[support] Using <front> for Path in a menu link

[Philip_Wetzel at nhd.uscourts.gov]

Hmmm,  turns out it was a mistake I had made in the css a while back.
Working fine now.  I was kinda looking forward to use it to learn how to
use rules.
You were talking about creating a rule using the rules module, right?
Or did you just mean adding stuff to the CSS?

Have a great weekend everyone,
Phil

If you do the rules right, you won't loose the mouseover. Say you're
selecting based on the a element having the active class:

a.active { // This will become your active color. Set it to the same as the
regular color a color if you don't want a different color.
color:

}

a.active:hover { // Your hover color. To keep it the same as hover, set it
to what the other hovers are.
  color:
}

You've also got the :active selector the browser uses, as well as :visited.
Those colors depend upon the browser, unless specified in the stylesheet,
which is why it's a good idea to reset them in your theme.

      Hmm, I'm not giving up on the idea of creating a rule just yet.    I
      created a rule to throw up a warning on
      page init (something like that).    So, I have the "when" to do it
      figured
      out.  You can see that the "Court Info"
      "a" tag has the "active" class assigned to it.    Looks like I just
      need to
      get rid of the class assignment
      (make it class="").   so it looks like the Jury-info <a href one
      below it.

      I can make the active color same as the non-active color, but then I
      would
      loose the mouse over
      color change.     I know my client would not like that at the least.

      Nancy, by menu block you mean what I'm showing under "filing without
      an
      Attorney"?
      Thanks all!
      Phil

      This is a long-running issue in Drupal, with no perfect solution.
      Using
      <front> may work for you, but I doubt it. There are some modules that
      address this (I'll leave the search to you). What I did in the past
      was to
      put a small text on a page that says "Here's what you can find in
      this
      section" and then include a menu block for the sub-menu of the main
      item.

       My client wants to have no landing page if the user clicks on any of
      the
       top level menu links. Specifying <front> for the path works
      perfectly,
       except the color of the
       menu becomes the "selected" color (same as mouse over).--
