I'm being generous today... this is what I do and it works very well.
On the top of every page:
<% option explicit
thispage = "page title"
thisurl = "example.asp"
%>
....
<title><%=thispage%></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1><%=thispage%></title>
....
</body>
In nav_inc.asp:
<% pagelist = "Home, About, Contact"
urllist = "index.asp, about.asp, contact.asp"
pagearr = split(pagelist,", ")
urlarr = split(urllist,", ")
%>
<ul>
<%
for i = 0 to ubound(pagearr)
<%=navlist(pagearr(i),urlarr(i))%>
next
%>
</ul>
<%
function navlist(page,link)
if thispage = link then
navlist = "<li><a href=" & chr(034) & link & chr(034) & " class="
& chr(034) & "currentpage" & chr(034) & ">" & page & "</a></li>"
else
navlist = "<li><a href=" & chr(034) & link & chr(034) ">" & page &
</a></li>"
end if
end function
%>
The reason you want to use class here instead of id is because you may
have to use the same menu elsewhere on the page, and an id can only be
used once.
