03/13/2002 Entry: "Link issue"

If someone can tell me how to make the pull-down link menu play nicely with the "links open in new window" button, I'd be grateful. I'd also love to know how to make that menu smaller, too (font-wise, not content-wise, of course).

Oh! Someone fixed my comments. :) The parenthesis around the style in the .jumpmenu should be curly brackets (not going to try to do that again) - the two keys two the right of P on the keyboard, you need to shift to get it.

GM doesn't like me anymore. ::sniff::

Even if it didn't help her it finally made me figure out how that CSS stuff works! I've gone to websites that teach it, and I always get so confused. I'm not saying I'm ready to try it, but it sure did clarify a few things in my head.

I don't know about the "links open in new windo" thing, other than I'm pretty sure it CAN be done. Not much help.

However, you can customize the dropdown with CSS (at least in IE and maybe newer versions of Netscape/Opera) like so:

Add something like the following:

style="font-size:11px;color:#000;border:#000 1px solid;background-color:#FFF;"

You can, of course, adjust the pixel size and colors to fit your design.

Or you could just add that as a class to your stylesheet:

.jumpmenu (
font-size:11px;
color:#000;
border:#000 1px solid;
background-color:#FFF;
)

then add class="jumpmenu" where the style= would have gone in the above instructions.

Not sure if that helped at all. :)
