List Based Menu Style

Post by Philly »

Hi,
I'm currently building a list based menu to which I would like to set a unique style for each button (For eg. Each button has a different background image and same thing for the submenus)

Based on the code it seems that we can only set one general style that affect all buttons from that menu.
buildListMenu("milonicmenu1","menuStyle","alwaysvisible=true;orientation='vertical';top=10;followscroll=1;")

Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks

Hi,

As far as I know it isn't possible to do this with bgimages, though you can try. It is possible to do it with images. If you look at this topic the person explains how they did it. You can try and experiment with other things [which I was going to do but never found the time :oops: ]

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8373&p=40408#p40408

Hope this helps. Of course if the reason for listbased is to have text, then the images are not a solution, but if it's only for those without js, then you could do images, but that is a lot of images since each would have to have its own text on it. I will see if I put aside some time to experiment and see what properties will work in the li

Thanks for your help, the thread provided is very interesting but the main reason for all this is that the site i'm building needs to be adapted for visual impaired users and to accomodate their tool I must be able to fully display all information without CSS or Javascript. The solution provided would unfortunatly add unwanted text string to display. I've communicated with Milonic support and they provided some possible solution with a new menu system.

Thanks again.
