where can I edit / add ID's to the genrated menu lists? - simon - 2009-09-13
Hi,
I need to assign id's to the
[list] tags that are created on the fly when ZP generates the menu lists in order to get a bit of jquery working.
Can anyone tell me where they are? I specifically need to edit the News, Albums and Pages opening [/list]
[list].
Anyone help me out here? Be appreciated!
Thanks, Simon[/list]

If by IDs you mean the database ID field, then it is generated automatically. If you need something else, you will need to be more specific.

Thanks for the reply, allow me to clarify, and sorry for the confusion:
I want to assign a CSS ID to the opening `<ul>` of the html lists that are created when the navigation menus are generated. Example: `<ul id="my_id">` By Default they do not have id's assigned.
I specifically need to assign id's to the News, Albums, Pages and Archive menus opening `<ul>` so that I can control their behavior.
I am assuming I can edit this directly in one of the .php files, I am hoping someone can tell me where to look. Hope this is a but clearer?
Thanks in advance, Simon

Please review the functions guide. Generally speaking each of these functions which output HTML will allow you to pass an ID as an optional parameter.

It is also possible to put something like `...` around all those list and address them by `#menu ul`, `#menu ul li` etc., in case all should look the same.

Yes, true, that could have been a solution but i'm pretty sure it wouldn't validate.
But I discovered that the empty value in the passed parameters of the function was the ID, which was exactly what i needed!
Example: `<?php printAllNewsCategories("All news",TRUE,"expandNews","menu-active");` will output an unordered list with the following opening tag `<ul id="expandNews" class="menu-active">`
(which in my case allows me to apply a bit of jquery that writes a class to the specified `<ul>` contextually, according to what ID I have specified, which sets my menu to expand or not).

Yes, we added these parameters for that purpose..;-) Also if you need a full customized function you can also use the "get" variants that nearly every "print" function has to build yourown.
Regarding validation, my suggestion should validate as well as `<ul>` is actually allowed witin `<div>`.

Sure ul is allowed in div! But not vice versa (actually it might be allowed i would have to check to be certain i might have to eat my words..) but either way, in the context i am using it, it would be semantically incorrect
- I'm building a set of nested menus that slide open and closed.

`div` is also allowed within `li` but that would require customized functions anyway. And of course I don't know what you doing, so if it works for you everything is fine..;-)
