Can anyone suggest me how do I get rid of the space after the ribbon navbar in the following fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/BC3FL/
?
I know why it is created but cant figure out how to avoid it except giving fixed negative margins to elements below the bar..
Also, I tried absolute position for flaps but that wont work with different browser's as height width varies.
And the overflow:hidden with another container wont work too:
http://jsfiddle.net/KBs42/
as the flaps must be above the navigation bar.
And a basic code of the fiddle would be:
<div id="navigation_container">
<!-- the left side of the fork effect -->
<div class="l-triangle-top"></div>
<div class="l-triangle-bottom"></div>
<!-- the right side of the fork effect -->
<div class="r-triangle-top"></div>
<div class="r-triangle-bottom"></div>
<!-- the ribbon body -->
<div class="rectangle">
<!-- the navigation links -->
<ul id="navigation2">
<li><a href="index.html"> Home</a></li>
<li><a href="intro.html"> About</a></li>
<li><a href="client.html"> Clients</a></li>
<li><a href="catg.html"> Products</a></li>
<li><a href="mailto:thakkar@pacmac.co.in"> Contact</a></li>
</ul>
<!-- end the ribbon body -->
</div>
</div>
<!-- end container -->
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<div id="wrap">
<p>HEY</p>
</div>
</div>
And CSS:
#navigation_container {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1080px;
overflow:hidden;
height:80px;
padding: auto;
}
#navigation2 li {
list-style: none;
display: block;
float: left;
margin: 1em 0.8em;
}
#navigation2 li a {
text-shadow: 0 2px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #f0f0f0;
font-size: 1.6em;
margin: 0;
line-height: 28px;
}
#navigation2 li.active a:hover,
#navigation2 li a:hover {
margin-top: 2px;
}
#navigation2 li.active {
font-style: italic;
}
#navigation2 li.active a {
}
.rectangle {
background: #e5592e;
height: 62px;
width:920px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.55);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.55);
box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.55);
-webkit-border-radius: 2px;
-moz-border-radius: 2px;
border-radius: 2px;
z-index: 500; /* the stack order: foreground */
}
.l-triangle-top {
border-color: #D9542B transparent transparent;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 50px;
float: left;
height: 0;
left: 30px;
position: relative;
top: 10px;
width: 0;
}
.l-triangle-bottom {
border-color: transparent transparent #D9542B;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 50px;
float: left;
height: 0;
left: -68px;
position: relative;
top: -35px;
width: 0;
}
.r-triangle-top {
border-color: #D9542B transparent transparent;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 50px;
float: right;
height: 0;
position: relative;
right: 30px;
top: 10px;
width: 0;
}
.r-triangle-bottom {
border-color: transparent transparent #D9542B;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 50px;
float: right;
height: 0;
position: relative;
right: -68px;
top: -35px;
width: 0;
}
</style>
Thanks a lot. Any suggestions/critique are welcome.
