R.E. Peters Company Website

Rick Peters of R.E. Peters company posed a challenge to me for an element on his new website we were designing. He wanted a drop-down menu that changed background colors for each menu item to correspond with the background color of each page it linked to.

I have used the script written by Angus at Twin Helix for the drop-down menus in the past and knew this was probably my best option for customization. However, with little experience in actually fully customizing this script - I was a little apprehensive. But, I love a challenge!

Basically, I removed all the style effects for the background colors in Angus' code, and applied a class to each
<li>
to achieve the effect.


I'm attaching the style.css and listmenu_h.css for your review - this isn't the complete code you need in order to use the twinhelix menu - make sure you download it from www.twinhelix.com.

I hope this post helps all you "new to coding" people!
