Active State

[oToom]

Sorry, i didn't know where about to post this.

But my question is, on some templates there is an active state (on the link).

Example:

Code:

<li><a href="index.html" class="active">Home</a></li>

But. because we use get_navigation() and it does it all for us.
Is there a way to get that active state, onto the active page?

If not, any way you think you could implement it?

Cheers

not quiet sure I understand what you need here.
Current page is always the active one.

For the main GS site, this is what I use for my CSS to get active states. The key here is that GS always puts the class current on the "active" link's LI element.

Code:

#bodycontent .sidebar ul.nav {list-style:none;margin:0 0 30px 0;width:250px;}

#bodycontent .sidebar ul.nav li {margin:0 0 3px 0;}

#bodycontent .sidebar ul.nav li a {display:block;padding:10px 15px;}

#bodycontent .sidebar ul.nav li a:link, #bodycontent .sidebar ul.nav li a:visited {
background:#436467;
color:#DBE2E3;
}

#bodycontent .sidebar ul.nav li a:hover, #bodycontent .sidebar ul.nav li.current a {
background:#111;
color:#fff;
}

Okay, Chris i just got around to this again as i'm coding my new layout for my portfolio.
Just a quick question, is there any special html?

Are you making any classes in the a href? Is it class="current"?

Tbh i don't get this . Any explination please.

GS adds the class current to the page that is open.
You just need to style the .current condition in your css file and your good to go.
