achor highlighting - El Forum - 06-10-2008

I am sure this has been asked before but i have failed to find the answer
i have a side navi which i include as a view all over the place.
in it obviously lots of this sort of thing
<?=anchor('start/help', 'Hilfe', 'onfocus="blur()"');?>
i have in the controllers a $data['page] so know where i am but
how can i easily highlight which navi point i am on ?
so far i have come up with this
<li><?=($page == 'help') ? '<b>' : '';?><?=anchor('start/help', 'Hilfe', 'onfocus="blur()"');?><?=($page == 'help') ? '</b>' : '';?></li>
but to be honest thats more code than if i just hard coded the link :-P

This may be slightly shorter:
<li><?php if($page=='help') $attributes = array( 'class' => 'current' ); echo anchor('start/help', 'Hilfe', $attributes); ?></li>
(in your css, make sure .current { font-weight: bold; } )
But I tend to use html anchors:
<li><a href="<?=base_url()?>index.php/start/help" class="<?=($page == 'help') ? 'current' : '' ?>">Hilfe</a>
This is the shortest and seems the easiest to read.
Hope this helps!

yep we are thinking along the same lines !
i'm thinking $attributes = $spoon = array('title' => 'val1', 'onfocus' => '"blur()"', 'id' => $page.'x');
and then a css rule with bold for all pages

and in fact i just need once at the top of the side nav
$attributes = array( 'onfocus' => '"blur()"', 'id' => $page.'x');
and then each anchor becomes
<?=anchor('start/help', 'Hilfe', $attributes);?>
so in fact shorter than before :-)
