    <p><em>Edited to include HTML as requested - I have removed the full urls as there is no point posting them anyway as they are on a protected staging server</em></p> <p>I am trying to amend a friend's website which has been built so that there is a sub menu which appears on every page but is coded only once. </p> <p>I want to be able to add a highlight to the link for the page you are currently viewing, but I have to do this all in one html snippet - so the code below preceeds the html list which is used for navigation.</p> <p>The list renders fine, except that I can't get the current page to highlight (the 'active' tag only highlighting as you click the page).</p> <p>I have read some other posts about adding 'current link' formatting in a separate file but, unfortunately, I have to include all the code in this snippet.</p> <p>Given that, is what I am trying to achieve possible?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>CSS:</p> <pre><code>&lt;style&gt; #navigation { color: #ffffff; font-family: Sans-Serif; height: 34px; list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; } #navigation li a { color: #000000; display: block; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; padding: 10px 18px; text-decoration: none; } #navigation li a:hover { background-color: #b36521; color: #ffffff; } #navigation li a:active { background: #f1d74c; color: #ffffff; } &lt;/style&gt; </code></pre> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="submenu"&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Menu&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;ul id="navigation"&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://URL/SOAP-BARS"&gt;Soap bars&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://URL/LIQUID-SOAP"&gt;Liquid soap&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://URL/BATH-BODY"&gt;Bath and body&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://URL/SKINCARE"&gt;Skincare&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://URL/4573204014/CANDLES"&gt;Candles&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://URL/GIFTS"&gt;Gifts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://URL/FAVOURS"&gt;Favours&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://URL/BROWSE-BY-SCENT"&gt;Browse by scent&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre>

    2. COThis is what `:active` does. If you want to highlight the "current" menu entry, you have to make it discernible to CSS by making it special in the HTML code - for example by adding a class "active" or "current".

    3. COLiam - I saw this but it seems to just talk about the active tag, which isn't what I am looking for. Or using a solution which requires me to have a file outside the html snippet, which isn't possible here. But if I am missing something, let me know!

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
