submenu's go up and not down

[lional]

Hi

I am trying to make my pop-up menu go up and not down with CSS.

I have images using css for my rollovers. I will attach my code

 

HTML File snippet

<div id="navcontainer"> 
        <ul id="navlist"> 
            <li id="active"> 
                <a href="#" id="current">Item one</a> 
                <ul id="subnavlist"> 
                    <li><a href="#">link 1</a></li> 
                    <li><a href="#">link 2</a></li> 
                    <li><a href="#">link 3</a></li> 
                    <li><a href="#">link 4</a></li> 
                </ul> 
            </li> 
            <li><a href="#">Item two</a></li> 
            <li><a href="#">Item three</a></li> 
        </ul> 
    </div> 
    <div id="content"> 
        <img alt="" src="images/image.png" 
            style="width: 862px; height: 324px" /> 
    </div> 

CSS

ul#subnavlist { display: none; } 
ul#subnavlist li { float: none; } 

ul#subnavlist li a 
{ 
padding: 0px; 
margin: 0px; 
} 
#navcontainer 
{ 
    height:30px; 
    background-color: #C7C8CA; 
    padding-left:10%; 
} 

ul#navlist 
{ 
    font-family: Arial; 
} 

ul#navlist a 
{ 
    text-decoration: none; 
} 

ul#navlist 
{ 
    margin: 0px; 
    padding: 5px 0px 0px 0px; 
    list-style-type: none; 
} 
  
ul#navlist ul 
{ 
    margin: 0px; 
    padding: 0px; 
    list-style-type: none; 
} 
  
ul#navlist li 
{ 
    margin: 0px; 
    padding: 0px; 
    list-style-type: none; 
    float: left; 
} 

ul#navlist li a 
{ 
color: #ffffff; 
background-color: #003366; 
padding: 3px; 
border: 1px #ffffff outset; 
} 

ul#navlist li a:hover 
{ 
color: #ffff00; 
background-color: #003366; 

}
ul#navlist li a:active 
{ 
color: #cccccc; 
background-color: #003366; 
border: 1px #ffffff inset; 
} 

ul#subnavlist { display: none;margin-bottom:50px } 
ul#subnavlist li { float: none; } 

ul#subnavlist li a 
{ 
padding: 0px; 

} 

ul#navlist li:hover ul#subnavlist 
{ 
display: block; 
position: absolute; 
font-size: 8pt; 
padding-top: 5px;

} 

ul#navlist li:hover ul#subnavlist li a 
{ 
display: block; 
width: 10em; 
border: none; 
padding: 2px;

} 

 

Is this possible

 

Thanks

hmmm... always seen that done with js.  have you tried

 

position:absolute;

? 

 

wont be very flexible but if its for a specific application, maybe would work?

How would I do it with js, is there a link that I could see an example

If you do this, make sure you check what happens when the user is near the edge of the page. I've seen implementations like this before, and they become unusable in certain positions.

 

In situations like this, it's usually best not to screw with the default browser behavior.
