Question with PRMenuWidget
 
|
Hi everybody,
I have a question with PRMenuWidget. I have a menu where I have background images for each menu item and the name of the link is inside the image. For example, I have a home.gif where that picture has the background image with the "HOME" written inside. If I do this (in settings): - *Contact us>/Contact us* PRMenuWidget puts me in menu ul li the name ("contact us) and there is the href. However, what I want is: - Don't show any text in menu ul li - The href I want it for the whole menu ul li (the whole div) not only the text. I mean, I want that the user can click all over the menu background image. Now, the question is, can I do this with PRMenuWidget ? If true, how ? If not, what should I do ? make my own menu seaside component ? Thanks in advance for the help.

You'll probably need to fiddle with the css in this case too.
For this effect I make the menu a table as in: | *Home>/* | *Contact Us>/contact* | etc ), with the same fancy background image for each cell. Then, in the CSS I use .menu td a { width:100%; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 3em; } where the amount of padding will vary depending on how may menu items you have. CSS is one of my weak points so I usually have to fiddle with padding and margins to make everything "fit" nicely, and I usually make the left or right border solid 1px to get the visual separation. I have no idea if this is the best way to do it. Hope this helps John

John, first of all, thanks for the help :) Ok, this is a good solution, but I still have some problems: - I don't want to have my css images in Pier, but in library. - I have 2 images per menu item: the unslected one and the selected one (hoover). I need to set this trought CSS. - I think I need to set width for each menu item
John, I didn't understood. I need to have different background images for each menu item. Does that help me? Sorry, but I am very nowbie with CSS (and also with pier and seaside haha). Thanks

No problem. Just let me know if I am being a hinderance =)
Yes your constraints are numerous lol
I have accomplished ALMOST all of this using this css in the file library (I have yet to get the image url syntax working from the pier css file). .menu td a { background: url(mnuJpg); } .menu td a:hover { background: url(mnuAJpg); } notice the colon NOT period .menu td a.active { background: url(mnuBJpg); } Yours would be a little more complicated because (I believe) you are using a different css class for each menu item(?). BTW, to get rid of the link text put a space: * >/aPage* After playing with this last night it I realize that a table is not really necessary, it can be accomplished with a ul as well. Best of luck John
