Have dividers smaller in height than clickable item - html

I'm having a problem with some designing issues on a horizontal menu.
I received following mockup (just showing part of it) which I need to translate into html:
Now as you can see the separators/dividers of the main menu items aren't extending the whole height of the navbar. So my idea was to set a padding on each li item. Here the code and fiddle:
html:
<div class="navbar main navbar-fixed">
<div class="container">
<ul>
<li class="item active">Items 1
<ul>
<li class="item">Items 1</li>
<li class="item">Items 2</li>
<li class="item">Items 3</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="item">Items 2</li>
<li class="item">Items 3</li>
<li class="item">Items 4
<ul>
<li class="item">Items 1</li>
<li class="item">Items 2</li>
<li class="item">Items 3</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="item">Items 5</li>
<li class="item">Items 6</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

This creates an issue that the link isn't clickable on the whole height of the navbar. and makes it so that the background-image is hidden behind the padding of the li.
Any ideas how I can achieve the same effect without using the padding? But simply have the border smaller than it's original height.

You can use the :before pseudo element to create the dividers:
EXAMPLE:
.navbar.main .container > ul > li.item {
position:relative;
}
.navbar.main .container > ul > li.item:before {
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:10%;
height:80%;
width:1px;
background:#5fd4f7;
content:"";
}

padding: 10px;
}
you can get the working demo # here. at here when you hover on menu, you will find the red background coloured <ul> which contains sub children too, but the height of <ul> is not covering the height of full heirarchy. please help me for this!
Remove the absolute parent on child ul since the parent is already in absolute position.
.nav > ul > li ul {
visibility:hidden;
z-index: 9;

Trying to create a drop down list in CSS3

I've been trying to work on this with no success, for some reason the sub list is just not showing up! I've tried: nav > ul > li:hover > ul{} but that seems to break functionality of the code. I'm sure this is a pretty simple issue I'm having.
nav > ul {
list-style: none;
}
nav > ul > li {
padding: 20px;
float: left;
}
nav > ul > li {
background-color: #fff;
}
nav > ul > ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
padding: 0;
}
nav > ul > ul > li {
float: none;
width: 200px;
}
nav > ul > li:hover {
color: #4169E1;
display: block;
visibility: visible;
}
body {
background: black;
}
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About Us</li>
<li>Secure</li>
<ul>
<li>How secure are we?</li>
<li>We are not secure enough!!</li>
</ul>
<li>Mad</li>
</ul>
</nav>
Simplify your selectors (nav ul ul) is fine
Make the parent li's position: relative so that the position: absolute dropdowns are positioned in relation to them. Use an appropriate top value
In your example, visibility: visible is not doing anything. display: none and display: block are used to hide / show
Nest your lists properly. This is the correct way:
<ul>
<li>Top Menu Item
<ul>
<li>Sub-menu Item</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

To Point out one of the Mistakes you have
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About Us</li>
<li>Secure
<ul> **--> this should be inside li**
<li>How secure are we?</li>
<li>We are not secure enough!!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Mad</li>
</ul>
and your css
add this
nav > ul > li:hover > ul{
display: block;
opacity: 1;
visibility: visible;
}

CSS dropdown menu vertical

I'm trying to make a vertical dropdown menu but doesn't seem to work. It currently doesn't display any text, just a bar going across the top of the page. It is being pushed to be by by 115px for due to requirements. Here's the HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<h1>Flags </h1>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Introduction</li>
<li>History</li>
<li>National Flags</li>
<li>International Maritime Signal Flags
<ul>
<li>Maritime Signals: Letters</li>
<li>Maritime Signals: Numbers</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
Here is the CSS:
nav {
height:30px;
}
nav ul {
background-color: #5d2c2c;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
position: relative;
bottom: 115px;
display: block;
}
nav ul:after {
content: ""; clear: both; display: block;
}
nav ul li {
float: right;
bottom: 115px;
position: relative;
}
nav ul li a {
display: block; padding: 5px 5px;
color: #FFF; text-decoration: none;
text-align:right;
}
nav ul ul {
background: #5d2c2c; padding: 0;
position: absolute; top: 100%;
}
nav ul ul li {
float: none;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #575f6a;
position: relative;
}
The CSS needed a little work on
Try this FIDDLE it'll work
This was missing:
nav ul li:nth-child(4) ul { display:none; }
nav ul li:nth-child(4):hover ul { display:block; color:red; }
and bottom was removed from this one
nav ul li {
float: left;
position: relative;
}

