How can I highlight the active link on a dynamic menu

[jonohara]

I have a page which generates a navigation menu on the fly. The menu always contains a hyperlink to the current page as well as related pages.

Can vbscript help me make the active or current link standout (e.g. bold and bigger font).

Thanks

you can do it applying a style on it :

objLink.Style.fontweight ="bold"

You can just set the A.link attribute to bold. For example

 (html, this goes in the body section)  Alink="red"

or 

 (vbscript)     A.link="ff00ff"

etc

Thanks for those...

The problem is that I want this style to apply to just one link of several generated (ie the current selected page) not throughout the whole page.

Thanks again

couldn't you use a subroutine that is called by the current page link when it is generated. All the other links don't then call the sub routine.

I'm not 100% on how to do this, but it should at least work in theory!!!

Perhaps


maybe


possibly!

Well that's just what I meant. I assumed that objLink was an object created :

set objLink = document.createElement("A")objLink.Style.fontweight ="bold"

This code will apply the style to this anchor tag, not the other ones in the page. Water is not bad as long as it stays out human body ;-)
