Thanks for the pointer churchthemer, I saw the writing -mode alright but since it’s only available with IE it’s not a viable solution for me.

What I might have to to is make different images for each letter and put them together on the fly. Yuck…

what are you using to generate your menu?

With a few of them the create lists including the open and closing list tags. But they generally have the option to exclude this open tag, which means you could open the list yourself and set the first item yourself, directing it to any link you’d like ??

This is what i did to resove this issue I stopped usint the wp_list_pages and used the plugin wp_pages_nav:

<?php /* wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li=0&sort_column=menu_order'); */?>
				<?php if(function_exists("wp_pages_nav")) {
					if(is_page() ) {
						wp_pages_nav("show_all_parents=1&sort_column=menu_order");
					}
					else
					{
						wp_pages_nav("show_all_parents=1&sort_column=menu_order&current=24");
					}
				} ?>

Seems to work fine.

what theme are you using? it looks like they may be hard coded into the theme. Maybe in the header.php file….

It’s not all that bad. The smile images have a class=’wp-smiley’ so you could set your boarder in your css to be white and then override that for the img.wp-smiley class.

I think that would do it.

Thanks for the suggestoin MichaelH but I don’t think that will do exactly what I’m looking for. Let me rephrase the question slightly:

Is it posible to set up links based on the already know page name?

So if I have a page that I know to be called “blog” but I don’t know the page_id is there a way to call it?

Something like:
<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/?page_id=5'
But instead of page_id I would like to have page_name or page_title or something like that…..

Thanks again

I had this same problem, and for me the issue was that some of the divs weren’t been closed in the correct order or being used within ‘li’ which firefox handles but IE doesn’t. What I did was took the source of the generated page and had it validated in homesite (I’m sure there are other free tools about that will do this for you
Hope this helps
