How to Stop Text Floating Around Drop-Down CSS Menu

CannonBallGuy

I am working on version2 of kaziaz.com... http://www.kaziaz.com/v2/
I have a pure css drop down menu...
My problem is that if you run you mouse over the menu bar, bits drop down, and this makes the main text move around all over the place...

I want the actually page content to stay still behind the menus...

How can I do that?

fleccy

Could you show me the problem? i can't see anything wrong.

Otherwise good luck with designing your new site

Dude u should really get aay from pure css layouts. I mean a clean layout is good but urs is like too plain

CannonBallGuy

To fleccy, run your mouse over one of the items in the horizontal menu, all the content text moves about...

Martian, I like Pure CSS, i'm not so strong on graphics, and I dont have the time for all that... Pure CSS can look better than graphics and I find it easier...
Plus, it's not finished....

Ah yes i see, also it doesn't work in ie, so i would fix that.

But i wouldn't know because i'm more of an ie person maybe you could chat to me on msn? fleccy@fleccy.com

you are feeling how i was feeling yesterday but vise-versa my site worked in ie but not in firefox, that really pissed me off, but i got it working in the end.

ok most likley the reason text is moving about is that when you mouseover your menu
the size changes there are several ways to deal with that
first you could put dimensions in your css layout to help stop it from intruding on other text you can also add <div> tags around the text you dont want to move and then position it which usually works well for a drop down also you might try a z-index for your drop down of +1

CannonBallGuy

Its not that, and i have fixed it now anyway.

Thanks.

Show me one site that is pure CSS that is better than one with graphics that I will find...

Theres no such thing, except people too lazy to learn a graphic program. I'm too lazy to learn code, and sites with graphics AND scripts are the best, but I am not saying otherwise, I don't know why you refuse to admit that graphics enhance a site.

CannonBallGuy

Geez. Just leave me alone.
If I wanna do pure css then I can and I bl**dy well will!
Besides, as I keep telling everyone, It, is, NOT, FINISHED!
