Just getting started - menu manager and simple navigation questions[sorta solved

Post by rmfred »

I created a template and css based on the choc mint video tutorial.
I have associated my css file with the template.
I am also associating the accessibility and cross browser css - I understand this to be the way to prevent the tags from showing????

I'm using the simple_navigation.tpl for the menu like thus:

{menu template='simple_navigation.tpl' number_of_levels='1'}


When I view the site, the menu is "close" to what it should be in terms of design, BUT  li class="currentpage" and h3 and dfn tags are being put into the content.... the dfn tags are not being shown on the page, which is what I believe using the cross browser css does, it hides them, but I don't want the li class and h3 tags.

The only place these could be coming from is the simple_navigation.tpl file correct? If so, I cannot edit or even view that file from within the admin program.

How to I get rid of those tags?

For comparison to see what I mean you can view the site I'm attempting to duplicate http://www.rssasoccer.org/ and the CMS site http://www.powerbitwebdesign.com/cms/ don't worry about the missing images between the two sites... I'm only trying to figure out the menu at the moment.
thanks

Two things you can do...

Make a new menu template...

Go to menu manager > file templates click the arrowed icon to import name it submit, open the template and remove/change it submit then call it in the menu tag...

Style the existing items...

#navbar li.currentpage h3 {color:#fff;padding:0px; margin:0 20px; text-decoration:none; letter-spacing:1px;

font-weight:bold; line-height:28px; vertical-align:middle;border-bottom:4px solid #cc0000; padding-bottom:2px;font-size:1.25em}

Admin has all privileges - still no arrowed icon - I tried logging out and back in to no avail, I cleared cache to no avail.

Nope... don't see them on that site either....
"edit" Must be a firefox issue because I see them in your test site and my live site with IE6 but don't see them in either site with FF 2.0.0.8
