&selfClass not working

I have a template with almost nothing in it apart from a Top Navigation Menu using Wayfinder.

I almost have this figured out and am amazed at how powerful WF is.
To show people which section of the site they are browsing, I am using thr &selfClass
parameter and have called it `iamhere`

My Wayfinder is as follows

<div id="topnav">
 [!Wayfinder?startId=`0` &level=`1` &rowClass=`topnav` &selfClass=`iamhere`!]
  </div>

MY problem is 2 fold.
1. Wayfinder keeps on applying a class ’active’ when I want it called ’iamhere’.
2. Assuming ’iamhere’ is working, do I have my CSS below set up correctly?

My CSS is as follows

#topnav .iamhere {
	background-color:#9C0;
	color: #960;
}


#topnav{
	background-color: #036;
	height: 52px;
			}


#topnav{
	font: normal 15px;
	width: 700px;
	font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
}



#topnav li{
display: inline;
}

#topnav li a{
	float: left;
	color: #CCC;
	padding: 16px 25px; /*padding of tabs*/
	text-decoration: none;
	background-color:#036;
	border-right: solid 1px #039;
}



#topnav li a:visited{
	color: #CCC;
}

#topnav li a:hover{
	color: #FFF;
	background-color: #002B82;
       /*background-image: url(../images/pinkbgover.gif);background image swap on hover*/
}

Hi,
I think I see what you mean here. With &selfClass, you’d like the class to apply only to the exact item, rather than the item and its parents.

&hereClass is "active" by default, though, and I think that’s what’s happening. If you want to get rid of all instances of "active", try adding this to your call:

&hereClass=``

As to whether your CSS will work, I’d really have to see the site, but it might be OK. If not, try something very specific such as:

#topnav li.iamhere a {
background-color:#9C0;
color: #960;
}

Good luck, Dave
