Category Menu Active Link

Hi, Chassa -

Remember to put your classes in the following order or they may fail to work as expected...

a:link {color: #FF0000}
a:visited {color: #00FF00}
a:hover {color: #FF00FF}
a:active {color: #0000FF}




Also, bear in mind that the "active" style is only evident on the page on which it was "activated". Typically this is only ever apparent when you mouse-down on the link.

To make the link on the target page look "different" takes a bit of creativity!

Hi folks,

You might also want to put a style link on the page itself to make sure that there's nothing in your external style sheets that's conflicting. Like:

<style type="text/css">
a.breadcrumb:link { font-family:Verdana; color: #ffffff; font-size: 0.68em; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;}
a.breadcrumb:visited { font-family:Verdana; color: #ffffff; font-size: 0.68em; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;}
a.breadcrumb:hover { font-family:Verdana; color: #ffffff; font-size: 0.68em; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; }
a.breadcrumb:active { font-family:Verdana; color: #ffffff; font-size: 0.68em; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;}
</style>

And then calling the "breadcrumb" class in your link

Hi Folks

Thanks for your replies I'm using the category menu dynamically and want the page that it lands on to be a different bold. Not sure if the active link is going to do that. Is there any php code I can use maybe an if statement?

Thanks for this Jerry - could you expand on this please? How would that 'if' statement run?
