I have a ul with tree list items in an horizontal view.
All the list items have the same background image:
I want to overlap the background images so it looks like this:
Here is my jsFiddle
CSS:
div#menu ul li{
height:30px;
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
width: 60px;
background: url(http://i.stack.imgur.com/adwVj.jpg);
background-size: 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-left:30px;
z-index:2;
}
div#menu ul li:first-child{
padding-left:20px;
z-index:3;
}
div#menu ul li:last-child{
padding-left:35px;
margin-left:-30px
z-index:1;
}
HTML:
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li>Account</li>
<li>Registreren</li>
<li>Winkelwagen</li>
</ul>
</div>
It goes wrong with the z-index!
you should first give at least position: relative to your list-items, otherwise z-index has no effect. then just use
div#menu ul li + li {
left : -20px;
}
so the labels will remain close together (this rule will be applied starting from the second <li> element)

In the following code, through which I am trying to understand drop down menu. If you see the output, you can notice that the li texts FIRST SECOND AND FOURTH are not equally horizontally aligned with equal spaces between each other.For instance there is more horizontal space on the right side of FOURTH. Whats the best possible way to align the text in the middle (horizontally) without manually giving values of margin, padding etc. Like there should be a way using text-align:center or margin:auto auto that can align the text in the center automatically irrespective of the length of the text or font size.
ul{
width:350px;
height:50px;
padding-left:0;
margin:0;
background:#CCCCCC;
}
ul > li{
list-style: none;
display: inline;
font-size: 24px;
float: left;
width: 106.66px;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: center;
margin-left: auto;
}
ul > li > ul{
margin:10px 0px;
padding-left:0;
width:80px;
height:40px;
visibility: hidden;
}
ul > li > ul > li{
display:block;
list-style-type:none;
padding-left:10px;
}
ul > li:hover ul{
visibility:visible;
}
<body>
<ul>
<li>First</li>
<li>
Second
<ul>
<li>Third</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Fourth</li>
</ul>
</body>
It because of your hidden ul. Don't use vissibility:hidden like that, it will make the ur hidden, right but it still take up space so it make your second li bigger than it normal should be - inspect element and you will see it - and it look like fourth li look in wrong place.
To prevent this, you can use display:none with position:absolute like my demo below; display:none make your third ul "disappear", make the ul look right, and with position:absolute, it prevent the fourth li run around (try delete the attribute position:absolute and you can see.
ul{
width:350px;
height:50px;
padding-left:0;
margin:0;
background:#CCCCCC;
}
ul > li{
list-style:none;
display:inline;
padding:10px 20px;
font-size:24px;
float:left;
position: relative;
}
ul > li > ul{
margin:10px 0px;
padding-left:0;
width:80px;
height:40px;
display:none;
position:absolute;
}
ul > li > ul > li{
display:block;
list-style-type:none;
padding-left:10px;
}
ul > li:hover ul{
display:block
}

I am trying to make a navigation bar with drop down menus. I've created the navigation bar and used bootstraps "pull-left" class to move it to the left. But the dropdown menu I have created using jQuery is now also moved the left since the HTML code is contained in the div marked as "pull-left" I have googled and tried out stuff for a few hours, but I couldn't quite find a solution.
The HTML for the Navigation bar
<div id = "nav">
<div class = "container" >
<div class = "pull-left ">
<img class = "logo-image" src = "Logo2.png" />
</div>
<ul class = "pull-left">
<li class "logo">Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>
Projects
<ul>
<li>Stealth Game </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Gallery</li>
<li>Tutorials</li>
</ul>
<ul class = "pull-right">
<li> Follow me</li>
</ul>
</div>
The CSS
#nav li{
display:inline;
padding-right : 5px;
}
#nav ul ul {
display:none;
position:fixed;
z-index:999;
}
#nav li li {
float: auto;
}
#nav li a {
width:150px;
display: inline-block;
text-align:center;
color:#000;
margin-right:5px;
height:35px;
line-height:35px;
text-decoration:none;
font-size:80%;
border:1px solid #ccc;
}
#nav ul{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#nav li li a {
background:#EBE7E6!important;
text-align:left;
height:auto;
line-height:1;
width:150px;
padding:8px 20px 8px 22px;
border:1px solid #D0D0D0;
border-top:none;
margin-right:0;
}
And the JavaScript
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#nav li:has(ul)").hover(function(){
$(this).find("ul").slideDown();
}, function(){
$(this).find("ul").hide();
});
});
So the actual problem is, that the submenu, that is appearing doesn't appear under the menu it is opened from, but is also pulled to the left since I used this bootstrap class to move my navigation bar to the left.
Two things resolve this:
#nav li {
display:inline-block;
...
}
#nav ul ul {
position:absolute;
...
}
Demo
You have:
#nav ul ul {
display:none;
position:fixed;
z-index:999;
}
The position:fixed on the submenu is probably what is giving you positioning problems.
edit:
you want to use position: absolute instead.
another edit, set position: relative on the parent LI, you will also need to set the display to block and because they are no longer inline elements you will want to float them left:
#nav li{
position: relative;
display: block;
float: left;
padding-right: 5px;
}

I'm doin' a navigation bar for a website. I created it etc. but when I go to one of the sub menu's it disappears..
here's my HTML:

