current page style...? Options

[Maccabee]

I have seen on some sites, when you click on a nav link when you go the page, that link stays, highlighted or something signifying that you are still on that page. How do you do that? I thought you just used "a:active"? But im trying it out and it isnt working.

if you are using a list for links, try #(ID) a:active in your html/xhtml markup.

example:

CODE

<ul id="navigation">
  <li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Link 3</a></li>
</ul>

CODE

#navigation { color:#ff0000; }
#navigation a:active{ color:#ff00ff; }
