Vertical CSS Menu help
I have a vertical CSS menu on a page im trying to develop.

menu. Is there a way i can convert it easily at all to make it drop
under the main item? the files/code are linked below. any help you
could provide would be awesome. thanks. you can also contact me
through aim: mack95602
CSS file:

index.php

You would need to add to the CSS of the container element
that the menu is
in 'position: relative;'
And then you would need to set an absolute position for the
submenu (popout)
relative to the containing element its in.

I have created a css popout menu. works great but the borders
of the other div tags show through it. Well, im not supposed to
borders on those div tags. I dont know why they are showing up,
never had the problem before. they are all set to "0" for border.
so why are they showing through my popout menu? even if I did have
borders they shouldnt be seen through the menu. they arent
transparent

I am trying to figure out a way to make a vertical text based
menu that expands to add more links if you click on one of the
selections. For instance, if I had a list of items, ie Item A, Item
B, Item C, Item D in a vertical manner, and you click on Item B,
then it would open up and you would see a list such as Item A, Item
B, subItem B1, subItem B2, subItem B3, Item C, Item D, again in a
vertical manner. Does this make sense? And I want it to remain text
based, rather than graphical. I have tried fooling with the menu
found at
http://simplythebest.net/scripts/DHTML_scripts/dhtml_script_15.html,
but I cannot figure out how to make it so that I can add more
categories.

Help with vertical spry menu bar submenu displaying incorrectly!
I’m new to Dreamweaver and am learning as I go. I am having a problem with the vertical spry menu bar submenu in the Live View. When I scroll over the spry menu bar option that has a submenu, the submenu appears in the upper right hand corner of my screen. (My menu bar is going down the left hand side.) However, when I preview it in Internet Explorer it looks fine after I allow the Java Script to run or the Active X controls, which my browser usually automatically blocks. (The browser just displays a small message along the top and I click on it to allow it.) To get it to do this much, I had to play around with the CSS for the spry menu bar a little bit.
Before, when I clicked on the Live View option, a small message ran along the top in Dreamweaver saying it couldn’t find the Flash Plugin and asked me to download the most recent FlashPlayer, which I did twice. It continued to say that and then I just closed that message that kept popping up, but I think that has something to do with the problem. I then researched that problem in the Spry Framework Help and Dreamweaver Help, but couldn’t find a solution that worked. (Someone had posted a link for downloading the Flash Player for Netscape Navigator, but that didn’t seem to do anything.)
Please also note that I am using one of Dreamweaver’s pre-built layouts. I don’t know if that makes a difference with this problem.
How do I fix this problem so that it displays correctly in the LiveView? And will the message that I get on my browser about allowing blocked content appear on other people’s computer when they open my website?IE is a big problem child among browsers. Don't use it as your default browser.
For best results, build your site to display & perform well in the web standards browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Safari & Opera. If it works in one, it should work pretty much the same in all of them.
After you're satisfied with how your site looks in the good browsers, then test in IE. If needed, add hacks or conditional comments to make IE behave. There are many web sites that discuss known bugs in IE and how to work around them.
Lastly, the active X nag screens only appear locally. Once deployed on the remote server, you won't see them.
For better answers to your layout questions, we need to see your page. Can you post a URL?

I posted this in the general forum, but thought I'd repost
here since this is more specific to Spry.
I'm having issues in IE (6 & 7...surprise, surprise) with
my vertical spry menu. It displays exactly the way I want it when I
use Opera. I think it has to do with the whitespace:nowrap on the
2nd level menu items, but I really don't know. I want the 2nd level
menu to be different width than the 3rd level, so I have both
levels set to auto width with nowrap.
This is how it looks in IE 7:
Menu
in IE
This is how it looks in Opera (correct):
Menu
in Opera
Attached is my CSS as well. Let me know if you need the HTML,
too.
Thank you for helping!

