Standard Module Chromes/fr

Note that this example includes class additions because the examples are taken using mod_mainmenu. The suffix "_menu" to the div class and the "menu" class on the ul tag are not present with other modules.

Comparison of the Joomla! standard Module chromes These are the same from Joomla! 1.5 through 3.3

Style	Sortie	Appearance
rounded	<div class="module_menu"> <div> <div> <div> <h3>Main Menu</h3> <ul class="menu"> <li><!-- various menu items --></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div>
none	<ul class="menu"> <li><!-- various menu items --></li> </ul>
table	<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="moduletable_menu"> <tr> <th valign="top">Main Menu</th> </tr> <tr> <td> <ul class="menu"> <li><!-- various menu items --></li> </ul> </td> </tr> </table>
horz	<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="moduletable_menu"> <tr> <th valign="top">Main Menu</th> </tr> <tr> <td> <ul class="menu"> <li><!-- various menu items --></li> </ul> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table>
xhtml	<div class="moduletable_menu"> <h3>Main Menu</h3> <ul class="menu"> <li><!-- various menu items --></li> </ul> </div>
html5	<div class="well _menu"> <h3 class="page-header">Main Menu</h3> <ul class="nav menu"> <li><!-- various menu items --></li> </ul> </div>
outline	<div class="mod-preview"> <div class="mod-preview-info">left[outline]</div> <div class="mod-preview-wrapper"> <ul class="menu"> <li><!-- various menu items --></li> </ul> </div> </div>

Note that the Module chrome doesn't necessarily change the appearance all that much - this depends on the CSS used in the template. For example, the 'none' and 'horz' chromes look very similar, although the underlying HTML code is very different.

Other notes: The horiz is just the table layout, wrapped in a table, tr, and td.

The software controlling these is in the file /templates/system/html/modules.php
