One approach would be to place the HTML in a helper, check $this- 
 >here to see what page you're on, and place some light logic in the  
element to set the classes according to the value of $this->here.

Adding a menu? Newbie question...

2007-03-17 Thread Stacey 

hi all,

i'm new to cakephp. i've read through most of the manual and have
completed the blog tutorial. i've got a decent feel for the basic
idea, but i'm confused about the best way to implement a menu. i'd
like to have the same menu on each page. i've coded the menu, and
could put it into the template, but i'm not sure how to set the
'current' item in the menu. any help is appreciated...thanks.

here is the html and css for a test menu i found. how can i include
this menu in my template, but dynamically set the (class="sel") for
the current item.
