I''m currently using CSS to style my navigational menu. I also have
jquery at my disposal. The basic structure is like this:
<div id="nav">
<div class="inner-container">
<div id="wrap">
<div class="inner">
<h2>
<span class="h-ico
ico-active"><span>Active Menu Item</span></span>
</h2>
<ul>
<li><a class="h-ico ico-users"
href="/contacts"><span>Menu
Item</span></a></li>
<li><a class="h-ico ico-othermenuitem"
href="/tasks"><span>Menu
Item</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div><!-- #wrap -->
</div><!-- .inner-container -->
</div><!-- #nav -->
My question: What would be the best way to call the current page, and
using some kind of conditional statement to say (in theory):
"If the current page is this, then put it in the H2 heading and exclude
it from the unordered list."
Thanks in advance for any help at all.

Navigation menus are least confusing when they''re consistent.

I basically did: <% if current_page?( :controller => ''example'' ) ...HTML goes here... <% end %> For the H2 "active" area, and then left the UL list with all menu options like you suggested. Thanks as always, Marnen. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
