hi, i have some links at the top of my page that are supposed to have dropdowns all with different links. the problem is, as i have coded it, (i thought correctly) the menu is messed up and doesnt work right. any help greatly appreciated because i thought this menu would work with just a few tweaks. " meet the staff"(menu1) is supposed to start with "specialists", and forms and instructions. (menu2) is supposed to start with Medical HX./..." thanks. derek
here is the page im talking about.
http://derekvanderven.com/doctors_columbia/home.html
here is the code for the dropdown.
css
Code:
<style type="text/css">
.style2 {
font-size: 13px
}
</style>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<style type="text/css">
#dropmenudiv{
position:absolute;
border:1px solid black;
border-bottom-width: 0;
font:normal 12px Verdana;
line-height:18px;
z-index:100;
}
#dropmenudiv a{
width: 100%;
display: block;
text-indent: 3px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
padding: 1px 0;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #517e86; /*makes background color of dropdown blue*/
}
#dropmenudiv a:hover{ /*hover background color*/
background-color: #000000; /* makes hover color black*/
}
a:link {color: #ffffff;}
a:visited {color: #ffffff;}
a:hover {color: #ffffff;}
a:active {color: #ffffff;}
</style>
