Hi, I am trying to figure out how to make the current menu item on my menu for that current page be a different color so the user knows what page they are on. I have looked through the forum and the suggestions are not working. Please help!

The url is http://test.endlesspools.com/about/about_service.html Only the About the company links work really right now.

Here is my code:

fixMozillaZIndex=true; //Fixes Z-Index problem with Mozilla browsers but causes odd scrolling problem, toggle to see if it helps
_menuCloseDelay=600;
_menuOpenDelay=175;
_subOffsetTop=2;
_subOffsetLeft=0;
ignoreCollisions=true;

You haven't set up your site correctly for placing the menu in a table. See http://www.milonic.com/tablemenu.php for how to do it.

The menu is generated from an include file. This is how I was told to do it last time I posted on here. I am not sure how to change it?

Hi,

I think John is talking about the position of these calls


which are supposed to be the first thing after the body tag. That has nothing to do with calling them as includes, I don't think. However, if you're not having problem, then I guess it's OK. We just want to make sure you understand the methods posted on how to put them in a table, of which there are two. Here's an example of how to do it showing both methods just so you have the info.

http://support.milonic.com/beginners/ta ... /index.htm

Now, as to the setting the 'you are here color' That is the page codes, i.e. pagebgcolor, pagecolor, pageimage etc. You have them set to be the same color as the offbgcolor, bordercolor, headerbgcolor. They are all the same so, of course, it won't change when you are on a particular page.
