absolute positioning help

[shamai]

ok I’m going outta my mind with this:

if you move the window you will see the green bar to the side of the main menu move with it but if you go too small it sticks out from underneath because its attached to the edge of the viewport using position absolute but I can’t control where it stops stretching to.

Looks to me like you’ll have to completely rethink how you’re doing this. There has got to be a more efficient way of achieving what you want.

Also, the contrast between the logo and background isn’t going to work. I would try to find a better color that suits.

body { position: relative; }

its my first ever try at wordpress and i thought I need my main menu to be dynamic with its width just in case I decide to add more links or pages to it but I see that its not simple especially if I’m going to have a second menu next to it.
I guess I need to start over.

DId you do the denim header? That’s pretty slick. :)

[shamai]

(well i found denim texture and it was a huge piece of denim so I made a pattern out of it 200px by 200px i hope thats not too big?)

here is what I wanted it to look like:

i can still make it I just can’t have a dynamic width on the fabric menu

[shamai]

can I have query figure out the width based on how many li’s the nav has and then append the width of the ul? that would work

[cpyle0819]

I would almost consider making the tabs separate divs with the tab as a background image. That way you can manipulate your links without trying to line things up.

[shamai]

the tabs are background image but they are in li’s.
why divs?

i can change the width of my nav menu with size()

I see now, I spoke too soon. My mistake. :)

[shamai]

with the query it works! somewhat. Im closer to getting what I want
and i have a fallback if there is no js so I’m good…for now
thanks for your help
