Is there a way to change the color of a link in a navbar if the address of
the link is the current page?
For instance if I have:
Home - index.php
Products - products.php
Contact - contact.php
Let's say I'm on the home page, and the Home link is dark green whereas
Products and Contact are green.
Now I go to the Products page and Home and Contact are green whereas
Products is dark green.
So far I have always used a class="current" attribute to diferenciate, but
maybe there is a more simple CSS way to do it. How would you do it?
Thanks,

Not with CSS. JavaScript might be able to do it. Generally the best solution
is to generate your menu on the server (or before the code reaches the
server) and have that menu entry not be a link at all (recursive links are
not a great idea).

Yes, rewrite your page so that pages don't link to themselves. There's
never any need for it,

There *is* a need for it if you prefer to share a single template
among a number of pages instead of having to maintain separate,
nearly-but-not-quite-identical copies of your navigation bar on every
page.

On the home page:
<body id="homepage">
On the products page:
<body id="productspage">
On the contact page:
<body id="contactpage">
On all pages:
<a class="navlink" id="navhome" href="index.php">...</a>
<a class="navlink" id="navproducts" href="products.php">...</a>
<a class="navlink" id="navcontact" href="contact.php">...</a>
In CSS:
a.navlink { color: #080; }
#homepage #navhome,
#productpage #navproduct,
#contactpage #navcontact { color: #030; }

Get a better template engine?
<ul>
[% FOR link IN menu %]
<li>
[% UNLESS link.href == current_url -%]
<a href="[% link.href %]">
[% END -%]
link.text
[% UNLESS link.href == current_url -%]
</a>
[% END -%]
</li>

Don't use plain SSI for your nav bar?
Use PHP, ASP, Cold Fusion, even X-SSI would let you remove the link
from the entry to the current page.
Ditto, if you're using some sort of desktop system such as a
pre-processor.

*David Dorward* <do*****@yahoo.com>:
[% FOR link IN menu %]
<li>
[% UNLESS link.href == current_url -%]
<a href="[% link.href %]">
[% END -%]
[% link.text %]
[% UNLESS link.href == current_url -%]
</a>
[% END -%]
That better look something like:
[% FOR link IN menu %]
<li><a
[% UNLESS link.href == current_url -%]
href="[% link.href %]"
[% END -%][% link.text %]</a>
Actually template-engines should not do scripting themselves, but maybe
this is the exception to the rule.

Well, yeah, if your links are in a database.

So put them in a "database". It isn't difficult, it could be as simple
as a text file containing a link and link text per line:
/somepage/ | Page Title
/some/other/page | Other Page Title
etc
