[css-d] Display block?

[Tanya Renne]

I'm having trouble getting the top navigation of a site to behave.

http://www.orchidsuites.net/lucid/lucid3.html

needs to look like the top of:
http://www.lucidllc.com

I've cleared up a lot of things and resolved issues ... and revealed 
others - but now I'm stumped and only making more problems.
Any well meaning, philanthropic folks willing to take a look?

No need to re-invent the wheel, Sander. Try the vertical list on this

If you remove the padding from the  and apply it to the , the 
entire background will change.  That's fine if all of the list elements 
are going to be links.
h3 { ... padding: 0; ... }
a { ... padding: 4px 0 0 8px; }

If you want to keep some non-link elements there, then you'll need to 
keep the padding inside the  and use negative margins to line the 
s up:
h3 { ...
padding: 4px 0 0 8px;
...}
a { ...
padding: 4px 0 0 8px;
 margin: -4px 0 0 -8px;
...}

This second example is probably better as it allows you the flexibility 
to unlink text at a later date.

I've tested this in Firefox 1.5 without any problems; I can't test in IE

at the moment because I've broken it (stupid multiple IE installs :) but

it should work OK.

Re: [css-d] display block a hover menu problem

[Sander van Surksum]

Thanks Rob for the quick answer 

I've changed the a selector but still the same problem. The problem is
that the a hover takes the padding from the normal h3 selector and I
think that why he isn't changing the whole background on a hover. 

But how can I fix this?

See http://www.johnsten.com/css/menu_block.html

Sander

Sander,

The main problem is that you're applying the display:block to the :hover

  section:
#navcontainer h3 a:hover {
...
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
...
}
This needs to be moved to the 'a' selector:
#navcontainer h3 a {
...
display: block;
...
}

That allows you to apply the width to the  element, making the whole 
thing clickable.

Are the links meant to be slightly off-center like they are?
