CSS navigation menu & autolink

[pgoiffon . wicket]

Hello all,

I'm really new in the object world in general and using Wicket  
particularly, so please excuse if I'm missing something... I've  
googled around but maybe I didn't use the good keywords.


So here's my question !

I'm building a navigation menu for my web application. There are 3  
different levels, the higher one is linking to different Wicket pages.  
My top level menu is html coded like this :

<ul>
        <li>Menu Item 1</li>
        <li class="current">Menu Item 2</li>
        <li>Menu Item 3</li>
</ul>

Notice the class="current" on the selected page.

I've already created the following code (see below), but was wondering  
if there are any means to use the Wicket autolink feature ? It would  
be far more simplier... The difficulty I see is to modify the <li> tag  
on the selected link ? Thanks for advices !



// LayoutAuthenticated.html
...
        <ul wicket:id="menu1a">
                <li wicket:id="menu1aItem"><a>Libellé menu1</a></li>
        </ul>
...



// LayoutAuthenticated.java

        protected MenuItem menu1aOpt1;
        protected MenuItem menu1aOpt2;
        protected MenuItem menu1aOpt3;

        public LayoutAuthenticated() {
...
                List<MenuItem> menu1aList = new ArrayList<MenuItem>();
		menu1aList.add(menu1aOpt1 = new MenuItem("menu1aItem", true,  
"menu1a.Opt1", Opt1.class));
		menu1aList.add(menu1aOpt2 = new MenuItem("menu1aItem", true,  
"menu1a.Opt2", Opt2.class));
		menu1aList.add(menu1aOpt3 = new MenuItem("menu1aItem", true,  
"menu1a.Opt3", Opt3.class));
                add(new ListView<MenuItem>("menu1a", menu1aList) {
                        @Override
                        protected void populateItem(ListItem<MenuItem> item) {
                                item.add(item.getModelObject());
                        }
                });
...
        }
