Hi Group,
I have a Menu and Sub-menus in my asp.net application. The main page is in html.

When a user clicks a Main Menu item, I select the first sub-menu item as the default, which loads the relevant page into an iframe. This works. However, there is no way to see which menu item is selected. Is there anyway I can highlight the defaulted menu item - it is an href tag?

Kind Regards

it's an anchor tag <a> with href as an attribute (ie <a href="">

try something like:

Code: 
<a href="#" onmouseover="this.style.background='#FF0000';"<link</a>

Hi
I tried this and get an error on line 1 which is my documnet definition:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

Here is how I've coded the highlight
menu2='<a href="SuspControl.aspx" onmouseover="this.style.BGCOLOR='#FF0000';" target="content">Signs</a> '

Regards

sorry it should be:

onmouseover="this.style.background = '#FF0000';"

It's Ok. I've used a style sheet and it works quite nicely!!

Hi Clive,
I don't see the a:focus option.

I'm using VS.NET

ahh, it was probably the ' " ' ' " ' that was throwing it off which would be why calling a class would work...
