So I'm, attempting to create a drop down menu on my website and for the most part have been successful, however I'm having one issue.
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li>content</li>
<li>
content
<ul>
<li>subcontent</li>
<li>subcontent</li>
<li>subcontent</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>content</li>
<li>content</li>
</ul>
</div>
Above is the content
body{
margin: 0px;
}
ul, li{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#nav{
width: 100%;
background-color: #000000;
color: #ff0000;
}
#nav ul{
position: absolute;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
cursor: pointer;
}
#nav ul li{
min-width: 100px;
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
#nav ul li:hover{
background-color: #0000ff;
}
#nav ul li ul li{
display: none;
margin-left: -1px;
margin-top: -1px;
}
#nav ul li:hover ul li{
display: block;
}
And that is the CSS
Basically, because I'm positioning my content as 'absolute' in order to stop anything from being misplaced when the dropout menu is used, the layer black layer which acts as the navigation bar section ends up disappearing. Is there any way around this, or do I need to restructure my website completely?
This is what is looks like in a browser:
Try adding background-color to ul, li
ul, li{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #000;
}
or give #nav a height
#nav{
width: 100%;
background-color: #000000;
color: #ff0000;
height: 50px;
}
Never mind, I realized it was because I hadn't set a height in #nav.

I'm trying to create a dropdown menu for my personal website but something doesn't seem to go right.
HTML:
<header class="mainheader">
<nav class="nav">
<ul>
<li>Home</li><li>
League</li><li>
<ul class="nav-dropdown">
<li>bbva</li>
<li>barclays premier league</li>
</ul>
Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
CSS:
.mainheader, .header-text, .header-text-soccer {
background-color: green;
margin-left: 60px;
margin-right: 60px;
margin-top: 20px;
height: 60px;
border-radius: 6px;
}
.mainheader nav ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
}
.mainheader nav ul li {
display: inline-block;
padding: 20px;
color: white;
}
.nav ul li:hover {
background-color: #41a608;
height: 20px;
border-radius: 2px;
}
The last few lines of code are the problem I think. The hover part covers every line-item that is within the .nav , but I don't know how to seperate the main navigation links from the sub navigation links (which should drop down) in css.
Can anyone explain to me what code I should add to let it work?
thanks.
I modified your complete code:
Here is it, There are several modification. This is may be helpful for you. You need to hide your drop-down option first and find out the time when firing it out and also how to fire.
And one important thing, you have to set your drop-down options as absolute, so that it is the child of some main option/ menu.
Modified HTML:
<header class="mainheader">
<nav class="nav">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>
League
</li>
<li>Dropdown
<ul class="nav-dropdown">
<li>bbva</li>
<li>barclays premier league</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
Modified CSS:
.mainheader, .header-text, .header-text-soccer {
background-color: green;
margin-left: 60px;
margin-right: 60px;
margin-top: 20px;
height: 60px;
border-radius: 6px;
position: relative;
}
.mainheader nav ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
}
.mainheader nav ul li ul{
display: none;
}
.mainheader nav ul li {
display: inline-flex;
padding: 20px;
color: white;
}
.nav ul li:hover {
background-color: #41a608;
border-radius: 2px;
}
.nav ul li:hover ul{
background: #aaa none repeat scroll 0 0;
display: block;
margin-left: -20px;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 60px;
width: 200px;
}
.mainheader nav ul li ul li{
box-sizing: border-box;
color: white;
display: inline-block;
padding: 20px;
width: 100%;
}
I suppose this is what you need:

Your CSS was a mess. Check out a guide on how to make CSS dropdown menus: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_dropdowns.asp
This gives you the basic setup:
nav ul ul {
position:absolute;
display:none;
padding-left:0;
}
nav ul li {
display:inline-block;
height:60px;
}
nav ul ul li {
display:block;
}
nav ul li a {
text-decoration:none;
color:white;
display:block;
padding:21px;
}
nav ul li:hover ul {
display:block;
}
The rest is bells and whistles. Good luck.
I have a dropdown list item in my navbar and can't get the dropdown section to align underneath the parent link. I am trying to use just css and know I've done it before, it's just stumping me at the moment. None of the other examples I've come across use the same menu format so it's been troubling trying to force fit pieces of code. Please help me with this easy solution

