Just using CSS. Why sit there and waste very valuable server resources to do something server side, when it is so easily handled in client side via things like CSS? The only time things like changing colors on elements should require anything server side is when the underlying CSS doesn't have the necessary selectors to achieve the outcome.

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.

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 PS:Hope the screenshot comes out OK. I'm a Lotus notes rookie.

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. Nancy From: "Philip_Wetzel@nhd.uscourts.gov" 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).-- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]-- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
