Hi,
Can anyone see any reason why the following wouldn't work? The current/notCurrent classes are already working with the top navigation in the design so the CSS is not the problem. I have used this successfully in a menu_normal, but this is the first time used in menu_stalks - maybe it doesn't work in menu_stalks?
[codebox] <ul>
<MySource_AREA id_name="left_nav" design_area="menu_stalks">
<Mysource_set name="settings.class.normal" value="notCurrent" />
<MySource_SET name="settings.class.current" value="current"/>
<Mysource_set name="settings.class.hierarchy" value="current"/>
<MySource_SET name="level" value="2" />
<MySource_SET name="min_num_levels" value="0" />
<MySource_SET name="max_num_levels" value="0" />
<MySource_SET name="alignment" value="left" />
<MySource_SET name="show_stalks" value="true" />
<MySource_SET name="indent" value="0" />
<MySource_SET name="min_height" value="25" />
<MySource_SET name="word_wrap" value="true" />
<MySource_SET name="ellipsis_length" value="0" />
<MySource_SET name="stalk_fg_colour" value="#000000" />
<MySource_SET name="stalk_bg_colour" value="#FFFFFF" />
<MySource_ASSET>
<li class="<MySource_PRINT var='settings.class' />">
<a href="<MySource_PRINT var='asset_link' />">
<MySource_PRINT var='asset_short_name' />
</a>
</li>
</MySource_ASSET>
<MySource_DIVIDER> <br /></MySource_DIVIDER>
</MySource_AREA>
</ul> [/codebox]
I should probably add that in the html output the class isn't printing: <li class="">
Hold the boat, it's OK, it does work with menu_stalks - silly old me, I had applied a customisation to this design area earlier when I was trying something and forgot to unapply it…all is good.
Thanks for reading…
Heh, its when you post it in public that the answer becomes clear. 
Glad you worked it out.
Yeah I know!
Um, I am having a bit of trouble with my menu now though. For some reason my normal menu is outputting each line of the menu as a table. It's wierd as I have another normal menu on the page and it's not making tables. Why does it print tables and how do I stop it?
Do I have give it a position: absolute/relative or float it or something?
[codebox]<ul id="navLeftBody">
<MySource_AREA id_name="left_nav_links" design_area="menu_normal">
<Mysource_set name="settings.class.normal" value="notCurrentLeftNav" />
<MySource_SET name="settings.class.current" value="currentLeftNav"/>
<Mysource_set name="settings.class.hierarchy" value="currentLeftNav"/>
<MySource_SET name="level" value="2" />
<MySource_SET name="prefix_with_divider" value="false" />
<MySource_SET name="suffix_with_divider" value="false" />
<MySource_ASSET>
<li class="<MySource_PRINT var='settings.class' />">
<a href="<MySource_PRINT var='asset_link' />">
<MySource_PRINT var='asset_short_name' />
</a>
</li>
</MySource_ASSET>
<MySource_DIVIDER> <br /></MySource_DIVIDER>
</MySource_AREA>
</ul>
[/codebox]
and the output:
[codebox]<ul id="navLeftBody">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="notCurrentLeftNav" style="width: 100%; vertical-align: top; text-align: left;">
<li class="notCurrentLeftNav">
<a href="http://aklcms1.corrections.govt.nz/corrnet/about_us/community_assistance/corrections_in_the_community2/introduction"> Introduction </a>
</li>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and so on down the list…[/codebox]
Sorry I've done it again, I deleted a menu_stalks customisation with the same area_id_name from the design and the table went away. Seems that menu_stalks use tables and somehow automatically customise themselves? So it was probably a hangover from when I had the menu_stalks menu in the design earlier. A bit of weirdness but once again all is good. Thanks:-)
Yes, I was going to reply, but I lost my mobile internet connection. :(’ /> If you change design area type, you must change the name of the design area as well. <img src=‘http://forums.matrix.squiz.net/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif’ class=‘bbc_emoticon’ alt=’ The stalks menu does use tables and is probably not terribly accessible (if that’s a concern for you). To create truly accessible menus, you need to use the normal menu.
