Dropdown Menu On HTML To Wordpress

HTML & CSS
1

Hello CSS Master here,

I’m trying to migrate from HTML site to Wordpress platform, and have a simple dropdown menu to the navigation of old site to [URL=“http://wordpresssetup.com/eft3/”]new wordpress, and I’m having some css issues.

I add some css code for the second level menu but i’m stuck.
I need changed CSS for ul.dropdown ul li and add » for each second menu.
How do you reproduce that in CSS & HTML?

/* 
	LEVEL ONE
*/

ul.dropdown * {
	margin:0;
	padding:0;
	list-style:none
}
ul.dropdown {
	position: relative;
	left: 20px;
}
ul.dropdown li {
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	float: left;
	font: bold 14px Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
	zoom: 1;
}
ul.dropdown a:hover {
	color: #FAEEE4;
}
ul.dropdown a:active {
	color: #FAEEE4;
}
ul.dropdown li a {
	color: #FAEEE4;
	text-decoration: none;
	display: block;
	padding: 5px 7px;
}
ul.dropdown li.hover, ul.dropdown li:hover {
	background: #997FA3;
	color: black;
	position: relative;
}
/* 
	LEVEL TWO
*/

ul.dropdown ul {
	width: 170px;
	visibility: hidden;
	position: absolute;
	top: 100%;
	left: 0;
}
ul.dropdown ul li {
	font: 13px Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
	color: #FAEEE4;
	background: #997FA3;
	float: none;
}
ul.dropdown ul li:hover {
	background: #774F87;
}
ul.dropdown ul li a {
	color: #FAEEE4;
	text-decoration: none;
	display: block;
}
ul.dropdown ul li a:hover {
	font-weight: bold;
}
/* IE 6 & 7 Needs Inline Block */
ul.dropdown ul li a {
	border-right: none;
	width: 100%;
	display: inline-block;
}
/* 
	LEVEL THREE 
*/
ul.dropdown ul ul {
	left: 100%;
	top: 0;
}
ul.dropdown li:hover > ul {
	visibility: visible;
}

<ul class="sub_menu">
<li><?php wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=" ); ?>
</li>
</ul>

Hi,

I didn’t quite understand the question I’m afraid. :slight_smile:

What changes do you want exactly?

Do you want to add the » via the css content property? If so then do something like this:



#nav li li a:before{
content: "\\00BB\\00a0"
}

It will only work in IE8+ though.

Hi Paul see you again… you’re my favorite’s CSS Master here :slight_smile:
Sorry for my language :slight_smile: I’m not native english.

Ooh I make mistake, i declare div #nav twice.
Now your code works like charms.
Thanks Paul…

OOT but still similar issue with wordpress & css.
take a look thelocalscoopnews.com, on upper left header move your mouse on “Stay Connected” menu and then move the mouse on submenu and just hold for a minute. After some seconds, the submenu will dissapear.
How to fix that?

HI,

Add a high z-index to #masthead.


#masthead {
  background: url("default/subscribe.gif") no-repeat scroll 4px center #F5F5F5;
  clear: both;
  font-size: 0.9em;
  padding: 2px 5px 2px 20px;
[B]  position: relative;
 z-index:999;[/B]
}

That should allow it to stay on top while hovering.
