custom child section style

[webmaster]

Hi, ive already posted this but with no answer, but ive thought of another way to do it but i need some help.

I am using javascript to generate a list of parent and child sections on my pages, but i want some icons to show on certain child sections, ive done this before with TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP...but as i need it on child sections thats out.

my thought was using the javascript to manually specify an ID for certain child sections. Im not a javascript expert but surely there must be a way of attaching an ID to a certain parents child href tag so for example:

ar[1].sName.pChild[5].element1.id='buy';

i know thats not right but you get the idea

Basically i need something like this.

ar[1].pChild[1].parentTag.id = "buy";

where i can specify exactly which section and sub section i want to add the id to.

I know this sort of works if i do

ar[1].pChild[1].sName = "buy";

that changes my section name but i know sName is a variable used in the section tree so i dont know whether i can use the parentTag or parentNode feautre.

You can only use what Actinic puts into Act_section_tree.js and those are fixed number of fields. Look at an Act_section_tree.js in Notepad and see what's there. You could perhaps have code like

image = 'default.jpg';
if (ar[1].pChild[1].sName.indexOf('xyz') > -1) image = 'xyzimage.jpg';
if (ar[1].pChild[1].sName.indexOf('pqr') > -1) image = 'pqrimage.jpg';

so if the Section name contains certain text (e.g. xyz or pqr, you override the image.

Hi norman, thx for the reply.

what would the variable image relate to do you mean the sImage.....would this be a section tree variable or something defined by me.

The problem is i have a class already applied to the href around the parent and child, so i need to use the id tag to apply a further style.

heres the website is question, its the menu down the left........hopefully you can get a better idea from that....if there is an alternative that could also be considered.

if there is a template that controls subsections that would also work...similar to the parent section template used by the NVQ TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP.

cheers
