Highlighting Current PageCSS Menu Writer 2.0 allows you to higlight the menu item associated with the page that is currently being viewed. The following options are available regarding this feature. None: Turns off this feature and does not highlight any menu items. Current page only: Only highlights the menu item specifically for the current page. Top level of current page: Highlights the top level menu item that contains the current page. Entire navigation route: Highlights the menu item for the current page, and all higher level items that lead to the current page. BorderThis section sets the border properties for the selected menu component. You have the option of setting the same border properties for all four sides of a component using the All tab, or setting individual properties for each of the four sides of a component: top right, bottom, and left. Enabling properties in the All tab disables configuration in the other four tabs. The border column in the Menu Level control, when All is selected, displays shorthand for the border attributes applied. Otherwise, it will display top, bottom, right, or left for any tabs with information entered.PreviewThe Preview pane displays a representation of the menu's design based on the configuration options you have specified. The preview area within the 3-tab interface displays placeholder text instead of the actual text for your menu items. Click once on the preview area to display the menu within your default browser. From the Design interface, your preview will only contain placeholder text. After making any changes to your design, click Apply to view those changes in the preview. |
