You cannot reuse IDs within a document. Each ID must have a unique value. Have a look at http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200503/setting_the_current_menu_state_with_css/ It has a good example of what you are trying to achieve. Regards, Jachin Sheehy Senior Web Developer InternetFiji.com On

tee, your english is great. even those of us that grew up on the language abuse it with regularity. my only confusion comes from perhaps the 'persistent page indicator'. i'm not sure how this second definition is only triggered when a user visits the home page...irregardless, when the page load

Thank you everyone! The conflict solved after I change it to class. > your english is great. even those of us that grew up on the language > abuse it with regularity. Diona, I was just being lame ;) Once I get myself comfortable in this list, I probably will make no apology for my English lol. >
