Hi, i have been able to create a navigation bar with css, but i realized that it can just be made once and "included" into every page of yours with php. Now what i dont understand is how can you edit the button that should link to that same page by doing so?

To make it clear: I have 5 links in the navigation bar. I want the user not to be able to click the button of the navigation bar when he is already on that page. EX: user is viewing About info so he shouldnt be able to click it. I am able to edit it manually if it were just an html file and i would just remove the link from whatever page it was, but if i include the bar in my page using php, how can i make sure the css for that page is changed?

i suggest using javascript as it is the easiest way.

[NastyDevil]

how do you do it in javascript then?

Heh, I don't think there's any "clean way" to do it, but you can do this:

<?php
$page = $_GET['page']; //etc.
?>

<li ... class="<?php print ($page == "about") ? 'nolink' : 'link' ?>">About</li>
<li ...
...

Just to clarify once more what im trying to do is something like the following: ben hulse design | a grey medium photography design | vancouver bc canada

When you click on the web button on that site it becomes highlighted for that page. Now i can do this with a little different code if i make 5 pages, but how can you handle that with just 1 file as your navigation bar? I see what you have there Null but can that really work? Any solutions to this in whatever language are welcome. I might just end up making 5 pages....

hi... there's some solution how to do this...

if your url looks like for example

http://duck.pacevt.com/slozka/scuby/Vendulka

then u will set through htaccess that "slozka" would match $page variable, "scuby" would match $subpage variable and "Vendulka" would be a $subsubpage variable...

your menu could now look like:

<a href="/link_one">Link one</a>

<a href="/link_two">Link two</a>

<a href="/link_three">Link three</a>

<a href="/link_four">Link four</a>

so let's make it through PHP:

<?php

if($_GET['page'] == 'link_one'){$href_one = 'href="/link_one"';}else{$href = '';}

if($_GET['page'] == 'link_two'){$href_two = 'href="/link_two"';}else{$href = '';}

if($_GET['page'] == 'link_three'){$href_three = 'href="/link_three"';}else{$href = '';}

if($_GET['page'] == 'link_four'){$href_four = 'href="/link_four"';}else{$href = '';}


echo'

<a '.$href_one.'>Link one</a>

<a '.$href_two .'>Link two</a>

<a '.$href_three .'>Link three</a>

<a '.$href_four .'>Link four</a>

';

i hope that helped little bit... it's just one of hundreds solutions in PHP

[Alexander]

@Scuby, that looks like an alright solution, although you best just slam it into IF statements.

Sure, it's the easiest way how to "explain" the code if someone don't know what's going on :)

In my opinion, javascript would be cleaner to do it in

JS can be slow and broken for something as simple as this, a preprocessor to handle addition or omission of the hyperlink is ideal, JS would just be a hack more or less at runtime.

Just edit the bolded text to match your structure.
I didn't checked it with menu include in pages with php, but I copied it in two page and it worked :)

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

var sPath = window.location.pathname;

//var sPage = sPath.substring(sPath.lastIndexOf('\\') + 1);

var sPage = sPath.substring(sPath.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);


	$(document).ready(function() {

		$("[B]#asdfasdfasdf a[/B]").attr("href", function (arr) {

			var as = $(this).attr("href");

			if(sPage==as) return "#";

        })

        .each(function () {

          $("[B]a[/B]", this).attr("href", this);

        });

	});

</script>

best regards, hope it works for you,
