CSS Problems

Re-post:

Hi all, thanks in advance

My CSS is poor 🙁
I have jacked the “Oriental” theme, and written some working PHP code to display child-pages of the current level-1 page in the ‘search bar’,
Example URL is: http://rocket.myzen.co.uk/candidate/
– The php I will post for others in a seperate post.

2 problems:
1. The white-swirl background image of the ‘searchbar/sub-page menu’ works fine in FireFox, but often dissappears in I.E. when you move the window. Any thoughts?

2. I would like the child-page links to be in the same ‘black bold non-underlined’ font as the current parent page item (‘Candidate’ in the exmaple), and then to ‘black underline’ when hovered over.
– I have tried stealing chunks of code from elsewhere in the CSS, but to no avail.
– I am fairly sure the correct place for the needed code is ‘somewhere’ in the ‘searchbar’ css code, but not sure which bit.

Here is the output HTML code in question:

<div id=”page”>
<div id=”navcontainer”>
<ul id=”navlist”><font face=”Century Gothic” size=”2″>
<li id=”first”>
# Home

<li class=”page_item page-item-7 current_page_item”>Candidate
<li class=”page_item page-item-11″>Client
<li class=”page_item page-item-14″>Contact Us

<li class=”page_item page-item-17″>Latest Vacancies
<li class=”page_item page-item-19″>Useful Links
</font>
</div>
<!– <div id=”subnavcontainer”> –>

<div id=”searchBar”>
<center>
<table align=”center” border=”0″ cellpadding=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ height=”30″ width=”0″>
<tbody><tr>
<td>

<!– <ul id=”navlist”> <font face=’Century Gothic’ size=’4′> </font> –>
Client<font face=”Century Gothic” size=”2″>Cand sub page 1</font><!– </font> <font face=’Century Gothic’ size=’5′> </font> –>

</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</center>
</div>

Here is the CSS Stylesheet for the Theme:

/*
<div id=”searchBar”>
<div id=”navcontainer”>
#navcontainer ul {
background: #CC0000;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
float: left;
width: 100%;
font-size: 1.0em;

Theme Name: oriental
Theme URI: http://pure-essence.net/2008/09/19/wordpress-theme-oriental/
Description: Created by pure-essence.net. Oriental, plum, bamboo, pine, flower, foliage, orange, red theme. Now compatible with wordpress 2.7.

version 1.1.1 – Recoded to use relative positioning instead of float.

version 1.1.2 – Fixed IE 6 issue brought up http://wordpress.org/support/topic/208400

version 1.2.0 – Making the theme compatible with wp 2.7. And sorry I no longer wish to support IE 6. If this theme doesn’t look good in IE 6, use a different one. And seriously everyone need to move off the evil IE 6.

version 1.2.1 – Made the theme a bit more backward compatible.
Version: 1.2.1
