Sleek Pointer Menu 2

Author: Dynamic Drive

This is an alternate version of the original Sleek Pointer Menu, one with a more trimmed down interface and with an arrow background that appears only when the mouse moves over a menu item. Inspired by the menu on Lealea.

Demo:

The three images used (last image resized for easier download):

The CSS:

<style type="text/css">

#pointermenu2{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

#pointermenu2 ul{
margin: 0;
margin-left: 15px; /*menu offset from left edge of window*/
float: left;
padding-left: 8px;
font: bold 13px Verdana;
background: #c00000 url(media/leftround2.gif) bottom left no-repeat; /*optional left round corner*/
}

* html #pointermenu2 ul{ /*IE6 only rule. Decrease ul left margin and add 1em bottom margin*/
margin-bottom: 1em;
margin-left: 7px; /*menu offset from left edge of window in IE*/
}

#pointermenu2 ul li{
display: inline;
}


#pointermenu2 ul li a{
float: left;
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 7px 9px 7px 5px;
text-decoration: none;
}

#pointermenu2 ul li a:visited{
color: white;
}


#pointermenu2 ul li a:hover, #pointermenu2 ul li a#selected{ /*hover and selected link*/
color: lightyellow;
background: transparent url(media/pointer.gif) bottom center no-repeat;
}

#pointermenu2 ul li a#rightcorner{
padding-right: 0;
padding-left: 2px;
background: url(media/rightround2.gif) bottom right no-repeat; /*optional right round corner*/
}

</style>

The HTML:

<div id="pointermenu2">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/new.htm">DHTML</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/" id="selected">CSS</a></li>

<li><a href="#" id="rightcorner">&nbsp;</a></li>
</ul>
<br style="clear: left" />

Hi, this is not compatiable with IE 7

Hi,

Really like your Menu...
In your HTML code, you forgot to close the "div".

i might be a noob, but how do i center the menu on my page.. I've tried align="center" but I cant seem to find the way.. plz help =)

I am having an error in IE 6 where the background repeats after the last menu (the rightcorner). I have tried everything I can think of to prevent this from happening.
