Hi All,
I am trying to figure out drop down menus using only css and am a little puzzled. I understand how to create a vertical menu where when you hold your mouse over the link a sub menu appears to the right of the list, but it dissapears once you move the mouse away.
What i want is the menu to appear underneath the link that was clicked, but i only want the menu to appear when the link is clicked and to stay there until another main link is clicked.
Can anyone help me. The code i have got from a tutorial page is:
Code:
<body>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">History</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Team</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Offices</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Services</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Web Design</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Internet
Marketing</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Hosting</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Domain Names</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Broadband</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Contact Us</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">United Kingdom</a></li>
<li><a href="#">France</a></li>
<li><a href="#">USA</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Australia</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</body>
and the css is:
Code:
body {
font: normal 11px verdana;
}
ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
width: 150px; /* Width of Menu Items */
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
}
ul li {
position: relative;
}
li ul {
position: absolute;
left: 149px; /* Set 1px less than menu width */
top: 0;
display: none;
}
/* Styles for Menu Items */
ul li a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #777;
background: #fff; /* IE6 Bug */
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-bottom: 0;
}
ul li a:hover {
color: #E2144A; background: #f9f9f9;
}
/* Hover Styles */
li ul li a {
padding: 2px 5px;
}
/* Sub Menu Styles */
li:hover ul, li.over ul {
display: block;
}
what should i change to get this? I know i need to do something with visible and visited, but i can't figure this out.
Any help would be appreciated. |
