CSS Menu causing font format and layout issues! HELP

[jpf566]

HOPEFULLY SOMEONE can help! I?ve got in way over my head while trying to implement a new CSS menu for my website? I used the menu that can be found here.

 

http://www.lwis.net/free-css-drop-down-menu/

 

(Adobe.com Theme)

 

So..I edited all the CSS, Menu Code and added images instead of text for the menu.. I got the menu working great! The only problem is when I tried to incorporate it into my site I encountered problems?(I think it has to do with my sites style sheet and the style sheet for the menu)

 

Whenever I place the menu on a page its screws up the formatting of all the text on the page! I narrowed the problem down to the CSS file listed below

 

http://sheffieldfurniture.com/cssmenu/dropdown/themes/adobe.com/helper2.css

 

I narrowed the line of code that is causing the problem to this

 

* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

 

When this CSS file is linked to my page looks like this (Notice the menu is aligned to the top properly but text spacing below is messed up and some of it is Italic?.) See Below

NOW?.If I remove the * { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

From the css file (helper2.css) All together than my page looks GREAT!! The only problem is my menu doesn?t align to the top properly! See below

I?m not sure if I need to just fix the CSS file or just remove the * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } and edit some code on my page to allow it to align top?Can anyone please help!? Thanks in advance for anyone patient enough to look into this issue!

To fix this one: http://sheffieldfurniture.com/main/rugtest2.html

 

Remove the padding: 50px from the body and take out the

&

tag from your logo image.

 

This should get it in place.

 

The method * {margin: 0; padding: 0;} zeros out all the tags that has default margins and paddings like

tag,

tag, etc.

Wow Cool! Thanks! I got it working! http://www.sheffieldfurniture.com There are 2 things though...

 

1. Is there any way that I can make this so I dont need to change EACH PAGE (I used dreamweaver find and replace but its still a pain in the butt to upload all 200 some pages to my FTP site.) I dont think I can use an Iframe because its a dropdown menu...or a frame for that matter!

 

2. It dosen't work in IE6. Anyone have an idea why?

 

THANKS EVERYONE!

1. You can use Server Side Includes (SSI). PHP and ASP. Here again you will have to update all your pages to use SSI but thereafter update an entire site is a snap.

 

2. Not sure what the problem is and I never used that particular jquery. You might change the conditional comment to be
