The reason the "li.active" method is so widely used is that is works
for CMSes and other "dynamic" applications where the contents of the
menu changes. The technique you describe uses hard-coded menu items
which I very rarely find to be sufficient for the applications I work
on.

Nurvzy,
Yes! This is the first time I've written anything and then been able
to link to it. I don't like the idea of using your server to process
this, I think it's a task much better suited to CSS I wrote about it

If I understand this right, you are looking to set an "active" tab,
based on the view you are currently in...
It can be done easily from the view itself, i.e. in view_one.ctp:
$this->set('tabOne', true); (which is now going to be available in
your layout).
Therefore, in the layout you could do:
A That's mighty clever too Martin, thanks for sharing. I have a
static menu but I like the idea of not having to pass anything to the
view and the layout figuring out where it is on its own. My problem
is I'm using the same pages controller to display 3 of my 6 tabs with
static content, so t
One technique I have used where I want it to be as automatic as
possible (but possibly not compatible with any routing scenario) is

Thank you Miles!

Hi All,
I'm new to cakephp and working through my first cake app. I'm
chugging along and am now stumped as to where to put a function I've
written to help decide if a navigation tab should have the
id="selected" assigned to the anchor tag.
Basically the gist is I have a Navigation bar with v
