Today I'm gonna pimp up the sidebar with somce vertical tabbed menus but only the "previous posts" section. If you like you can do it with all your sidebar-links - it's just a matter of what you wish.
The best thing is - you don't need any graphics uploaded anywhere - it is all done via CSS and HTML.
Here is an example screenshot of how it should look like:
The task:
Implementing the CSS code for the sidebar.
Note: You can use the CSS code for any link-list you have - but it might look strange *yuc*.Here comes the needed CSS code:
#navcontainer {
background: #f0e7d7;
width: 30%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 1em 0;
font-family: georgia, serif;
font-size: 13px;
text-align: center;
text-transform: lowercase;
}
ul#navlist {
text-align: left;
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 70%;
}
ul#navlist li {
display: block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
ul#navlist li a {
display: block;
width: 100%;
padding: 0.5em 0 0.5em 2em;
border-width: 1px;
border-color: #ffe #aaab9c #ccc #fff;
border-style: solid;
color: #777;
text-decoration: none;
background: #f7f2ea;
}
#navcontainer>ul#navlist li a { width: auto; }
ul#navlist li#active a {
background: #f0e7d7;
color: #800000;
}
ul#navlist li a:hover, ul#navlist li#active a:hover {
color: #800000;
background: transparent;
border-color: #aaab9c #fff #fff #ccc;
}
All I have to change is in
#navcontainer the
width: 30% to
width: 100% (the sidebar already is limited in her total width so there is no need in limiting this again!).
In the HTML part I just insert the
div id="navcontainer" and replace the
ul id="recently" with the
ul id="navlist" to activate the list style.
Here comes the corrected code:
#navcontainer {
background: #f0e7d7;
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 1em 0;
font-family: georgia, serif;
font-size: 13px;
text-align: center;
text-transform: lowercase;
}
