OMG... You don't have to say more :cry:

These are the same clients that moan about "That color of red is not exactly the same red that's on my brochure". And after my lecture on differences between print and screen colors, CRT and TFT screens, monitor settings and graphic adapter settings, monitor brands, monitor aging, and room lighting, dare to say "Well, that sounds all very technical, and I guess you're right, but just try to match the red on the site as closely as possible with the brochure, okay?". Aaargghhh!

OMG  :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: in these case I just say "it is the same color code, and go bug the designer for more info :)))"

There is then only one thing to do with those customers ... sell them an expensive display AND the service to colour calibrate it :-D

cheers

PS: I had this once and I just told the customer how much something like that would be ... issue was off the table.

In this case there are two things you can do:
1) teach you customer so that he knows that he is not alone on the web
2) if he do not want to be correctet, deside:
    a) leave it or   
    b) get involved against your integrity

Only the 1 thing is the right one. If my customers are "knowbests" I do not consider to work for them.
There is no person who is always right. And thats a lesson to be learned.
This applies mostly in cases where you have more knowledge as your customers - they can't be right with this and the trick is to show them kindly - not always easy, I know, but achievable.  :wink:

Hi,

Well, i managed to do it :o)  I changed the /modules/show_menu2/include.php file by updating the following code.  Just added what I needed to the <li> and <ul> and it worked !  Where there's a will there's a way  :-D

    // replace the keywords
    function replace($aMatch) {
        switch ($aMatch) {
        case 'a':
            return '<a href="'.$this->url.'" target="'.$this->page['target'].'">';
        case 'ac':
            return '<a href="'.$this->url.'" target="'.$this->page['target'].'" class="'.$this->currClass.'">';
        case '/a':
            return '</a>';
        case 'li':
            return '<li id="pg'.$this->page['page_id'].'" class="'.$this->currClass.'">';
        case '/li':
            return '</li>';
        case 'ul':
            return '<ul id="nav" class="'.$this->currClass.'">';
        case '/ul':
            return '</ul>';
        case 'url':
            return $this->url;

Thanks
Marky
