Hi i've posted the web file for the site i'm working on, the nav bar is a rebuilt new one, but is still exhibiting the same problem, on this one none of the buttons "stick" to the page they are on, that is to say if your on say "home" the home button usually stays highlighted to let you know where you are on the site, dont remember doing anything unusual for it all to stop working like that, if its something i did i cant see what!
Much appreciate the help.

Hi Ramshackle. If you want the page you are on to be highlighted (ie the tab to 'stick') then it needs to be in the Mouse Down Layer. I have done it for you on your navbar because I had such a great chuckle reading your site and I had a couple of minutes to spare afterwards. For your reference this is what I did :
To keep the tab highlighted it needs to be in the MOUSE DOWN layer.
Go to the Page & Layer Gallery and unclick the redeye in the MOUSE OFF layer.
Drag and drop the NavBar from the Mouse Off layer and put it in the Mouse Down Layer. Do this on all your pages.
There you go grumpy old git. I would like to see a site from the GOG's guide to life website!
Auto highlighting of the current page is default behaviour with just the MouseOver an MouseOff layers present. It will also work with those two layers plus the MouseDown layer. In this case the Down layer is used for the page indicator. As yours was blank nothing was there to display.
P.S. Just read through the site, brilliant

Drwyd you are a genius (fawn fawn) i'm still coming to grips with mouse on mouse off mouse traps etc and it now makes sense, what is odd though is that i have used several type of supplied navbar templates and got the same result - the original problem may have happened when i was changing the colour scheme of the navbar - to correct it if i just use your modded web file is to just replace my one with the one you done?
Hopefully if i can get my last few brain cells into gear i will finish the last page today and the site will go live on sunday sometime, so i will post a message in the websites bit on here in case anyon else fancies a chuckle.
Again thx so much for sorting it out and Easter is next on the hitlist and your suggesting is interesting.....
Just as a side issue, the changes have given me the the effect that went missing, just expanding on that, if for instance i wanted the nav bar to "highlight" each button on mouseover action, looking in the mouseover layer thats blank at the moment, i'm assuming i would need to copy the bar and make it a different colour and make sure it was in the mouseover layer to work? or is that too simplistic?
