Subject: Re: [css-d] Uberlinks...
Wait, the links are in a server side include, not on the page
itself. The
page is linking to the virtual include, so essentially, the
information is
the same on each page. Normally, this is a wonderful way of doing
navigation, banners, and footers. Make one change, and it affects
every
page. How do I affect the page's navigation without pulling the nav
out of
the SSI and putting it on each page?
I think this is also what threw me on the Uberlink page.
Use a body ID method.
Leave your main link styles for the menu the way they are as
descendants of the leftnav DIV. Then...
Id the body:
<body id="home">
Then ID each link:
<div id="leftnav">
<ul>
<li><a href="/index.shtml" id="home-link">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/about-us.shtml" id="aboutus-link">About Us</a></li>
<li><a href="/portfolio.shtml" id="portfolio-link">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="/testimonials.shtml"
id="testimonials-link">Testimonials</a></li>
<li><a href="/contact-us.shtml" id="contactus-link">Contact
Us</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Write your uberlink rule like this:
#home #home-link, #aboutus #aboutus-link,
#portfolio #portfolio-link, #testimonials #testimonials-link,
#contactus #contactus-link {
background-image: url(perry_images/blue.gif) !important;
}
Now you simply change the ID on the body element to set your
"uberlink"
<body id="home">
<body id="aboutus">
<body id="portfolio">
<body id="testimonials">
<body id="contactus">
