hover state positioning...

Hey guys

Just wondering how i would get the hover state word to be positioned above the arrow in the attached screenshot

Heres the css i have :

ul#cssmw {  cursor: default;  list-style-type: none;  margin: 0 0 0 2px;  padding: 0 0 0 0;}
ul#cssmw ul { cursor: default; list-style-type: none; margin: 0 0 0 0; padding: 0 0 0 0;}
ul#cssmw ul li { background-image: none; float: none;}
ul#cssmw li { background-image: none; float: left; padding: 0 0 0 0; position: relative; white-space: nowrap; z-index: 100;}
ul#cssmw li ul { display: none; top: 0;}
ul#cssmw li:hover > ul { display: block; position: absolute;}
ul#cssmw li.hover > ul { display: block; position: absolute;}
ul#cssmw li.current > ul { position: absolute;}
ul#cssmw > li { background-image: none;}
ul#cssmw > li > a, ul#cssmw > li > a:link { background-color: #5d5e61; background-image: none; border-style: none; color: #FFFFFF; display: block; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; height: 25px; padding: 120px 0px 0px 0px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-transform: uppercase; width: 93px; outline-style: none;}
ul#cssmw > li > a:active, ul#cssmw > li > a:focus { background-color: #FF00FF; background-image: url("../images/misc/nav-arrow.png"); background-position: center 123px; background-repeat: no-repeat; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; outline-style: none;}
ul#cssmw > li:hover > a, ul#cssmw > li:hover > a:link { background-color: #FF00FF; background-image: url("../images/misc/nav-arrow.png"); background-position: center 123px; background-repeat: no-repeat; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; outline-style: none;}
ul#cssmw > li.current > a.current, ul#cssmw > li.current > a.current:link { background-color: #FF00FF; background-image: url("../images/misc/nav-arrow.png"); background-position: center 92%; background-repeat: no-repeat; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; outline-style: none;}



thanks in advance

there is probably a better way of doing this but have worked one way out by changing the hover css from this

html:
ul#cssmw > li:hover > a, ul#cssmw > li:hover > a:link {  background-color: #FF00FF;  background-image: url("../images/misc/nav-arrow.png");  background-position: center 123px;  background-repeat: no-repeat;  color: #FFFFFF;  font-weight: normal;  text-decoration: none;  outline-style: none;}



to this

html:
ul#cssmw > li:hover > a, ul#cssmw > li:hover > a:link {background-color: #FF00FF;  background-image: url("../images/misc/nav-arrow.png");  background-position: center 138px;  background-repeat: no-repeat;  color: #FFFFFF;  font-weight: normal;  text-decoration: none;  outline-style: none; padding-bottom:15px;margin-top:-15px;overflow:hidden;}



is there a better way to achieve this?

That looks like it should do the trick.

thanks Jason

I also need to make the hover/focus and active colours differnt for each navigation point but am unsure as to how I would structure the naming of the css elements and then how to id or class the on page elements.

Thi sis the one colour fits all css at the moment:

html:
ul#cssmw > li > a, ul#cssmw > li > a:link {  background-color: #5d5e61;  background-image: none;  border-left: 2px solid #fff;  color: #FFFFFF;  display: block;  font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;  font-size: 14px;  font-style: normal;  font-weight: normal;  height: 25px;  padding: 120px 0px 0px 0px;  text-align: center;  text-decoration: none;  text-transform: uppercase;  width: 91px;  outline-style: none;}
ul#cssmw > li > a:active, ul#cssmw > li > a:focus { background-color: #ff426b; background-image: url("../images/misc/nav-arrow.png"); background-position: center 143px; background-repeat: no-repeat; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; outline-style: none;padding-bottom:20px;margin-top:-20px;overflow:hidden;}
ul#cssmw > li:hover > a, ul#cssmw > li:hover > a:link {background-color: #ff426b; background-image: url("../images/misc/nav-arrow.png"); background-position: center 143px; background-repeat: no-repeat; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; outline-style: none; padding-bottom:20px;margin-top:-20px;overflow:hidden;}
ul#cssmw > li.current > a.current, ul#cssmw > li.current > a.current:link { background-color: #ff426b; background-image: url("../images/misc/nav-arrow.png"); background-position: center 143px; background-repeat: no-repeat; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; outline-style: none;padding-bottom:20px;margin-top:-20px;overflow:hidden;}



and this is the navigation set:

html:
<ul class="level-0" id="cssmw">
<li class="parent"><a href="index.php">home</a></li>
<li><a href="books.php">books</a></li>
<li><a href="marketing.php">marketing</a></li>
<li><a href="websites.php">websites</a></li>
<li><a href="about.php">about</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.php">contact</a></li>
</ul>



any steerage in getting this would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Jamie

add a unique ID to each element:

<li id="books"><a href="books.php">books</a></li>


then add the id selector to the css rule, for example:

ul#cssmw > li#books > a, ul#cssmw > li#books > a:link
