yep, that's what I meant when I first said that you couldn't edit the menu in the menu builder if you edited it outside of the menu builder, meaning that if you open the .mnu file it won't have any of your changes in it that you did outside the menu builder.

The HTML editor has an update June 8, 2010 to resolve this.

Download the latest version of the HTML Editor and install the update. Then go to Help->View Help File.

I have created a horizontal menu with CSS Menu Designer and was able to center it using the above fixes - .center {margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:500px;} However now my second header is inline with the menu and I cannot get it to align correctly (below the menu and centered).

The layout is:

Header
Horizontal Menu
Header 2
Content...

I would appreciate it if someone would please take a look at this and see if you can find the problem?

HTML:

<div id="header">
<h1>Frank and Kolb, Russia</h1>
<p class="description">Two German colonies on the Volga River</p>

<div id="header2">
<h2>home</h2>
</div>

CSS

/*** ESSENTIAL STYLES ***/
.center {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width:500px;
}

.practice-menu, .practice-menu * {
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;
}

maybe try:



then wrap the menu in <div id=site-nav></div> instead of the .center class.

Just a thought
It looks like header div is not included in center div as you close center before header2 div



Cayucostom

Cayucostom,

My css for the header2 worked prior to using the CSS Menu Designer menu but I will try including with the .center class. If that doesn't work I will try David's method.

#header2
{
color:#004b6f; font-size:0.812em; text-align:center;
} /* 13px/16=0.812em */

I'm sure glad all you guys are out there giving advice. Thanks so much.

Kelly

I'm also grappling with this. I wonder if making changes to one of the css files (superfish-navbar.css) isn't the key.

I don't know that much about css yet, but I noticed the following code:


/*** adding the class sf-navbar in addition to sf-menu creates an all-horizontal nav-bar menu ***/
.sf-navbar {
background: #BDD2FF;
height: 2.5em;
padding-bottom: 2.5em;
position: relative;
}
.sf-navbar li {
background: #AABDE6;
position: static;
}
.sf-navbar a {
border-top: none;
}
.sf-navbar li ul {
width: 44em; /*IE6 soils itself without this*/
}
.sf-navbar li li {
background: #BDD2FF;
position: relative;
}

I have experimented with changing some of these position attributes, to no avail.

Ideally what I'd like is for the whole thing to inherit the centered property from its container. But so far, it's Greek to me.

..Christine..

do you have the menu online so we can take a look at the code?

one thing you could try is in the main css file for your menu typically called your menu name-menu.css around line 76 you see /*** DEMO SKIN ***/ a couple of lines bellow that there is a line


try changing it to and see if it helps.

adding /* */ around css code makes the browsers ignore that info.

Ok I have read and read and read - and tried and tried and tried what has been offered - yet I can not get it to work I need some help - PLEASE!.

Here is what I have I know I have two sets but I need to make sure the new one works before deleting the old.

what is in the talbe is the new stuff which has the drop down menu /options
Below is the entire code to my page - Hope I'm posting this correctly.
