Trying to add a CSS menu to the footer

    Hi everyone

    I am trying to implement Stu Nichol’s cool Skeleton Up menu in the footer of my site, https://philipus.com. I would like to have fly-up menus on the Galleries and Wallpaper links.

    But I’m unable to format the menu like I want it. All the items end up stacked vertically.

    I’m not sure where I should put “skeleton.css” and “stuHover.js”? Now I have them in a subfolder (Skeleton_up) to the theme’s folder.

    How do I ensure that the menu items line up horizontally (ie why do they stack vertically)?

    Also – what do I need to do to make the content of the Galleries and Wallpaper fly-up menus horizontal (as opposed to stacked vertically)?

    Thank you for your help
    /p

    Further to the above, I thought display: inline; would result in displaying the list horizontally but the stylesheet that accompanies the menu doesn’t have that anywhere. I have tried inserting display: inline; in the #nav in the theme’s (F8) stylesheet but that doesn’t work either.

    I suspect there is a conflict between the ordinary style.css of the theme I use and the stylesheet of the menu. I’m just not clever enough to see what. I tried putting the relevant bits of the theme stylesheet in /*…*/ but that doesn’t work either.

    Help?
    Thank you

    This is the menu’s stylesheet. 

    #nav,
#nav ul {padding:0 0 5px 0; margin:0; list-style:none; font: 10px verdana, sans-serif; border:1px solid #000; border-color:#ace #79b #68a #bde; border-width:1px 2px 2px 1px; background:#fff; position:relative; z-index:200;}
#nav {height:25px; padding:0;}

#nav li {float:left;}
#nav li li {float:none; background:#fff;}
/* a hack for IE5.x and IE6 */
* html #nav li li {float:left;}

#nav li a {display:block; float:left; color:#888; margin:0 25px 0 10px; height:25px; line-height:25px; text-decoration:none; white-space:nowrap;}
#nav li li a {height:20px; line-height:20px; float:none;}

#nav li:hover {position:relative; z-index:300;}
#nav li:hover ul {left:0; bottom:21px; top:auto;}
/* another hack for IE5.5 and IE6 */
* html #nav li:hover ul {left:10px;}

#nav ul {position:absolute; left:-9999px; top:-9999px;}
/* yet another hack for IE5.x and IE6 */
* html #nav ul {width:1px;}

/* it could have been this simple if all browsers understood */
/* show next level */
#nav li:hover li:hover > ul {left:-15px; margin-left:100%; bottom:-7px; top:auto;}
/* keep further levels hidden */
#nav li:hover > ul ul {position:absolute; left:-9999px; top:-9999px; width:auto;}
/* show path followed */
#nav li:hover > a {text-decoration:underline; color:#57b;}

/* but IE5.x and IE6 need this lot to style the flyouts and path followed */
/* show next level */
#nav li:hover li:hover ul,
#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover ul,
#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover ul,
#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover ul
{left:-15px; margin-left:100%; bottom:-7px; top:auto;}

/* keep further levels hidden */
#nav li:hover ul ul,
#nav li:hover li:hover ul ul,
#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover ul ul,
#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover ul ul
{position:absolute; left:-9999px; top:-9999px;}

/* show path followed */
#nav li:hover a,
#nav li:hover li:hover a,
#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover a,
#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover a,
#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover a,
#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover a
{text-decoration:underline; color:#57b;}

/* hide futher possible paths */
#nav li:hover li a,
#nav li:hover li:hover li a,
#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li a,
#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li a,
#nav li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li:hover li a
{text-decoration:none; color:#888;}

    And this is the relevant parts (afaik) of the theme stylesheet:

    #navcontainer {padding: 0;font-family:"helvetica", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;text-align: right;background-color: #000;height:0px;margin:0 0 1em;}
#navlist {height:40px;}
#navcontainer p	{padding: 7px 7px 0px;font-family:"helvetica", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 1em;font-weight: bold;}

/* to stretch the container div to contain floated list */

#navcontainer:after {content: ".";display: block;line-height: 1px;font-size: 1px;clear: both;}
#navcontainer img {margin: 0;padding: 0;}
ul#navlist {list-style: none;padding: 0;margin: 0px;background-color: #000;font-size: 1em;}
ul#navlist li {text-align: left;float: left;height: 40px;margin: 0;background: #000;border-right:1px solid #ccc;padding: 0;}
ul#navlist li { width: 105px; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family:inherit; width: 119px;}
html>body ul#navlist li { width: 125px; }
ul#navlist li a {display: block;padding: 7px 5px 25px 7px;color: #cccccc;font-size: 11px;text-decoration: none;height: 1%;height:40px;}
#navcontainer>ul#navlist li a {width: auto;height: auto;height: 8px}
ul#navlist li#active a {background: #eee;color: #<?php echo $ss_nav_hover_color; ?>;}
ul#navlist li a:hover,ul#navlist li#active a:hover {color: #f8f8f8;background-color: #212121;}
ul#navlist li.home	{border-left: none;}
ul#navlist li#empty	{width: 120px;}
