Chrome does not display the proper background for currently selected page

Chrome does not display the proper background for currently selected page

My menu works perfectly in IE and Firefox, however, there seems to be a glitch in Google Chrome. If I have selected a page, Google Chrome does not change the background of that link permanently the way the other ones do.

For example, if I am on the "about us" page and I selected a blue background for that square in the menu. The other browsers will keep the background blue if I'm on the "about us" page. Google Chrome will not keep the square (link background) highlighted.

Any idea when you guys will update the code to accommodate this issue. It's more than a little annoying.

Here's the URL

I may have done something wrong when I moved the site over to my dev server. Did I miss a file or something? Everything seems perfect...

At any rate - here's the dev server URL - my_practice.php

Thanks for taking a look at this!!

I'm seeing the same background in chrome as in safari and fire fox, i do not see any difference using Chrome, Fire Fox or Safari, the menus look identical in these three browsers to me.

Let me clarify what I'm saying

What I mean is that when you select a page, the link doesn't change color and stay the same color. In other words, if I'm on the "my philosophy" web page, the link for My Philosophy should be blue. It isn't. It changes back to the original color.

I had originally done the site in javascript (www.chrismoye.com) and I didn't have any issues. This is my first time using the CSS Writer and the only remaining issue is the fact that it doesn't maintain the color state when after the mouse click.

I dont see the curent page being highlighted in any browser, chrome, safari, or firefox. looking at the source code of your page, it doesn't look like you you have set the option to highlight the active menu item.

I see this code:

<script type="text/javascript">if(window.attachEvent) { window.attachEvent("onload", function() { cssmw.intializeMenu('cssmw',{select_current: 0, orientation: 2}); }); } else if(window.addEventListener) { window.addEventListener("load", function() { cssmw.intializeMenu('cssmw',{select_current: 0, orientation: 2}); }, true); }</script>




the "select_current: 0," means that select currant menu item is turned off.

it should be set to 3 to highlight the main menu item::

<script type="text/javascript">if(window.attachEvent) { window.attachEvent("onload", function() { cssmw.intializeMenu('cssmw',{select_current: 3, orientation: 2}); }); } else if(window.addEventListener) { window.addEventListener("load", function() { cssmw.intializeMenu('cssmw',{select_current: 3, orientation: 2}); }, true); }</script>
