    copied!<p>This is my first post so forgive as I am just new in the world of web development.</p> <p>Normally, when I try to make a website, I create a file called header.html and footer.html so that I only change data once in all of the pages rather than having multiple same headers on many html files. And include them all in a php file together with the content and the php codes that comes per page.</p> <p>Now my problem is because I only have 1 header, the css is designed in a way that whatever the current menu/tab is, it will be marked as "selected" so that its obvious to the user what page they are currently in. </p> <p>My question is how do I solve this problem:</p> <p>1.) To have the <code>class="selected"</code> depending on what the current page/url is.</p> <pre><code>&lt;!--Menu Starts--&gt; &lt;div class="menu"&gt; &lt;div id="smoothmenu" class="ddsmoothmenu"&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="index.php" class="selected"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="about.php"&gt;About&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="services.php"&gt;Services&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="features.php"&gt;Features&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Support&lt;/a&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="support1.php"&gt;Support 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="support2.php"&gt;Support 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- Menu Ends--!&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thank You :)</p>
