When you design your menu, keep in mind the following issues:
• Keep font sizes at 20 pixels or smaller. Larger sizes can result in menu text in vertical menus exceeding the menu
boundaries.
• Consider how the style attributes interact. Because each menu and submenu consists of a surrounding menu area
and individual child items, be careful when you choose background colors. For example, if you specify different
styles in the
background-color
and the surrounding menu area are a different color.
For an application that shows some of the effects of menu style attributes, see the example in the cfmenuitem tag in
the CFML Reference.
ColdFusion attributes provide most style options that you are likely to require. However, you can, if necessary, modify
the basic menu styles for all menus by editing the menu-related styles in the CSS files in the yui.css file. This file is
located by default in the web_root/CFID/scripts/ajax/resources/yui directory. For more information about these styles,
see the Yahoo! User Interface Library menu
