Hi,

Is it possible to have a link in the main menu, which is not actually a link just a heading for a drop down menu? I have a link in main menu, which does not need to be a link, but I have to create an unnecessary page for it.

www.everhealth.net, Patients does not need to have a page.

Also, when I create a menu alias as link, wen that page is visited the link for it becomes white, unreadable text. What is causing that?

thanks
Shirin

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions. Kind regards, Nick

Hi Shirin,

The same way as you would any CSS styling :)

You can fix it by adding the following code to your template's css file:

#nav li.parent span.separator, .moduletable-superfish li.parent span.separator {
    cursor: default !important;
}
#nav ul li.active span.separator, #nav ul li span.separator:hover, #nav ul li li span.separator:hover, #nav ul li.active span.separator:hover {
	color: #FFFFFF !important;
}

I would highly recommend that you take our CSS class to learn how to do these sort of changes. Here's a direct link to it:

Another invaluable tool is Firebug:

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
