Ruthsarian Menus - A CSS-based dropdown menu system

/*******************************************************************************
*  rMenu.css : 2006.10.17 : [email protected]
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Ruthsarian Menus - A CSS-based dropdown menu system
*
* 
*
* KNOWN BUGS
*       - Opera 7.23 and earlier have problems with absolutely positioned 
*         elements positioned relative to a parent element. this causes a
*         problem with right-aligned horizontal menus. stay away from those
*         types of menus if you've got any reason to care about Opera 7.23 or
*         earlier versions.
*
* DEV NOTES
*       - setting position: relative; to ul.rMenu triggers a bug in Netscape 7
*         and earlier that makes content jump as menus pop
*       - need to remember that when assigning multiple classes to an element
*         to list them left-to-right from most-specific to least-specific.
*         Otherwise IE/Mac flips out
*    - IE/Mac needs whitespace before <UL> and UL> tags in the markup
*         otherwise very odd things can happen
*       - hasLayout should not be triggered on LI elements under IE7
*       - IE/Mac has a selector bug where rMenu-v* and rMenu-h* rules
*      are applied to rMenu-v and rMenu-h elements. ie rMenu-vRight rules
*      get applied to rMenu-v elements. This is incorrect.
*    - if any parent element of the menu is a float it (or the parent of
*      the menu) needs to be relatively positioned. Otherwise the menu

Reset Browser Styles

// Put this these rules at the top of your CSS file and it will reset the default settings across all browsers to render the same. It's a great starting point for any new design.

body,div,dl,dt,dd,ul,ol,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,pre,form,fieldset,input,p,blockquote,th,td {margin:0; padding:0;}
table {border-collapse:collapse; border-spacing:0;}

h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {font-size:100%;}
q:before,q:after {content:'';}

Get CSS Rule w/ Selector

// gets the rule for a specific CSS selector

getRule: function(selector) {
  var mysheet = document.styleSheets[0];
  var myrules = mysheet.cssRules ? mysheet.cssRules : mysheet.rules;
  for (i = 0; i < myrules.length; i++)
    if (myrules[i].selectorText.toLowerCase() == selector)
      return myrules[i];

Clear Floats Without Structural Markup

This should allow you to clear floats in css, without adding extra elements. Add class="clearfix" to elements that need to be cleared. This should work in IE7 as well.

.clearfix:after {
content:".";
display:block;
height:0;
clear:both;
visibility:hidden;
}

.clearfix {display:inline-block;}
/* Hide from IE Mac \*/
.clearfix {display:block;}
/* End hide from IE Mac */

appendInputTypeClasses() - IE attribute selectors for form inputs

(Stolen from Jeremy Keith and Dustin Diaz: http://domscripting.com/blog/display/38).

Unobtrusive script takes a form inputs type attribute and copies it to that input's class. So, you go from...

<input type="text" />


...to...

<input type="text" class="text" />


Basically allows attribute selectors for form until IE catches up.

function appendInputTypeClasses()
{       /* adds input type as the inputs class */
        if ( !document.getElementsByTagName ) return;

        var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
        var inputLen = inputs.length;
        for ( i=0; i < inputLen; i++ )
        {
                if ( inputs[i].getAttribute('type') )
                {
                        inputs[i].className += ' '+inputs[i].getAttribute('type');

Baseline CSS FINAL - 2006-07-01

Resets CSS so all browsers are the same, and sets a cross-browser base font size (verdana 13px)

body,div,dl,dt,dd,ul,ol,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,pre,form,fieldset,input,p,blockquote,th,td{margin:0;padding:0;}

q:before,q:after{content:'';}
body{font:13px verdana,sans-serif;*font-size:small;*font:x-small;}
table{font-size:inherit;font:100%;}
