remove border on last item?

I've tried to work with a class to define my last menu item but it's not working. I wonder if my syntax is inaccurate.

HTML: (as generated by CSSMW - I added the class to the last <li>)
<ul class="level-0" id="cssmw">
<li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="cart/index.php">Shop</a></li>
<li><a href="yblog/index.php">Eat</a></li>
<li><a href="blog/index.php">News</a></li>
<li class="last"><a href="about.php">About</a></li>
</ul>

CSS: (added to the end of menu.css)
li.last {
border:none;
}

Have I got this right?
Thanks,
Pete

You would need to define the previous parts of the structure in your css to make it work like this I think.

It might be easier to just add the style inline like this:

<li class="last" style="border:none;"><a href="about.php">About</a></li>

Hi Eric,

That didn't work out either... It might be a feature-request for a future update of CSSMW - one could just check off a box to designate an item as "last" in the series.

I'll keep fiddling with it. If anyone has an idea about this, please continue the discussion.

Thanks,
Pete

Do you have a sample page url where I can see it? It is hard to give definitive advice on how to update something on a page out of context.

Sure - check out the menu on my prototype:

If all else fails . . .

If all else fails, you may have to approach this backwards by removing the border (or border-right) property altogether from your menu.css ul#cssmw > li > a { styles.

It seems that by starting with no border at all, you can then add a border-right class to the top-level menu items in your cssmw/menu.php by adding (say):

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.borderright {
border-right-width: 1px;
border-right-style: solid;
border-right-color: #666666;
}
-->
</style>



to that (cssmw/menu.php) page - after the closing ?> php tag and before the beginning of the menu ul.

Then, still on that page, in design view, with the css box selected in the properties inspector, select each of the top-level menu items and apply the 'borderright' class from the 'Targeted Rule' select list to each one (except for your last item).

I'm sure there is a more elegant solution, but this is offered as a 'last resort'.

The border is on the A tag, so:


<li><a class="last" href="about.php">About</a></li>

or

<li><a style="border:0px;" href="about.php">About</a></li>

Another way to do this is to use a separator image inline. I think most people do it that way.

Solved

The class/style needs to be on the <A> tag, not the <LI> tag. That worked perfectly.

Thanks to all who had a look.

Would the same be the case in a MW created navigation that uses a background image as a border to the left or right?

If it was being created dynamically how would you apply a background-image: none to the last item on the list?
