I have some CSS and HTML for horizontal tabs that works perfectly in jsfiddle. However, in both Firefox 13 and IE6 (the browser I most need this to work in) the tabs are displayed as a vertical unordered list.
Here is the CSS:
.tablist
{
list-style:none;
height:2em;
padding:0;
margin:0;
border: none;
}
.tablist li
{
display:inline-block;
float: left;
}
.tablist li a
{
float: left;
margin-right:0.13em;
padding:0 1em;
text-decoration:none;
border:0.06em solid #000;
border-bottom:0;
font:bold 0.88em/2em arial,geneva,helvetica,sans-serif;
color:#000;
background-color:#ccc;
/* CSS 3 elements */
webkit-border-top-right-radius:0.50em;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius:0.50em;
-moz-border-radius-topright:0.50em;
-moz-border-radius-topleft:0.50em;
border-top-right-radius:0.50em;
border-top-left-radius:0.50em;
}
.tablist li a:hover
{
background:#3cf;
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
}
.tablist li#current a
{
background-color: #777;
color: #fff;
}
.tablist li#current a:hover
{
background: #39C;
}
And here is the HTML:
<div class="tablist">
<ul>
<li><strong>Tutorialsphere</strong></li>
<li><strong>Photoshop</strong></li>
<li><strong>Illustrator</strong></li>
<li><strong>Fireworks</strong></li>
<li><strong>Flash</strong></li>
<li><strong>CSS</strong></li>
<li><strong>PHP</strong></li>
</ul>
</div>
For a while this was working in Firefox and I don't remember changing anything -- but I must have.
Any advice is appreciated.
Regards.
IE6 doesn't support inline-block. As such, it's just ignoring your display property and leaving it at its default.
I don't have IE6 handy, but try display: block; float:left to this selector: .tablist li a

I have a ul with several list items inside made up of h3s and lis with the class id of "close".
I have a hover style that expands the letter spacing on the h3s, the problem is, the items with the close class expand as well. I've tried a few different things before adding the class, like nth child etc (all which are visible in the code). I would like the close classed lis to remain the same size when the h3s are expanded.
Any help is appreciated.

The thing is that you don't have any element with a defined width, so every elements have the width of the largest element.
To do what you're trying to achive, you have plenty of solutions depending on your needs.
You could define a fix width on one of the parents, like the ul for example and add the white-space: nowrap property to the h3 (see the fiddle) :
ul {
width: 200px;
}
#openClose li a h3{
white-space: nowrap;
}
You could also set a fix width on your li with the close button (see the fiddle) :
#openClose li:nth-child(2n+2){
width: 200px;
}
Here is my try. Like you see i changed a little your code joining some things and clean a little, but the point is in the width property of .close

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 id="menu">

<ul>
<li>Customer Reviews</li>
<li>Leave a Review</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Gallery</li>

<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, #menu ul {

}*/
#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.
I have done this code for a bit of extra study but I can't seem to center the work and I'm not to sure if I need so much code feel like some should be removed, please help!
If some of the code needs to be taken away I understand just dont quite understand and I feel like everything I Read make me more lost and Just keep changing my code with no solution :(

