I am not certain if a content pane is the right term to be using for this, but what I am trying to achieve is definitely close to that description.
I am attempting to write a webpage that has a section with a List, with Sublists that when hovered over will display their own subs to a 'content' pane to the side such that the space to the right is filled with info about the hovered-over list item. For example, say the list is as follows:
- Workshops
- Workshop A
- Workshop B
- Workshop C
- Training
- Training Program A
- Training Program B
- Products
- Product A
- Product B
- Product C
With my current method (described in more detail below) I have a div with formatted content displaying to the right, but each section displays this third tier div to the right of the first item in the corresponding second tier list. I am hoping there is a way to have this third tier always appear to the right of the at the very start of this tree, but I am unsure how.
I feel a CSS only approach is doable for this, so my question is: How can I get the third tier list (in the form of a div) to display to the right of the very first bullet regardless of which second tier it springs from?
My current code is as follows:
/* ------------------------ Pane --------------------------- */
#Content_Menu {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
/* Main List */
#Content_Menu ul {
position: relative;
left: 10px;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
#Content_Menu li {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
text-decoration: none;
list-style: none;
text-align: left;
}
/* Sub List */
#Content_Menu li ul {
position: relative;
left: 20px;
top: 100%;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
/* Sub-Sub List aka. Content Pane */
#Content_Menu li ul li ul{
display: none;
position: absolute;
left: 40%;
top: 0px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#Content_Menu li ul li:hover ul{
display: inline;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
and the html is:
<div id='Content_Menu'>
<ul>
<li><a href='Service_Workshop.html'><span>Workshops</span></a>
<ul>
<li>
<a href='#'><span>Workshop A</span></a>
<ul>
<li>
<div class="Content_Pane_Info">
<h3> Workshop A </h3>
</div>
<p> This is sample text /<p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<a href='#'><span>Workshop B</span></a>
<ul>
<li>
<div class="Content_Pane_Info">
<h3> Workshop B </h3>
</div>
<p> This is sample text /<p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
etc.
Remove the relative position off the all the uls and just assign to the ul itself.
Do not have a position relative here:
