need table help

eyece · #1 (**permalink**) 07-26-2005, 05:22 AM

i have a nav for my site, when you are on a page of the site that part of the nav is a diffrent color,
f you go to my site http://dhost.info/eyece/
and just move around a bit you can see that it changes, but the way i have it now is every diffrent page has a diffrent table in it, so if i want to add somthing tothe nav i will have to edit heaps of pages,

i need to make it that i put a script on a page and it will change the backround of a cell in my nav when the page loads
that way i can have a diffrent background for the part your on but still be able to add to the nav

i downloaded this one script, it was a java script i put in my head tag, and i put a bit of code in the <table> tag of my table and it would change the background of a cell when my mouse moved over it, i could exclude cells by changing the id of the cell to "ignore"

so i tryed ignoring all but the one i want to change, but that still means i have to have a diffrent table for each page, so if i wanted to add a new link to the nav i would still have to edit ever page

can anyone help me on this?

Hi eyece,

Welcome to WMH!

if your file name not change, you can track the file name and change the background color, you are using the apcahe server user below to track the file name

PHP Code:


		
			
$var_array = explode("/",$PATH_INFO);
$var_array[0] = "download.php"
  
if($var_array[0]=="download.php")
$color=#000000;
if($var_array[0]=="media.php")
$color=#000000;
...
..
.

May be it will help you

Enjoy!

Regards
Jitender

i found a way to do it,

Code:

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
<!--
function flashit(){
if (!document.all)
return
if (soldat.style.backgroundColor=="#004444")
soldat.style.backgroundColor="#003333"
else
soldat.style.backgroundColor="#003333"
}
setInterval("flashit()", 9999)
//-->
</script>

it was that simple ^.^
thanks anyway

if you want to input a nav like this, you will have to make each diffrent item in your menu a diffrent table, make sure all the tables have id's and a background color
then put this code under the nav..... or the php include if you want to use that
if its put on top it will load to fast and it will not find the menu, it needs to load after the menu

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

</script>

change "name" to the id of the table that you want high lighted, being what part of the nav, as they should all be diffrent tables with diffrent id's
you will need to edit the script for each page so that it high lights the right table/menu item
change "unhigh lighted color" to the color of the table/menu item you want to change
and change "highlighted color" to the new color
this locks onto the table background color.... not the cell background color if there is a cell background color you will not be able to see the table background

hope you understand... if not add my msn... killjoy.j@ihug.co.nz

Yes..

It's also a good idea to change the table background color
