Hi,

I have the following topNavigation.cshtml which works nicely for top level pages, keeping the main-active class applied to the current menu item.

<ul>
 @{
   string style="";
   }

 @if(Model.Name=="Welcome"){style = " class=\"main-active\"";}

  <li @Html.Raw(style)>
    <a href="/Welcome" title="Welcome">Welcome</a>
  </li>

@foreach (var page in Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).Children.Where("Visible"))
{
style="";

if(([email protected])){style = " class=\"main-active\"";}

  <li @Html.Raw(style)>
    <a href="@page.Url" title="@page.Name">
      @page.Name
    </a>
  </li>  
}
</ul>

I want to add something in or around here

if(([email protected])){style = " class=\"main-active\"";}

to cause the top menu item to remain highlighted when a child page is displayed as well. I can't get my head around it. Can anyone suggest something?

Regards,

Craig

This will work ................

Replace your foreach loop with the following ...........


  @foreach (var item in Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).Children.Where("Visible")) {
  var selected = Array.IndexOf(Model.Path.Split(','), item.Id.ToString()) >= 0 ? " class=\"main-active;\"" : "";
  <li @Html.Raw(selected)>
  <a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a>
  </li>
  }

You could also use

@foreach (var item in Model.AncestorOrSelf(1).Children.Where("Visible")) {

      <li class="@Model.IsDescendantOrSelf(item,"main", "")">
        <a href="@item.Url" >@item.Name</a>
      </li>
      }
