Hi everybody,

I have a question with PRMenuWidget. I have a menu where I have background images for each menu item and the name of the link is inside the image. For example, I have a home.gif where that picture has the background image with the "HOME" written inside.

If I do this (in settings):

- *Contact us>/Contact us*

PRMenuWidget puts me in menu ul li the name ("contact us) and there is the href. However, what I want is:

- Don't show any text in menu ul li

Use a reference to the image in the link so it would be
- *+homeImage+>/*
- *+contactImage+>/contact* then make the references point to the desired image. You'll probably need to fiddle with the css in this case too.
 

John, first of all, thanks for the help :)

Ok, this is a good solution, but I still have some problems:

- I don't want to have my css images in Pier, but in library.
- I have 2 images per menu item: the unslected one and the selected one (hoover). I need to set this trought CSS.
- I think I need to set width for each menu item
 


- The href I want it for the whole menu ul li (the whole div) not only the text. I mean, I want that the user can click all over the menu background image.

For this effect I make the menu a table as in:  | *Home>/* | *Contact Us>/contact* | etc ), with the same fancy background image for each cell. Then, in the CSS I use .menu td a { width:100%; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 3em; } where the amount of padding will vary depending on how may menu items you have. CSS is one of my weak points so I usually have to fiddle with padding and margins to make everything "fit" nicely, and I usually make the left or right border solid 1px to get the visual separation. I have no idea if this is the best way to do it.

John, I didn't understood. I need to have different background images for each menu item. Does that help me?

Sorry, but I am very nowbie with CSS (and also with pier and seaside haha).

Thanks
 

Hope this helps
John
 

Now, the question is, can I do this with PRMenuWidget ? If true, how ? If not, what should I do ? make my own menu seaside component ?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Mariano
