Introduction

Using CSS Rules with AllWebMenus.

What you'll need

AllWebMenus

Steps

Scripts generated by the AllWebMenus DHTML Menu Maker application create HTML elements (and thus and
elements) in order to display the menu in your website.

Generic CSS rules that apply to all elements of a certain type (such as table) will also affect the elements created by the AllWebMenus' scripts. This can cause strange appearance of a menu.

Here is an example:

The original menu looks like this:

[1]

CSS rules like the following:

td {

text-align: center;

margin: 0.5em;

font-size: 100%;

color: black;

padding-left: 10px;

padding-right: 10px;

padding-top: 5px;

padding-bottom: 5px

}

and

tr {

text-align: left; 

margin: auto;

font-size: 100%;

color: black;

padding-left: 10px;

padding-right: 10px; 

padding-top: 5px;

padding-bottom: 5px

}

will cause a menu to look like this:

Instead of the above rules, you can use classes and add these classes to the elements of the page you want the CSS rules to be applied:

td.TDdefinition { 

text-align: center;

margin: 0.5em;

font-size: 100%;

color: black; 

padding-left: 10px;

padding-right: 10px;

padding-top: 5px;

padding-bottom: 5px 

}

and

tr.TRdefinition {

text-align: left; 

margin: auto;

font-size: 100%;

color: black; 

padding-left: 10px;

padding-right: 10px; 

padding-top: 5px;

padding-bottom: 5px

}

and in the source code of your page you can use the following

���


in the tables you want these CSS rules to be applied.
