I have a left hand menu system and I would like to highlight in yellow the page a user is currently on. It seems to me a CSS class must be added to the link of the current page. I will need to compare the current page being processed in the XSLT or Velocity script with the link in the menu system to know when to add the custom css class. How would you recommend accomplishing this?. I have attached a picture to illustrate.

    Hi,

    This is typically accomplished by looking to see if the folder (or page) has the current attribute assigned to it. If so, you can apply a specific class to your markup (i.e. <a> or <li> tag). The check for the current attribute is as simple as checking for the existence of @current:

    <xsl:template select="system-folder">
      <li><a href="${path/index}">
        <xsl:if test="@current">
          <xsl:attribute name="class">active</xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>
        ... process children ...
      </a></li>
    </xsl:template>
    

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!
