little css trouble

LJackson · 10-31-2012, 07:53 PM

I have a tooltip set up with just css and its working fine if the code is not wrapped in <li> tags

my css is

Code:

<style type="text/css">
a.tt{
    position:relative;
    z-index:24;
    color:#3CA3FF;
	font-weight:bold;
    text-decoration:none;
}
a.tt span{ display: none; }

/*background:; ie hack, something must be changed in a for ie to execute it*/
a.tt:hover{ z-index:25; color: #aaaaff; background:;}
a.tt:hover span.tooltip{
    display:block;
    position:absolute;
    top:0px; left:0;
	padding: 15px 0 0 0;
	width:200px;
	color: #993300;
    text-align: center;
}
a.tt:hover span.top{
	display: block;
	padding: 30px 8px 0;
    background: url(bubble.gif) no-repeat top;
}
a.tt:hover span.middle{ /* different middle bg for stretch */
	display: block;
	padding: 0 8px; 
	background: url(bubble_filler.gif) repeat bottom; 
}
a.tt:hover span.bottom{
	display: block;
	padding:3px 8px 10px;
	color: #548912;
    background: url(bubble.gif) no-repeat bottom;
}
</style>

and if my code is like so

PHP Code:


			
                <a href="#" class="tt">

                    <?php echo $serv->name?>

                    <span class="tooltip">

                        <span class="top"></span>

                        <span class="middle"><?php echo $serv->description?></span>

                        <span class="bottom"></span>

                    </span>

                </a>

                <span class="price">£<?php echo $serv->price?></span>

                <span class="filler">&nbsp;</span>

but not if the above code is wrapped in <li> tags like so

PHP Code:


			
                <li><a href="#" class="tt">

                    <?php echo $serv->name?>

                    <span class="tooltip">

                        <span class="top"></span>

                        <span class="middle"><?php echo $serv->description?></span>

                        <span class="bottom"></span>

                    </span>

                </a>

                <span class="price">£<?php echo $serv->price?></span>

                <span class="filler">&nbsp;</span></li>

what do i need to change in my css code to get it working properly

many thanks

Hello LJackson,
I can't seem to duplicate your issue with the code you've provided. The tooltip works (in FF) both wrapped in <li> tags or not.

Do you have a demo site up?

not sure what was causing it not to work in the first place :O
