DNNMenu - Vertical Align Root Menu Items Modified By Will Strohl on 7/12/2008 5:41:56 PM

Does anyone out there have any experience getting the DNNMenu (horizontal) to vertical align middle - in both IE and FF? I can get it to work fine in IE, but so far, all attempts at getting the alignment to change in FF have proved to only drastically move the menu either the to complete top or bottom of the menu container. The menu object sits in a wrapper div, which in turn sites in a table cell. The wrapper div and the table cell have the same width and height. (Height = 41px)

Here is what I have tried for this menu:

/* This works in IE, but not FireFox */
.main_dnnmenu_rootitem span{
    vertical-align:middle;
    padding:0px 0px 0px 5px;
}
.main_dnnmenu_container{
    width:100%;
    background-color:transparent;
}
.main_dnnmenu_bar{
    width:100%;
    cursor:pointer;
    cursor:hand;
    height:16px;
    background-color:transparent;
    }
.main_dnnmenu_item td{
    /*TD if menu option for using tables is on*/
    cursor:pointer;
    cursor:hand;
    color:#ffffff;
    font-style:normal;
    background-color:transparent;
    font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
    font-size:9pt;
    font-weight:bold;
    white-space:nowrap; /*Word wrapping menu item now optional*/
    padding:1px 3px 3px 1px;
}
.main_dnnmenu_rootitem{
    /*TD if menu option for using tables is on*/
    cursor:pointer;
    cursor:hand;
    color:#ffffff;
    font-style:normal;
    background-color:transparent;
    font-family:Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
    font-size:9pt;
    font-weight:bold;
    white-space:nowrap;/*Word wrapping menu item now optional*/
    padding:0px 12px 0px 5px;/*explicitly set padding for root menu items*/
}
.main_dnnmenu_itemhover{
    color:#40430E;
}
.main_dnnmenu_itemhover td{
    color:#40430E;
}
.main_dnnmenu_icon{
    cursor:pointer;
    cursor:hand;
    text-align:center;
    width:15px;
    height:100%;
}
.main_dnnmenu_submenu{
    color:#ffffff;
    background-color:#878026;
    z-index:1000;
    cursor:pointer;
    cursor:hand;
    filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color='#696969', Direction=135, Strength=3);
    padding:1px 1px 1px 1px;/*explicitly set padding for sub-menus */
}
.main_dnnmenu_break{
    height:1px;
    font-size:1px;
}

Re: DNNMenu - Vertical Align Root Menu Items

Will,

The nature of the span tag is to display inline. Therefore, by setting padding or margin won't do any good. You need to reset the browser by setting the span tags using in dnnMENU to display block. Then you can start manipulating the padding and margin.

I.e.

.main_dnnmenu_rootitem span {display: block; padding: 5px 10px;}

Hope this helps!
