Hi Heitor,

This would work for the primary nav in Drupal 5, but other menus that  
output .leaf couldn't be selected without altering the html using php.

Primary Nav:
<li class="menu-1-2-2"><a href="/example" class="menu-1-2-2">example</ 
a></li>
<li class="menu-1-3-2"><a href="/example2"  
class="menu-1-3-2">example2</a></li>

Other:
<li class="leaf"><a href="/" class="active">example</a></li>
<li class="leaf"><a href="/">example</a></li>

A unique class or ID is needed.

The technique you refer to is useful, and I've used it before. It can  
be used to permanently highlight which section you are within on a  
site (on the primary nav), and combining this with styling the  
active .leaf (or child a) will allow you to highlight the  
subnavigation, also.
