Re: [WSG] Persistent page indicator (page id) when you have two lists of navigation

[Andreas Boehmer]

The id is a unique identifier. You cannot have more than one elements
with the same id on a page. So in your example, you have got two
different elements with the id=studenthome. Instead, you should use
class=studenthome.

See if that helps.

 Hi
 
 I am trying to set up a page indicator in the sidebar navigation of this
 template using descendant selectors to indicate the current page but it
 doesn't seem to work if I use the following syntax.
 
 I have given each page a body id and each list item in DIV sidebar an
id as
 well but it breaks when I use the following:  I will be creating different
 templates for the two areas Staff and Students so am not concerned about
 that list.
 
 body#studenthome li#studenthome a, body#studentsaccess  li#access a{
   border-right: 12px solid #000;
   {
 
 Work in progress here:

 Another question - I would prefer to put the banner graphic into the
DIV as
 a background but I need to hot link it to the CDU home page.  Is there any
 way of doing this in CSS?
 
 Any help would be appreciated.
 
 Thanks

Without even looking at your page, I can tell you that you have two 
elements here - body and li - both with the same ID. An ID needs to be 
unique on a page, or it *will* break something. Change one of the IDs 
to something else and things should improve.
