I'm trying to get a template working and am having problems with sub-level menu items once they've been clicked on. The site can be seen here:

mightykicks.net/

Referring to the left sidebar menu module... If you click on a menu item with sub-menus (i.e., Registration) - everything looks fine (I have the following css controlling the appearance with the little squares at the side of the li's):

ul.menu li.current.active.deeper.parent ul li {
background: url('../images/indent1.png') no-repeat left center;
}

The problem occurs if you THEN click on one of the sub-menu items (i.e., Boston). Then all the squares disappear. I've been trying to get this to work but can't seem to get the exact right CSS identifier (I'm a little confused when it comes to these multiple-class indicators like .active.deeper.parent - !) I can see in Firebug that the reason is the class has changed from current.active.deeper.parent to just active.deeper.parent - so here's what I have tried:

ul.menu li.active.deeper.parent ul li {
background: url('../images/indent1.png') no-repeat left center;
}

But it doesn't seem to be doing anything! What am I missing?

Hi Jackie,

I just read through your code and it looks like a minor adjustment in the template file.
Let me know if this helps you.

<ul class="menu">
<li class="item-101">
<li class="item-107 active deeper parent">
<a href="/index.php/locations">Locations</a>
<ul>
<li class="item-164 [b][color=red]current[/color][/b] active deeper parent">
<a href="/index.php/locations/massachusetts">Massachusetts</a>
<ul>
<li class="item-165 current active">
<a href="/index.php/locations/massachusetts/boston">Boston</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="item-105 parent">
<li class="item-166 parent">
<li class="item-106 parent">
<li class="item-104 parent">

Warm Regards,

Tessa Mero

thanh OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 32 Thank you received: 3 Karma: 1	Hi Jackibar, Your first solution is correct. ul.menu li.active.deeper.parent ul li { background: url('/../images/indent1.png') no-repeat left center; } It can show squares however they are hided in texts. You also should change ul.menu li.current.active.deeper.parent ul li a to ul.menu li.active.deeper.parent ul li a To make align left to texts to see squares Regards, Thanh