<ul>
<li>Customer Reviews</li>
<li>Leave a Review</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Gallery</li>
<li>Discounts
<ul>
<li>Refer us!</li>
<li>Claim discount</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Send me an email!
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
and my CSS:
/* nav */
nav{
text-align:center;
}
nav a:visited{
color:black;
}
nav a{
text-decoration:none;
color:black;
}
#menu {
margin:0 auto;
display: inline-block;
list-style-type:none;
padding:0;
}
#menu li {

}
#menu li a:hover {
color:orange;
}
#menu li ul {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #ffffff;
margin-top:6px;
margin-right:1px;
padding: 2px;
}
/*#menu, #menu ul {
margin:0 auto;
padding: 0;
}*/
#menu li {
float: left;
position: relative;
list-style-type: none;
}
#menu > li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
#menu > li > ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
}
#menu li a {
white-space: nowrap;
}
and a little JSFiddle for ya: http://jsfiddle.net/nv741s01/
If you hover your mouse over a menu option [that has a sub-menu] long enough and then do it, it works, but people won't be willing to wait three seconds every time they want to visit a sub menu, so how do I resolve it so that it works as soon as you go to it?
any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance :)
It was because there was a little gap between the sub menu and the menu, here is the fixed JSFiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/nv741s01/3/
And here is what I changed:
#menu li ul {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #ffffff;
margin-top: 1px;
margin-right:1px;
padding: 2px;
}
I changed the margin-top to 1px.
The margin of an element doesn't capture hover events. Use padding instead. Make these changes:
#menu li {
float: left;
position: relative;
list-style-type: none;
background:white;
padding-left:10px;
padding-top:5px;
margin:0;
}
/* add this rule */
#menu li a {
border:1px solid black;
border-radius:4px;
}
#menu li ul {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #ffffff;
margin-top:0px;
margin-right:1px;
padding: 2px;
}
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/nv741s01/2/
You are using margin to position the submenu away from the main item. Since margin isn't part of the actual element it doesn't trigger any hover behaviours. Instead, use padding on the child ul element, since padding is actually considered part of the child's box. This will make the hover behaviours trigger consistently when moving the mouse from parent to child.
You also describe that there's a 3 second delay somewhere - that's impossible from this code, and I cannot reproduce it obviously.
Your dropdowns are disappearing because as you move your mouse cursor down, there's a gap between the parent menu item and the child menu item.
When the mouse leaves the parent li space, it no longer applies to the hover state, and so the CSS rule is ignored, leaving the child menu hidden.
If it helps, I tend to use a combination of margins and padding, to 'bump together' the parent and child menus, to help navigation.
Have a look at http://www.habitatlandscape.co.uk/
In Firefox and even Internet Explorer (!!!) the pop-up menus appear perfectly, vertically centered in the white strip, and always starting on the far-left-hand-side.
In Chrome, the menus start horizontally under the parent li, and are not centered vertically. I can fix the vertical alignment by targetting webkit with a different position, but I can't fix the horizontal alignment.
Why is Webkit ignoring position:absolute;left:0;?

You've created a mess by display:inline-ing your <li> elements but display:block-ing your <a> elements.
In HTML, it's invalid to nest a block-level element in an inline element:
<span><div>FAIL</div></span>
When you do something like this, you're going to have cross-browser problems. The same goes if you use CSS to change the display property:
<div style="diplay:inline"><span style="display:block">STILL A FAIL</span></div>
Which is what you've done:
#header #menu ul li {
display: inline;
/* ... */
}
#header #menu ul li a {
display:block;
/* ... */
}
That behavior is more or less undefined as far as the specs are concerned (since it makes no sense) so the browser reserves the right to do something insane or ridiculous - which is what you're seeing. It works in Firefox only because you're getting lucky and it works in Internet Explorer because Internet Explorer is inherently insane and ridiculous.
If you want those <li> elements to stack horizontally, float:left them instead of inlining them. Then you can display:block your <a> element without issue. Once that's done you'll still have to switch up which elements are position:relative;-ed, and probably add a left:0 somewhere.
Here's an example of your current issue on jsfiddle, and here's an example of my suggested fix on jsfiddle, which involves positioning the #header #menu ul element relatively instead of the #header #menu ul li.
When I gave the #header #menu ul li a display:inline-block; it fixed it. It also changed the result of the hidden ul's top positioning, which should be 24px to match the height if the button anyways, right?
<div id="action-nav">
<ul>
<li>selected</li>
<li>selected</li>
</ul>
</div>
and the styles:
#action-nav
{
text-align:center;
}
#action-nav ul li
{
height: 48px;
width: 112px;
list-style:none;
float: left;
margin-right:20px;
}
#action-nav ul li a
{
text-decoration:none;
padding-top :15px;
height: 48px;
width: 112px;
display: block;
}
#action-nav ul li:hover a
{
color:#fff;
}
#action-nav ul li:hover, #action-nav ul li a.selected
{
background-image: url('../Images/link_red_bg.jpg');
color:#fff;
}
the a.selected class is the issue. It should look like it does in the adjacent li:hover style. What did I miss?
You need to subtract the padding from the height.
It might be repeating, in which case,
background-repeat: no-repeat;
use line-height instead of height
Try moving the "selected" class to the parent <li>.
Additionally, specifying the exact width and height of the child <a> is redundant; simply change both values to 100% so they automatically match the dimensions of the parent <li>.
