   Hi, I have a static navigation that shows something like this:

   <ul id="main_menu">
               	<li <?php if (is_page('home') ) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/home"><span>Home</span></a></li>
                   <li <?php if (is_page('structure') || is_page('child_of=9') ) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/structure"><span>Structura</span></a>
                       <ul>
                       	<?php wp_list_pages('child_of=9&title_li='); ?>
                       </ul>
                 </li>
   
                   <li <?php if (is_page('contact') ) { echo ' class="current"'; } ?>><a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/contact"><span>Contact</span></a></li>
               </ul>

   I use php code to echo class current to the li when I am on that specific page, as you can see in the code.

   The "Structure" section displays the children pages dinamically. I tried to use the same code:

   is_page('child_of=9') where 9 is the id of the parent page but it doesn't works.

   What I try to accomplish, is echo class current to the li of the parent page, while on any of its subpages.

   Thanks for help.

   Why not just use the existing classes .current_page_parent and .current_page_ancestor?

   Thanks for info,

   I reduced the code to:
   

   <ul id="main_menu">
               <?php wp_list_pages('&title_li=&link_before=<span>&link_after=</span>&depth=0'); ?>
               </ul>

   and css is bit bigger now, because I had to reset more child elements but it works great.
