Hi, I'm consider buying your module but have a few questions first.

1. I need a vertical menu. Is it possible to style each individual menu item(e.g. Home is blue, Contact Us is green, etc.) Is this done using individual CSS classes?
2. For each menu item I need a to display the text and show and a small image icon at the right end of the text. The image needs to be positioned very precisely? Is this possible?
3. I'm assuming the menu is dynamic (It automatically includes the DNN pages already defined). Can it also include static menu items?
4. Finally, does the menu automatically add the Admin and Host menu items when an administrator/host logs in. Others I've used don't do this.

Thanks for your help...

Marcus.

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for the consideration.

Yes, it is possible to style each individual menu item seperately with an ID selector in the CSS.

Yes, you can display images using the backgound property in CSS which allows you to move the background around by pixel if needed.

Yes, the menu can include static items, but it is often easier to just make a hidden page in DNN and have it point to an external Url (even if it is an internal link). I have this setup on the home page of my site.

The menu can add the admin and host menus, or you can use a special menu item type that I created for this purpose so that those menus don't interfere with you "real" menu.  It creates the admin and host menus in a nice and compact drop-down list that makes it easy to navigate to those pages.  You can see an example of the select list type on this site at the top where it says Quick Nav. All menu instances can include and exclude tabs through a variety of ways.

How is this done?

Thanks!

Hi Keston,
It depends on which type you are using for the menu, but you should see id's on each list item that look like id="navParent-53" which is a combination of the menu id and the tabid

What you can do is use that as an ID CSS selector:

#navParent-53 {
background:url(myimg.gif);
}
