Navigation Margins

  • Hi Everyone,

    I am having difficulty with the margins underneath my navigation bar. When I try and change the margin so the header is below the nav bar, the drop down menus don’t work for some reason. Here is the code I am using:

    #nav {
	width: 100%;
	float: left;
	margin: 0 0 6em 0;
	background-color: #ffffff;
	text-transform: lowercase;
	opacity:0.7;
	clear: both;
	overflow: hidden;

}

#nav .wrap {
	color: #777;
	font-family: 'Verdana', arial, sans-serif;
	letter-spacing: 2px;
	margin: 0 auto;
	width: 600px;

}

#nav ul {
	float: left;
	width: 100%;
}

#nav li {
	float: left;
	list-style-type: none;

}

#nav li a {
	color: #336699;
	display: block;
	font-size: 13px;
	padding: 12px 15px 14px;
	text-decoration: none;
		position: relative;
}

#nav li a:hover,
#nav li a:active,
#nav .current_page_item a,
#nav .current-cat a,
#nav .current-menu-item a {
	color: #ccc;
}

#nav li li a,
#nav li li a:link,
#nav li li a:visited {
	background-color: #fff;
	border: none;
	border-top-width: 0;
	color: #336699;
	font-size: 11px;
	letter-spacing: 1px;
	padding: 5px 10px;
	position: relative;
	text-transform: none;
	width: 138px;
}

#nav li li a:hover,
#nav li li a:active {
	background-color: #ccc;
}

#nav li ul {
	height: auto;
	left: -9999px;
	position: absolute;
	width: 160px;
	z-index: 9999;
}

#nav li ul a {
	width: 140px;
}

#nav li ul ul {
	margin: -33px 0 0 159px;
}

#nav li:hover>ul,
#nav li.sfHover ul {
	left: auto;
}

    Does anyone have any insight on this? My page is located here

    Thank you!

	background-color: #ffffff;
	text-transform: lowercase;

    Hi wprock,

    Thank you for the response, I made the the change, but it hasn’t changed the margin at all. Do you think it may be something with the header margin?

    /* Header
------------------------------------------------------------ */

#header {
	margin: 0 auto;
	min-height: 150px;
	overflow: hidden;
	width: 960px;
}

#title-area {
	float: left;
	overflow: hidden;
	padding: 30px 0 25px;
	width: 480px;
}

#title {
	font-family: 'Pacifico', arial, serif;
	font-size: 48px;
	line-height: 60px;
	margin: 0 0 5px;
	text-shadow: #fff 1px 1px;
	text-align:center;
}

.header-full-width #title {
	text-align: center;
}

#title a,
#title a:hover {
	color: #8f8d85;
	text-decoration: none;
}

#description {
	color: #938868;
	font-size: 14px;
	font-style: italic;
	text-shadow: #fff 1px 1px;
}

.header-full-width #description {
	text-align: center;
}

#header .widget-area {
	float: right;
	width: 470px;
}

    Do you see anything unusual there?

    Your header image (logo) have extra white spaces at top. Please remove those extra space from logo using photoshop and re-upload again via Dashboard. This will reduce much spaces below the navigation.

    another way you can do this by CSS

    go to line no 218 and replace height:80px to height: 0

    go to line no 348 and add this elements in the #nav css

    #nav{
  position: static;
  z-index: 99;
}

    reduce the navigation margin now

    Thank you for your help! I inserted the code and got rid of the white space on my header. There’s still a small gap, but it is better than it was before. I think this thing has a mind of its own! Thank you again!

    try to reduce the nav margin

    #nav {margin: 0 0 2.3em 0;}
