okay,
I’m pretty new to this and slightly confused, so forgive me if I’m missing the apparent & obvious…

here’s what i’m looking for:
I’m templating a bunch of sidebar navigation items, and in order to be able to have a nice and pretty css-rule for the ‘currently active’ or ‘selected’ navigation item (for highlighting, bold typeface and so on, you know…?) I’d like to include a conditional statement that compares the name of the menuitem against the template-name, so i that any matched item receives an “id”-value of -let’s say- “actif”.
am i trying too hard,
asking too much,
or does EE have provisions on offer for that kind of problem,
that i’m simply unaware of?

Thank in advance for any hints or help,
s.

You could try something like this:

<li {if '{segment_2}' == 'here'}class="current"{/if}><a href="http://{path=template_group/here}">Here</a></li>
