Hi - Just wondering if someone can point me in a direction to start understanding how to build the drop down menus as on the farcry website ( I am looking at the documentation pages at present ). I know that I am going to be using nested lists, generated
There are three parts to building FarCry navigation menus.
i. Getting the data - querying the db for the navigation objects ii. Building the mark-up - creating valid (x)HTML unordered lists iii. Styling it - using CSS to style as required
The code I posted on Friday (23/01/04) shows two methods of querying the data - getDescendants and getBloodline - and then builds up nested lists.
The great thing about building up nested lists (beyond the accessibility benefits) is that you can use CSS to style vertical, horizontal or drop-down menus - all using the same HTML.
I'll be using the Suckerfish drop-downs (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/) in the tutorial I'm currently writing up.