Make secondary navigation stay in place when primary category is hovered using only CSS

I'm trying to create a navigation panel where you hover over the category you want and the list of pages for that category appears underneath, horizontally. I have the main bulk of it down but I don't know how to make the list of pages (secondary navigation part) stay in place after a category has been hovered over without using Javascript.
I'm developing using an old version of Firefox (10.0.1) due to work limitations.
Here is what I have:
<style>
body,a,ul,li{margin:0;padding:0;text-decoration: none}
*{font-family: verdana;font-size: 12px;color:#333;}
#nav{
margin-left: 20px;
width: 400px;
height: 50px;
}
#nav:after{
position: absolute;
content: "";
width: 400px;
height: 30px;
background: #888;
z-index: 0;
}
#nav > ul{
position: relative;
}
#nav > ul:before{
content: "";
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
}
#nav > ul > li{
background: #ccc;
height: 50px;
display: table-cell;
white-space: nowrap;
vertical-align: middle;
padding: 0 15px 0 15px;
}
#nav > ul > li > ul{
background: #bbb;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
display: table-cell;
height: 30px;
bottom: -30px;
z-index: 1;
}
#nav > ul > li > ul > li{
background: #aaa;
display: none;
height: 30px;
padding: 0 10px 0 10px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#nav > ul > li:hover > ul > li{
display: table-cell;
}
</style>
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li>Cat 1
<ul>
<li>Link 1</li>
<li>Link 2</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Cat 2</li>
<li>Cat 3
<ul>
<li>Link 3</li>
<li>Link 4</li>
<li>Link 5</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
JsFiddle Link
I found a solution:
#nav > ul > li:hover > ul:after{
display: table-cell;
content: "";
width: 1000px;
}
This fills up the remaining whitespace in the second ul which makes it stay active when the cursor is over it.

CSS z-index error in IE 7

I'm having trouble with z-index in IE 7. The problem is that the menu items are in 2 rows. If any of first row item has sub-menu, the IE7 won't let you hover it. The problem is caused by IE7 only.
Here's my code:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="main-nav">
<ul class="main-menu" id="menu-header-menu">
<li class="menu-item">item 1
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li class="menu-item"> sub item
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li class="menu-item">sub sub item</li>
<li class="menu-item">sub sub item</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="menu-item">item 2</li>
<li class="menu-item">item 3</li>
<li class="menu-item"> test item
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li class="menu-item">sub sub item</li>
<li class="menu-item">sub sub item</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#wrapper {
width:250px;
margin:0 auto;
}
#main-nav {
background-color:orange;
padding: 0 10px;
clear: both;
display: block;
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
#main-nav ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0 0 0 -0.8125em;
padding-left: 0;
}
#main-nav li {
float: left;
position: relative;
}
#main-nav a {
color:#737373;
display: block;
line-height: 2.333em;
padding: 0 1.2125em;
text-decoration: none;
}
#main-nav ul ul {
display: none;
float: left;
margin: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 2.333em;
left: 0;
width: 188px;
z-index: 999;
}
#main-nav ul ul ul {
left: 100%;
top: 0;
}
#main-nav ul ul a {
background: yellow;
height: auto;
line-height: 1.4em;
padding: 10px 10px;
width: 168px;
}
#main-nav li:hover > a,
#main-nav a:focus {
color: #373737;
}
#main-nav ul li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
Here you can see the problem. When you hover on the item 1, it does not let me hover its sub item which has yellow background.
Easy fix. Add this to the bottom of your css code:
#main-nav ul li:hover {z-index:9999;}
The problem is that your element needed a higher z-index upon hovering, not before.
Here's a live link to a demo I uploaded. Works on both ie7 and ff/chr/saf:
http://sotkra.com/stackoverflow/ie7zindex/index.html
I nonetheless suggest you simplify your code, it's too clunky. There is a tiny bug where once you hover your 3rd layer menu, exit and then re-enter, the yellow background will be there. Should be fixed with a proper cleanup of your html/css
Cheers
