| HELP with CSS/Javascript Drop down menu from Dynamic Drive After hours of searching for for a nice looking drop-down menu in CSS I found the perfect one on the Dynamic Drive website. It's working wonderfully - as long as I don't try and position it anywhere on the page except for the default position. As soon as I moved the top menu, the drop-down menu practically disappears off the side of the page. I've looked at the three files involved (a JavaScript file, a CSS file, and the HTML file) for hours until I'm cross eyed but none of the fixes I've tried worked. That's probably because I don't really do any JavaScript coding and I suspect the problem is there. Here is the link to the drop down menu - Example #4: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...roptabmenu.htm Here is what it looks like on the test page am working on: http://66.51.163.67/Indexnew.cfm (you'll see the drop-down boxes are off to the right of the page) And below is the main html file: I enclose the Nav bar in a Div ID called "topbuttons" and coded it like this: position: relative; width: 400px; top: -12%; right: 0px; left: 42%; } The top-level menu is exactly where I want it. The drop-down boxes are driving me absolutely nuts. If I can't get help on this, I'll have to scrap the whole nav bar :'( - something I'd hate to do because it looks great and I've already sunk hours into it trying t get it to work :( <!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=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Le Zeste Catering and Consulting</title> <!-- Meta Information --> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <meta name="keywords" content="Keywords" /> <!-- Stylesheets --><br /> <script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <link href="CSS/default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="header"><img src="images/TopBar.jpg" alt="Le Zeste Catering Menu Items" /> </div> <!-- end div#header --> <div id="toplogo"> <div id="logo"> <img src="images/LaZesteLogoTop.gif" alt="La Zeste Logo" /></div> </div> <!-- end div#toplogo --> <div id="topnav"> <div id="logo2"> <img src="images/LeZesteLogoBottom.gif" alt="La Zeste Logo" /></div> <div id="topbuttons"> <cfinclude template="NavTest1.html"></cfinclude></div> </div> <!-- end div#topnav --> <div id="content"> <div class="column" id="left"> <script type="text/javascript"> AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','width','250','height','250','title','La Zeste Menus','src','images/Zestnav','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','images/Zestnav' ); //end AC code </script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="250" height="250" title="La Zeste Menus"> <param name="movie" value="images/Zestnav.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="images/Zestnav.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="250" height="250"></embed> </object></noscript> </div> <!-- end div.column div#left --> <div id="center"> center content </div> <!-- end div#center --> </div> <!-- end div#content --> <div id="footer"> footer </div> <!-- end div#footer --> </div> <!-- end div#container --> </body> </html> |

| Re: HELP with CSS/Javascript Drop down menu from Dynamic Drive Hi MidMagic, I had to get this working (cauase the job needs to get finished), so I kept thinking of different solutions to try. That evening I managed to fix the problem. If anyone else is having problems with the drop-down boxes lining up when you position the nav bar with CSS - let me know and I'll send you the fix. |

| Re: HELP with CSS/Javascript Drop down menu from Dynamic Drive Could this be a problem with different screen resolutions making a mess of absolute and relative rendering? Either do everything absolute with reference to the same fixed point, or do all of the relative addressing the same way. |

| Re: HELP with CSS/Javascript Drop down menu from Dynamic Drive I I figured it out from a message on another forum. Basically, you need to remove the dropdown menu divs outside everything except for the <body>. Here is the code sample: <html> |
