Hi folks.
I have a nav bar with children unordered lists nested under the main navbar items. My problem is on the inner
list, when I position absolute, the inner
list is centered to the page, and when I position relative, it is positioning inline with the parent
list.
I'm trying to get the first child item to line up directly under it's parent.
/* OUTER
LIST STYLING */
div#navbar2 {
position:relative;
width: 100%;
border-top: solid #000 1px;
border-bottom: solid #546F8B 1px;
background-color: #546F8B;
}
div#navbar2 ul#navbar {
padding: 0;
margin: 10px 0;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
letter-spacing:1px;
color: #FFF;
white-space: nowrap;
}
div#navbar2 ul#navbar li {
margin: 0 2px;
list-style-type: none;
display: inline;
}
div#navbar2 li a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
padding: 10px 10px;
}
div#navbar2 li a:link {
color: #FFF:
}
div#navbar2 li a:visited {
color: #ffffff;
}
div#navbar2 li a:hover {
color: #000;
background-color: #FDFFC9;
}
/* INNER
LIST STYLING */
div#navbar2 ul#navbar li ul.innerlist{
display: none;
color:#000;
}
div#navbar2 ul#navbar li ul.innerlist li{
color:#000;
}
div#navbar2 ul#navbar li:hover ul.innerlist {
position: absolute;
display: inline;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
margin: 40px 0 0px 0px;
padding: 0px;
color:#000;
}
div#navbar2 li.innerlist a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #000;
padding: 10px 10px;
}
div#navbar2 li.innerlist a:link {
color: #000:
}
div#navbar2 li.innerlist a:visited {
color: #000;
}
div#navbar2 li.innerlist a:hover {
color: #000;
background-color: #FDFFC9;
}
And my html:
<div id="navbar2">
<ul id="navbar">
<li id="index"><a href="index.php">About Rattletree</a></li>
<li id="upcomingshows"><a href="upcomingshows.php">Calendar</a></li>
<li id="booking"><a href="booking.php">Contact</a>
<ul class="innerlist">
<li class="innerlist"><a href="#">Booking</a></li>
<li class="innerlist"><a href="#">press</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li id="instruments"><a href="instruments.php">The Band</a>
<ul class="innerlist">
<li class="innerlist"><a href="#">The Instruments</a></li>
<li class="innerlist"><a href="#">The Players</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li id="classes"><a href="classes.php">Sights & Sounds</a>
<ul class="innerlist">
<li class="innerlist"><a href="#">Listen</a></li>
<li class="innerlist"><a href="#">photos</a></li>
<li class="innerlist"><a href="#">video</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li id"classes"><a href="classes.php">Workshops & Classes</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Thanks for any help!