sorry I'm just fairly new to all this
I am providing with two solutions guessing its what you need:
Fiddle 1
Change
#navigationbar-main {
margin:0px auto;
/*removed float
Other styles remain same*/
}
Fiddle 2
Change
#navigationbar-main li {
display:inline-block;
/*Other styles remain same*/
}
change your ul css
#navigationbar-main {
color: #000000;
font-size: 24px;
font-weight: bold;
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0 auto 10px;
padding: 15px;
text-align: center;
width: 1000px;
}
and give flat:left to your li
If you are trying to center align the #navigationbar-main ul, do this
#navigationbar-main ul{
float:left /*remove this line*/
}
This will get you the ul to the center of the page horizontally.
And if you want to align the li items horizontally apply this:
#navigationbar-main li {
display:inline-block;
}
#navigationbar-main {
width: 100%;
}
Add this to your CSS,
I don`t understand why I have margin from the left:
CSS:
html, body {
font-family:Myriad Pro, sans-serif;
font-size:18px;
color:#000;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
background: url('./images/background.png');
}
#container {
width:890px;
height:530px;
margin:36px auto;
}
#userList {
width:228px;
height:355px;
float:right;
border:1px solid #cccccc;
}
.users li {
list-style-type:none;
background-color: #f2f2f2;
width:100%;
height:50px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc;
}
HTML:
<div id="userList"><ul class="users"><li><img src="./pic/none.png">Piet van Meerdijk</li><li><img src="./pic/none.png">Henk v/d Wal</li></ul></div>
When I put margin-left:-40px; in the CSS code the li item will be on the left now, but then have I a margin on the right. Why?
JSfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/8Cwcy/
The <ul> tag has an automatic padding of 40px so you will need to change that to 0px:
ul {
padding: 0px;
}
This should work across all browsers.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/8Cwcy/3/
By default a lot of HTML elements have their own CSS rules in many browsers, and <ul> tag has a padding by default. You need to set padding:0px to de <ul> tag:
ul{
padding:0px;
}

I am creating a design with a drop-down menu and everything works well in modern browsers (i.e. Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, and IE9). However, due to to the number of visitors using IE7 and IE8, I also need to make the menu compatible with those versions of Internet Explorer.
Here is the drop-down menu (fiddle, pastebin):
HTML
<ul class="menu_top">
<li>Home</li>
<li>Help Videos<ul>
<li>Child Page</li>
<li>Site Map<ul>
<li>Galleries</li>
<li>Missing</li></ul>
</li></ul>
</li>
<li>About<ul>
<li>Contact</li></ul>
</li>
</ul>
CSS
ul.menu_top {
float:left;
width:70%;
margin: 8px 100px 0 0;
border-radius:4px;
background-color: #c4092a;
list-style-type: none;
z-index:+1;
}
ul.menu_top li {
float: left;
position: relative;
margin: 4px 2em 4px 4px;
padding: 0;
}
ul.menu_top li ul {
visibility: hidden;
position: absolute;
top:100%;
left:0;
padding:0.5em;
list-style-type: none;
white-space:nowrap;
background-color: #c4092a;
border: 1px solid white;
border-radius:4px;
z-index:+1;
}
ul.menu_top li:hover > ul {
visibility: visible;
z-index: +2;
}
ul.menu_top li ul li {
padding: 0;
margin: 12px 4px;
float:none;
border:0;
min-width:3em;
}
ul.menu_top li ul li ul {
top:0;
left:99%;
}
ul.menu_top a {
background-color:#c4092a;
color:white;
text-decoration:none;
padding:4px;
font-size:18px
}
ul.menu_top a:hover,
ul.menu_top a.haschildren.childselected,
ul.menu_top a.selected {
background-color:white;
color:blue;
text-decoration:none;
}
ul.menu_top li a.haschildren:after {
content: "\00A0\00A0\25BC";
}
a {
color:#0000aa;
background-color:inherit;
}
Screenshot in IE7 and IE8
I have tested the backward compatibility in IE Developer Tools:
IE7: The <ul> lists are displaced and navigation is impossible
IE8: Only missing round corners (this is a minor problem)
I tried to modify the style as advised in this answer, but not successfully.
So, does anybody have any idea how to fix these issues?
Overall, your issue is that the CSS you are using is more advanced than some of the browsers you need to support. Rounded corners and most pseudo elements have spotty support in older browsers.
I noticed that your arrow is missing in IE7, that was my clue. IE7 does not support the pseudo-class element :after. Here is a helpful reference page to check on browser support of certain CSS http://kimblim.dk/css-tests/selectors/.
Quirksmode.org is a good resource for compatibility. Here is there page specific to :after http://www.quirksmode.org/css/beforeafter.html
