pagetitle and pageimage

[amanda]

I have been searching for a menu example using pagetitle and pageimage to indicate which section in the site the user is viewing for an upcoming project. Can anyone provide a link to a site where the menu is in use and how they declared pagetitle and pageimage?

Can this effect also be done using text instead of an image, without making a menu style for each menu item? For example, if I have a menu with, "Home, Contact, About," and a user is viewing a page in the About section. The About menu item will go from regular to bold text.

Thanks!

After doing some more searching, I found that what I really want are the pageabc menu item properties. The only thing is that the url of the menu item has to match the url in the browser for it to show up.

This is super useful. Looking at the diagram, put I put the word page in front of property names shown to clear up my confusion.

This would be achieved using pagecolor and pagebgcolor.

pageimage I was looking for refers to the image (icon) that the current page would display. So pagebgimage is what I really wanted to find.

I hope this helps other people to understand how to style their menus.

Hi Amanda,

You could take a look at the styleproperties reference page and you will see a lot of 'page' type parameters. They include the following page properties.

Code: Select all

pagebgcolor 
pagebgimage 
pageborder 
pageclass 
pagecolor 
pageimage 
pageleftimage  
pagematch 
pageoncolor  
pagerightimage  
pageseparatorimage  
pagesubimage 

I believe these can also be item properties which would allow you to have a different page property for each item, if you wished to code it in the item, i.e.

Code: Select all

aI("text=Hello All;url=whatever.com;pageimage=hello.gif;"); 
aI("text=Goodbye All;url=whatever.com;pageimage=bye.gif;");
