hi there. I am wondering if i can control the space i can use with the menu separator?

THings are like these.. I am making a menu that has a english lenguage button. but i need it to be apart, or distanced from the main menu, but on the same line. Rigth now, i am adding a menu “separator” menu, leaving it blank on title so it just create a space. But i need to add even more space.. cause it has to be on the rigth side of the screen..

The idea, more or less goes like these:

…<… home / About.. / Store / School / Gallery / Contact / …………………….. / Spanish ..>
…………………………………………………………………………………………..separator………….

i wonder if i can add some code to the css that affect the space the separator is giving me. Since I am not sure, i wish to know if someone could help me. :confused:

Oh, and yeah, i need it to be a completly dead space.. so no hover action on it.. just pure black thing.. the background of the menu is black.. I Just need the space in between..

Thanks

Sure, it is possible but to really help and let you know what to change we really need to see a link to your site. At the very lease a sample screenshot and details of what template you are using. Otherwise we a just poking around in the dark.

These a closed snap shot of the menu mostly.. i marked the place where needs to have more space..

The way i am gonna work the second lenguaje is by linking the menu button “english” using a external link type of menu. Rigth now i am trying to configure these one correctly, then i am going to make the second lenguaje. I am using JA Beryl as template. But it doesnt look so much like that one anymore.. havent chage anything tha tmuch on the code.

In that blue circle is where the space needs to be added. need 150px, or more.. that depends on the bosses later.

Again, it is hard to help without a link but you could use the menu id of the layouts item and add a margin to that.

For example

#menu53 {
margin-right: 100px;
}

But use the menu ID of your menu which I doubt will be 53.

Ok.. so, if u check on it.. then u can see the whole menu thing.. rigth after english, is the place with u put the separator.. and i already wrote the doce on the .css.. didnt do a thing.. i already checked that the rigth on the .css on are all open.. but still, is not doing a thing. .. well, if that would have work, it will still ligth up if u hover over the dead space.

thanks, phill luckhurst.

ur code was correct. i found that even due i went to the cpanel i take off the protection of write the .css file, every time i try to change it on joomla it automatically swithed back to be written protected.. that why i t was not working before… Also i took out the separator, thanks to ur data, it was not necesary any more. 😀
