I have stared at this monitor and can not find where I'm goofing. This is a theme template that I'm altering. I have altered the css.style, superfish.css and header.

What I'm wanting is what I've posted in the topic title. Say I'm on the home page, I want the link to change color when hover then stay that color once clicked.

Any help greatly appreciated.

style.css

/* Navigation Highlights */
.current-cat a, .current_page_item a {font-weight:bold; color:#d852bc;}
.sf-menu a:hover{color:#d852bc;}

superfish.css

/*** ESSENTIAL STYLES ***/
.sf-menu, .sf-menu * {
	margin:			0;
	padding:		0;
	list-style:		none;
	font-size:      1em;
	text-align: left;
}
.sf-menu {
	line-height:	1.0;
}
.sf-menu ul {
	position:		absolute;
	top:			-999em;
	width:			10em; /* left offset of submenus need to match (see below) */
}
.sf-menu ul li {
	width:			100%;
}
.sf-menu li:hover {
	visibility:		inherit; /* fixes IE7 'sticky bug' */
}
.sf-menu li {
	float:			left;
	position:		relative;
}
.sf-menu li.right {float:right;}
.sf-menu a {
	display:		block;
	position:		relative;
}

.sf-menu li:hover ul,
.sf-menu li.sfHover ul {
	left:			0;
	top:			2.6em; /* match top ul list item height */
	z-index:		99;

A link to your site might help...

figured the <a href links in the header.php code would be a dead give away.

Sorry - I don't tend to read large chunks of code & CSS as I find that they aren't of much use without being able to see the site.

Have you tried styling on:

.sf-menu .current_cat,.sf-menu .current_page_item,.sf-menu.current_page_parent,.sf-menu .current_page_ancestor{
}

With the help of xiabolai and this thread I was able to achieve most of what I wanted. Problem now is xiabolai did not include a "blog" page with his and I'm wanting to include a blog. When I include the "blog" the "work" link stays hightlighted. I do not know .php and could use some help on getting this sorted.