Working Example

Firstly, you should use a reset css of some kind to remove the default margin / padding attached to ul & li.
Then validate your HTML, it contained a number of errors such as missing the opening ul etc.
Then it's just a matter of using position:absolute and appropriate values.
top:100% will place the menu directly below the li parent (with position:relative) regardless of the height of the li.
left:0 will align the left edge of the submenu to the left side of the parent li.
#navbar {
margin: 0px auto;
text-align: right;
}
ul,
li {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#navbar li {
list-style: none;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
#navbar a {
background-color: #862D59;
font-size: 18px;
width: 60px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 10px 15px;
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
display: block;
}
#navbar a:hover {
background-color: #602040;
border-bottom: solid 4px #969;
}
#navbar li ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
}
#navbar li:hover ul {
display: block;
}
<div id="navbar">
<ul>
<li>Home
</li>
<li>Link2
</li>
<li>Link3
</li>
<li>Link4
<ul>
<li>SubLink1
</li>
<li>SubLink2
</li>
<li>SubLink3
</li>
<li>SubLink4
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Link5
</li>
</ul>
</div>
I've written my own minimal CSS without the styling, try replacing your whole CSS with this -
I've also edited your HTML by removing the comments and <br /> tags
div#navbar li {
display: inline-block;
}
div#navbar li ul {
width: 200px;
position: absolute;
display: none;
top: 10px;
}
div#navbar li ul li {
display: block;
width: 150px;
}
div#navbar li:hover ul {
display: block;
}
ul,ol,li {
margin-left: 0;
padding-left: 0;
}
Here is the fiddle
I am trying to develop a website which contains dropdown menu and in the next division below menu there is a slider division but when mouse is hover on menu the submenu displays and the slider division is shifts down.
So can anyone suggest how I can accomplish the task
The code is as follows
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#header{
height: 90px;
}
#navigation{
height: 30px;
background-color: #0099FF;
border: 1px solid #0099FF;
border-radius: 10px;
z-index:1000;
}
ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
ul li {
display: block;
position: relative;
float: left;
padding-right: 40px;
}
li ul {
display: none;
}
ul li a {
display: block;
padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFFFFF;
font:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
}
ul li a:hover {
background: #00CCFF;
}
li:hover ul {
display: block;
z-index: 1000;
}
li:hover li {
float: none;
}
li:hover a {
background: #00CCFF;
}
li:hover li a:hover {
background: #D2F5FF;
}
#drop-nav li ul li {
border-top: 0px;
}
#clearmenu{
clear: left;
}
#sliderandnews{
height: 300px;
}
#slidermain{
height: 300px;
width: 65%;
float: left;
}
#news{
height: 300px;
width: 33%;
border: 2px solid #F0FFFF;
border-radius: 20px;
float: right;
background-color: #F0FFFF;
}
.clear{
height: 40px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
</div>
<div id="navigation">
<ul id="drop-nav">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About Us</li>
<li>Academic Programs
<ul>
<li>BBA</li>
<li>BCA</li>
<li>BE</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Faculties</li>
<li>Admission</li>
<li>Downloads</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div id="sliderandnews">
<div id="slidermain">
This section is changes its position on mousehover
</div>
<div id="news">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The problem is that your elements are relative positioned. So, when the submenu appears, all elements below are shifted down. You can add absolute positioning to navigation bar, and determine its displacement from top using the top property in CSS. This allows you to eliminate #header (which has only the role to give a top margin).
#navigation{
position:absolute;
top:90px;
}
Similarly you can do with the #sliderandnews block. Since you've given an absolute positioning to navigation menu, navigation is removed from HTML elements flow inside the page. To compensate this, you have to add a proper top margin to this element.
#sliderandnews{
height: 300px;
margin-top:190px;
}
And here's the final fiddle.
I'm having trouble with adding space to the hovered "home" right/left.
Adding proper spacing so after the hovered section of "home" appears that about and the other pages would follow.
CSS:
nav {
width:460px;
height:50px;
background-color:#0066ff;
float: left;
margin: 15px 0 0 324px;
position: fixed;
}
nav ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: fixed;
width:493px;
border: 1px solid green;
}
nav li {
float: left;
text-align: left;
margin:0;
padding: 0 0 0 24px;
display: block;
width: 51px;
height: 50px;
}
nav li:first-child {
float: left;
text-align: left;
margin:0;
padding: 0 15px 0 0;
display: block;
height: 50px;
}
nav a:first-child {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 50px;
min-width:51px;
display:block;
position: fixed;
line-height:50px;
float: left;
text-align: center;
}
nav a {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 50px;
min-width:51px;
display:block;
position: fixed;
line-height:50px;
float: left;
text-align: center;
}
nav ul li a:link, nav ul li a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color:#fff;
display:block;
}
nav ul li a:hover, nav ul li a:active {
background: #929292;
text-decoration: none;
display:block;
}
This problem has been giving me headaches for hours.
Link Update
The blue space beside about can't happen.
Nick, your issue is in the li:first-child selector. Specifically the padding attribute, where it clears the padding, where you're missing the spacing.
Many of your :first-child selectors are redundant, and don't need to be re-specified.
Mixing position:fixed with float:left is generally not a good idea as your CSS will be fighting layout structure.
You only need a position:fixed for the main container, the rest the nav's children will be relative to that.
There's a lot of unnecessary padding and such, you should use your browser's DOM inspector to play with the layout.
Check this JSFiddle that's cleaned it up.
A lot of the time, a small <div> is placed to the left of the "home" link to push it over like so:
#fillerdiv{
width:20px;
background-color:#0066ff;
}
then you could place it like so:
<nav>
<ul>
<div id="fillerdiv"></div>
<li> Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Work</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Clients</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
That produces this:
Or you could give the "home" button a specific class and add extra padding for it alone.
#home{
padding-left:20px;
}
And the HTML:
<nav>
<ul>
<li id="home"> Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Work</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Clients</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
I played around your code a bit and tried to simplify it. I hope you don't mind.
JSFiddle

