The easiest (and least dynamic) way to solve this would be to just include a different set of HTML for your menu on each of the pages. Ie, on the weatherpage, you've got html that shows the weatherpart highlighted. No asp needed.

If you're dynamically generating your menu, for example from a database, you could assign each new menuitem a special directory on the server (the weather would be /weather/) and then include a check of what directory you're in (using ServerVariables) with your menuscript. If the directory matches the directory assigned to the menuitem in the database, you give that table row a different color or look.

Thats ok but if you make a change.....

Another way is to include the same menu on each page and use css, create a special "selected" style , and dynamically write the style names, based on the urls.

Yes, its a bit messy, but another option.

You have to first detemine the page name & then something like this for every link...

<div style="<% if pageName="Page1" then response.write "selected"%>">
<a href="page1.htm">Page1</a></div>

Anyone else?
