OK sooooo to start thigns off im rather new to the whole XML XHTML CSS thing...actualy last night I jsut coded my first XHTML page using CSS and everything came out validated thru w3c validators....YAY me...anyways....to the point
I'm curious if it would be possible to make a side menu (rather simple text one) with the XML and CSS files being accessed thru the XHTML to display in the end users browser.... this would make changing a menu locally (XML or CSS file) effect the menu globally (XHTML in the website)..... this is a quick idea you have the XML file contain the menu items in text format and call them say <MU1 > and now in the xhtml page you refrence the XML file and the appropriate tag for the menu option u want to show up and then the CSS file formats the menu item...repeat as necessary....
So do I have the right idea is it even possible im sure there is otherways to do it but I think if i try doing it this way it will aid me in learning XML XHTML and CSS better... Im alos thinking this would lend itslef to being a very compatable menu type since it relys on SGML sub-languages....I could be completely wrong though
any thoughts welcome
here is a link of what im thinking about in XHTML format without the XML file http://www.thecasapages.com/csstest/features.html
