Navigation in ASP and PHP
Thanks to the supporting functions included in Consolo, it is very easy to generate navigation in ASP and PHP. The functions return lists, formatted with <ul> and <li>. With a few simple parameters, you decide how much of the page structure should be returned. In the following sections, read about how to call these functions:
To set the style and functionality of the navigation, preferably use an included style sheet. Of course, you are free to design the navigation in any way you want, but here are some examples to help you out.
The examples are set up as file archives, one for ASP and one for PHP. The archives contain CSS and script files as well as graphics. Download and decompress the archives. You can then use them as they are, or modify them.
Some search paths in the files contain the code word %subfolder%. If the web site is installed in a subfolder on the server, replace this value. If the web site is installed at the root level, remove %subfolder%.
