Hello,
I would like to create a horizontal list and use it as my menu. I would like the current page to be marked in some way (highlight, bold...).
I know how to do this when building sites the "traditional" way, but I’ve run into a problem trying to do it in a MODx template.
I am using the Andreas02 template on my site:
http://www.espanolathome.com and my simple menu is at the top.
I changed the navigation and would like to use a simple horizontal list. I would like the ’current page’ to be marked in some way similar to this:
HTML
<div id="navcontainer">
<ul id="navlist">
<li id="active"><a href="#" id="current">Item one</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item two</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item three</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item four</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item five</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
#navlist li
{
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
padding-right: 20px;
}
The problem is that with the template I am using, my menu is in a ’chunk’ which is in the ’template’, so I can’t create
<li id="active"><a href="#" id="current">Item one</a></li>
on each individual page. The menu also links to one of my other sites, so I don’t think I can use a menu that relies on the ’ids’ listed in the document tree.
Does anyone know of a way I could make a simple horizontal list like this one
