assign css to non link title

mrbiggles · #1 04-08-2005, 05:25 PM

Hello

I am in the middle of creating a menu in a dialog box.

I have created a new entry in css and can change the links such as

Code:

 {$lng.lbl_contact_us}

to a different style, than others in the same box.

my question is how do I assign css to a title only, for example the following.

Code:

{$lng.lbl_contact_us}</A>

I am guessing I have to add

Code:

class="VertMenuItemsl"

somewhere next to the label but I just dont have the brainpower to figure it out.

The reason for doing this is that I want my menu to look like the following

Processors (title-different font, different font size, and not linked)
Athlon
Semperon
Pentium 4 (these will link directly to the corresponding categories and be of standard font size)

Hello

Worked it out
For anyone who wants to know this in future it is

Code:

<A " class="VertMenuItemsl"> 
{$lng.lbl_contact_us}</A>

My only question is what does the A designate?

That is actually not correct Adam. The A tag is used to designate a link, if you don't have a link, you don't need it. Just use a span tag like this:

Code:

<span class="VertMenuItemsl">
{$lng.lbl_contact_us}</span>

Thanks Balinor

I was using a trial and error method, and got the result I wanted, I will now modify them so they are correct.

Another way to do the same thing

Code:

<font class="VertMenuItemsl"> 
{$lng.lbl_contact_us}</font>

I don't believe it, but I am actually going to disagree with Shan on something!

The <font> tag is a depreciated tag, meaning it is no longer standards compliant. While it technically still works, it should be avoided. The <span> tag achieves the same effect.
