I have menu as follows
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
</ul>
how to make it Active when I visit that Page. I tried as follows but no luck
#navigation a:active {
color: #000;
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#DFE7FA), to(#FFF));
border-bottom-width:0px;
}
I'm new webie thanks for any suggestions
Add id to your code as below
Update
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li id="myHome">Home</li>
</ul>
</div>
Write Script as Below
<script>
window.onload = menuSelect('myHome');
</script>
Each page has a class on the body tag that identifies it:
BODY OF HOME PAGE:
<body class="home">
<ul>
<li>Home</li> //Each navigation item also includes a class identifying that particular link.
<li>About Us</li>
</ul>
</body>
BODY OF ABOUT US PAGE:
<body class="aboutUs">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About Us</li>
</ul>
</body>
Then you target those classes in your CSS, defining a different state for the current page:
CSS STYLE:
body.home a.home, body.aboutUs a.aboutUs{
//HERE GOES YOUR CSS
color: #000;
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#DFE7FA), to(#FFF));
border-bottom-width:0px;
}
In your index.php page, you need to edit the HTML this way:
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
</ul>
In other pages, say about.php, you might have something like this:
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
</ul>
And change the CSS to .active and not :active, as the second one is a state of element:
#navigation a.active {
color: #000;
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#DFE7FA), to(#FFF));
border-bottom-width:0px;
}
The :active pseudo-selector is for when an element is well, active, for example while a link is being clicked.
What you will need to do is give your <a> element a class attribute and style it accordingly.

I want to put my menu in a separate PHP file so when I need to edit it, I only have to edit it once. The problem starts when I want to highlight the active page. Can someone help me to fix it?
<?php $currentPage = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']); ?>
Toggle navigation
<li></span> Home</li>
<li></span> About us</li>
<li class="dropdown">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></span> Services <span class="caret"></span>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li></span> Drivers services</li>
<li></span> Shop services</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li></span> On-line Application</li>
<li></span> Contact us</li>
</ul>
</div><!-- /.navbar-collapse -->
</div><!-- /.container-fluid -->
</nav>
<div class="clearfix"> </div>
</div><!-- navbar -->
I find the solution to my question adding this css in styles file:
/* The here ID identifies the current page and applies a white color to the text and a black background as a visual indicator. */
a#here {
background-color: #000 !important;
color: #fff !important;
}
Plus call the menu in each page with following code:
<div> <?php
$file ='includes/menu.php';
if (file_exists($file) && is_readable($file)) {
include($file);
} else {
throw new Exception("$file can't be found");
}
include('includes/menu.php');?>
</div>
A quick and dirty method to achieving this is in each file put the following:
<?php
include("header.php"); // Insert location of header file here
?>
and in your header.php file after creating your head block insert this
<?php $active= substr(basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']),0, -4); ?> // Page Name
<body <?php echo "class='$active'";?>> // This sets the bodies class to be the page name.
finally in style.css use the following code to set the highlighted feature
// This is an example for my CSS. Insert your own css selector
// In my css i have this which adds a small orange bar to the bottom of the navigation option. I set the opacity to 0 to not display it.
.header nav ul li a:before
{
height: 5px;
background: #ea5c18;
opacity: 0;
}
// Then i set .PageName (the bodies class name) and set that specific nav element to have an opacity of 1.
.PageName .header nav ul li:first-child a:before
{
opacity:1;
}
I am trying to add '+' Symball in front of category navigation on left side
I am using magento 1.9.x
This code i fount in category-navigation.phtml
I want to know how <?php echo $_menu ?> this comes from?
<div class="block vertical-menu">
<div class="title-block" style="margin-bottom:0px;"><h4><?php echo $this->__($title) ?></h4></div>
<div class="block-content">
<ul id="content-navigation">
<?php echo $_menu ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
My suggestion would be to do it in CSS. You can use Ionicons or something similar.
The $_menu html is generated inside the block class, rather than using a phtml file. So, you could extend that block and customize it, but this can also be achieved using CSS without having to worry about extending the block.
An example would be the following:
Example HTML
<nav id="nav">
<ol>
<li>Plus Sign</li>
<li class="active">Minus Sign</li>
</ol>
</nav>
Example CSS - This requires Ionicons
ol {
list-style: none;
}
#nav li::before {
font-family: Ionicons;
content: '\f489';
padding-right: 10px;
}
#nav li.active::before {
content: '\f209';
}
JS Fiddle - A working sample

