Centering Menu Links

Hi Guys,

Here's the site http://mos.sopacreative.com - how do I center the menu links - the developer I'm working with is having a hard time doing so. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Natacha

Re: Centering Menu Links

Hi Natasha,

In your skin .ascx file, look for this section:

                                <td width="100%" valign="middle" align="left" nowrap>
                                    <dnn:MENU runat="server" ID="dnnMENU" />
                                </td>

Change the align to "center".

Re: Centering Menu Links

This suggestion does not work. when I'm working with the ascx file in vswebdev, the menu control even shows centered. The site does not show the menu centered. any help on this? suggestions?

Re: Centering Menu Links

If you want to center the whole menu on the page, change your stylesheet for skin.css to this:

.menu
{
    height: 29;
    width: 740;
    background-image: url(images/menu.gif);
    text-align: center;
    }

If you want each menu item centered then do this:
.menu td { text-align: center;}

Re: Centering Menu Links

in the file spmenu.js there is a function:

this.menuAlignment = spm_getAttr(o, 'MenuAlignment', 'Center');

if I change it to 'Justified', the menu becomes justified.
If I change it to 'Right", the menu becomes right aligned
If I change it to 'Left', the menu becomes left aligned
If I change it to 'Center', the menu becomes left aligned.

The documentation says I can change it to these four options, but the center option just clearly doesn't work. I've exauhsted all other methods, such as:
<table>
   <tr>
      <td width="50"></td>
      <td>dnn:menu</td>
      <td width="50"></tr>
</table>

and centering the cell & table the menu is in. The only real solution that should work would be the center option noted above. Any idea on how I can get into the code deeper to find out where this option is located?

Any ideas on why the Center option doesn't work?
