In certain cases, webkit browsers may conceal LI A (display:block) elements

I have created a unique menu design that is based on the classic 'ul li' structure, but with 'a' elements set to display:block for precise positioning and sizing. There is also some transform:rotate applied, but this does not affect the functionality of the menu:

Most browsers display all menu items here correctly. However, webkit browsers hide child items such as 'item 2a', 'item 2b', 'item 3a', and so on. The links are present, as indicated by the cursor changing when hovering over their invisible location, but they remain invisible. Interestingly, adjusting the size of these hidden elements to slightly overlap their designated area (equal to the height of their parent LI element) makes them visible (here)

Any insights into what might be causing this issue?

Thank you.

Answer №1

In my personal opinion, negative margins and CSS rotation combined can present some challenges.

If I were in your shoes, here's what I would do:

  1. Change the positioning of the a.rotate links to absolute, to avoid disrupting the layout flow.
  2. Get rid of the negative margins altogether.
  3. Experiment with different approaches.

Check out this example I created: http://jsfiddle.net/958qQ/ The rest should be fairly straightforward.

Answer №2

Your approach using margins seems overly complex. I believe it would be more effective to utilize positioning for styling. Specifically, using absolute positioning for child elements.
