Hi,

in order to style the active page in my navigation, and in other parts of a layout, I simply give classes to the layout.
Say, body class="section1 page3" will have the following style:

body.section1 ul li.section1 {background:blue}
body.section1 ul li ul {visibility:visible;left:0;}
body.page3 ul li ul li.page3 {background:url(dec-images/pointer.gif)}

This way, the menus know when to display the correct submenu and wich menu items to highlight.
I don't think this functionality is built in, but it will be easy to hack if I knew how to call the taxonomy.. something like body class=" echo:$taxonomy; or something, does anyone know the correct syntax for this?

Or is there maybe a lightweight module that does something similar?
