I have a simple navigation with a sub-menu on one of my main navigation items. When the user hovers over this i would like the sub-menu item to show and when you go onto the sub-menu li items the main menu link to still have the background colour 'hovered' state still active. Thing is i cant even get the sub-menu item to show!
I have tried the usual display:none and when :hovered { display:block}; but it's ignoring it.
What am u missing? Must be something so simple but cannot see in the css styling.
Here is a link to an example of how it is setup: http://jsfiddle.net/ULSsa/
here is the demo link http://jsfiddle.net/ULSsa/6/ with corrected css
*{
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
body {
font:normal 12px/18px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#000;
padding:20px;
background-color:#F2F2F2;
}
ul, li, ol {
list-style-type:none;
}
ul#nav-1 {
width:60%;
height:46px;
border:1px solid red;
}
ul#nav-1 li {
position:relative;
display:inline-block;
*float:left;
margin-top:16px;
margin-left:-4px;
}
ul#nav-1 li a {
padding:22px 13px;
font-size:14px;
}
ul#nav-1 li:hover a,
ul#nav-1 li a:hover {
cursor:pointer;
background-color:#000;
}
ul#nav-1 li ul#sub-menu {
display:none;
position:absolute;
width:200px;
list-style:none;
left:0;
top:19px;
}
ul#nav-1 li:hover ul#sub-menu {
display:block !important;
}
ul#nav-1 ul#sub-menu li {
float: none;
margin: 0;
}
ul#nav-1 ul#sub-menu li a {
border-bottom:1px solid #dbddd4;
background-color:#f2f2f2;
width:200px;
text-align:left;
display: block;
padding:0;
padding-left:18px;
padding-top:13px;
padding-bottom:13px;
float:left;
margin:0;
}
ul#nav-1 ul#sub-menu li:hover a {
background-color:#3a3a3a;
color:#FFF;
}
Pretty easy. The submenu ul#sub-menu is not a child of the anchor element, but of the list element. You must either put the submenu inside the anchor element or check for the hover on the list element as following:
ul#nav-1 li:hover > ul#sub-menu { instead of ul#nav-1 li a:hover > ul#sub-menu {
http://jsfiddle.net/ULSsa/2/
You are using wrong selector here, it should be
ul#nav-1 li a:hover + ul#sub-menu { /* Note the + sign instead of > */
display:block !important;
}
Demo
Explanation: You are using > which will select direct child elements of a which in your case are none, so you need to use + adjacent selector to trigger the adjacent element
Just change your ul#nav-1 li a:hover > ul#sub-menu to ul#nav-1 li:hover > ul#sub-menu because the submenu it is a child of li and not of an anchor (a).
See the example by clicking here.
If you do not know, the CSS > selector means the specifically child of the element.
Updated
To maintain the link state, just do this:
ul#nav-1 li:hover a {
background-color: black;
}
See the example by clicking here.

