dipp02 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi everyone and thanks for looking at my thread. I am coding a website that has a similar site navigation as the one here. Now this is what i was going to do: Have about 4 rollover images and when you’re on that page the image will be highlighted. (like the home button above) And to do this i was just going to put html code in every page and change whichever image that page is under. For example, if it was index.php the user was browsing i would make the image not rollover and just stay highlighted instead by placing an img and link tag there. Here is the code: <!--START NAVIGATION content --> <table width="831" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="157" valign="bottom"><a href='index.php'><img src="images/homeBut2.jpg" alt="Home Page" width="157" height="27" border="0" /></a></td> <td width="161" valign="bottom"><a href="packages.php" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Packages','','images/packagesBut2.jpg',1)"><img src="images/packagesBut1.jpg" alt="Packages" name="Packages" width="161" height="27" border="0" id="Packages" /></a></td> <td width="160" valign="bottom"><a href="designs.php" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Web Designs','','images/webDesigns2.jpg',1)"><img src="images/webDesigns1.jpg" alt="Web Designs" name="Web Designs" width="160" height="27" border="0" id="Web Designs" /></a></td> </tr> </table> <!--END NAVIGATION content --> But i started thinking i could probably just write one piece of php code, that includes, let’s say sitenav.inc, where ever i wanted it to show up and i wouldn’t have to edit each and every page just in case there is an addition to the navigation or something. i just need some help starting this or if this can be done with php.

mrdamien Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 But i started thinking i could probably just write one piece of php code, that includes, let’s say sitenav.inc.... You sure can! Just use the include(); function http://ca3.php.net/include/ example: <html> <body> <? include ("menu.php"); // or menu.html or what ever you name it ?> This is the rest of the page </body> </html> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/84015-solved-help-with-site-nav/#findComment-427587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipp02 Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 OK yeah i thought you could by using the include Statement But im having problems coding it. How would i make it show the correct highlighted image on each individual page? Would i use an if statement? i don’t know how to get this code started. I know how to do the html fine. I just need to figure out the code part and how it’s going to know when to change the image to the stand alone highlighted image. The index.php highlighted image is “images/homeBut2.jpg” And the packages.php highlighted image is “images/packBut2.jpg” But I also don’t want it to rollover when the user is on that page. That’s when it will show the highlighted image. all other link buttons will rollover though. If you would like I can post a link to a working example of what im talking about. Let me know if your confused in anyway. Thanks.

willpower Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 yes you are on the right track. just declare a var before the include on each page. $page="home" or $page="contact"; then include the menu file and use an "if" or "case" statement Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/84015-solved-help-with-site-nav/#findComment-427651 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dipp02 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 OK COOL. So your saying, inside index.php or packages.php i declare a var and put the if statement in there? Not physically in the menu file nav.inc? do i just have the html code in there? Can you give me an example of the if statement ? Thanks for all your help.

Malevolence Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I thought I'd never have to deal with that Horrible JavaScript hover button again. Using CSS for Hover Buttons is so much easier when it comes down to the HTML Script. Plus, With CSS; you only need the Background image for the button (3 in 1 along side each other) and it loads so much faster than JScript (Image wise), plus it supports more Browsers and People who do not have JavaScript enabled. CSS hover buttons shouldn't give you the problem that the JS ones are because CSS hover buttons are generally <div class="button">Button Text</div> in the HTML. If you're interested in switching to CSS buttons; I'll give you a better example of the script and the image you need. (just reply) Regards, Dan.

I wish you the best of luck with your Hosting Company, Regards, Dan. PS: This is roughly what it looks like: http://www.runescapez.com/dbhosts/index.php EDIT: The good thing about CSS Hover buttons is that you can add/remove as many as you like without having to create new graphics; just 1 simple image with both states and you can add you're own button text on top. The best thing about having 1 image split-up is that the hover image doesn't have to load; because technically as soon as the normal button can be seen; then that means the hover has already loaded . I can't stand Dreamweaver's JS Hover button; it's one thing I learnt after waiting about 30 secs for a hover image to load! CSS is so customizeable so try to go for it when you can. In terms of code; CSS is very small too, while with HTML Tables, you have to write out quite a few things.

Malevolence Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 By the way; for the hover buttons I used your old buttons, not the wider ones. I think the one I did would look good anyway but If you want me to do the same but in the http://www.dbhosts.net/test/index.php style; I don't mind. You could try yourself by editing the values in the CSS such as line-height, height, width, background-posistion and background-image. Best 'O' Luck, Dan.

Thanks I really appreciate the luck with my hosting site, I’m trying to get it launched within the month And thanks for the help! I didn’t know CSS could do all of that... I will look more into CSS I know basics not much though. I’m sure after I look it over I will be able to edit it the way I want it. Again, Thanks for all the help and the time you spent making the above examples. Also, If I need any more help with anything else can I contact you directly thru pm or some other way.. I am sure I will have get stumped some way down the road.
