If you can't use PHP or ASP etc to set the selected pages to have a different class, this bit of Javascript will do it for you. The following will add a class of "selected" on the correct a tags
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
$$('a').each(function(el) {
if(el.getAttribute('href') == location.pathname) {
el.addClass('selected');
}
});
});
If you have your navigation items in an ID called "navigation" you could use something as follows
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
$$('#navigation a').each(function(el) {
if(el.getAttribute('href') == location.pathname) {
el.addClass('selected');
}
});
});
