  • css help - prevent parent from expanding?

    I have the following css fro a pop out menu:

    #position-7 div.module_menu li ul {

    left: 200px;

    top: 0px;

    display: none;

    }

    #position-7 div.module_menu li:hover ul, #position-7 div.module_menu li.sfhover ul {

    left: 200px;

    top: calc( -1.2em - 10px );

    position: relative;

    display: inline;

    }

    my base list item is css is:

    #position-7 div.module_menu li {

    text-align: left;

    border-top: 1px solid #191919;

    border-bottom: 1px solid #191919;

    }

    the HTML looks something like this:

    <li class="item-118 deeper parent">

    <a href="/spiritualsubstance/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7&Itemid=118" >something</a>

    <ul class="nav-child unstyled small">

    <li class="item-124">

    <a href="/spiritualsubstance/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9&Itemid=124" >Pop One</a>

    </li>

    <li class="item-125">

    <a href="/spiritualsubstance/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10&Itemid=125" >Pop Two</a>

    </li>

    </ul>

    </li>

    The probelm I have is that when I hover over the parent <li> it expands and I don t want it to. the sub <ul> to pop over to the side without expanding the parent <li>

    I tried making the parent <li> absolute but that messes everything up.

    I know this is not a lot of info. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

    I can may it work if I give the parent <li> a fixed height but I don t want to do that since different parent <li> s have different heights that I don t know till runtime.

    The menu seperator image:

    <tr>

    <td class="user3_pill_l"> </td>

    </div>

    </td>

    <td class="user3_pill_r"> </td>

    </tr>

    </table>

    </div>

    I can't seem to determine why the separator is lower by 2px than the other images?

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

  • Amplifier for tv rca audio output to wired headphones?

    I can't believe no one makes this. I am looking for a amplifier to amplify to RCA audio output of a TV so I can plug 1/8 jack wired headphones in to it. It would be nice if this amplifier had a remote so I could adjust the volume. I don't need a surround sound system - just an amplifier with remote.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Unable to change visited text style css?

    I am unable to specify a different text-decoration, font-size, font-weight, font-family for a:visited, all I can change is the color of the text - everything else is inherited from a:link why is this?

    For example I have the following:

    #left div.module_menu li.item2 a:link {

    text-decoration:none;

    font-size: 16px;

    line-height: 1.2em;

    color: #0000ff;

    }

    #left div.module_menu li.item2 a:visited {

    text-decoration:underline;

    color: #ff00ff;

    }

    #left div.module_menu li.item2 a:hover {

    text-decoration:underline;

    font-size: 16px;

    line-height: 1.2em;

    color: #33ff33;

    }

    Visited will not underline. This is just one particular example (and don't complain about the 16px) It seem that the only thing that can be configured for visited is the Color.

  • When Hover over link color does not change HTML/CSS?

    I have css that sets a different color for for hover over a link. It does not appear to be working. Sometime links change color on hover and others do not. It also appears to be dependent on the Browser. It seems to work most of the time in Internet Explorer but it only works about a third of the time in Firefox. I can't seem to see what the problem is. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Here is my CSS

    #content a:link {

    text-decoration:none;

    font-family: Georgia, serif;

    font-style: normal;

    font-weight: normal;

    font-size: 1.0em;

    line-height: 1.2em;

    color: #00ccff;

    }

    #content a:hover {

    text-decoration:underline;

    font-family: Georgia, serif;

    font-weight: normal;

    font-size: 1.0em;

    line-height: 1.2em;

    color: #ffff00;

    }

    #content a:visited {

    text-decoration:none;

    font-family: Georgia, serif;

    font-style: normal;

    font-weight: normal;

    font-size: 1.0em;
