Wow, they were speedy replies..thanks guys.

I'm after going with bobbob's solution..it works like a treat.

One more thing. I just put an array at the very beginning of header.php to store menu items. I then use a for each loop to print them out in the nav bar furhter down..it will make adding menu items easy but is it the right way to do things??

Example:

Code:
&lt;?php

    $navBar = array(

                        array('Home','home'),

                        array('Transactions','/transaction'),

                        array('Customers','/customer')

                        );

?&gt;

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

    &lt;title&gt;&lt;?php echo $title; ?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;

    &lt;meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /&gt;

    &lt;style media="all" type="text/css"&gt;@import "http://192.168.72.128/grain/css/all.css";&lt;/style&gt;

    [removed][removed]

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<div id="main">

    <div id="header">

        <a href="splash.php" class="logo"><img src="img/logo.gif" width="101" height="29" alt="" /></a>

        <ul id="top-navigation">

            &lt;?php     

                    // Print out top navigation bar and apply active state to currently open page link.

                    foreach($navBar as $link):

                        if(strnatcasecmp($this->uri->segment(2),$link[0]) == 0) 

                        { 

                            echo '<li class="active"'; ?&gt;><span><span>&lt;?php echo $link[0]; 

                        }

                        else

                        {

                            echo '<li><span><span>'.anchor($link[1],$link[0]). '</span></span></li>';

                        }

                    endforeach;

            ?&gt;

        </ul>

    </div>

What do you think of this code? How would you improve it?

Thanks guys..

P.S. I only have <5 hours experience with CI but I absolutely love it!!
