[SOLVED] Way to Remove Numbers from CSSMenu Menu Items

Hello,

I've just set up my first CMSMS site with CMSMS V1.1.1, and am befuddled with trying to remove the numbers from the CSSMenu Menu Items - if that makes no sense at all, take a look at this page please: http://tomsee.cohete.org 

See how each of the main menu items is numbered?  Seems like that's a default setting from the CSSMenu Horizontal Menu settings (I have no idea  :) )?

Thanks for any help on this,

Darin

I think (without looking) that it's something like

dnl:  { display: none }
but check what the tag is surrounding the numbering to be sure.

Hi Darin.

CMSms uses numbers to specify the relationship between menu items and their sub-menus. For example:

1: Section 1
1.1: Subsection
1.2: subsection
2: Section 2

In the menu system of the web site, these numbers are wrapped with a dfn tag like this 2: .

In the CMSms admin panel, under Layout -> Stylesheets, you should have a stylesheet called "Accessibility and cross-browser tools." Make sure to select it for the template(s) you are using. It has a CSS style that will make these tags invisible. I pasted it below.

dfn {
  position: absolute;
  left: -1000px;
  top: -1000px;
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  display: inline;
}

You probably can also just create your own style:

dfn { display: none } (Not "dnl" per Calguy's comment!)

thanks michelG: 

Code: Select all

dfn: {display: none}
should do the trick.  It's been answered numerous times before.

Thank You Much!

You got me looking and on the right track and it worked - I added this to the .css file that the menu is using:

Code: Select all

#primary-nav dfn {
        display: none
}
Thanks again,

Darin


Edit: I guess we all posted the last three posts nearly simultaneously - thanks to both of you, the problem is solved - sorry it's been solved many times before - I honestly did do a few searches before posting - maybe this is a good addition to the sample css file with a comment on use?

Another Edit: MichaelG, thanks for the extra info re: the Accessibility and Cross-Browser Tools css - that's HUGE!  I'll look into it - thanks again to you both.
