Vertical "popup" menu help

Post by kankoken »

Hello,

I am at the end of my knowledge (which by the way is limited as you can see :) )
I try to create a vertical menu which show its sub menu through hovering over the parent link. Right now the sub menu is only shown if I click on the parent link and so on.

I hope someone can help me. My menu code looks like this for now:

Code: Select all

/******************** MENU *********************/
#menu_vert {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
        height: 350px;
}
#menu_vert ul {
/* remove any bullets */
	list-style: none;
/* margin/padding set in li */
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
        
}
#menu_vert ul ul {
	margin: 0;
/* padding right sets second level li in on right from first li */
	padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
/* replaces bottom of li.menuactive menuparent, looks like li below it, set in 5px more, is sitting on top of it */
}
#menu_vert li {
/* remove any bullets */
	list-style: none;
/* negative bottom margin pulls them together, images look like one border between */
	margin: 0px 0px 1px;
/* bottom padding pushes "a" up enough to show our image */
	padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
/* you can set your own image here */
       background-color:#9BC26D;
}
#menu_vert li.currentpage {
        padding: 0;
       	color: #fff;
        font-size: 11px;
        font-family:verdana;
}

#menu_vert li.menuactive {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0px;
/* replaced by image in ul ul */
	background: none;
}

#menu_vert li.menuactive ul {
	margin: 0;
}

#menu_vert li.activeparent {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0px;
}

/* fix stupid IE6 bug with display:block; */
* html #menu_vert li {
	height: 1%;
}
* html #menu_vert li a {
	height: 1%;
}
* html #menu_vert li hr {
	height: 1%;
}
/** end fix **/
/* first level links */
div#menu_vert a {
/* IE6 has problems with this, fixed above */
	display: block;
/* some air for it */
	padding: 0.5em 0.3em 0.5em 1.2em;

	color: #fff;

}

}

First: Thanks for replying :D

Second: More like this menu: http://multiintech.com/defaultcontent/d ... vleft.html

But the submenu opens up when you hover over the parent link. The Submenu should open downwards not to the right side. It is a little bit hard to explain ^^

Are you saying you want to hover a parent item and have the children push everything down and show themselves?...
