At the moment, I'm developing a layout for work, and I'm just a tiny bit stuck with a dynamic drop down menu. I'm using a child 'ul' within an 'li' element that will display the children of the navigation links - but the 'li' above (so the main one, that you hover on to view the children), stretches to the length of the 'ul', which is, of course, defined by the width of the 'li' elements inside that.
Also, I'm using jQuery to display the child items when the user hovers over the parent navigation item.
However, I need this not to happen! Here's a screenshot link: http://d.pr/v5Wk (I'm sorry - I'm not registered, so I can't post images! D: )
Basically, I need to get rid of the gap on the right of 'Section One', dynamically, without defining any preset widths.
Here's the HTML:
<div class="menu">
<ul class="navigation">
<li>
Section One
<ul class="children">
<li>
Child Item One
</li>
<li>
Test
</li>
<li>
Test
</li>
<li>
Test
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Section Two
</li>
<li>
Section Three
</li>
<li>
Section Four
</li>
<li>
Section Five
</li>
<li>
Section Six
</li>
</ul>
</div>
And here's the CSS:
.menu { width: 100%; overflow: hidden; display: block; position: absolute; margin: 75px auto; background: #666 url('../image/stripe.png'); }
ul.navigation { list-style-type: none; width: 900px; margin: 0 auto; }
ul.navigation li a { color: #fff; text-decoration: none; display: block; padding: 10px; }
ul.navigation li a:hover { color: #fff; background: #444 url('../image/stripe_active.png');}
ul.navigation li { float: left; }
ul.navigation li ul.children { list-style-type: none; display: block; overflow: hidden; position: relative; z-index: 1; }
ul.navigation li ul.children li { color: #fff; float: left; font-size: 11px; white-space: nowrap; }
Any help on this would be great!
Many thanks,
Matt
ul.navigation li ul.children {
list-style-type: none;
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
top: 2em;
left: auto;
right: auto;
}
If you still can't see them, add height: 5em to ul.navigation
Position:Absolute causes an element to be rendered at a specific spot on the page, taking it out of the normal flow. Since it is no longer being rendered inside the topnav li, it doesn't cause it's width to be too large.
Have you tried to position:absolute the children?
Does it need to be an ul/li solution? wouldn't it be easier to update the contents of the submenu with javascript when you hover over the top nav?

I'm trying to create a slideshow for my website, where it doesn't use any timer of a kind because that's what I have right now, but I want the user to be able to use the navigational buttons. I've been trying to google it but everything I come across seems really complex and I can't get a hold of it. So was wondering if anyone here would be willing to explain how I would do that.
Here a picture of the situation is and how I'm gonna use it. It's an overlay.
does you website support bootstrap if its is you can use bootstrap Carousel slider.
you can stop auto slide by setting the property
$('.carousel').carousel({
interval: false
});

I am using a responsive navigation solution called Naver (http://formstone.it/components/Naver) for my websites. However, I am running into issues when I use the responsive navigation in a fixed width (like a grid for example). The responsive navigation takes the width of it's parent element and doesn't show at 100% width.
Here are two examples, one with the navigation inside of a grid and one just floated to the right:
http://jsfiddle.net/9FCq2/11/
http://jsfiddle.net/9FCq2/10/
Note: I have a couple of external resources in each of those fiddles.
I'm wondering how I can somehow adjust my CSS or JavaScript to make my responsive dropdown show at 100% when clicked on, no matter what the width of the parent element.

