[hal8]

Hi

Can anyone please help me out. I am trying to have my nav so its got an active state when on that page. I am using wp_list_pages for my nav. I know how to do this on a static site but not on WordPress.

Can anyone help me out on this one ?

Cheers

Ok so ive managed to do it kind of !!

But when i use wp_list_pages(‘exclude=blah, blah, blah’) it seems to add an extra div automatically call pagenav

Check out the pics. One is with <?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=menu_order&title_li=’); ?> and the other is the exclude.

Does any one know what i have done wrong ?

Here is my code

<div id="main-nav">
<ul>
<li<?php if (is_home()){echo " class="current_page_item"";}?>><a href="<?php bloginfo(‘url’) ?>" title="Home">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=menu_order&title_li=’); ?>
</ul>
</div>

and css

/* MAIN NAV */

#main-nav {
float: left;
margin-top: 5px;
z-index: 70;
border: px dashed green;
}

#main-nav ul li {
display: block inline;
}

#main-nav ul li a {
color: #FFF;
padding: 5px 10px;
}

ul#smain-nav li a:hover, #shome li.home a {
border-bottom: 5px solid #FFF;
color: #008EB1;
}

#main-nav ul li a:hover, #main-nav ul li.current_page_item a {
border-bottom: 5px solid white;
color: #008eb1;
}
