I'm having problems getting my nav menu to mark "this page" to change the look of the button without having to set it on every page.

I've been through all my books and so far, nothing is giving me anything that work.s

any ideas?

sorry.

didn't know if it was needed.

Here is what I have for my html

<body id="color">
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="branding">
<p>Branding content here</p>
  </div>
<div id="content">
<div id="mainContent">
	<p>MainContent content here</p>
</div>
<div id="secondaryContent">
	<p>SecondaryContent content here</p>
</div>
  </div>
<div id="mainNav">
<a href="page1.php" class="color">Color Copies</a>
<a href="page2.php">B & W Copies</a>
<a href="page3.php">Banners</a>
<a href="page4.php">Blueprints</a>
<a href="page5.php">Business Cards</a>
<a href="page6.php">Letterheads</a>
<a href="page7.php">Envelopes</a>
<a href="page8.php">Forms</a> </div>
<div id="footer">
<p>Footer content here</p>
  </div>
</div>
</body>

 

And here is what my css is set up as.  right now, it set up the way one of my books had it done, but it doesn't seem to be working.

 

#wrapper {
width: 800px;
}

#content {
width: 620px;
float: right;
background-color: #0000FF;
}

#mainContent {
width: 420px;
float: left;
}

#secondaryContent {
width: 180px;
height: 600px;
float: right;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
background-color: #FF0000;
}

#mainNav {
width: 180px;
height: 600px;
float: left;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}

#mainNav a:link, a:visited {
display: block;
float: right;
width: 170px;
height: 30px;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
line-height: 2;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
background-image: url(../images/end-grey.jpg);
background-position: left;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
border: 0;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
}

#mainNav a:hover {
background-color: #000000;
background-image: url(../images/end-black.jpg);
background-position: left;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

#color #wrapper #mainNav .color a {
background-color: #E21D24;
background-image: url(../images/end-red.jpg);
background-position: left;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
cursor: default;
}

#mainNav li {
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
}

#footer {
clear: both;
}
