Oh hai, Mark.

I've been fidgeting with this navbar for a day or so now.

It's basically something written for wordpress that I've re purposed to get to work with VB.

However, there are a few fundamental problems with it:

1. The leftmost submenu is not aligning properly, even with a margin of -40px
2. One sub-submenu isn't working, and that's the 1st, Forums, the second does work, however, the IRC
-I've had other sub-submenus in, that also don't show up, they also went missing along with their parents
3. Internet F#$%ing Explorer

An actual working example of the code can be found at: http://918thefan.com/

My attempted reproduction can be found at: http://918thefan.com/forums/

Here's the code (full header):

I've basically not worked with code for 6 months, and I'm so rusty my fingers are falling apart, so I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer, and would gladly return it with kittens and fluff

I'm not really an HTML or CSS person, but did you maybe try taking it out of the table? I'm not sure if it will matter, but it's not in a table on the page that works. It looks like you could just put the </table> before the <div id="navigation"> and take out the extra <tr> and <td> tags.

Well that fixed fudging internet explorer's issue.

The main issue of things simply not showing up still persists, though. However, many thanks.

kh99 · #4 02-25-2011, 08:48 PM

OK, I might have figured out your disappearing 'Forums' issue - there seems to be an extra <ul class=children> inside the Community menu. 'Forums' is inside one, and 'IRC' is insde another one, but I think they should be inside the same <ul> tag.

ImNotKibs · #5 02-25-2011, 10:04 PM

I fixed it.

^ You were right on the spot, I didn't even think about that, as for getting everything aligned correctly, it was just a matter of letting the main menu be and let it be 40 pixels to the right, then adding a second div and putting the margin-left for that to -40px.

Everything is fine, and went better than expected.
