Menu Formatting Question

[dtaylor]

Running CMSMS 1.2.5 on local WAMP 2.0 Server.

I am in the process of creating a new site with a custom template and stylesheet.
The site's main menu is vertical, and it is included in the main template with the code
listed below.

( Note that although the Accessibility and Cross Browser Tools stylesheet is associated
with the site template, no other menu stylesheet is associated.)

   
Pages
{cms_module module="menumanager"}
   

The links are working as I would like and I have been able to format them by
manipulating styles in the associated css. However, I do not seem to have
complete control over the menu item that names the currently loaded page.
For example, if the Home page is loaded, the Home menu item loses its status as
a link, and becomes a h3 with no caps. I can control some aspects of the
item by manipulating the h3 attributes in the css, but i do not seem to be able
to capitalize it.

Where do I go to gain full control over menu items for the currently loaded page?
In the menu manager, there are three default file templates. There is an option
to import them to the database. Should I be doing this? If so, which template should
I import, and what must be done to it once imported?

Thanks.

If you call the menu manager w/o a template call it uses the simple_navigation.tpl so you would have to call it like...

#menu h3 {your style} which would be a copy of your other CSS calls for the a link...

Thanks for the tip. Using a copy of the other CSS calls for the a:link does not seem to fix the issue though.  The reason for this, I think, is because the simple_navigation.tpl is written so that when you are viewing a particular page, the menu item for that page is no longer an actual link. That being the case, assigning link pseudoclass attributes does not effect the menu item output.

Anyway, I seem to have hacked my way around the issue by adding text-transform:capitalize; to the h3 tag.

Thanks again.
