On page load, change rollover state

[mawilliams]

Hi,

I have a side navbar which changes from page to page, but they are all used on more than one page. The navbar is simply a table and using css the table cells change colour when rolled over. Is there a way of having the cell change to the down state or hover state when you enter a new page, so it's easier for the user to see which section they are in.

I'm not using a frameset, the links just open a new html document. Also the navbar is a Dreamweaver template, so I can't just change the css property on each page.

Cheers

Not sure of your exact set up, but I do a similar thing on my own site.

Basically, set each item in your menu to have a unique class, such as "menuHome", "menuAbout" that sort of thing.
Then when you load a new document in, have it set a style for the relevant class.

So when the "About me" page loads you would set a style at the top of that document such as:

.menuAbout { color:#ff0000; }

Thanks for your help on this one Foamcow.

It was a little tricky with all te Libary items and Templates I have in the site. But with your advice, I eventually got it working a treat.

Many thanks.
