I think the menu should be less transparent and be more “unique”. Also, the “go” button seems to need some styling. Other than that, it looks quite nice! :smile:

Trinox3 7. November 2009, 13:03

nice.....

Trinox3 7. November 2009, 13:04

nice.....tnks

Trinox3 7. November 2009, 13:08

the searchbutton definately needs some styling but on the menu at first iwanted to create a image for it and tweak like a few other site then i came upwith the idea od which am using here....so ws wondering if u cud elaborate on what u meant by "Unique.." wud help me knw what to do without looosing that orignality dt borught about me choosing dt form for it

Amnith 7. November 2009, 13:19

It should be styled other than the general text on the page so that you easily can see it and figure out that you can use it to navigate on the page. :-)

Trinox3 7. November 2009, 13:42

ok...does this include the over -eefect..cuz i did implement a hover effect and i havnt gotten how to style a menu link to indicate its the current page it is on...saw the effects on ur menu..would love it if u cud tell me how u did that

Trinox3 7. November 2009, 13:49

and if ws to change the font type too something else i can find a cool font style to use....most are verdana,arial,serif or san-serifs...and i doubt most brosers support some other cool font styles i might like

Congrats on your effort man.

Ok for the comment, well I to be honest it's like a design that I've seen a couple of times. I agree about the unique factor. Since it is a personal website it should reflect your personality man. Something special about you should be seen.

The color combination is ok but i suggest you go with the occasion dude. Having to change your colors based on season would be something cool. That is just a suggestion.

But I like the concept, this is a good start man!

Keep it up! :yes:

Trinox3 7. November 2009, 14:58

ya dude its like u read my mind ws gona start work on a christmas look when am done with this one

josephnepomucin 7. November 2009, 15:00

Sounds cool man! By the way where are you parking this one?

Trinox3 7. November 2009, 15:10

well i wanna rollit out with ruby on rails so will check out some rail supported hosting sites...

Trinox3 7. November 2009, 15:11

dude was abit lost how do i stil a menu link to indicate it is the current page or do i have to use javascript for dt

josephnepomucin 7. November 2009, 15:13

Well, you can simply use CSS for it, and indicate in the class. For page detection there is an existing PHP server variable that can help you identify which page is executing. I am poor with Javasript, in fact I seldom use it unless it's AJAX library.

Trinox3 7. November 2009, 15:26

cool...ok how do i go the css route

josephnepomucin 7. November 2009, 15:29

css route? What do you mean?

Trinox3 7. November 2009, 15:36

as in how do i style it so if a view is on the homepage,designpage or about page, it is either highlighted or underline in a way

josephnepomucin 7. November 2009, 15:50

Ah i see, you have to use tag on it and style in your css.

a.link
a.visited
a.hover
a.active

etc...

you have to style it.

Look at this: http://beta.upethnom.com/index.php?page=101

The HTML code for that side nav is:







Look at Our Roots and its effect on the display.

The CSS controller says:

ul.sidenavigation{
font:10px normal Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
letter-spacing:1px;
margin-top:48px;
margin-left:0;
padding-left:0;
line-height:20px;
font-weight:normal;
color:#043602;
text-transform:uppercase;
border:0px solid;
list-style:none;
}

li.sidenavul{
width:192px;
list-style:disc;
text-transform:uppercase;
line-height:32px;
border-bottom:1px solid #088203;
margin-left:0px;
padding-left:0;
list-style:none;
} *:first-child+html li.sidenavul{ margin-bottom:-11px; }


li.sidenav{
width:166px;
list-style:disc;
text-transform:uppercase;
line-height:35px;
border-bottom:1px solid #088203;
margin-left:-14px;
margin-top:0;
padding-top:0;
padding-left:0;
}

a.sidenavlink{
text-decoration:none;
/* color:#f9e497; */
color:#043602;
}

.current{
color:#ffcb4f;
}

.sidehiglighted{
font-weight:bold;
margin-left:25px;
}

SEE .current? That is just one simple way to do it.

Trinox3 7. November 2009, 16:01

Amnith 7. November 2009, 17:51
