Dynamic <ul> based menu styling ??

[charlesg_couturier]

Hi

I would like to style a category block using CSS in a way to present each child item while hovering over the parent item. Just a simple dynamic menu basically, with relevant subcategories and parts that pop up when the user moves her mouse over a title.

I have ruled out the use of the "explorer-like" categorytree supplied with basic theme, since it rely on non stadard ways of doing things (to say the least). In other words, it doesn't generate any valid CSSable html code.

The categoryblocks plugin seems to be promizing. I managed to figure out how to call a method of the np catalog object, however, instead of populating the categoryrepeater as expected, it only displays the first category object of the array returned by the categoryrepeater.DataSource = bp.Catalog.GetChildCategories(true) method.

Any idea how I could get the full output (the whole array content) returned as

<ul><li /><li /></ul>

so that I can style all that with CSS?

Thanks a lot

Hello Charles

Have you managed to create the CSS styled menu you were asking about. If so I would be extremely interested in how you managed to do it as I am needing to do the same.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
