dropdown menu in IE7,8 needs fixin' - javascript

I've had lots of success in getting IE to play nice in the past, but I'm buffaloed here. The dropdown menu is visible and works, but it's having some margin/padding issues and no matter what kind of conditional statement or hack I try to employ, it won't straighten out.
Example page: www.erisdesigns.net
HTML (links removed so that I can post):
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<ul id="nav">
<dl class="dropdown">
<dt id="one-ddheader" onmouseover="ddMenu('one',1)" onmouseout="ddMenu('one',-1)"></dt>
<dd id="one-ddcontent" onmouseover="cancelHide('one')" onmouseout="ddMenu('one',-1)">
<ul>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>
</dd>
</dl>
<dl class="dropdown">
<dt id="two-ddheader" onmouseover="ddMenu('two',1)" onmouseout="ddMenu('two',-1)"></dt>
<dd id="two-ddcontent" onmouseover="cancelHide('two')" onmouseout="ddMenu('two',-1)">
<ul>
<li></li>
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>
</dd>
</dl>
</ul>
</div>
CSS:
#nav {
top:80px;
width:65%;
margin-left:600px;
padding:0;
background:#999;
text-align:center;
list-style:none;
position:relative;
z-index:3;
}
.dropdown {float:left; text-align:center; font-size:14px; padding-right:5px; color:#FFF;}
.dropdown dt {width:175px; padding:8px; font-weight:bold; cursor:pointer; background:transparent;}
.dropdown dt:hover {background:transparent; color:#000;}
.dropdown dd {position:absolute; width:175px; display:none; background:transparent; z-index:200; opacity:0;}
.dropdown ul {width:175px; margin-top:23px; list-style:none;}
.dropdown li {display:inline-block; margin-left:-108px; float:left; padding-left:35px; text-align:left;}
.dropdown a, .dropdown a:active, .dropdown a:visited {display:inline-block; padding:5px 0px 10px 15px; color:#CCC; text-decoration:none; background:#999; width:175px; float:left;}
.dropdown a:hover {background:#999; color:#000;}
.dropdown a.menu {background:transparent; width:200px; float:left; text-align:left; color:#FFF;}
.dropdown a.menu:hover {color:#000}

Imo too much markup. Try replacing <ul id="nav"> with <div id="nav"> since you are not wrapping anything with <li></li> so IE might have some problem with that.

What i did was change the width of the image from absolute to 100%:
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24" src="https://montaviustech.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/death_to_stock_photography_vibrant-10-of-10.jpg" alt="death_to_stock_photography_vibrant-10-of-10" width="absolute" height="" />

Just set the width of the image to 100%. That will align menu-bar and image.

You can use javascript to change the attribute:
I made a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/bLbdavqu/3/
function show(){
var show = document.getElementById('the_menu');
show.setAttribute('style','display:inline');
}
You can wrap it inside a div to make it easier and then change the display from none to inline. Question: do you want to give users the change to hide the menu when they click again on menu?
Or, if you are ready to use jquery, just use toggle:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('button').click(function () {
$("#toggle").toggle();
});});

$('#the_menu').show();
$('#pulls').attr('onClick','show(0)');
} else {
$('#the_menu').hide();
$('#pulls').attr('onClick','show(1)');
}
}
</script>
You can use JQuery to toggle Menu http://jsfiddle.net/bLbdavqu/8/
Just Change the CSS of the ul.
Hide List- $( "#mylist" ).css("display","none");
Show List- $( "#mylist" ).css("display","block");
I think you want to show the menu items("Home","About Gnosis",etc) on click of link "menu" and
again hide these items on click of link "menu" . I made a jsfiddle for you http://jsfiddle.net/Tushar490/kL1dgvmr/6/

Script :-
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#pull").on('click',function () {
$("#bs-example-navbar-collapse-2").toggle();
});
});
In CSS you just need to remove "float:left;" from "#pull" .
Hope this would help to you !!
here is the solution please see the code at
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#test').hide();$('#pull').click(function () {$("#test").toggle();});});

centering links in a drop down javascript menu

I have a drop down menu that has sub menus, the entire menu spans the whole width of the browser, right now the links are all positioned to the left of the screen. What I would like is my links to be all in the center of the screen, with the orange background still spanning the entire width of the browser.
Here is the code:
inside the head goes the javascript and the css, and the rest in the body:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#menu li").hover(function(){
$(this).children(":hidden").slideDown();
},function(){
$(this).parent().find("ul").slideUp();
});
});
</script>
<style>
#menu{
height: 30px;
background-color:#F90;
}
#menu li li:hover{
background-color:yellow;
cursor:pointer;
}
#menu ul, #menu li{
list-style-type:none;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
#menu li{

width:120px;

