    I didn't know where to post this quesiton. Is CSS-based layout possible with MODx? I know CSS and would like to stick with CSS-based layout rather than tables. I know NucleusCMS follows this approach as does Textpattern. Any existing CSS-based examples would help.

    thanks,
    Kurt

      With MODx you can design your templates the way you like them best. You can use pure css or css+tables. The choice is really up to you the designer smiley

      The same goes for your documents

            What if I wanted to move an existing site to MODx that uses CSS-styled unordered lists to provide navigation? And is it possible ot have two forms of navigation, say, horizontal tabs at the top, that when clicked would display sidebar menus correpsonding to the subchoices for that particular section of the website?

            I have a site that has several main "tabs" at the top. The tabs are actually an <ul> styled with CSS to display as horizontal tabs at the top of the page (a partial sample is here: http://kurt-krueckeberg.zftp.com/cc/index.html).
            Some of the "tabs", when clicked, bring up a page that has sidebar navigation, which is also a CSS-styled <ul>.

                Nice design.

                too bad that a big image covers up all of the text.

                    I use one version of ListMenu snippet to create the top languages menu, specifying the root (0) as the ID for the documents to use for the menu, then another to create each language's main menu, using a variable taken from the document selected from the top menu as its root ID. It took a little hacking to maintain the language ID (which is simply the ID of the root document for that language; English (ID 13) is the homepage and the root for the English menu).

                    I have a zip file of many of the snippets available on my downloads site.
