Hi! I use menu builder in CCS4 but with no styles and remove adx javascript. This way I get bare bones unordered list menu that I can style as I wish and it suits me quite fine.
Question is, how can one know which menu item is active? I can see no flag in HTML or class that would mark clicked item.
Why can't we add custom Labels to menu? This way one could simply check for some parameter in url, compare to menu parameter and set menu item active if there is a match...
Or I completely miss something...

Update:
on line 254 of Classes.php there is function "DrawMenuItem". If you comment lines 258, 260 and 261 you will notice taht all <li> got class selected. Obviously if statement fails to identify active item...

You can know which is active using css and javascript. I don't use the menu builder. css sets the style to the active menu as applying #your-element a:active {custom color}; to do that, javascript check the current url and the url to which your link is pointing.
I recommend to use some ccs WITH styles and change them to suit your needs by changing colors, background images, and more....

How do you build menu than? Custom function?
Could you send the javascript?

Sincerely, I don't use the CCS menus, I don't like, instead I build my own using css (cascade style sheets).
Follow my second comment: build one with styles and change the colors. Also you can use whatever ccs menu and use styles in the top of your page to set the properties with some code liks
<style type='text/css'>
#my-menu-container ul li a:hover {/* style when mouse over*/}
#my-menu-container ul li a:active {/* style when you're located in this page*/}
#my-menu-container ul li a:visited {/* style....*/}
</style>

Seem we didn't understand each other.
How do you generate HTML for the menu?
Applying styles is no problem.
Also what javascript you use to decide which menuitem is active?

I only use cascade styles sheets (css), coded by hand, using lists <ul> <li>....
