[SOLVED] brain fart

[dare87]

So here is my problem. I have my set of links on the left of my site. The look is done with css. As you can see I have a class that is called sideBarTitle. I originally plan not have this as a link, but things change.

 

Is there a way to do a php code, that makes the css, think it's not a link, or does anyone have an idea on how to change the css.. I have been working on it for the last few hours.

 

Thanks

I am also looking for a possible php solution.

I am also looking for a possible php solution.

 

Quite how would php running on the server change the style of a link or non-link when displayed on the client?  Perhaps you need to explain what you expect to do on the server to effect the change in the display.

[dare87]

the problem I am having is that because it is <a href=""></a> then it is changing the look of the <li></li>

 

So i was wonder if there is a way to have a php link that is not just an echo a href....