I've got a safari-specific problem with a hover effect probably related to the synthetic click vulnerability fix in iOS 8.4.1. When the user tries to click on a link there is no response.
The menu is a simple CSS-only menu. I have created a demo here: https://jsfiddle.net/baad95e3/
#menu :hover ul {
right:auto;
left:0;
}
#menu :hover ul ul {
left:-9999px;
width:160px;
padding-left:5px;
background:none;
}
#menu li ul :hover ul {
left: 170px;
right:auto;
}
#menu li ul li ul li a {
text-align:left;
color:#000;
}
#menu li ul li ul li a:hover {
color:#000;
}
What would be a good workaround without losing the hover effect.
Hacky but can work, did for me in some cases:
* { z-index: 0; }
This is my full code: https://jsfiddle.net/dv6gxtoh/2/
I want the dropdown box to expand and be the full width of it's content (so it doesn't have to drop things down a line) but I also don't want it to stretch the main dropdown button to the same width.
The best example I can give is something a bit like this:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/w3ym8.png
This is the CSS I am using:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.click-nav ul {
position:relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.click-nav ul li {
position: relative;
list-style:none;
cursor:pointer;
display:inline-block;
}
.click-nav ul li ul {
position:absolute;
left:0;
right:0;
}
.click-nav ul .clicker {
position:relative;
color:black;
}
.click-nav ul .clicker:hover, .click-nav ul .active {
background:#196F9A;
}
.click-nav ul li a {
display:block;
padding:8px 10px;
background:#FFF;
color:#333;
text-decoration:none;
}
.click-nav ul li a:hover {
background:#F2F2F2;
}
/* Fallbacks */
.click-nav .no-js ul {
display:none;
}
.click-nav .no-js:hover ul {
display:block;
}
The closest I could get it to remove position:relative; from .click-nav ul which does the trick, except the dropdown menu doesn't sit under the button which opened it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Seems to me white-space : nowrap is what you need, i.e
.click-nav ul li a {
display:block;
padding:8px 10px;
background:#FFF;
color:#333;
text-decoration:none;
white-space: nowrap;
}
forked fiddle -> http://jsfiddle.net/j5ckepbm/
Check the shared fiddle..
you need to make few changes to your css, like adding and width/min-width to your dropdown.
white-space:nowrap
Click to see the fiddle, commented lines are mine changes
You may need to add one more class with a fixed width to get it done.
.click-nav ul li ul li {
width: 150px;
}
Here is a fiddle
i want to make it so that when I hover the cursor over a link in the list, a bullet point image shows up to the left of the list text. however, it does not seem to work.
I've also tried the following CSS and it does not work:
ul.navibox a:hover{
list-style-image:url(images/crown-icon.jpg);}
any ideas? thanks
Current CSS:
ul.navibox{
margin:0 0 0 0;
padding:5px 0 0 20px;
list-style-type:none;
font-family:arial,verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:14px;
color:#333333;}
ul.navibox li a:link{
color:#ff0;
text-decoration:none;}
ul.navibox li a:visited{
color:#f00;}
ul.navibox li a:hover{
color:#f0f;
list-style-image:url(images/crown-icon.jpg);}
HTML:
<div id="middle_left_box"><span style="padding-left:10px">Categories</span>
<h3>accessories</h3>
<h4>Supplies:</h4>
<ul class="navibox">
<li>Pellets</li>
<li>Gas</li>
<ul>
</div>
Without a Demo being provided it's hard to be sure but I would try this
ul.navibox{
margin:0 0 0 0;
padding:5px 0 0 20px;
list-style-image:none; /* default 'non-image' */
font-family:arial,verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:14px;
color:#333333;}
ul.navibox li:hover{
list-style-image:url(images/crown-icon.jpg);}
ul.navibox li a:link{
color:#ff0;
text-decoration:none;}
ul.navibox li a:visited{
color:#f00;}
ul.navibox li a:hover{
color:#f0f;
}
Your previous CSS applied the list image to the anchor link which doesn't have that property available to it. So the hover has to be on the list item itself.
If you want to display a bullet aside <a> , you need to reset display of <a> to list-item.
Then , on hover you may switched bullet image from a transparent one to an arrow or so.
CSS example and DEMO:
ul.navibox li a:link {
color:#ff0;
text-decoration:none;
display:list-item;
list-style-position:inside;
list-style-image:url(http://dummyimage.com/16x16/fff/fff&text=);
}
ul.navibox li a:visited {
color:#f00;
}
ul.navibox li a:hover {
color:#f0f;
list-style-image:url(http://dummyimage.com/16x16/fff/000&text=->);
}
So what i want to happen is for the background of the current link(the link of the page you are currently on) to turn a seperate color and also for the font color to change to white. I also want this same effect to occur on a:hover (for links you are hovering over). I have gotten very close to this effect, however my one issue is that to change the font color of a:hover the mouse needs to be directly over the link and not simply within its container. I understand why this would not work since im giving this property to the link specifically and not the list, but font color changes for the "a" dont work if i put them with #nav li.
The effects i want are similar to those of the NavBar on this page http://www.vitalsmarts.com/
CSS/HTML:
<style>
#nav{
list-style-type:none;
text-align:center;
height:50px;
background-image:url("image/menuBg.png");
}
#nav li {
float:left;
width:155px;
}
#nav li a {
text-decoration:none;
font-size:1.3em;
color:#000000;
}
#nav li:hover {
background-color:#143D17;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
#nav li a:hover {
color:#FFFFFF;
}
#nav li a.currentFont {
color:#FFFFFF;
}
.navPadS {
padding:13px 0px;
}
.navPadL {
padding:13px 12px;
}
.navPadLL {
padding-top:13px;
padding-bottom:13px;
padding-right:20px;
}
.current {
background-color:#143D17;
}
</style>
<body>
<!Header and NavBar>
<div id="navCont">
<ul id="nav" class"tbBord">
<li class="navPadS"><a class="currentFont" href="index.html">home</a></li>
<li class="navPadLL">home</li>
<li class="navPadL">home</li>
<li class="navPadS">home</li>
<li class="navPadS">home</li>
<li class="navPadS">home</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
add this to your css
#nav li a {
text-decoration:none;
font-size:1.3em;
color:#000000;
display:block;
}
Don't style the li's just float them left and put all your style in the a's. I've created this example on JS Bin but the bit that matters is:
#nav li {
margin:0;
padding:0;
float:left;
}
#nav li a {
text-decoration:none;
font-size:1.3em;
color:#000000;
width:155px;
display:block;
padding:10px;
}
#nav li a:hover, #nav li a.currentFont {
background-color:#143D17;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
I am trying to change the background colour of an anchor element when it's in a hover state, the problem is I am not able to achieve this with style I have below.

html
<div class="dropdown">
<ul>
<li>Orders</li>
<li>Favourites</li>
<li>Account</li>
<li>Settings</li>
</ul>
</div>
I'm confused, I don't why this is not working, any help would be appreciated.
The !important needs to go before the closing ;.
.dropdown ul li a:hover {
background-color:#F80101 !important;
}
jsFiddle example
It's not semantically correct to have two elements with the same id. Also, using ids for your selector gives the rule a very high precedence, which is why you need to use !important.
I would suggest giving the last 2 list item links a class of pink instead of an id.
Then you would just need to declare the .pink rule before the :hover rule. Since both rules have the same precedence, and the :hover rule comes after, it will override the .pink rule.

HTML
...
<li><a href="/account" class='pink'>Account</a></li>
<li>Settings</li>
...
CSS
.dropdown ul li a.pink{
background-color:#FFE8E8;
}
.dropdown ul li a:hover{
background-color:#F80101;
}
Change your id="pink" to class="pink", than in your css add this to your hover .dropdown ul li a.pink:hover
Add this:
false:
.dropdown ul li a:hover{
background-color:#F80101; !important
}
true:
.dropdown ul li a:hover{
background-color:#F80101 !important;
}
