Overflow hidden/visible messing up my view - html

I'm confused about why my paragraph doesn't begin in a new line based on the overflow property of the previous element.
Check out my plunker, change the overflow property in line 11 to hidden and it will work fine. On visibile, it screws up the view.
I know doing a clearfix can fix this issue, but what I'm interested in is why overflow is doing this to my view;
ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
overflow: visible; /* Change this to visible/hidden*/
}

The problem is that because your ul has float: left; the text element goes by default on its right. So when you add the overflow: hidden; property it clears the area around the list.
There is also a great read for floating elements.

Let me clear you something overflow:hidden make the UL clear because it is shorter form of :after{clear:both;content:"";display:block;}
but in overflow:hidden it clears it self and take it's height but nothing will be shown outside of this.
In this example you have floating elements and the parents UL is not taking its width and height that is why paragraph goes beside to it. when you add overflow:hidden then UL takes its height and width because it is shorter form of has layout property :after{clear:both;content:"";display:block;}
Hope so you will be cleared by this
Thanks

It is due to the property of float left in anchor. Remove overflow property from ul, it will work excellent.
Add the following properties in css to:
ul{ font-size:0px;}
ul li{ vertical-align:top; display:inline-block;}
ul li a{ font-size:16px; float:none;}

UL code on front page display is pushing down the last LI element in Chrome

I started a new job this week and one of my duties will be fixing/updating the website.
Our front page has six floated elements with mouse behaviors wrapped in a UL. In Firefox and IE, it appears just fine.
In Chrome, the last li element is lower than the others by about 20 or so pixels (I tried removing the style that was on the "last" element which changed the top margin (-18), but it didn't change anything).
The site is at rlba.com. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
To answer your question...
Set #flashContainer2 ul, line 274 in your styles.css file, to have a width of 942px and a display of block. This will correct the behavior you are experiencing.
But please listen to j08691 and alireza safian in your comments and fix your question so that other people can learn from this.
There is no reason for your ul to be display:inline, especially if you have a defined height, so remove your display attribute and let it be the default (display:block;).
Then remove the default browser padding on the ul to have it be flush with the left side of your site's content container.
#flashContainer2 ul {
width: 940px;
height: 420px;
/* display: inline; - remove this */
padding: 0; /* add this */
}
And lastly, your li tags in the ul are 155px wide with padding-right of 2px (so the li is effectively 157px) but the ul is 940px wide. 157x6 = 942px. So you could either remove the width on "#flashContainer2 ul" so it grows to the container and becomes 942px wide, or remove the 2px padding from the last element so all of the li's fit in the ul.
#flashContainer2 .lastInList {
padding-right: 0; /* add this */
}

floating menu dropdown doesn't show

I have a problem with my dropdown or submenu. It worked perfectly fine before, but after I changed my menu to be floating, the submenu won't show anymore.
this is the code I used for menu:
border-bottom:2px solid #e9e9e9;
position:fixed;
width:2000px;
background-color:#ffffff;
padding-left:605px;
padding-right:210px;
margin-right:-200px;
And this is my website
http://lobaab.com/
could you help me on how to fix this plz
Nested ULs are hidden by display: none in the default state, and you never change this property to block.
.sf-menu li:hover > ul {
display: block !important; /* importnat isn't necessary if you know how strong selector you need to use */
}
Than, you set width: 100% for submenu, but it´s width of their parent (LI). You want probably set higher width, or don´t set the width exactly and use only white-space: nowrap - submenu will have the width of the longest item.

CSS <ul> - <li> menu: <a> element width height setting

I am trying to solve this issue for a few days now. I am unable to place the Child1, 2 and 3 between the 25px orange spot. The parent and child menu is a CSS based ul - li menu, where I set the <a> as an inline-block and set the width and height but it still ignores those parameters. I am out of ideas on how to solve this matter. Thank you for your help in advance.
Due to the length of the code I decided to upload the "whole" source code:
source.zip
The problem is that your <a> tags on the sub-menu have the padding:15px from the main menu. You will need to set it to 0. You can then set the line-height of the element to match the orange bar's height to center it vertically.
Add this to fix it:
#header .cssMenuA a{
padding:0;
line-height:25px;
}
It looks like the Child 1, 2, 3 a tags have padding applied to them, which is pushing them down past the orange. See screenshot:
Try removing the padding from the a tags (bodystyle.css, line 78), and reapplying it only to the parent menu items.
You have 15px of padding around all of the <a> elements in the nav list (including PARENT), but this also applies to the "Childs." Add the rule:
#header li li a {
padding-top: 0;
}
This may not look exactly like you want because the <a> is set at 25px high, but the font is smaller than that. Also add
#header li li a span {
line-height: 25px;
}

Setting a Fixed Size for CSS Menu Items

I am trying to assign a same size (Width) to all items inside in side a CSS powered Horizontal Menu Nav. as you cab see from the linked example the "li" size is rendering based on the length of the strings inside. Now my question is how I can set a fix size for items (For example: 80px for all)?
Can you please take a look at following example:
http://jsfiddle.net/Behseini/hBDv9/
I also would like to know how I can center the Menu bar in box(div)
Thanks for your time and comments
Set the width on the "a" elements.
http://jsfiddle.net/hBDv9/2/
You can also apply text centering on the "a", if you need that.
Add width: 80px; to #nav li a and #nav li a:hover.
To get the li elements the same size you need to use:
#nav li {
display:inline-block;
width:80px;
}
To center one element inside of another:
div.wrapper { width:100%;}
div.wrapper .centered {
display:inline-block;
width:80%; // or whatever you want it to be
margin: 0 auto;
}
Does this help?

css link not making all text a link?

I have dropdown menu and its made via a list and position absolute, however the dropdown links are very very very small area and do not cover the text completely.
How can I fix this?
Example http://outreviews.com/v%202/index.html (the dropdown menus)
Remove the padding from the sub menu's UL and LI and give the A element "display:block" This will make the A element take up the entire width of the menu.
You can fiddle with the padding to get it the way you want it.
If you add:
ul li a {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
It should work okay, and since even IE allows display: inline-block; on natively in-line elements it should be relatively cross-browser friendly (certainly under a valid doctype).
It's worth remembering that padding on the parent li will also reduce the possible width of the child a element, and the display: inline on the same parent li is also likely to cause you a little trouble (since display: block; on the a would be so much simpler).
Edited to note that #Chris Bentley correctly noted the points in my final paragraph (above the hr) just prior to my answer.
make the following changes:
in #headermenu li change the padding:20px; to padding :0 20px;
add delete the top:55px; from #headermenu li ul
What you can do is make the li elements display:list-item and the a elements display:block. That's what's being done on the site you're linking to.
