The problem isn't a CSS issue. The class "active-trail" is being added to an item that isn't part of the active trail. PHP is doing this, not CSS. <br><br>This is somewhat speculative, but I would guess there is some stale information in the menu_links database table, which wouldn't be affected by deleting aliases. In addition to deleting all the aliases, you might delete all the menu items in Primary Links, clear the cache, and recreate the items in the Primary Links menu again.<br>

I tried your suggestion(<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse;">Carl Wiedemann <<a href="mailto:carl.wiedemann@gmail.com" style="color: rgb(17, 65, 112);" target="_blank">carl.wiedemann@gmail.com</a>>)</span> and have a very interesting update to the issue.<div>
<br></div><div>I deleted all of the aliases through the Drupal interface at Site building > User aliases > Delete all aliases. One at a time I started the rebuilding process, I have Automatic alias in the URL Path settings section of Edit unchecked, so I was able to create the aliases I wanted for each page.<div>
<br></div><div>The same problem is occurring with one interesting twist. First of all, when selecting the Home tab on the Primary menu - you are directed to the Home (node/33) page but the Criminal/Traffic <node/81) page is highlighted. When I select a section below the Home page, no tabs are highlighted.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So in one way I am back at square one.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there something missing in this section of css that controls this functionality? The two sections with #primary-menu ul.menu li.active- are the ones that shut off the functionality of highlighting completely.</div>
