 This solution helps for tooltips, not for menus...

Bury an ul inside it. Or rather: replace the span with an ul. Set
list-style to none, then use li for your menu items, position and
give them pretty colors with CSS. then you can put more hyperlinks
inside the li's. It's not so very hard, do a search for css menu
on the web or something :)

 I'd just use Son of Suckerfish and do an image replacement on the
 topmost menu items. Sorted.

[css-d] Reliable Dropdowns?

2006-03-09 Thread Spike Spencer
Hi guys,

We're looking for a reliable method of doing the following. Everything
we have tried just doesn't work.

First of all, our site is center-aligned. There are four circular
images that, when in the :hover state, need to display a menu beneath
them (Hey, I didn't write the design brief!) all on the same line.

Crucially, it needs to be liquid and display fine in IE6/FF1.5

Any takers?!

Hi Spike,
It sounds like you can solve it with:
a id=circle1 href=#stayhereimg src=circle1.gifspanmenu 
over here/span/a
and:
#circle1 a span { margin-left: -px; }
#circle1 a:hover span { margin-left: 0 px; }
to toggle the menu.
But it will depend on real html / css in your page! - Do you have a 
testpage to get a better impression ? And/or some screenshot images of 
what must be the results?

Greetings,
francky

How do you nest a full menu in an inline element like span? Even more
interesting, how do you nest a lot of other links inside a link?
