ozmart2005 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I have someone who wants to change the standard dynamically generated categories menu, to something similar to what exists on another website, i.e. a menu where an image is swapped in/out upon rollover. So the effect is that when you rollover the link the image appears at the left hand side of the link. This is pretty easy to do with either javascript or CSS in a normal static webpage, but in the context of OsC where this menu is dynamically generated from the categories tables via PHP, I think it is not really that feasible without some major rewriting of the PHP code. (I have installed the basic design pack contribution). Is this a reasonable statement to make? Its just a cosmetic change..just a bit of eye candy with no real utility but my client has asked me to do it and I am very reluctant so I need to come back to him with a good argument against it, if only that its going to cost him a lot of money for very little benefit. Appreciate any thoughts, ideas, comments or suggestions on this and if there are any relalistic options. Thks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you just assign a separate css class for the <a> tag and its associated hover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
