Navigation 1

When I'm on a page with a link to it in my bottom navigation, I would like the underline (text-decoration)for that particular page link to disappear, and then reappear when I've moved on to another page. I'm really not sure how to accomplish this. I welcome any ideas you may have.

A little more information is necessary.

I am assuming you are using includes, otherwise this would be a wired question. So how are you including them? what language? etc.

Actually, I'm incorporating this into a "shell" of a portal (BEA) which is sort of like using an include. It's html.

Here is a function I found to get the url information.

// Current Page Reference

function getURL(uri) {
	uri.dir = location.href.substring(0,location.href.lastIndexOf('\/'));
	uri.dom = uri.dir; 
	if (uri.dom.substr(0,7) == 'http:\/\/') uri.dom = uri.dom.substr(7);
	uri.path = ''; 
	var pos = uri.dom.indexOf('\/'); 
	if (pos > -1) {
		uri.path = uri.dom.substr(pos+1); 
		uri.dom = uri.dom.substr(0,pos);
	}
	uri.page = location.href.substring(uri.dir.length+1,location.href.length+1);
	pos = uri.page.indexOf('?');if (pos > -1) {uri.page = uri.page.substring(0, pos);}
	pos = uri.page.indexOf('#');if (pos > -1) {uri.page = uri.page.substring(0, pos);}
	uri.ext = ''; 
	pos = uri.page.indexOf('.');
	if (pos > -1) {
		uri.ext =uri.page.substring(pos+1); 
		uri.page = uri.page.substr(0,pos);
	}
	uri.file = uri.page;
	if (uri.ext != '') uri.file += '.' + uri.ext;
	if (uri.file == '') uri.page = 'index';
	uri.args = location.search.substr(1).split("?");
	return uri;
}

var uri = new Object();
getURL(uri);

You can then check the uri.page to see what page you are on. From there you can document.write the proper information depending on what page you are on.

Great! Thank you.
