Hello, I'm having problems with my navigation bar. I tried using the code here: https://help.forumotion.com/t91142-hover-nav-barsrep-asap
But when I put it in my CSS page I get a message that says "We have counted a different number of "{" and of "}". It means your CSS risks to be not valid and will not be posted correctly on your forum."

Help please?
Thank you.

Hi there, can you post your entire CSS code via the

Code:

[code][/code]

Thanks!

To clarify, you need the code with the url's already in place?

Yes, I need the entire code on your CSS Spreadsheet.

Code:

Thank you.

Hello @Mutated09,

The problem to the code above is to line 4 as i see the code. In there you have

Code: #_portal {_mini_index {

which has twice the symbol

Code: {

. Check the element once more and correct the entire thing with the correct element and one { and you should be fine!

I changed the code to this but it still isn't working.

Code:


NAV BAR

You need to put 'NAV BAR' as a comment, like this...

Code:

/* NAV BAR */

Add it to the top of the CSS stylesheet.

It's still not working.

Do you exactly have numbers for the heights and widths?

This part?
width: XYpx;
height: XYpx;

Yes

I'm sorry, it still isn't working. Would it be possible for someone to play around with the code to make it work? Or can I add a menu that's already made from the Menu Maker website?
