Hi John, I am in need of a token that signals the difference between an active page and a page in the (breadcrumb) path. Currently, I can't tell the difference. IIF({Tab.IsActive}='True',class="SelectedTab") Tab.IsActive refers to the complete path. Consequently I can't discriminate the styling of a parent between his active state and his breadcrumb state. This issue has also been discussed in: http://www.snapsis.com/Support/tabid/601/forumid/7/tpage/1/view/topic/postid/9108/Default.aspx#9108 Did you make any progress? Peter

Hi Peter, I thought I had, but after checking the code it appears that I have not added that yet. Would you like it to work like I described in the other post?

Well I would rather have the discrimination between: "is active" (the page you are currently looking at) and "in the breadcrumb". I don't quite understand your solution: Page.HasSelectedChild and also Page.HasSelectedDescendant. How could I style the current page with this? It is none of both. Peter

I have added two new Tokens: {Page.IsSelected} -- will be true for only the currently selected menu item. {Page.IsBreadcrumb} -- will only be true for menu items that are ascendants of the currently selected item (but not the currently selected item). --- {Page.IsActive} -- was already there and is true for items that are currently selected and also those in the breadcrumb.

Hi, I would like a similar functionality. In a two level menu the default is: SelectedTab Level1 SelectedTab Level2 If an item is selected below the first level. This means I can't use the CSS class "SelectedTab" to style only the selected item (since it styles the entire selected tree). Can I use {Page.IsSelected} in a template to overcome this limitation? I have never used templates before but I would like the above example to be: SelectedTab Level1 SelectedTab Selected Level2 This way I can style the "Selected" class which makes it easier to see which item is currently in use. Kind Regards Andreas

Andreas, this was also my problem. John has solved this now. Peter

That sounds great Peter. This must be implemented in a later release than v3.3.0 developer edition, how can I get this update? Is it the default logic or do I have to write my own template? Kind Regards Andreas
