How to make the current section highlighted in the main menu?

Hello,

I am so close to having my new XOOPS page the way I want it I can taste it. There is only one thing left that I want to do. THat is to get a main menu entry to be distinquishable form the others depending on what page your on.

For example,

Say you click on the "Downloads" link in the main menu. On the Downloads page I would like the "Downloads" link to be a different color than the default so that the user knows what page they are on just by looking at the main menu. The same thing should happen depending on what page your on.

So my question is this, to do what I want to do, do I need to hax Xoops, each module that has an entry in the main menu , the theme I am using ( 7dana-jane ) or any combination of those?

i wonder if something like this may work? try adding it to your style.css

#mainmenu a:active {
color: #0000FF;
}

a:active MUST come after a:hover in the CSS definition in order to be effective!!

Well I found three style.css files in my htdocs directory. I added that code your gave me to the very end of each of them and still no luck

I knew I would get almost everything done that I wanted to do and I would get stuck on the very last thing on my list.

I will continue to try to edit the CSS for XOOPS and see if I can get this to work.

But if somebody knows how to do this please speak up and make me a very happy man.

It should work, I guess it just has to be placed correctly.

http://www.echoecho.com/csslinks.htm might give you more information.

Here is a link to the style.css file I just put on a FTP. Maybe you guys can look at it and tell me what I am doing wrong.

ftp://anonymous@207.195.39.227/pub/CSI2/style.css

Thanks again for the help. You guys kick arse.
