Need help fixing a CSS Drop-Down menu for IE6

Hello.
I have created an entirely CSS drop down menu for my website
which works perfect in Firefox, Safari, Opera and IE7 however when
I tested in IE6 it displayed like this -->
image
here or go to http://www.runecentral.net/index.php (Must have
/index.php as i have redirected / to the community forum.)
Here is my code

Thank you for your reply.
To answer your first question, I tried it with just one
before and it caused Internet Explorer to display the background
incorrectly so I just kept them both.
I have replaced background-image with background:
url(/img/defmenu.png) repeat-x;
But, I cannot access my XP machine until tomorrow so I cannot
view the site in IE6, if you could test it and tell me if it is the
same as the image linked to in my first post that would be great.
Kind Regards,
Perry

Help needed with CSS drop down menu

Hi guys,
I'm trying to build a drop down menu for my site but, despite seeing a few tutorials and examples, I've had no luck yet!
I'm pretty sure my HTML is correct...
Code:
    <ul id="nav">
    <li><a href="#">Menu 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu 3</a>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="#">Drop Down 1</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Drop Down 2</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Drop Down 3</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Drop Down 4</a></li>
            </ul>
        </li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu 4</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu 5</a></li>
    </ul>
My CSS looks like this at the moment...
Code:
ul#nav {width:920px; height:35px; list-style:none; padding:0; margin:0; background:url(navBg.jpg) repeat-x; font-family:'OpenSansRegular'; font-size:11px; font-weight:700; text-transform:uppercase; -moz-box-shadow:0px 0px 10px #1c1c1c; -webkit-box-shadow:0px 0px 10px #1c1c1c; box-shadow:0px 0px 10px #1c1c1c; z-index:999;}
ul#nav li a:hover, #nav li a:active {background:url(navOn.jpg) repeat-x; text-decoration:none;}
ul#nav li a {border-right:1px solid #000; color:#E0E2E7; display:inline-block; float:left; margin:0; padding:10px 19px; width:auto; text-decoration:none;}
* html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; } /* for IE 6 */
* + html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; } /* for IE 7 */
ul#nav li ul {left:-9999px; position:absolute; list-style:none;}
ul#nav li:hover ul {left:0; position:absolute;}
ul#nav li ul li {}
ul#nav li ul li a {width:230px; background-color:#efefef; color:#2e2e2e; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:10px; font-weight:normal; border-bottom:solid 1px #FFF; padding:7px; margin:0;}
ul#nav li ul li a:hover {background-color:#028efd; background-image:none; color:#FFF;}
I'm really struggling with this. Does anyone know how I can get Menu 3 to display the four drop down items beneath it - not the same width as the Menu 3 button but just inline with it.
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

Try this. It's been adapted from a menu I previously made on another site.
#menu {width:920px; height:35px; padding:0; margin:0; background:url(navBg.jpg) repeat-x; -moz-box-shadow:0px 0px 10px #1c1c1c; -webkit-box-shadow:0px 0px 10px #1c1c1c; box-shadow:0px 0px 10px #1c1c1c;}
ul#nav a {font: 700 11px 'OpenSansRegular', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-transform:uppercase; margin:0; padding:5px 15px; line-height:25px; color: #666; text-decoration: none; display:block; list-style: none;}
ul#nav a:hover, ul#nav a.active {color: #999; background:url(navOn.jpg) repeat-x; text-decoration:none;}
ul#nav {position: relative; margin: 0; padding: 0;}
ul#nav ul {display: none;}
* html #nav li {display:block; float:left; } /* for IE 6 */
* + html #nav li {display:block; float:left; } /* for IE 7 */
ul#nav li, ul#nav li li {position: relative; float: left; list-style: none; border-right:1px solid #000;}
ul#nav li:hover ul {position: absolute; top: 35px; left: -1px; display:block; padding: 0; margin: 0;}
ul#nav li li {width:230px; background-color:#efefef; color:#000; font: normal 10px 'OpenSansRegular', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; border-bottom:solid 1px #FFF; border-right:none; border-left:1px solid #000; padding:0 5px;}
ul#nav li li:hover, ul#nav li li a:hover {background-color:#028efd; color:#FFF;}
<body>
<div id="menu">
<ul id="nav">
    <li><a href="#">Menu 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu 3</a>

"undefined" appearing next to text in CSS Drop-Down menu, why?

Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with a CSS drop-down menu. The menu works fine, as you can see here:
http://littlebuddymedia.com/help/011.html
But the text "undefined" appears next to the main menu options. My question is, why?
I have narrowed the problem down to this chunk of code:
<div class="chromestyle" id="chromemenu">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu1">Resources</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu2">News</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu3">Search</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
If you remove the rel="dropmenu1" portion of the code, the word "undefine" no longer appears, but then the menu doesnt drop-down anymore.
Any ideas?
If it is needed:
Here is the CSS file: http://littlebuddymedia.com/help/chrometheme/chromestyle.css
Here is the JS file:http://littlebuddymedia.com/help/chromejs/chrome.js
Thank you.

When I use FF to view the generated source, I see this -
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu1">Resources undefined</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu2">News undefined</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu3">Search undefined</a></li>
The undefined is coming from the javascript functions that you have loaded in that external file. This function call is what starts it -
<script type="text/javascript">
cssdropdown.startchrome("chromemenu")
</script>

Fix classic apple drop down menu

In classic, I use the "apple menu" folder that appears in the drop down menu for Classic that is in the OS X menu (that 9 that appears if you click "show classic status in menu) in the systems preferences (OSX). This item has disappeared a couple of times when I do some OSX updates or apple security downloads. Might have gone on a verify permissions. Not sure what makes it disappear, but the fix is easy. Turns out that the memory for the classic apple menu items was reset to default of 128, and that created problem. Fix involves remembering how classic worked. Need to open the control panels FOLDER; then click on menu options and hit get information (command I). When it is open, increase the 128 to 258 or whatever, and the "apple menu" folder reappears in classic drop down menu next time you restart.

When OS 9 was used as a primary operating system, the Apple Menu Options control panel was always prone to having its preferences spontaneously and mysteriously corrupted, and at boot time Conflict Catcher often alerted me that AMO was using more memory at startup than it had requested — which might have been the cause of the corruption. I eventually found that the remedy was to allocate a lot more Preferred memory to AMO than the default setting of 128K — especially if one had lots of items and aliases of large folders in the Apple menu. I eventually set mine at 4000K, and my problems with the AMO prefs file and the CC notices at startup went away for good. It's something of a surprise to me that the same misbehavior continues even when OS 9 is only run as Classic within OS X, but your post suggests that it does, John. Good catch!

Drop down menu for services button

This is the code i have for the buttons on the website.
<div id="cssButton" align="center">
    <a href="index3.html" class="button custom">HOME</a>
    <a href="news.html" class="button custom">NEWS</a>
    <a href="services.html" class="button custom">SERVICES</a>
    <a href="portfolio.html" class="button custom">PORTFOLIO</a>
    <a href="about.html" class="button custom">ABOUT US</a>
    <a href="contact.html" class="button custom">CONTACT US</a>
</div>
I'm trying to create a drop down menu for the services button, but not sure how to go about it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Aaron

Structurally, you really should use unordered lists for menus. And use sub-lists for your drop-menus.
<nav>
<ul id="menu">
<li>Menu 1</li>
<li>Menu 2</li>
<li>Menu 3</li>
<li>Menu 4<ul>
     <li>Sub-Menu 4.1</li>
     <li>Sub-Menu 4.2</li>
     <li>Sub-Menu 4.3</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Menu 5</li>
</ul>
</nav>
With some creative CSS, you can have button styled lists that drop. See links below for details:

How can i create a drop down menu for set qty in my store?

