problem with if statement

[webgodjj]

Hi,

I am trying to declaire the page title at the top, then change the class in the <li> tag to reffernce which page the person is on. However, all the <li> tags are active in the situation below... where am I going wrong? You can see that I have tried a few things...

<? $pageid="Home"; ?>

<ul>
    <li<? if ($pageid="Home") echo " class='active'"; ?>><a href="#">Home</a></li>
    <li<? if ($pageid="About Us")  echo " class='active'"; ?>><a href="#">About Us</a></li>
    <li<? if ($pageid="Services") { echo " class=\"active\"";}?>>Services</a></li>
    <li<? if ($pageid="Resources") { echo " class=\"active\"";}?>><a href="#">Resources</a></li>
    <li<? if ($pageid="Faqs") { echo " class=\"active\"";}?>><a href="#">Faqs</a></li>
    <li<? if ($pageid="Contact Us") { echo " class=\"active\"";}?>><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li>
    <li<? if ($pageid="Events") { echo " class=\"active\"";}?>><a href="#">Events</a></li>
</ul>

it should be if($pageid == "whatever")
== is for comparision
and
= is for setting value

Thanks! ... I actually just caught the mistake as well.... Sometimes you just have to pace around the desk a few times

You are also missing some braces {}
