— As soon as you drop tables you find that making nicely formated and accessible forms is not that simple. There are many discussed methods to achieve this and there will always be something to argue about them. Having said that I present you here with a solution that in most of the cases works for me. I hope you find this useful.

GOALS:

There were a couple of things I had in mind when creating this form, first of all the code would have to be valid XHTML, clean semantic and well formated. This would need to have a good balance between accessibility and flexibility to make it portable and easy to style. This way you have more chances to easily copy and modify to adjust to different needs.

— This web tool will help you generate the code you need to build a navigation bar with the technique described in this article: CSS Text based navigation bar with images.

The result is a valid and accessible text based imaged navigation bar with one sprite image, XHTML and CSS. I have included a short video as well to showcase the process.

Please let me know if you have any comment. You can download the generated code in a zip file.

Hope you find it useful. Enjoy!

— Quick conditional function for WordPress to check if the current page is a sub page. It works both inside and outside the main loop, only for 2.5 and upwards.

Example

Same way as you use is_page, is_home, etc.

< ?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

	< ?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

		< ?php if ( is_subpage() ): ?>
			<p> This is a subpage </p>
		< ?php endif ?>

	< ?php endwhile; ?>
