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

Just thinkin' outloud

Have you tried an "if" statement in the head that controls the stylesheet?

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?

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:

And then calling the "breadcrumb" class in your 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

Is there a way of styling a category menu breadcrumb so that when a link is active it changes colour or becomes bold? I've tried the :active in CSS but it doesn't seem to want to play.
