Hi John,

I'm sorry I just don't get it. It must be a combination of IQ < 50 and css = brain meltdown.

I know it's a lot to ask but if you don't ask.... would it be possible with an "for dummies" explanation maybe using the styles in my style sheet?

Sorry to be such a pain.

I'm almost ready to add content to this page http://mouseriders.dk/ but I still have one problem I just can't figure out. Is it possible to create a style(s) that will show one of the tabs white (you are here kind of thing)... like I do in the sidenav ?



No problem. Just give each tab a unique class, and each page
that is a target of a tab a unique body class as well. Then it's possible to write descendant selectors that only apply to a tab when it's on the page to which it points.


For instance, say a page has a body class of "home" and the tab pointing to the home page has a class of "hometab", then write this:

.home .hometab {styles for the "current" page tab;}

Now those special rules can override the normal styles on
the tab set. This method allows a series of selectors to be
grouped together:

.home .hometab, .about .abouttab, .sitemap .sitemaptab
{styles for the "current" page tab;}


Thus the tabs normally obey the primary tab styles, and
only if a tab class properly matches up with a body class,
will the special styles in this block apply to it.