Naver jQuery library: http://formstone.it/components/Naver/jquery.fs.naver.js
You need to give the nav and it's top container width of 100%. By doing this you guarantee that both will take 100% of your screen's width (or whatever is the container both are in)
for your first jsfiddle use .naver-wrapper{width:100%;} because naver-wrapper is the top parent for your navigation. Check here
while in your second example you have to give both the navigation and the top container (parent) width:100% Check here
.naver-wrapper{width:100%;}
.float-right{width:100%;}
Use Below CSS. I hope this is useful for you:
CSS
.naver.enabled .naver-wrapper{
overflow: hidden; position: absolute; left: 0px; width: 100%; }
I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I'm trying to make a simple folio site, and I have this link in the top nav that when clicked on would appear a horizontal menu underneath the header. So far I have goten it to work with just css, but I don't like how the menu appears when hovered, it would look much more professional if it appeared when clicked and stayed there until you click on the same link again. if anyone could help me that'll be great. I've tried all sorts of java tutorials and won't very successful I didn't fully understand it.
<header>
<a class="home" href="../index.htm" title="Home Page"></a>
<a class="to_nav" href="#nav" ></a>
<div class="logo">
<a href="#top">
<h1>Deeran</h1>
<span>Graphic Design</span>
</a>
</div>
<nav>
<ul class="drop">
<li>
<a id="menu"></a>
<ul class="hide">
<li>Portfolio</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Contact/Hire</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
And here's the css
nav {margin: 0; padding: 0;}
nav ul li a#menu {
display: block;
width: 67px;
height: 50px;
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
margin-top: 9px;
margin-right: 15px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 15px;
}
nav ul ul.hide {
display: none;
list-style: none;
margin: 10px 0 0;
text-indent: none;
clear: both;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
}
nav ul ul.hide li {margin: 0;}
nav ul li:hover > ul {
display: block;
list-style-type: none;
}
if there was one simple way to convert that one :hover function to onClick I would be very grateful :)
make
nav ul li:hover > ul {
display: block;
list-style-type: none;
}
to
nav ul li.active > ul {
display: block;
list-style-type: none;
}
Then use javascript to add a class active onClick.
What makes SO wonderful is that we can refer to similar cases easily :)
For javascript part please refer this answer .
Add/Remove class onclick with JavaScript no librarys
The 'click' event cannot be listened for with css. Remove your :hover rule and add some JavaScript. In the code you provided, you don't have anything in the #menu element for the user to click on, so I added some text for the fiddle.
http://jsfiddle.net/Fc75u/
JavaScript:
var toggle = document.getElementById('menu');
var menu = document.getElementsByClassName('hide');
toggle.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
menu[0].style.display == "block" ? menu[0].style.display = "none" : menu[0].style.display = "block";
});
jQuery:
$('#menu').click(function () {
$('.hide').toggle();
});
I am making a drop-up using li nested in ul but am not able to set the width of li to dynamically match the width of the ul.
Please note that the li elements are constricted within a drop-up list.
The below looks like too much css but in essence it's just about the ul and li.

The width of the li seems to be the same as the ul by default.
Atleast based on my experiments here http://jsfiddle.net/dwCsW/
If you remove the ul width it will be 100%, and by setting ul width the li will follow.
So there must be something else in your code removing that.
You could either give the li's a percentage width in the css... there are 7 of them, right? so maybe make each 10% wide, put 4% between each one and 3% at the beginning and end? Or, you could use JavaScript and detect the page resize event, then get the page/ul width and set the width of each li item using some good ol' fashioned number crunchin'!
I followed a great example of how to make a sub-menu appear/disappear on click here and made it work. Quite an accomplishment since I'm just starting with javascript. But just as I made it work a few other problems came up, I'll try to explain:
1.- I have a vertical main menu and one of the options, 'Products' has a sub-category that opens on hover below the parent item. When selecting one of its sub-categories, a bigger menu shows up in a new div to the right of the main menu. When this happens, the selected sub-category changes color and displays a bullet so the user knows which sub-category they are viewing. I was doing this using PHP to detect the current page and assign an "active" id. But when I had it like that the sub-menu show/hide didn't work and all the options were showing when first entering the page. So I changed the link reference from "page.php" to "#" ---which makes more sense since that option is not meant to be a link rather than just display another sub-menu but had to include it for the sake of displaying the 'active' id--- and now the show/hide works except after I click a sub-category, the menu to the right opens, but the previously selected sub-category that opens on hover closes and the php detect function doesn't work because I changed the reference to "#" and the link doesn't show an 'active' status; in fact, the 'home' option stays selected even when the second div is already showing.
It sounds confusing, I know. Here's the example, I hope it's clear what I'm trying to do. I'd appreciate if anyone knows a way around this.
2.- Once I can get this fixed, is there a way to make the second div slide from left to right instead of fading in?
Thanks in advance :)
