff;
}
li:hover > .nav {
display:block;
position:absolute;
width:200px;
top:-2px;
left:50%;
z-index:1000;
border:1px #000 solid;
}
li:hover {
position:relative;
z-index:2000;
}
#basic li {
color:#000;
}
When switching from float: left to float: right, did you exchange all left-related properties to right and right to left?
Examples:
replacing margin-left by margin-right
exchanging values. margin 1px 2px 3px 4px becomes margin 1px 4px 3px 2px
In addition to trying the answer above, you could bump the sub menus over using position:relative and either the right or left properties. They will move the menus however many pixels you specify relative to the position they are falling naturally.
Helo!
Dropdown in IE7 displayed not correct. When I put mouse over it's appears like inline block and it's too far to the right. When I put mouse over first element in ul, second one disappears. And near each element is weird angle, which is angle of that menu which appears after I put mouse over.
any help or advice will be appreciated!

I just threw this together but how's this?

Obviously I haven't tested it in IE7 but it's how I tend to do my dropdown menus.
You might have to throw in a bit of jquery to get the menu to display in IE7, here's an example from a site I built a few weeks ago.