I have a sub navigation which is placed in two different places on different browsers, and I'm unsure why. I do realise that using margin-top instead of top does fix this but the problem with that is that I have a jQuery slide animation when the sub navigation comes out and it doesn't look nice when I use margin-top since it comes out further up than it is. Here is a picture of the difference:
http://jsfiddle.net/eAqev/ <-- JS Fiddle
HTML:
<div id="navigation">
<ul>
<li><h1>01. About</h1><h2>Learn about us</h2></li>
<li class="button"><h1>02. Products</h1><h2>View our selection of products</h2>
<ul class="scrollDown">
<li><p>Kitchen Worktops</p></li>
<li><p>Upstands/Splashbacks</p></li>
<li><p>Gables/ Panels</p></li>
<li><p>Glass</p></li>
<li><p>High Gloss</p></li>
<li><p>Bathroom Tops</p></li>
<li><p>Sinks/ Taps</p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><h1>03. Contact</h1><h2>Contact us!</h2></li>
<li><h1>04. Gallery</h1><h2>View photos of us</h2></li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS:
#navigation ul {
display: inline;
position: relative;
}
#navigation ul li {
float: left;
width: 200px;
height: 35px;
margin: 10px;
list-style: none;
border-bottom: 3px solid #ccc;
}
#navigation ul li:hover {
border-bottom: 6px solid #eee;
cursor: pointer;
}
#navigation ul ul {
position: absolute;
z-index: 1500;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style:none;
background: #fff;
width: 200px;
top: 60px;
opacity:0.95;
filter:alpha(opacity=95);
-moz-opacity:0.95;
}
You made everything clear Just add the below codes.It will fix your problem
#navigation ul ul {
position: absolute;
z-index: 1500;
margin: 0 !important;
padding: 0 !important;
list-style:none;
background: #fff;
width: 200px;
top: 60px;
opacity:0.95;
filter:alpha(opacity=95);
-moz-opacity:0.95;
}
#navigation ul {
display: inline;
z-index:10;
position: relative;
}
Most probably IE7 will have a buggy environment. This will work fine with IE8+.
Demo
Hi now define your ID #navigation ul display:inline-block; than adjects your id #navigation ul ul in top
As like this
#navigation ul {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
vertical-align: top;
}
#navigation ul ul {
top:48px;
}
Live demo
Different browsers have different default margin & padding on ul/li elements.
Have you tried resetting these all to 0?
#navigation ul, #navigation li {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
Might be you should try css-reset? Just put it at beginning of your css
But it may mess layout so you will need to set some values by yourself.
Try this:
#navigation ul li {float: left;
width: 200px;
line-height:17px;
margin: 10px;
list-style: none;
border-bottom: 3px solid #ccc;
}
