I’m trying to create a menu based on my categories.

I would imagine creating a menu based upon categories is a common task. So I must be going about this the wrong way.

The issue I’m having is I cannot access the <li> to place an id in the selected item.  If I use the style=“linear” my sub-categories are not nested.

Here is my code which is located in an embed.  The if statement I’m using works, it is just located in the <a> rather than the <li>

{exp:weblog:categories weblog="kb" show_empty="no" category="18"}{!-- cat 18 is kb --}
<a href="#id=selected"> _{category_name}_</a>
{/exp:weblog:categories}

Is anybody aware of any plugins or tricks to solve this?

i realized i didn’t have a good answer… 😉

The issue I’m having is I cannot access the <li> to place an id in the selected item.  If I use the style=“linear” my sub-categories are not nested.

so current output is:

<ul>
<li><a href="#">foobar</a></li>
<li><a href="#">foobar2</a></li>
<li><ul><li><a href="#">foobar3</a></li></ul>
</li>
</ul>

and I want:

<ul>
<li id="selected"><a href="#">foobar</a></li>
<li><a href="#">foobar2</a></li>
<li><ul><li><a href="#">foobar3</a></li></ul>
</li>
</ul>

(I clarified anyway, maybe someone else will)
