    <p>I've built a CSS navigation menu using a sprite, very similar to the one on <a href="http://www.apple.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Apple's website</a>. I've got it working fine, such that it changes to the right position on the image on hover and mousedown (all using CSS), but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make a button stay highlighted once it's clicked. I have a row in my sprite for the "clicked" look, but there's no CSS that I know of to handle something that's selected. I want the buttons to turn to their "clicked" version, depending on which one has been clicked. I've explored some javascript solutions, using jQuery, but I thought there might be a better way.</p> <p>The sprite I'm using is very similar to Apple's, found <a href="http://images.apple.com/global/nav/images/globalnavbg.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p> <p><strong>More Info:</strong></p> <p>So my menu currently looks like this in html:</p> <pre><code> &lt;ul id="global_nav"&gt; &lt;li id="home_nav"&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;%= Url.Action("Index", "Home") %&gt;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li id="systems_nav"&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;%= Url.Action("Index", "Home")%&gt;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li id="users_nav"&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;%= Url.Action("Index", "Home")%&gt;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li id="utilities_nav"&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;%= Url.Action("Index", "Utilities")%&gt;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li id="reference_nav"&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;%= Url.Action("Index", "Home")%&gt;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li id="metrics_nav"&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;%= Url.Action("Index", "Home")%&gt;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li id="help_nav"&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;%= Url.Action("Index", "Home")%&gt;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li id="info_nav"&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>Any my CSS is all here (sorry, it's long):</p> <pre><code>#global_nav { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png"); height: 38px; width: 979px; padding: 0; list-style-image: none; list-style-position: outside; list-style-type: none; } #global_nav li { float: left; } #global_nav a { height: 38px; display: block; } #global_nav #home_nav { width: 118px; } #global_nav #home_nav a:hover { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") 0px -37px no-repeat; } #global_nav #home_nav a:active { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") 0px -74px no-repeat; } #global_nav #systems_nav { width: 116px; } #global_nav #systems_nav a:hover { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -118px -37px no-repeat; } #global_nav #systems_nav a:active { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -118px -74px no-repeat; } #global_nav #users_nav { width: 117px; } #global_nav #users_nav a:hover { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -234px -37px no-repeat; } #global_nav #users_nav a:active { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -234px -74px no-repeat; } #global_nav #utilities_nav { width: 117px; } #global_nav #utilities_nav a:hover { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -351px -37px no-repeat; } #global_nav #utilities_nav a:active { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -351px -74px no-repeat; } #global_nav #reference_nav { width: 117px; } #global_nav #reference_nav a:hover { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -468px -37px no-repeat; } #global_nav #reference_nav a:active { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -468px -74px no-repeat; } #global_nav #metrics_nav { width: 117px; } #global_nav #metrics_nav a:hover { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -585px -37px no-repeat; } #global_nav #metrics_nav a:active { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -585px -74px no-repeat; } #global_nav #help_nav { width: 117px; } #global_nav #help_nav a:hover { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -702px -37px no-repeat; } #global_nav #help_nav a:active { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -702px -74px no-repeat; } #global_nav #info_nav { width: 163px; } #global_nav #info_nav a:hover { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -819px -37px no-repeat; } #global_nav #info_nav a:active { background: url("../Images/nav_bar.png") -819px -74px no-repeat; } </code></pre>

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.
