Question

How to set the Active menu item color when i click the sub submenu items or main item in asp.net master page.

My code is (master page source)

Answer 1

I am not familier to ASP , but in php for instance I'll handle it by adding a function that will check which page is the current page. I will call it above the HTML and then you can use it.

Algorithem:

1.Get current URL

2.Fetch the current file name out of it

3.save the current file name as a variable ("selectedPage")

4.When printing the menu out , use condition to compare the "selectedPage" to the item's file name.

Consider printing the menu using an array and a loop (so instead X conditions , you'll have to write just one)
