I am having an issue with the House Menu not setting either an ID or class for the selected item in the menu.  It basically renders like this all the time:

 

<ul id="tabs8">
<li id="tabs8ItemHome"><a href="http://localhost/blah" title="Home">Home</a></li>
<li id="tabs8Item117"><a id="tabs8Link117" href="http://localhost/blah/AboutUs/OurCompany/tabid/118/Default.aspx" title="About Us" tabindex="1">About Us</a></li>
</ul>
Only way I see around it is to insert one via javascript, but that is a pain and not dynamic for the user.

Actually HouseMenu sets an id tag for current link.

So just set currentlink css and your set.

For example I have

CssElementId = "HouseMenuNav"

in my CSS I have

#HouseMenuNavCurrentLink
{
insert styling
}

That will style the currently selected menu item. NOTE: It will not style the Home tab/page.

You have to do #HouseMenuNavItemHome for that, this is a bit of a problem though cause the styling remains the same on the Home tab as its a set id. To work around this create a second html file for Home page, and set the CssElement to HouseMenuNavHome or whatever naming convention you want, then set #HouseMenuNavHomeItemHome style. Then just set your home tab / page to have the Home version of your skin. This way when our users are on Home it will display the selected styling you want, but when they travel to the other tabs/pages the HouseMenuNavCurrentLink will take over.

It will if you set the portals home page to "none" in the site settings

just a side question if you don't set a home page does the site just default to lowest tab, for a new user / login?

This appears to be a very clever workaround to a vexing problem - thanks Timo.  So does setting the Home page to <none selected> affect anything else in a DNN portal?  The manual says:

Set any page as the Home page of this portal.  This setting also sets the page users are taken to when they click on the logo. If a Home page is not set, the page located on the far left or top of the menu will be the default home page.

So it doesn't sound as if it hurts anything.  Nice work.
