Submenu AND parent item highlighting

[painsicook]

I have racked my brains to trying to highlight a submenu item AND its parent mainmenu item at the same time (still new to Joomla! and CSS so it took me longer than usual).
I'm not sure if there is a different way, but it works for me now! 



index.php:

Code: Select all

<div id="mainmenu">
   <jdoc:include type="modules" name="top" style="xhtml" />
 </div>   

template.css:

Code: Select all

#mainmenu ul li.parent.active a {
   color: #67b721;
 }

Regards!

Cheers!

I was also having issues with the new mainmenu list of Joomla 1.5 and how to get the parent styled while having an acvtive submenu.

li.active a for the main menu
and
li.parent.active a for the sub menu

works great!

Thanks for the tip!
