Is there a way of editing the active page tag in CSS so that the active page is highlighted in green.

Many thanks in advance

I'm not sure if I understand what you are asking for, but if I do, then this might help. You can apply the concept to any css style sheet or in any editor that you'd like. It doesn't rely on Dreamweaver or on Library items

Good luch

Do you mean so that the currently selected menu item shows in green? Or something else?

yes I mean that the currently selected page shows in green. So people have an indication where they are...Sorry I wasn't very clear!

Ok, and the category name is always in the url as theCategory=... is that right? Can you past the few lines of code that displays the category name? Or attach indexpages.php to this post so I can see it?

Thanks, It looks like it might be in secondarynav.php. Do you want to just send me FTP to dave@interactivetools.com and I can update it for you? (Email, don't post FTP details in forum). That way I can easily get to any other files I need. I'll post back what I changed here.

Let me know if that works for you.

I've responded by email but here's how I did. It's a little hard because this site is a bit more complicated with it's structure but here they are:

You can see the green highlighting on the secondary menu for this page:
http://www.straloch.com/newsite/secondary.php?8&theCategory=Straloch+Estate

I edited secondarynav.php, added this code to get the current record number:
$num = getNumberFromEndOfUrl();

And this code to display the class in the foreach loop
<?php if ($num == $record['num']): ?>greenbuttons<?php endif; ?>

For headernav.php I added this code:
<?php if (@$_GET['theCategory'] == $pagesRecord['title']): ?>greenbuttons<?php endif; ?>

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,

I have a problem which I am not able to solve with the [font "Times New Roman"]$num
condition.[font "Times New Roman"]

<?php if ($num == $record['num']): ?>greenbuttons<?php endif; ?>

The value of $record['num']): is ever modified.
It always preserves the value of the first recording in the table.


But, my approach is perhaps not the good one...
I want to obtain the entries of the table to build a menu and to identify the recording to emphasize it with a style.

You have an idea ?

Thanks,

Djulia
