Help please

Can someone tell me how in I change the
active link to also be a tab instead of just text. The background image
doesn't work. I do not want to tinker with anything I should not.

Pelase post css code you have for your

ul.menu li

and

ul.menu li a

[sdawkins]

div.navcontainer
{
width: 20em;
padding: 0 0 1em 0;
margin-bottom: 1em;
font-family: Verdana, Lucida, Geneva, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
background-color: #e4e4e4;
color: #333;
}

#menu8 {
width: 200px;
margin-top: 5px;
list-style-type: none;
}

#menu8 li a {
text-decoration: none;
height: 32px;
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family: inherit;
height: 24px;
}

#menu8 li a:link, #menu8 li a:visited {
color: #777;
display: block;
background: url(../images/menu8.gif);
padding: 8px 0 0 20px;
}

#menu8 li a:hover {
color: #257EB7;
background: url(../images/menu8.gif) 0 -32px;
padding: 8px 0 0 25px;
}

#menu8 li a:active {
color: #fff;
background: url(../images/menu8.gif) 0 -64px;
padding: 8px 0 0 25px;
}

#menu8 {
width: 200px;
margin-top: 5px;
list-style-type: none;
}

#menu8 li a {
text-decoration: none;
height: 32px;
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family: inherit;
height: 24px;
}

#menu8 li a:link, #menu8 li a:visited {
color: #777;
display: block;
background: url(../images/menu8.gif);
padding: 8px 0 0 20px;
}

#menu8 li a:hover {
color: #257EB7;
background: url(../images/menu8.gif) 0 -32px;
padding: 8px 0 0 25px;
}

#menu8 li a:active {
color: #fff;
background: url(../images/menu8.gif) 0 -64px;
padding: 8px 0 0 25px;
}


Try to change this part:
#menu8 li a {
text-decoration: none;
height: 32px;
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family: inherit;
height: 24px;
}
to this:
#menu8 li {
color: #fff;
background: url(../images/menu8.gif) 0 -64px;
padding: 8px 0 0 25px;
height: 32px;
}

No luck WTM :(

Thanks for trying.

Since it did that with numerous menus I tried I thought it might be this line in the layout.php

$url = $value['url'];
$caption = $value['caption'];

if (($key == $gTab) && (0 == $aCategory))
{
$out .= "<li class=\"active\" {$style}><div>{$caption}</div></li>";
}
else

try to change all

#menu...
to
.menu...

If you use #menu you have to use "ID" instead of "class"

Sharon if you want to give me ftp access and describe how exactly you want it to look I should be able to fix that

[sdawkins]

I am using ID -- this is the code in header.tpl

<div class="navcontainer">
<div id="menu8">{$menu}</ul>

As I said, I tried using different menus (from open source, as well as the one I am using from another free menu site) and have had the same issue with all.
