Hi, Yes this is the correct way to do things. As i said, i'm using different styles for the menus links indicating the current page. Suppose my page has one horiontal menu at the top and one vertical menu at the left. In this case, one element of the horizontal menu and one from the vertical menu will be displayed differently from the other elements. So the function that will be inluded will be more complex to handle this. I was just wondering, how other poeple are dealing with that. Of course it is feasable, but i want to do it the best way. I hope the problem i posted is clearer now --- tedd <tedd.sperling@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > At 9:23 AM -0800 3/8/08, Adil Drissi wrote: > >I'm working on a site that is becoming more and > more > >bigger (containing more links).
