I am trying to tweek my menu 2 tabs. After searching this site I could only find info on tweeking menu 1 in the "add html/css inserts" section.

I am trying to learn php but it is not going in as fast as I would like.

How do I change menu 2 settings. Tried to change div#menu1 to div#menu2 but nothing changed.
Could some one point me in the right direction.

Thanks Bob

Do you have a link to your site?
What do you want to change?

Larry,
I am trying to give the menu tabs a tab feel not just a bar across page. Rounded corners etc I can tweek menu1 but I cannot find code for menu2.

Thanks Bob

The code for menu1 with regards to round corners etc should be in ATO>Add HTML/CSS Inserts>CSS Inserts. You would just create a new CSS rule for menu2 and apply similar CSS.

Larry,
As per my origional post I can adjust menu1 but how do I create a new css rule for menu 2. I am new to php.
Do I copy and past all of menu1 setting and past into ATO>Add HTML/CSS Inserts below menu1 and just change menu1 to menu2. Tried to change div#menu1 to div#menu2 but nothing changed.


Thanks, Bob

You don't need any php. This is all done with CSS. You will have to add a transparent background to menu2 and you may have to use !important after some CSS rules.

Larry, Thanks for your help so far, but I am not a programer or understand CSS. I am trying to learn just enough to be able to do simple tweeks.

So you are telling me this is a big HTML programing job. I have gone to the w3school.com not much help there.
Where is menu2 code to to put this transparent background on.

Confused beginner, Bob

Just got into ATA css.php and found menu1 as ul rmenu li if that is right what does menu2 look like.

This is not a BIG job but you do need to understand CSS a bit. To give you an idea here is some code from ATO>Add HTML/CSS Inserts>CSS Inserts that relates to menu 1

/* Space between items of page menu bar */
div#menu1 ul.rMenu li, div#menu1 ul.rMenu li {
margin-right: 5px;
}

To change this to apply to menu2 as well you would use the following.

/* Space between items of page menu bar */
div#menu1 ul.rMenu li, div#menu1 ul.rMenu li, div#menu2 ul.rMenu li, div#menu1 ul.rMenu li {
margin-right: 5px;
}

As you can see I just added a comma and pasted a copy of what was there and changed div#menu1 to div#menu2. You just need to do the same type of thing to all the items that relate to menu1 and you may want to change the border radius on the menu2 so you don't have a square border radius on the bottom. You currently have several radius lines so if you just use logic you will see that to change

-moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px;

So that each corner is rounded you could just have one line like the following.

-moz-border-radius: 5px;

CSS is not too difficult. You just have to look at for a bit to figure out what it is doing.

Larry,
Thank you, thank you, it has been a great help pointing me in the right direction.
Since including
div#menu2 ul.rMenu li, the "Adjustments for the menu2 bars" showed up, have been playing around with it.
As yet can not get rid of the solid menu bar, tried inserting margin right with all the other margin settings but nothing changed.

Thanks, Bob

Still got solid menu whatever I do although the menu changes shape when you hover.

OK put border around tabs and you can see the spacing and shape but I cannot remove the background color, I have tried changing background but it changes the whole menu including the background spacing between the tabs not just the tabs. The background color stretches across the whole page. I have been spinning my wheels all day I have been able to change shape of tags but could not see it.

Bob

You just have to keep playing with the CSS. Leaning how to use Firebug with Firefox is a big help.

Problem solved, Removed the second menu bar and just added the Category Widget back.
My wife told me I was spending way to much time trying to learn CSS and told me to give it a rest as we have many more things to do such as SEO. It is no good making the site look wonderful is nobody comes by.

Managed to tweek the menu bar1 from information searched from this forum.

Thanks, Bob

I will eventually get around to learning CSS or if I ever got income from the site I would pay someone but alas no income.
