I'm trying to create a CSS or Milonic based rollover appearance of a border appearing at the top and the bottom but NOT the left or right as I already have a border around the menu.

Is there a way to accomplish this with onborder or with custom CSS?

Thanks!

Hi,

You need to use css to create that kind of border. The css property you use is border, and code it just like you would for any border on a page.

If it is to be the same in both the mouse off and on state then you'd only need one class, if you want it different, then you need two classes.

You'd call it using the menu property offclass=""; onclass="";

Here's a basic css demo, the first page is an explanation then there's a link to a few examples.

Forgot about the rawcss... That's a good option if you're only doing a small amount on the menu.

I noticed that about using css, suddenly you have to specify the text-decoration and the fontstyle in the css if you are calling any kind of on or off class using css. You don't have to do anything else, it will take it from the menu_data file, but not that text-decoration or fontstyle.
