Highlight header tab

[jahmike]

Trying to highlight some tabs in the tpl_header.php to indicate where the user is navigating.

for instance, I have a couple tabs ... DVD, CD etc ... which takes you to a specific category. Once you are on a particular category (or sub) I would like to highlight that tab .... tried looking for variables that would tell me this but could not find one that gives me the id of the parent category.

Not sure if I going about this wrong or if there is an easier way of doing this.


BTW - Zen Rocks!

Thx

/includes/modules/categories_tabs.php sets a different class (category-subs-selected) for the active category, so you can style that in your stylesheet:

#navCatTabs .category-subs-selected {
    color: #ff3300;
    background-color: #ddeeff;
    }

Adjust to taste.

Yeah saw that .. couldn't really use that becuase I don't use categories_tabs.php to generate my tabs ... I have others tabs that are not related to any category.

Anyhow, I just found out how to get this info ... variable called cPath_array 1st element (cPath_array[0]).

Got the variable list from -- http://textsnippets.com/posts/show/1169

Anyhow, thx.
