Yes, David you are right. I started with a template and was adapting it to my needs. I was not sure about the wrapper div and had left it for time being to see if I would need it. You have no CSS included in the CSS file for #wrapper, and you opened and closed #wrapper in the wrong order. My

Off course- it should be a:active! what a silly mistake to make. However, both #block-uc_catalog-0 a:active { and #block-uc_catalog-0 li a:active won't show the background whilst #block-uc_catalog-0 a:hover { works. On 15-7-2010 15:15, Climis, Tim wrote: -Original Message- From:

a:active will only be styled for a brief second when you click a link and must be listed AFTER a:hover in order to work. It seemed from your original post that you were looking for styling that would persist for a menu item that you had clicked on and now represented the current section. In that
