Need help with horizontal CSS menu [solved]

Post by tmeyer45458 »

I am currently using the "stock" horizontal CSS menu that came with the cmsms package on one of my sites.  One of the links in the nav bar uses a the drop down menu and I need to disable the main nav link (using the dropdown menu) and still maintain active links below the "disabled" main nav link. 

Example of what I need:

Parent nav link
  -child link one
  -child link two
  -child link three
  -child link four

I need the parent link to be text only...yet still provide me with access to child links.  One more note, I have the site in question "locked down" as it is still being developed and not quite yet ready for public eyes. 

Thanks! ;D

What you can do is create the parent-menu as a link, and link it to the first entry. That way you don't have to maintain the data for it and can use it for drilling down. And if it is clicked, you jump to the first (or linked) child.

Actually, it's even easier than that.  Make the parent a section header.

RonnyK and heatherfeuer - Thanks for the replies.  I'm pretty new to cmsms and have never used a dropdown menu.  Never really been a fan of them for various reasons; however, my client wanted that so he is hopefully going to get it.

That said, I'm afraid I am going to need alittle "handholding" here.  If you could explain the "section header" a bit more I would appreciate it.  And any other ideas you may have.

Whoever can spell it out for me and make it work...gets $25 via paypal.  It has to work for payment:).  That's the only catch.  If anyone needs more info then I'll be happy to supply it.  I wish I had the time to toy around with it, but it's kinda crunch time and I need a solution.

Thanks,

tim

Payment not necessary.  When you go to Content ---> pages and click on a current page or add new content.  The first "box" says "Content."  Click on the down arrow and you will see the various types of Content available.  You can make a link, a section header, a separator (like an ), or a news item (if you have the news module installed). Use the SectionHeader for what you want to do.  The link is great for linking to a page outside of cmsms. The news content type opens up a different kind of wysiwyg window.
