Re: [css-d] CSS drop-down menu issues
Compare your page in FF, Chrome, and Opera. First place to start is to validate the markup. You’re right..thank you..I need to get into the habit of doing that as with using Firebug to help find issues.. I keep thinking of validating as what you do when you’re done yet “getting done” involves valid code! ;-) John __ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
Re: [css-d] CSS drop-down menu issues
Hi John,
Try replacing these declarations. I think this is what your wanting.
/* new header nav */
#main_nav{
/* border:1px solid red; */
/* border:1px solid rgb(255,255,255); */
/* float:left; */
/* width:100%; */
}
#main_nav ul{
list-style-type:none;
/* position:relative; */
margin:.5em 0 0 0;
padding:0 0 0 1.25em;
}
#middle{
/* border:1px solid green; */
margin:0;
/* padding:2em 0 0 0; */
/*overflow: :hidden;*/
}
#footer_nav ul li ul{
margin:1em 0 0 0;
/* position:absolute; */
visibility:hidden;
opacity:0;
transition:visibility 0s linear 0.35s, opacity 0.5s linear;
}
HTH,
Best,
