Flagging the first item in a section list???

Hi all, I have a poser for the fine minds of Txp support forum…

Is it possible to add an ID of “first” to the first list item of an unordered list generated by txp:section_list?

Thanks…

Tom

If you need the ID for the formatting with CSS, then you don’t need it. li:first-child { … } helps.

@GugUser that’s exactly what I am trying to do and it works a treat everywhere but ie6, I was just looking for a quick solution to debug that (eh-hem!) Browser.

The plugin cbs_navigation_menu effectively produces a section list which can have ids assigned to each list item. It’s best used when the list of sections is rather static in nature.

Has the website user with IE6? If so, then let JavaScript, for example jQuery, set a class.

In this case, you can make a form with the static nav.

In the other case, for the first section exist <txp:if_first_section>.

Thanks for you replies, I’ve had to go with a static nav this time (just to get the job done!) but I would be interested to know how this could be achieved with <txp:if_first_section> for future reference as there isn’t an example for this tag in textbook.

I’d like to steer clear of unnecessary javascript if at all possible.

Done.

if_first_section. My memory, darn it. I’ve deleted my post above.