#menu li ul{

background-color:#f90;
display:none;
}
#menu li li{
float:none;
padding:2px;
}
#menu a{
color:#000;
text-decoration:none;
}
</style>
<div id="menu">

<li>Submenu2</li>

width:100%;
}
#menu li li:hover{
background-color:yellow;

margin:auto;/*Add this*/

expanding the width of drop down menu

how to increase the width of drop down menu...
when you hover over the services link a drop down menu pop up appears....
in this pop up i have included the text fields so i need to increase the width of the drop down menu....
i tried increasing the width of sub class all form fields becomes inline but not working....
providing my code below....
http://jsfiddle.net/3VBQ6/1/embedded/result/
<ul class="sub">
<li><a href="#nogo23"><span class='label'>Name</span>
<span><input type="text" name="lastname" /></span></a>
</li>
<li>Company <span><input type="text" name="lastname" /></span>
</li>
<li>Email <span><input type="text" name="lastname" /></span>
</li>
<li><input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</li>
</ul>
try to change the ul and li width to auto and add a min-width:90px
like this:
#nav li:hover ul.sub {
left:1px;
top:38px;
background: #bbd37e;
padding:3px;
border:1px solid #5c731e;
white-space:nowrap;
width: auto;
min-width:90px;
height:auto;
z-index:300;
}
#nav li:hover ul.sub li {
display:block;
height:20px;
position:relative;
float:left;
width: auto;
min-width:90px;
font-weight:normal;
}
#nav li:hover ul.sub li a {
display:block;
font-size:11px;
height:18px;
width: auto;
min-width:90px;
line-height:18px;
text-indent:5px;
color:#000;
text-decoration:none;
border:1px solid #bbd37e;
}
Also I added some styles for the input fields
#nav li:hover ul.sub li a input {
font-size:11px;
height:18px;
width: auto;
min-width:90px;
line-height:18px;
color:#000;
text-decoration:none;
}
You've got hard coded widths for all the submenus which you do not need.
If you remove all the widths and the float:left; item from 'ul.sub li' which is not needed
You can target that specific menu item by adding a class to it you can adjust just that item via CSS.
#nav li:hover ul.sub.frm { width: 155px; }
.frm a .label { display: inline-block; width: 60px; }
.frm a input[type="text"] { width: 80px; }

JS
function showmenu(idm)
{
document.getElementById(idm).style.display='';
}
function hidemenu(idmn)
{
document.getElementById(idmn).style.display='none';
}
any suggestion would be appreciated.
hi i have a suggestion for you why not you use a navigation code without javascript try this
let me know if you have any issue or you want to use only javascript navigation
go this below link
http://jsfiddle.net/sarfarazdesigner/pNAkf/
or u can copy this code
css code :
*{margin:0; padding:0}
body{font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:14px; background:#f7f7f7;}
#wrapper{width:980px; margin:50px auto;}
#nav{list-style:none; background:#333; height:30px; line-height:30px;}
ul#nav > li{
float:left;
border-right:1px solid #ccc;
position:relative;
}
ul#nav li a{
padding:0 15px;
display:block;
text-decoration:none;
color:#fff;
}
#nav li a:hover{
background:#ccc;
}
ul.subnavi{
list-style:none;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
background: #fff;
display:none;
}
ul.subnavi li{
display:block;
width:120px;
float:none;
}
ul#nav li ul.subnavi li a{
color:#333;
}
ul#nav li ul.subnavi li a:hover {
background:#333;
color:#fff;
}
#nav li:hover ul{
display:block;
}
html code is:
<div id="wrapper">
<ul id="nav">
<li>Home</li>
<li>Services
<ul class="subnavi">
<li>Link 1</li>
<li>Link 2</li>
<li>Link 3</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Products</li>
<li>FaQs</li>
<li>Contact
<ul class="subnavi">
<li>Link 1</li>
<li>Link 2</li>
<li>Link 3</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Blog</li>
</ul>
</div>
your css for .top_nav ul affects all the ul in the topnav class
try adding this to your css
.DDmenu
{
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #DDDDDD; // just to show your result
display: none;
margin-left: -24px;
position: absolute;
}