I want each of the blue menus to have a black border around
it (so 4 borders in total). And how do I make each menu have a
closer gap? I need them squashed up a little bit more vertically.
The code is as follows -
<style type="text/css">

sans-serif;
border: #000000;
#ddblueblockmenu li a{
display: block;
padding: 5px 0;
padding-left: 9px;
width: 169px; /*185px minus all left/right paddings and
margins*/
text-decoration: none;
color: white;

here*/

padding: 1px 0;
padding-left: 5px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
font: bold 60% 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Arial,

</style>

um... that's what I meant... the OP had all four sides styled
separately,
with 0 for one side... but mentioned he wanted a border on
all sides....
hence my arrow pointing out the side that had 0 for border
and what could
be used as a shortcut method of styling the border....
Maybe my post wasn't exactly clear ;-)

CSS Menu - Dropdown list help.
Hi guys,
I am re-creating a website for a friend and I am currently finding coding the CSS Menu difficult.
Here is MY version of the website:
http://abacusmortgages.co.uk/index.html
Here is the current version I am trying to copy:
http://sdhmarketing.co.uk/
Pages: Our client types and What do you need have special css menu dropdown lists which come up when you hover over the button.
Here is the CSS code I have so far:
#holding ul {
margin: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
list-style-type: none;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bolder;
color: #506F1A;
background-image: url(images/navbg.jpg);
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
top: -3px;
#holding ul li {
float: left;
width: 200px;
margin: 0px;
font-weight: bold;
#holding ul li a {
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 11pt;
color: #506F1A;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: Transparent;
text-align: center;
display: block;
padding: 5px;
#navigation {
#holding ul li a:hover {
color: #FFF;
background-color: #333;
font-weight: bolder;
font-size: 14px;
.menu {
Here is the HTML I am using:
<ul>
<li><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li>
<li><a href="ourclienttypes.html">OUR CLIENT TYPES</a></li>
<li><a href="whatdoyouneed.html">WHAT DO YOU NEED?</a></li>
<li><a href="casestudies.html">CASE STUDIES</a></li>
<li><a href="managementteam.html">MANAGEMENT TEAM</a></li>
</ul>
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks all!You, essentially, have an issue with float: left;
Here's the deal, when you float list items left, they'll line up to the left, even though your navigation is centered.
They have also done this website in a manner that does not line up with what the W3C considers a standard for websites, but that's another issue.
Here's their HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>wanted</title>
<link href="wanted.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="page">
<div id="head">
<div style="width:100%; float:left;">
<div id="name2"></div>
<div id="name1"></div>
</div>
<div id="slogan"></div>
</div>
<div id="top"><a class="topsel1" href = "http://sdhmarketing.co.uk/index.php">HOME</a><a class="top1" href = "http://sdhmarketing.co.uk/who.php">OUR CLIENT TYPES</a><a class="top1" href = "http://sdhmarketing.co.uk/what.php">WHAT DO YOU NEED?</a><a class="top1" href = "http://sdhmarketing.co.uk/case_studies.php">CASE STUDIES</a><a class="top1" href = "http://sdhmarketing.co.uk/team.php">MANAGEMENT TEAM</a> </div>
<div id="maintop"></div>
</body>
</html>
Now, here's the problem. They have one line with all of their navigation. So they started out with (on the same line):
HOME OUR CLIENT TYPES WHAT DO YOU NEED? CASE STUDIES MANAGEMENT TEAM
Then, they selected each menu item and gave it a style and a link. That's pretty bad practice, because how do you manage that? Also, how do blind people figure out it's a navigation? Also, what if you want sub-menus?
But you like how it's pretty and I respect that.
This is how to really do it:
HTML:
<div id="top">
<ul>
<li>HOME</li>
<li>OUR CLIENT TYPES</li>
<li>WHAT DO YOU NEED?</li>
<li>CASE STUDIES</li>
<li>MANAGEMENT TEAM</li>
</ul> <!--ends the list -->
</div> <!--ends top -->
