Positioning HELP

Post by wms »

Hi everyone,

I hope someone will be able to help me out.  I'm a novice when it comes to css layering.  I'm using the latest version of CMSMS and here is the link to the site I'm having problems with:  http://www.linkprotection.ca/index.php

Two questions:

#1)  How do I position my top nav inside the white space of my header image?

#2) I'm just specifying certain items to appear in my top nav [i.e. items="page1,page3,etc..."] and I cannot get the css menu to work to display the drop down menus.

Any help would be very very appreciated.

Thank you so much,

I did it a sloopy way with tables as a header content block.  But I would still be interested on how to put my top nav in my header image with css.

Thanks,

If you have created a "box" () to hold your header image, you should be able to create an identical "box" () the same size.  Give the image box a z-index of "0" (as in zero) and the second box a z-index of "1" so basically you have two "boxes" sitting on top of each other.  Inside the top box, float your menu right.

To learn more about CSS layering here is a link to a tutorial:

Ok..thanks for the reply.

Can anyone help me out on why I cannot get drop-down menus.

I'm using the simple vertical css for the left nav and the horizontal cssmenu css for the top nav.  I renamed menu_vert to menu_horiz in the horizontal cssmenu css.

I would like the simple on the left and cssmenus on the top.

Any ideas?

Thanks as always for your help,
