4.2 Customizing the Menu
When left unstyled, the output of “getMenuStructureList” (the function that generates the menu) will return a set of unordered lists. You will probably want to modify the way the menu is presented (in terms of aesthetics). You can find a list of <div> IDs associated with the menu in Appendix: xHTML/CSS Documentation.
The <div> IDs “topmenu” and “sidemenu” already exist with the inclusion of the /templateincludes/topmenu.php or /templateincludes/sidemenu.php. You can remove these if you specify the divisions on the template itself.
You will need to customize the CSS of the menus too.
Tip: IE6 Menu Behavior
Site visitors may experience odd menu behavior where they cannot access drop down menu items in IE6 as the menu “disappears”. This can be fixed by setting a background (color, image or ‘transparent’) on the second level <ul> element of the menu.
