hi everyone,

im just in the design stage of building a website, i have done lots of html xml and java script before however i was just wondering can i encorperate a java script menu in a css style sheet? instead of having to do it in every single webpage making it easier for me to update/modify in the future.

any advice would be appreciated.

Javascript just controls what happens on the site. CSS is just for styling. So of course you can use CSS to style a javascript menu. Just use it inside a div, or use a menu class or ID to style it.

Cheers

you can't put javascript in a .CSS file. Like markhazlett said, CSS is for styling things, JS is a scripting language. don't mix the two

What you would need to do is create the JavaScript menu and then you can incorporate the CSS in the JavaScript. You can't put JavaScript in CSS, cause it won't work.

To keep from having to do the menu on every page, you can create an external JavaScript file (.js) and then link that file to every page on the website, like how CSS files are linked to a webpage. Then all you would have to do is put the function call on webpage and the name of the external file and it should work.
