B) The code in menu css is taken from an example on the internet... In
the
example it uses these 2 css blocks to change the setting of the link the
mouse is hovering over:
#navigation a:hover
#navigation a:hover
But instead of a hovering effect I want to convert this css block to be
show
the current selected item in the ul block. I mean if u could show me how
to
embedd this css block in the html code, then I can do the rest... The
actual
page will be genereated using php, so in php I use a if-test... if
selected
then do this, if not selected to that....

So let me get this straight: the UL is a navigation menu, and if the
user clicks on, say, item #6, she'll be directed to a page with this
same navigation menu on it but item #6 should look different from the
others. Is that correct? Why not have a style like so:
#CurrentlySelectedMenuItem { font-weight: bold; }

Then use PHP to build your UL and give the 6th LI an
id="CurrentlySelectedMenuItem".
Yes your suggestion with bold text works, it can show the selected item...

However I also if possible would like to know how to set the backgrund color
of the selected menu item...

#CurrentlySelectedMenuItem {
font-weight: bold;
background-color: red;
}
