Nav is controlled by anything with #nav.
Here's a quick tutorial...
When you add an id to an HTML tag, you reference it with # in the css file.
Classes get referenced with . (periods). The hierarchy of nested
tags/classes/ids is what you are concerned with. _genericNav.cfm builds an
unordered list with the top tag being <ul id="nav"> which is referenced by
#nav. Whatever you pass in to _genericNav in the "id" parameter is what is
written here, "nav" is the default.
The flyout is usually in a hierarcy like this:
<ul id="nav">
<li>
<a>link</a>
<ul> (here's the sub nav)
<li>
<a>sub link</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
To change this so it never displays, you want to look for:
#nav ul
Or
#nav li ul
(see the hierarchical path taken in both HTML and CSS?)
Set display:none on anything you find and it'll stop it but by passing
depth=1 in the _genericNav tag, you should be immediately eliminating the
subnav.
I'll admit, I was busy when this site was being written so I was not in
charge of all of it. There are some quirky things in the files that I sent
you. They should work fine but may not be as optimal as you'd like.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [farcry-dev] Re: FarCry Navigation still not working
Hey Jake,
Thanks, that did help get me on the right track. Now I will be the first
to admit that I am NOT a CSS guru, in fact I struggle with it on a
constant basis. Perhaps I need to get off my lazy butt and get a good
CSS book. Anyway, I have the navigation on the left but there are two
things that are bothering me. Not all of the links are stacking, some
are side by side. And I still have the menu flying out when I hover.
Would you be willing to point me to the part in the CSS that controls
the hover so that does not happen? Also, I am assuming that CSS is also
controlling the clicking of the link to expand/retract it? And finally,
none of my links even work. I am not 100% sure where this is supposed to
happen, the onclick event.
And one more question for anyone on the list. When it comes time to
import my custom built apps into the framework, are there any good
tutorials on-line somewhere that I can read that shows me how to do this?
Thanks everyone and have a Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday/Happy Hanukkah
or whatever you celebrate.
