image in the menu

jonaschafer / 2008-04-24 15:10:31   

hola.

am trying to add an image above my menu list but am stumbling over my code (new to this). my site:

jonschafer.com

is trying to add this image:

jonschafer.com/talk_block.gif

above my menu list (by "list" i mean the navigation on the far right of my page). and I can't seem to copy my code in here...

mucho thanks in advance!!

Hello Jonas

the quick and dirty way to do this if you don't want to mess with code is:

- go to an exhibit page (any will do)
- use the file manager to upload the image, and insert the image in your exhibit
- cut the code from your exhibit and paste it into the "pre-nav" input box (it's in the settings page)

Voilà

this is not sophisticated but it sure as hell works

thanks!

it worked but i cant seem to get the image to be clickable (e.g. to link anywhere).

You put a link on it?

jonaschafer / 2008-04-24 21:58:26   

i did. now it works. but i can't get it to ignore my CSS link styles.

ideas?

thanks Vaska!

Search the forum for 'image' or 'link' or 'css'...we've posted the fix for this a number of times. With css you can force the background color to not appear.

awesome. double awesome. thank you so much!

dang. sorry to hop on about this but i can't seem to find the post that mentions how to nix the CSS style for an image in the menu.

i see how to add CSS to separate menu items from other items (#283) but not my problem.

?

thanks!

for reference, i've tried adding:


a:link img { background: transparent; }

but doesn't work.

Also, you might try:

a img { background: transparent; }

And also add border='1' to the image inside the link.

hmmm...tried both options (yours and that post) but nothing. Check it out:

Thanks Vaska!

You need to figure it out from here...you have enough info to get started learning a little css...

jonaschafer / 2008-04-24 23:53:39   

fair enough - practice makes perfect!

thanks for all the help!

:)

alright! if instead of changing the background-color to "transparent" which seems to do nothing, if i change it to my background color all is well.

ha!

cool.
