    <p>I spent hours looking for a CSS only then jQuery solution for this. I've seen this everywhere but not sure how to do one from the scratch. </p> <p>What I want to do is, I have a menu as a list, and another list in it, and another. So this is a three level horizontal menu. </p> <p>What I want to do is, when a child is selected, I want to change the background colour of the parent <code>li a</code> so it looks like breadcrumbs if you know what i mean. </p> <p>This is my current css</p> <pre><code>.menu { z-index: 9999; position:relative; background-image: url(images/top_nav_lili_repeat.png); background-repeat: repeat-x; height:38px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; text-transform:uppercase; } .menu ul ul { display: none; } .menu ul li:hover &gt; ul { display: block; } .menu ul { color: #797979; padding: 0 0px; list-style: none; position: relative; display: inline-table; } .menu ul:after { content: ""; clear: both; display: block; } .menu ul li { float: left; } .menu ul li:hover { background: #4b545f; } .menu ul li:hover a { color: #EBAD2D; } .menu li a.seleted ul li a{ background-color:#ff0000;} .menu ul li a { display: block; padding: 11px 16px; color: #bbb; text-decoration: none; } .menu ul li a.selected { background-color:#ff0000;} .menu ul ul { background: #5f6975; border-radius: 0px; padding: 0; position: absolute; top: 100%; width: 200px; } .menu ul ul li { float: none; border-top: 1px solid #6b727c; border-bottom: 1px solid #575f6a; position: relative; } .menu ul ul li a { padding: 10px 16px; color: #fff; } .menu ul ul li a:hover { background: #4b545f; } .menu ul ul ul { position: absolute; left: 100%; top: 0; } </code></pre> <p>and my current HTML menu looks like this.</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="menu"&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" title="Menu Item 1"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" title="Sub-Menu Item 1"&gt;Home link 1&lt;/a&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" title="Sub-Sub-Menu Item 1"&gt;Home Link 1 Link 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" title="Sub-Sub-Menu Item 2"&gt;Home Link 1 Link 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" title="Sub-Sub-Menu Item 3"&gt;Home Link 1 Link 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" title="Sub-Menu Item 2"&gt;About&lt;/a&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" title="Sub-Sub-Menu Item 1"&gt;About 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" title="Sub-Sub-Menu Item 2"&gt;About 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" title="Sub-Sub-Menu Item 3"&gt;About 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" title="Sub-Menu Item 3"&gt;Contact&lt;/a&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" title="Sub-Sub-Menu Item 1"&gt;Contact 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" title="Sub-Sub-Menu Item 2"&gt;Contact 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="selected" href="#" title="Sub-Sub-Menu Item 3"&gt;Contact 3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>If you look at the last <code>li a</code> <code>Contact 3</code> I have a class attached to it as <code>selected</code>, my CMS will add this class to the selected element. So What I want to do is change the background colour of the parent <code>&lt;a&gt;Contact&lt;/a&gt;</code> and the <code>&lt;a&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;</code> with css or Jquery and I want this to crossbrowser compatible too. Thanks heaps guys.</p> <p>Heres a fiddle : <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/8s3Bc/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/8s3Bc/</a></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
