Required to set background color for menu

Hi friends,

i had created a site in joomla, with 5 menus and two submenu for two parent menu. My main menus are listed below

1.Home

2.About us

 2.1 Home
 2.2 Advantages
 2.3 Brief
  1. Services

    3.1 Home
    3.2 Sample

  2. Careers

. I want to set active menu item background-color as blue. So for this my syntax is #menu ul li.active a { background-color:blue; }

But unfortunately it is applicable for home menu only. When i clickmenu (active id=“current”) it available only for home. Remaining menus doesn’t contain id=“current” where relevant select. So any body clarify this.

Hi joomlaforums. Welcome to the SitePoint forums. :slight_smile:

You can do this with CSS, or JavaScript, or PHP, as discussed here:

However, Joomla probably has some inbuilt functions for this, so I’d check that out too. for example, other CMSes can look at the current URL and ass in the “current” class/ID if the URL of the page matches the URL in the link. So I’d check that out first. (I don’t know Joomla.)