I'm wondering how i can create a drop down menu for the qty module that sits on the individual product page. My client sells in quantities of 6 packs. I currently have the minimum order at 6 but i would like to give consumers the option for 6,12,18...and so forth. I was told that it could be accomplished? Hopefully someone can help me.

Hi Chris -
Thank you for your reply! I had seen your article before, and just now again attempted to follow it, but I get stuck. There are two things that I'm confused by.
First off, toward the top, referring to the initial button, you say to add this interaction:
ON CLICK; Play Transition to comboBox: selected
ON ROLL OUT; Play Transition to comboBox normal if comboBox is in over state
ON ROLL OVER; Play Transition to comboBox over if comboBox is in normal
However, I do not see these transition options. When I select the button, the only interactions I have are to Play transistion to state, Play action sequence, Go to URL, and two for videos. So that's the first roadblock for me.
But, trying to get passed that, I went down to the portion of the article that refers to adding interaction to the dataset items. Again, I don't get it, as I see no way to add interaction to a dataset item. When I open my design-time data menu, I do see the items, and am able to rename each item, add additional rows, and change the shape of the datalist layout. However, I see no way to add an interaction to a dataset item. I must be missing a step ... Can you help with this?
Again, thank you!

Drop down menu for a list

Hi, I need to create a type of drop down menu for a
navigation list. Only one button needs a drop down option. I was
wondering if anyone had any suggestion on the best way to go about
it? Is there a way to make the list that drops down to the right
instead of dropping straight down in order to keep the opening
window from getting in the way of the button beneath it. I would
like to do it without changing the order of the navigation list and
having to make it the last button.
Thanks

Drop Down menu for navigation bar

I created a site a couple years ago (with GoLive) with a
navigation bar with rollover states. I would like to create
something very similar to it now in Dreamweaver CS3 but with the
addition of a drop down menu for just a couple of the navigation
icons. I have been told by Adobe tech support on the phone that I
need some custom coding to do this.
To see what the navigation bar looks like now go to
www.aimeeastvillage.com
I DON"T need the drop down choices to be in a whimsical font.
I just don't want to have to direrct the reader to go to an
additional page. PLEASE tell me this is possible for a relative
beginner! Thanks.

CSS Drop down menu; how to align the right edge of drop down and parent menu?

Hello everyone,
I have a drop-down menu that is currently working well.
The only change I need to make is to have the right edge of the drop-down menu to align with the right edge of the parent menu. When you hover over the menu, it currently "drops" down and to the right, with the left edges aligned.
I want the menu to "drop" down and to the left, so the right edges are aligned.
I have tried fiddling with floats and absolute/relative positioning. I'm not sure what needs to be changed.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! I'm learning via "cut and paste", so please go easy on any terminology you may use.
Thank you!

Where is firefox located on my desktop to double click on it. I need to go to tool drop down menu to remove alexa toolbar?

I want to remove alexa toolbar. I did not have it installed as a program, so I cannot remove it there. i need to know where to find firefox to double click it and and click on drop down menu to remove alexa. I do not know how to do this step by step.

archhe, do you see a bar at the top of your Firefox window containing items like '''File''', '''Edit''', '''View''' etc? The '''Tools''' item is on the same bar towards the right side.
In case you are not able to view this bar, do the following: press the '''Alt''' key on your keyboard. Keeping this pressed, type the following keys in this order: V T M.
I hope you should be able to view the '''Tools''' item now on the top bar of Firefox.

CSS Drop Down Menu Problem (only in IE)

Hi Folks,
I have just added a new drop down menu and it seems to work perfectly in every other browser except IE.
In IE the cursor makes the next menu item along drop down and not the one that's hovered over.
I have removed the jquery script and the same problem occurs, so I reckon it must be a CSS problem. Here's the CSS code in case anyone has any ideas what the problem is.
Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated cos I can't figure it out .
Cheers
Dave

it's all on a local set up right non but I will try to pop it up and post a link.
The symptoms are easy to describe though. When you hover over a top level menu item, the list drops down under the link directly to the right.The positioning isn't random, it is exactly in line, just under the wrong heading.
In every other browser it seems to be fine.

