I have one question which is very important. I have that xml file and what happened when some menu button doesn’t have a submenu? Something like that;):

  • Link 1
  • Link 2
    • Link A
    • Link B
  • Link 3
    • Link C
      etc. and I want that - when I am pressing on Link 1 something will happen - now is problem because url’s works only in submenus ;/ when I’m clicking on for example on Link 1 nothing happened;/ I have tried simple to paste into xml file something like that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<myMenu>
<menu title = "O firmie" **theurl = "index.php?action=aboutfirm&underaction=showaboutfirm"**></menu>
<menu title = "Ch&#322;odnictwo">
<menu Subtitle = "ch&#322;odnictwo1" theurl = "index.php?action=cooling&underaction=showcooling&id=1" /> 
</menu>
<menu title = "Gastronomia">
<menu Subtitle = "gastronomia1" theurl = "index.php?action=gastronomy&underaction=showgastronomy&id=1" />
</menu>
<menu title = "Meble">
<menu Subtitle = "meble1" theurl = "index.php?action=furniture&underaction=showfurniture&id=1" />
</menu>
<menu title = "Realizacje" theurl = "index.php?action=accomplishment&underaction=showaccomplishment" ></menu>
<menu title = "Promocje" theurl = "index.php?action=promotion&underaction=showpromotion" ></menu>
<menu title = "Kontakt" theurl = "index.php?action=contact&underaction=showcontact" ></menu>
</myMenu>

but as You see… it doesn’t work fine - it doesn’t work at all :stuck_out_tongue:
And one more question - how to make text ( which I am importing from xml file ) alligned to the right? default it is probably alligned to left.
sorry for this stupid question but it is really important for me:)
