css ul li gap in ie7
- by Gidon
I have a css ul li nested menu that works perfectly in ie 8 and firefox but in ie7 it produces a small gap between the elements.
this is my css:
#nav, #nav ul
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
list-style-position: outside;
position:static;/*the key for ie7*/
line-height: 1.5em;
}
#nav li
{
float: inherit;
position: relative;
width: 12em;
}
#nav ul
{
position: absolute;
width: 12em;
top: 1.5em;
display: none;
left: auto;
}
#nav a:link, #nav a:active, #nav a:visited
{
display: block;
padding: 0px 5px;
border: 1px solid #258be8; /*#333;*/
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #258be8; /*#333;*/
}
#nav a:hover
{
background-color: #fff;
color: #333;
}
#nav ul li a
{
display: block;
top: -1.5em;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
overflow: auto; /*force hasLayout in IE7 */
right: 12em;
padding:0.5em;
}
#nav ul ul
{
position: absolute;
}
#nav ul li ul
{
right: 13em;
margin: 0px 0 0 10px;
top: 0;
position: absolute;
}
#nav li:hover ul ul, #nav li:hover ul ul ul, #nav li:hover ul ul ul ul
{
display: none;
}
#nav li:hover ul, #nav li li:hover ul, #nav li li li:hover ul, #nav li li li li:hover ul
{
display: block;
}
#nav li
{
background: url(~/Scripts/ourDDL/ddlArrow.gif) no-repeat center left;
}
#divHead, #featuresDivHead
{
padding: 5px 10px;
width: 12em;
cursor: pointer;
position: relative;
background-color: #99ccFF;
margin: 1px;
}
/* Holly Hack for IE \*/
* html #nav li { float: left; height: 1%; }
* html #nav li a { height: 1%; }
/* End */
and here is an example for a menu:
<ul id='nav'><li><a href="#">Bookstore Online</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Study Resources</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Service Information</a></li>
<li><a href="#">TV Broadcast</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Donations</a></li></ul>