You see here, I have an Unordered List for my navigation. Because it's an unordered list, I can easily add new items, add sub-lists (drop-down menus) and really make this puppy sing. Unfortunately, when you look at this with no style, you'll see something pretty boring and it won't be horizontal. We change all of that in the style sheet.
First, before we do anything else, we'll make everything into a link. We can change those links later on when we build the rest of our pages.
<ul>
<li><a href="#">HOME</a></li>
<li><a href="#">OUR CLIENT TYPES</a></li>
<li><a href="#">WHAT DO YOU NEED?</a></li>
<li><a href="#">CASE STUDIES</a></li>
<li><a href="#">MANAGEMENT TEAM</a></li>
</ul> <!--ends the list -->
An hash "#" is a link that simply calls the page you are on. It's a bona-fide link and it will create what you want.
Now, we need to set up styles.
Let's set up the list by getting rid of bullet points (the default) and give it a little padding:
Make a new style sheet, call it how-to.css. It will be blank so we'll add a style. We will need to link to it from our HTML page, so add the following to the <head> section:
<link href="how-to.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Now, we make a blank CSS page and we call it how-to.css. Put it in the root of your defined site in Dreamweaver for now. And we'll define list objects within the div they naked top:
#top li {
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
padding-right: 20px;
Now, you'll see that our list is suddenly horizontal! Cool! But links are blue by default and underlined. Did we want that? No. So let's style links:
#top a {
float:left;
padding: 5px 20px 2px 20px;
font-size: 13px;
height:23px;
color:#506F1A;
display: block;
letter-spacing: -0.2px;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
Now, I'm borrowing heavily from their styles here.
But we have to set up the #top framework and here's that (it should go before everything else in your style sheet)
#top {
width:990px;
padding:0px 10px 0px 0px;
height:35px;
margin:0px 0 0 0;
background-image: url("navbg.jpeg");
background-repeat: repeat-x;
Now, it's just about done. They used an Arial typeface and the default is Times Roman. Let's add a little more to the #top id:
Now let's make backgrounds change when we hover and when we have one selected.
#top a:hover {
background-color: #444;
color: #fff;
And make a background behind the page you are on, with a hover:
.selected {
background-color:#777777;
color:white !important;
.selected a:hover {
background-color: #444;
color: #fff;
Now you're pretty much done.
Here is how to style the entire thing in CSS:
#top {
width:990px;
padding:0px 10px 0px 0px;
height:35px;
margin:0px 0 0 0;
background-image: url("navbg.jpeg");
background-repeat: repeat-x;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
#top li {
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
padding-right: 20px;
#top a {
float:left;
padding: 10px 20px 5px 20px;
font-size: 13px;
height:26px;
color:#506F1A;
display: block;
letter-spacing: -0.2px;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
margin-top: -5px;
#top a:hover {
background-color: #444;
color: #fff;
.selected {
background-color:#777777;
color:white !important;
.selected a:hover {
background-color: #444;
color: #fff; -
Spry Vertical Navigation menu with secondary flyout menu not showing
I'm using Windows and CS3. I have a vertical spry menu with one of the items opening to a secondary vertical menu. The menu is positioned left and I want the flyout menu to open so it can be seen on top of the central content column. I have a background color on the central div and when I hover over the item on the menu bar, you can't see the secondary menu opening. But I know it is there as I have removed the central div and when previewed in the browser (IE) it works fine. But when I replace the central div, the secondary menu is hidden again. I don't want to play around too much as I know Javascript is involved and I can easily ruin those elements which are now working. I hope someone can suggest something reasonably straight forward to assist.
The code is the standard stuff - I have only modified colours basicall with one or two other tweaks to fit the space:

