This is kinda like css html and php but here it goes.

How can you change what a link looks like on a certain page?

I have a nav that looks like tabs and i want to make it so whichever page you are on the tab is down?!

I have the stylle stuff but how do i do it?

Because i am using includes for that part.

if it were html it would be easy.

Use PHP to print out the navigation (Looping through an array using foreach), then print out CSS classes for each HTML DIV element whether "tab" or "tab_active" where tab_active has a different CSS style to have the tab down. Hope this helps.

use server side code to set a class to whichever is the "active" link for the page

Awesome! So ill make the active links the same as the hover which is the tab down.

perfect! Thank you!

Or, if you're like me (I'm super lazy), you will do it all with JavaScript. This is for a navigation with an id of "menu" on it:

<script type="text/javascript">
var nav=document.getElementById("menu").getElementsByTagName("a");
for(var i in nav) {
    if(nav[i].href==window.location) {
        nav[i].className="active";
    }
}
</script>

If the href of a link is the same as the location of the window within "#menu", it will add a class of "active" to the <a>, which can be styled from the CSS document. Just put the script at the bottom of the page, or right underneath the menu.
