Oh, okay. I misunderstood. (And was a little bit mean.)

It’s possible to do the ‘drop-down’ entirely in CSS.

There’s a pretty good walkthrough here, on the code:

For the wordpress call to child pages, take a look at:

It’s what I’m using on our site (though, not in the exact manner you are).

Christian, you may want to look into hiring a new “programmer.”

The site in question is using very simple CSS conditional image replacement.

If you look at the site’s CSS file, you’ll see that the a (link) elements with the class of glink do not have a separate background image so long as the mouse isn’t hovering over them. When the pointer is over them (called through the :hover element), the background changes to <a href="https://zfoneproject.com/glblnav_selected.gif">glblnav_selected.gif</a>.

I’ve had no problems with it on either 2.6 or 2.6.1. It’s worked as advertised for me.

I’ll second the Maintenance Mode recommendation. I’ve run it on my 2.6.1 installation without any problems.

It respects role-manager settings (so that you can control who sees the maintenance page, and who can get into the site) and the maintenance page is relatively easy to customize.

The only snag is the need to disable it before upgrading the wordpress version.

Anything that’s not between <?php and ?> is not PHP code, it’s (X)HTML.

The id and class attributes in the HTML are calls to the CSS stylesheets. They’re completely arbitrary, so long as the names match those on the stylesheet. You could rename every instance of #annoucementcontent to #joe-bob and every instance of #annoucement to #angelina-jolie and it wouldn’t affect the Loop, at all.

It’ either:

• the height of logo.gif,
• the CSS height attribute of:

• .logo
• #search
• #header

• the CSS margin and/or padding attributes of:

• .logo
• `#search

Actually, inline-javascript is my friend, as I really didn’t want to disable all smart quotes, just the ones entered in the HTML editor pane (which is a little misleading, if it isn’t truly a hands-on code view).

The problem with using the “Reading” panel is that it ignores the is_home() function.

Whatever page is set to be the “Posts” page remains the home, as far as the loop is concerned, making any calls to that function broken.

Using a home.php template respects the is_home(), but breaks the posts page.

Edit:
Nevermind, I just discovered the is_front_page() function, introduced in 2.5.1 (I hadn’t used WP since 2.1 was intro’d).

I was wondering the same thing…?

(tap) Is this thing on…? (tap)(tap)(tap)

I’m looking for a solution to the same need. Did you have any luck?
