Trying to set up a CSS menu

Post by SyntheticShield »

Im trying to set up a CSS Menu (horizontal) that will validate and work in as many browsers as possible, but Im having a bit of trouble with one things so far.

The menus keep showing the text "Current page is 1: Home".  It seems like a menu title or something but I can click on another link and it shows the text "Current page is 2: How CMSMS Works".  Is there any way to get rid of this, it is totally wrecking the menu?  Also, are their any good solutions out there for drop down menus that is native to CMSMS?  I saw one here in the tips and tricks section but I couldnt seem to get it to work.  What are all of you using for drop down menus.

One other thing I would like to do that I think would be better all the way around is just avoid the drop downs.  But to do that I need to have separate menus.  In Joomla I could create multiple menus, i.e. menu1, menu2, menu3, etc.  Then I would just call the menu where ever I wanted it to be displayed in the template and I could turn it off on some pages and on with others.  Is there a way to do this in CMSMS?  I never had to use drop down menus in Joomla and I validated as strict and Id really like to carry that over in CMSMS.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Perhaps, if you posted a link, we could see what you're talking about.

"CSSMenu's" are created especially for that "Drop-Down" that would validate as many people want to have that. If you do not want that you could try "Top Simple Navigation" menu as that (and "Minimal" and "left simple navigation") bahaves differently. You can call different menu in your templates as you wish. Of course it's not as straightforward but looking help at menu manager should help.

Nullig, this is on a test server, so posting a link would not have helped, but I should have specified that also.

KO, thanks for the assistance, I'll try the menus you mentioned and read the help file.  I know Ive looked at the other menus available, but I havent looked at the help file yet.

You need to take a look in the template of the menu you are using; go to Menu Manager and click the name of the template you are using (if you are using one...). You will see the text in there that you need to remove.