What is the URL for Firefox start page, need to put it into drop down menu.

unable to locate the url address for Mozilla Firefox Start Page to add to my drop down menu of homepage choices, I also called customer service 2x and hung up on me both times.
I am attempting to make Firefox my home page as well as default browser, the browser was easy but finding the https www address is not. please advise. I was using Chrome as browser but am in the process of deleting all previous due to malware.

hello, the default homepage in firefox is '''about:home'''.
since you have one adrware addon present in firefox as well, i'd recommend to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner], which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.

How to find the size and resolution option in the aspect ratio drop down menu for the crop tool

while looking through certain tutorials on the new crop system i came across many that referenced the above mentioned size and resolution option in the access ratio drop down menu. They all mention a dialog box which then appears which looks really useful, however my version doesnt have this option. any help would be appreciated.

Yes, definitely already differences. I sympathize with Photoshop instructors (online and offline).

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</form>
</body>
</html>thats my code for part of database, in the parts that go "if CID = 0", thats the new record field, in there right now i just have users put in info into blank input fields, however, i would like to know if i can make certain fields, like Mraketer, and Counterparty fields to have drop down menus, Anyone know??

So basically the main focus of what I was askin is in this block of code below:
if (CID == 0) {
          // Do the insert via a PreparedStatement
          java.sql.PreparedStatement ps = null;
          ps = db.prepareStatement("insert into hit_or_miss values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
          ps.setInt(1, nID);
          ps.setString(2, DE);
          ps.setString(3, SI);
          ps.setString(4, TT);
          ps.setBigDecimal(5, NTL);
          ps.setString(6, ST);
          ps.setString(7, CP);
          ps.setString(8, ED);
          ps.setString(9, SD);
          ps.setString(10, MD);
          ps.setString(11, CT);
          ps.setString(12, MRKTR);
          ps.setBigDecimal(13, SC);
          ps.setBigDecimal(14, MP);
          ps.setString(15, CC);
          ps.executeUpdate();
          out.print("<font color=darkblue>The new record has been inserted into the database successfully</font>");
     } else {
          // Do the update via a PreparedStatement
          // First we insert a row into the archive table
             java.sql.PreparedStatement ps = null;
                ps = db.prepareStatement("update hit_or_miss set date_entered = getdate(), summit_ID = ?, transaction_type = ?, notional = ?, structure = ?, counterparty = ?, expiry_date = ?, start_date = ?, maturity_date = ?, currency_type = ?, marketer = ?, sales_credit = ?, markup = ?, comments_color = ? where hom_ID ="+CID+" ");
          ps.setString(1, DE);
          ps.setString(2, SI);
          ps.setString(3, TT);
          ps.setBigDecimal(4, NTL);
          ps.setString(5, ST);
          ps.setString(6, CP);
          ps.setString(7, ED);
          ps.setString(8, SD);
          ps.setString(9, MD);
          ps.setString(10, CT);
          ps.setString(11, MRKTR);
          ps.setBigDecimal(12, SC);
          ps.setBigDecimal(13, MP);
          ps.setString(14, CC);
          ps.executeUpdate();
          out.print("<font color=darkblue>This record has been updated successfully</font>");
     }     when CID = 0, what it does is it pops up a new window called "New Record" and in this new window, there are boxes where inputs can be made, so that when u hit submit, it submits into the database.
What I want to do is, for example, there is a input field called "Marketer" where one can type in his own name as the Marketer, I want make this into a drop down box, where you can pick the marketer, and not have to type it in.
You know how websies have New User, where you create a new user that is added to their database, and usually the COUNTRY field is a drop down menu where you pick the country from. I would like to do that to my database, and this is the area, or the code, that deal w/ new record "IF CID =0" and edit record "ELSE"
Is this possible?
Thanks in Advance
