Merging two menu styles

Post by fredlongworthhighschool »

Is it possible to combine two menu styles?

I ask because I am currently coding a V5 IFRAMES menu, but would like to take advantage of the XP style.

Is it just a case of importing the style (and GIF images) from the xp JS file and then implementing it in my JS data file?

Or are there other more technical parameters which would make it difficult and unfeasable.

I ask because on my V3 site I sometimes make use of small icons in the menu system and it would look more uniform with the XP style.

Yeah Andy, you should be able to just take the style thats named XP and copy it into your JS files and then just implement it. Just keep in mind, there is alittle more I think to the XP look than just the style. In each individual menu definition there is some padding and bordering you need to keep an eye on. But yeah, in a nut shell, its possible, just copy it in. But each menu can only reference one style.

I tried to use 3 xpmenu's on one page, on the third I took out the xtra graphics, it wouldn't load and had to reboot the computer. But I did manage to take out the graphics on the horizontal main xpmenu.

I can't get it to work properly. For some reason, the

Code: Select all

table {background-color: #f2f662;}
in my colour setting CSS file is stopping the two colour grey background from loading.
