First: excellent solution, pretty, clean motion! Thank YOU for sharing!

Second: What if one wanted to make this into an include file for a PHP file?

I've seen some similar CURRENT PAGE scripts use the body id or a PHP function inserted at the top of the page to identify the page as the CURRENT PAGE, but the List Apart solution and yours only calls the class of the current page within the LI tag for each link so it performs only if the code is included inline.

So, for a non-techie like myself, trying to figure out how to modify the JS and CSS for use in a PHP include file — i.e., exactly where and what to change to make it recognize when to use the CSS for the CURRENT PAGE as an include file is… a bit daunting.

Is this an easy fix, or does it require major revamping?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

You rock!

The solution looks to be like they told you in the forum you posted the question [http://forums.asp.net/p/1526520/3683818.aspx]

I have little experience with .NET, but as far as I can tell it's surely an issue with the ugly templating that .NET Framework uses and the unpredictability of element IDs.

Any solution to implementing this into ASP.NET websites? I tested this code and it works fine in an HTML document but when you move it inside the tags in an .aspx file it stops working. Any ideas?
