[Pro] Controlling the font of a CSS menu

I have a web site and I used the CSS menu action on the navbar. I am unable to change the font at all, it always stays Verdana. Tried changing the font when the text is in list mode. Where is the setting?

Can you post a link to the page? This preference may be set further up the page hierarchy. We will be able to tell in a browser where the style is actually coming from.

By the way, you should apply as little style to the text inside the CSS menu as you can possibly get away with. Especially color and link style – those should always be set at the Action palette level, while the HTML box containing the menu is selected (handles showing at the corners).

The menu items have the style .verdana15 applied to them. See where that style is defined, and change it. Absolutely don’t try to edit each item using the Inspector – that’s where this style likely got applied initially.

The best way to define the font for a CSS Menu element is to highlight all of the text, and click on the [No Style] option at the very top of the Styles palette. Then, click once on the CSS Menu element (so its corner handles appear) and set the Link styles (Inspector, second tab from left, Links segment) using the Extra… option (so you get the whole kit of styling options).

Working like this (at one remove from the links themselves) will make the output HTML and CSS MUCH simpler and easier for the browser to work with. Everything inside your CSS Menu should be a link, so this is a one-stop way to set up these styles. Remember to do the very least thing that will work – setting the size here will make it harder for the Action to override later, so just set the things that the Action doesn’t let you do.

Got it working! I had to rebuild it but the font is now in control. Thanks.
