active / focus state with dynamic menu

Hey Jason

Using menu writer, I have created a dynamic menu which also utilises mod rewrite to make the urls SEF.

How do I go about making the active / focus state to stay highlighted and show when on the relevant page

The site is http://www.youngbeauty.co.uk/index.php and the navigation is the one on the right hand side under 'Treatments'

Thanks

Jamie

The Menu highlighting will not work with mod rewrite.

Menu highlighting works by matching the page name that is in the address bar against the name of the page being displayed.

By design, Mod Rewrite converts the address bar to a different page name, this conversion will break the highlighting feature.
