I am having the worst time trying to incorporate this drop down CSS into my current CSS.
Basically I took a template, edited it and whatnot to make it pretty solid, but now, I need more than 4 menu items which is all the menu really supports in its current state. So I found a CSS drop down menu tutorial but following it really jacks up my code and the live view doesnt look good at all.
Is there a way I can combine these 2 code sections into something usable? I used to do notepad HTML back in the day, but now I am so far out of touch with the code, that it all seems pretty foreign to me.
If you need more info than the code I have posted, let me know. I cant really upload a copy of this, but I can upload the full code places (reasons being this is a company website, and I dont know how much I should be posting before it goes live).
Heres the code.
Code:
/* BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE CSS RESET FOUND IN THE DEMO PAGE'S CSS */
/*------------------------------------*\
NAV
\*------------------------------------*/
#nav{
list-style:none;
font-weight:bold;
margin-bottom:10px;
/* Clear floats */
float:left;
width:100%;
/* Bring the nav above everything else--uncomment if needed.
position:relative;
z-index:5;
*/
}
#nav li{
float:left;
margin-right:10px;
position:relative;
}
#nav a{
display:block;
padding:5px;
color:#fff;
background:#333;
text-decoration:none;
}
#nav a:hover{
color:#fff;
background:#6b0c36;
text-decoration:underline;
}
/*--- DROPDOWN ---*/
#nav ul{
background:#fff; /* Adding a background makes the dropdown work properly in IE7+. Make this as close to your page's background as possible (i.e. white page == white background). */
background:rgba(255,255,255,0); /* But! Let's make the background fully transparent where we can, we don't actually want to see it if we can help it... */
list-style:none;
position:absolute;
left:-9999px; /* Hide off-screen when not needed (this is more accessible than display:none;) */
}
#nav ul li{
padding-top:1px; /* Introducing a padding between the li and the a give the illusion spaced items */
float:none;
}
#nav ul a{
white-space:nowrap; /* Stop text wrapping and creating multi-line dropdown items */
}
#nav li:hover ul{ /* Display the dropdown on hover */
left:0; /* Bring back on-screen when needed */
}
#nav li:hover a{ /* These create persistent hover states, meaning the top-most link stays 'hovered' even when your cursor has moved down the list. */
background:#6b0c36;
text-decoration:underline;
}
#nav li:hover ul a{ /* The persistent hover state does however create a global style for links even before they're hovered. Here we undo these effects. */
text-decoration:none;
}
#nav li:hover ul li a:hover{ /* Here we define the most explicit hover states--what happens when you hover each individual link. */
background:#333;
}

And im trying to merge it with...
Code:
/*==================list====================*/
ul { list-style:none;}
#menu {
padding:9px 0 28px 0;
background:url(images/line-hor.gif) left bottom repeat-x;
width:100%;
overflow:hidden;
margin-bottom:25px;
}
#menu ul li { display:inline;}
#menu ul li a { display:block; float:left; background:url(images/menu-bg.gif) left top repeat-x; margin-right:8px; font-family:"trebuchet ms"; color:#888; text-decoration:none; text-transform:uppercase;}
#menu ul li a em { display:block; background:url(images/menu-left.gif) no-repeat left top;}
#menu ul li a b {
display:block;
background:url(images/menu-right.gif) no-repeat right top;
width:82px;
text-align:center;
font-style:normal;
font-size:1.10em;
padding:1px 0 3px 0;
cursor:pointer;
}
#menu ul li a.last { margin-right:0;}
#menu ul li a:hover { color:#0000FF;}
#menu ul li a.current { color:#0000FF;}
.list1 dt { padding-bottom:6px;}
.list1 dd { padding-bottom:21px;}
If there is a better way of doing it, I am ALL ears. Every time I try and screw with this, it just gets gunked up and doesnt look right.
Thanks again for any help.
