Hi Friends,

How do I apply class="current" to menu items?

I know how to do it in static form.

How would it be applied to a menu item in a dynamic fashion.

so that the menu item, when clicked, gets class="current" applied to the

below code

HTML

<li id="liFamily" class="current"><a href="">By Family</a></li>
<li id="liIndividual"><a href="#">By Individual</a></li>
<li id="liSeating" ><a href="#">By Seating</a></li>

Here i apply statically, i want to do that dynamically

You can use a asp:ListView to bind to a datasource. In the itemtemplate you can add a the class attribute when the current item is selected.

by server side
you should add "runat=server" attribute with li

ASP.NET

<ul><li id="liFamily" runat="server" class="current"><a href="">By Family</a></li></ul>

Now you can access this on Server Side

if you want to do it on client side
you should use javascript function at the last of the page
and you should khow about current menu then you can add attribute..
make function as globla; and call function on each page at the last
with current menu.

JavaScript

function setmnu(mnuid)
{
   var mnu=document.getElementById(mnuid);
   mnu.className="current";
}
setmnu('liFamily');

ok
