Blue Blocks Menu

Author: Mark Newhouse- Taming Lists

This is an attractive "blocks" CSS menu with an accompanying hover effect. We added some changes of our own to the CSS to create a consistent menu width across browsers.

Demo:

The CSS:

<style type="text/css">

#blueblock{
width: 180px;
border-right: 1px solid #000;
padding: 0 0 1em 0;
margin-bottom: 1em;
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 90%;
background-color: #90bade;
color: #333;
}

* html #blueblock{ /*IE 6 only */
w\idth: 147px; /*Box model bug: 180px minus all left and right paddings for #blueblock */
}

#blueblock ul{
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: none;
}

#blueblock li {
border-bottom: 1px solid #90bade;
margin: 0;
}

#blueblock li a{
display: block;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 8px;
border-left: 10px solid #1958b7;
border-right: 10px solid #508fc4;
background-color: #2175bc;
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
width: 100%;
}

html>body #blueblock li a{ /*Non IE6 width*/
width: auto;
}

#blueblock li a:hover{
border-left: 10px solid #1c64d1;
border-right: 10px solid #5ba3e0;
background-color: #2586d7;
color: #fff;
}

</style>