I'm creating an custom template for wordpress, and I got problem with menu. I want to create menu in the sidebar.
I got static menu like this:
<ul class="purp_bullet">
<li><a href="#sub-1">A/a>
<ul id="sub-1">
<li>B</li>
<li>B</li>
<li>B</li>
<li>B</li>
<li>B</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#sub-2">C/a>
<ul id="sub-2>
<li>D</li>
<li>D</li>
<li>D</li>
<li>D</li>
<li>D</li>
</ul></li>
<li>E</li>
<li>F</li>
<li>G</li>
</ul>
With CSS like this:
ul.purp_bullet {
list-style-image: url('img/list_bullet.png');
padding-left: 17px;
text-decoration: none;
}
ul.purp_bullet li a {
color: #003366;
text-decoration: none;
}
ul.purp_bullet li a:hover {
color: red;
text-decoration: none;
}
ul.purp_bullet li a:active {
color: red;
text-decoration: bold;
}
I want it to be fully dynamic, just like wordpress menus, when I go into menu section in admin panel and create my own menu from pages that i created, then drag "my custom menu" onto widgets panel (sidebar) so it shows up. Note that this isn't my main menu (I already got the menu in header).
Also there is one more thing I need to do.
I got pages like employers and when I'm on some employer page the menu must be expanded( or rolled down, sorry for my bad english :x), but when i'm on other page it must be rolled up.
Screens:
When I'm on some employer page
When I'm on other pages like contact etc
Do i need create new menu in functions and then hook it like my main menu?
Can anyone help me how to do it?
I've never used the php include function but I recently read some good articles which encourage ti.
I'm going to use it mainly for menus and footers, but here's my question:
How can I attach a HTML class to a menu element.
e.g.
menu.php
<nav>
<ul>
<li>home</li>
<li>blog</li>
<li>about</li>
<li>contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
index.html
<?php include 'menu.php'; ?>
In this case how do I set a class to any of these menu elemnts without using different menu.php files?
Long story short I need it so I can apply certain styles to a single element in the list, and each html file will match the specific menu voice
E. G. index.html will have the "home" anchor styled differently than other three elements.
Thanks in advance.
As per these examples
You can make use of option #2
CSS
#nav {
width:150px;
list-style:none;
}
#nav a {
color:black;
text-decoration:none;
}
#nav a:active, #nav a:focus, #nav a:hover {
color:red;
}
#home #homenav, #about #aboutnav, #contact #contactnav {
color:red;
}
#home #homenav:hover, #about #aboutnav:hover, #contact #contactnav:hover {
color:blue; /* add :active and :focus styles here also */
}
HTML
<body id="home"> <!-- the body needs a unique id -->
<ul id="nav"> <!-- each anchor needs a unique id -->
<li>HOME</li>
<li>ABOUT</li>
<li>CONTACT</li>
</ul>
</body>
Give your elements ids and set the class in the including file.

How come the color on my #header won't apply ?
Give it a height or hide the overflow and it will. Either will work in this case.
#header{
background:#2b2b2b;
color:#fff;
width:100%;
height:200px; /* overrides float calculations */
overflow:hidden; /* clears floats */
}
http://jsfiddle.net/AlienWebguy/esTzk/1/
Give your header a height, because you dont want it be greater than a certain value anyway:
#header{
background-color:#2b2b2b;
color:#fff
width:100%;
height:20px;
}
a better solution would be to move the div with clear both inside the header.
<div id="header">
<ul id="nav">
<li>Service Provider
<ul>
<li>Vendor / Manufacturer</li>
<li>Service Type</li>
<li>Service Technician</li>
</ul>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</li>
<li>Cities & Stations
<ul>
<li>Stations</li>
<li>Station Owner</li>
</ul>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</li>
<li>Firefighter</li>
<li>PPE Management</li>
<li>Care & Maintenance</li>
<li>Logout</li>
</ul>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>
Just to add for your knowledge, it is because of the float:left in the #nav li selector. Because the elements inside the #header div are floated the #header div is set to height=0. That's why it won't display the background color before you specify a height for it or clear the float.
