Subject: [wp-testers] Menu class for container.
Right now the menu container and design is controlled by twentyten with:
<div id="access" role="navigation">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'container_class'
=> 'menu-header' ) ); ?>
</div><!-- #access -->
The widget however, does not contain a static class as a container, except
for the Ul part:
<div class="menu-fmenu-container">
<ul id="menu-fmenu" class="menu">
</ul>
</div>
However, the extra <div id="access" role="navigation"> is not avialable as
a static with the widget.
Adding to the container wrap (replacing access for menu-container as a
static)
<div class="menu-fmenu-container menu-container" role="navigation">
This will allow the Navigation Menu widget allow users to create a static
CSS for their themes and allow end users to create their own navigation
CSS for it.
Now, imagine a theme that has an above header below header below blog
widget area. Keeping a static <div> in those locations with certain
browsers (*cough* IE) and if those are empty div's are empty the dom adds
to the draw time as well as if not styled right creates an empty space in
that area for IE6-7
To make it easier for people to make custom menus to just drop into
sidebar's for custom themes it would behoove us to use the classes that
get generated from within the widget itself hence adding a static would be
required. The container being dynamic with the menu name will not cut it
alone.
End users will then be able to use the menu UI create their menus with
whatever name but still have the themes design when dropping it into one
of the sidebars where they would want to have it.
I'm kind of dreading having to create options in my theme options to write
"put menubar here" [x] header [x]above header [x] below header, etc. And
having the container itself hardcoded like done on the twentyten.
