Joe, Are you referring to a Dreamweaver template? If so, there is a way to set a different id on the body element on every page based on the template, using editable attributes. Email me off-list if you would like more info on this. Otherwise, setting a class of "current" or "active" on the current link is a way to go. But if you have the ability to edit the nav on a per-page basis, you might as well edit it by removing the link on the current page. You can then style the <a> element differently from the plain text, achieving the current page highlight without even needing to apply the "current" class. Zoe -- Zoe M.