Thanks.Frank,
The code that you have shown us re SpryMenuBarVertical.css is correct so that we can assume that the problem lies elsewhere.
Because you have not shown the rest of the code, we can only make assumptions which may or may not help. From the above screen shot, I see that you are using AP's (Absolute Positioned) elements. This is a NO NO!!!
Have a look at the following wich achieves the same, but without AP's. Just copy and paste in a new document and view in any browser.

Background png doesn't show right in vertical spry menu in IE
Hi,
My vertical spry menu background gradient png is fine in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc. But in IE it shows white. I have it posted on a temporary site: http://bethniebuhr.com
Can you help me fix the IE?
Thanks.At the bottom the SpryMenuBarVertical.css you have
/* HACK FOR IE: to stabilize appearance of menu items; the slash in float is to keep IE 5.0 from parsing */
@media screen, projection
ul.MenuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE
display: inline;
f\loat: left;
background: #FFF;
Either set the value to transparent or remove the line altogether.

Hi all,
well, i have developed a vertical hover menu for my portal by following a blog posted here on SDN, but somehow my requirement is not getting fullfill, i want the TLN to be more interactive and more attrative, i have coded a css file also and after total 3 days of trying with many options i am left no clue at all,
For reference here is something i am trying to do like :
http://www.ibsolution.de
I tried using the css property for displaying an image in TLN :
BACKGROUND: url(/images/ameya.gif) fixed;
But it is not working, any help on how can i change the shapes of TLN like the above mentioned site has?
What changes in CSS is to be made? If anyone has done this then kindly help me in solving this probelm..
Kindly put your thoughts as i am running out of the time !!
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
AmeyaHi Ameya,
In the page you are refering to (http://www.ibsolution.de) the TLN is implemented in Adobe Flash with "last minute data injection".
This means that the framework for this TLN is implemented in flash but that the TLN data is coning from the TAG libs....
The best you could do without using flash is to add some fancy javascript...
Maybe the following website can provide you a good sample to build on:[http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/|http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/]

Hi there.
I'm browsing a lot of sites and scripts for Vertical Accordion Menus; something like this: http://www.i-marco.nl/weblog/jquery-accordion-menu/#
BUT, I need to know from you: What is consider as general practice about what triggers the dfferent menus & sub-menus.
I want a menu that falls out on mouse-over and "rolls back" on mouse-out; no clicking and I don't want any menu to be "open" when the mouse does not hover above it.
Now, what is regarded a common practise: click or mouse-over?
Is it OK not to have a sub-menu opened. See attached link. The whole menu can not be retrackted and want to open some menu.
Thanx for your help.
If anyone can point to a nice vertical accordion menu, I will really appreciate it.
Regards,
DeonHi Deon,
Have you checked Project VII and there Accordian Extension? http://www.projectseven.com
Its quite well done and eaily customizable i f you know some basic CSS.
Brad
Edit: Oh, on click is the general practice for that. -
Vertical Spry menu bar--adjusting bottom submenu
I'm trying to adjust the last submenu on my vertical Spry menu bar. Originally, the submenu caused the page to either expand when I moused over the submenu (in IE), or the page would load with white space below the footer in order to accomodate the submenu when I mouse over it (in Firefox). The adjustment I want is to move the submenu up so that neither of those things happen. I've made the adjustment appear exactly how I want it to in Chrome and Safari, but IE, Firefox, and Opera now have the submenu placed halfway up the page. I can post the code if it's helpful, but I do not have the site hosted anywhere at the moment. The adjustment I made is in the Spry menu's css:
ul.MenuBarVertical ul#last
margin: -205% 0 0 95%;
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
SarahThanks for the reply. After changing the code to your suggestion, now the submenu loads approximately 80px below the last menu item in all browsers except IE. In IE, the submenu looks the way it did straight out of the box. Any other ideas to try?

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome
Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function. Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

How to get rid of the line encasing the left hand side of a vertical spry menu?
Hi,
I have created a vertical spry menu bar. It all works but there is a line like this [ encasing the left hand side of the menu. Does anyone know how to get rid of this?
Thanks!Line 73 in your Spry css calls for a border
ul.MenuBarVertical{
border: 1px solid #ccc;
Either remove the rule or change the #ccc to #fff -
Vertical Spry Menu-IE alters positioning. How do I fix this? Works in all other browsers correctly.
I've recently uploaded a new website and am having a glitch with internet explorer with the vertical spry menu. It appears perfectly in all other browsers. I had added css rules to move up some of the longer submenus so they would all appear on the screen without needing to scroll down on the main page to view them. In internet explorer, it positions the top menu item, but the rest of the list does not follow in suit. Any ideas? This is super frustrating! Thanks!
link is here:
http://www.academypublishing.comHi,
I see now and it's really a little crazy, because the menus are there, just not where they should be.
I still need to investigate the matter thoroughly a little more closely, because I never saw it till now. Too bad that Gramps has not seen the thread, I'm convinced he will do the trick immediately! What if you would write a letter to him?By the way, did you make a try it with the original version of "SpryMenuBarVertical.css".
