Hi Guys,

I have a problem with my Menus. I think it has to do with the css but not sure. After a added a few menus the background goes black at the bottom. Can anyone tell me what could be the problem?

I got a temp[late for this website and the original was working fine.

problem : www.spe.com.fj.

Its the products menu. right at the bottom it goes black.


Thanks

I just started to look and found this so far:



.main {
width:940px;
padding:0;
margin:0 auto;
font-size:0.8125em;
line-height:1,2307em;
text-align: center;
}


I have to question the line-height of 1,2307em;

That could the issue but I am still looking

Hi Bud,

Thanks for your help. What should i change it to? I also have another issue. When i click on other menus the they should change to an orange color indicating were the user is but only the home button is always orange.

On the home page the home button in the navigation has a class called .active
You can see it in this part of the html:


<nav>
<ul class="sf-menu">
<li class="active"><a href="index.html">home</a></li>
<li>
<a href="products.htm">Products</a>
<ul>

Sectional Door Motors</a></li>
</ul>

On the products page you need to put the class .active inside the <li> tag that surrounds the link to "products.htm". Like this


<nav>
<ul class="sf-menu">
<li><a href="index.html">home</a></li>
<li class="active">
<a href="products.htm">Products</a>
<ul>

That will make the products tab orange. Similar changes can be made with the other tabs.

Regarding the black color at the bottom: it seems to be the background color, set in this part of the superfish.css, that is a bit to dark compared to the lower part of the gradient image ( submenu.png):


.sf-menu ul {
position: absolute;
top: -999em;
width: 130px; /* left offset of submenus need to match (see below) */
background:url(../images/submenu.png) 0 0 repeat-x #0e0d0d;
padding:19px 1px 22px;
border-radius:20px;
-moz-border-radius:20px;
-webkit-border-radius:20px;
box-shadow:1px 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
-moz-box-shadow:1px 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
-webkit-box-shadow:1px 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
}

Unfortunately it also does not look right when I make it a lighter color so maybe the problem is the gradient ( submenu.png) and you may want to make a new smother gradient. Unless someone else has a better suggestion !

Hi Azoomer,

Thank you very very much. I managaed to solve it. The Menu with the black bottom was solved by creating a new gradient fill image. works perfectly now.

Thank you once again
