## "You are here" with JavaScript

View this technique in action.
Example in JSFiddle

1. Each `body` is uniquely identified (`id`)
2. Each navigation list item gets an `id`
3. CSS rule for `id="iamhere"`
4. JavaScript to set the "iamhere" `id`

Note the `id` of the `body`:

    <html>
        <head>
            <title>Election of Pine Tree Chiefs (Constitution of the Iroquois Nations)</title>
            <link rel="stylesheet"  href="style.css" />
          </head>
          <body id="part3">
            <?php include("inc/header.php"); ?>
            <?php include("inc/nav.php"); ?>
            <main>
              <?php include("inc/content3.php"); ?>
            <main>
            <?php include("inc/footer.php"); ?>
          </body>
        </html>

Each navigation item has an `id`:

    <nav id="navigation">
        <ul id="mainnav">
        <li id="navpart1"><a href="1.shtml">The Great Binding Law, Gayanashagowa</a></li>
        <li id="navpart2"><a href="2.shtml">Rights, Duties and Qualifications of Lords</a></li>
        <li id="navpart3"><a href="3.shtml">Election of Pine Tree Chiefs</a></li>
        <li id="navpart4"><a href="4.shtml">Names, Duties and Rights of War Chiefs</a></li>
        <li id="navpart5"><a href="5.shtml">Clans and Consanguinity</a></li>
        <li id="navpart6"><a href="6.shtml">Official Symbolism</a></li>
        <li id="navpart7"><a href="7.shtml">Laws of Adoption</a></li>
        <li id="navpart8"><a href="8.shtml">Laws of Emigration</a></li>
        <li id="navpart9"><a href="9.shtml">Rights of Foreign Nations</a></li>
        <li id="navpart10"><a href="10.shtml">Rights and Powers of War</a></li>
        <li id="navpart11"><a href="11.shtml">Treason or Secession of a Nation</a></li>
        <li id="navpart12"><a href="12.shtml">Rights of the People of the Five Nations</a></li>
        <li id="navpart13"><a href="13.shtml">Religious Ceremonies Protected</a></li>
        <li id="navpart14"><a href="14.shtml">The Installation Song</a></li>
        <li id="navpart15"><a href="15.shtml">Protection of the House</a></li>
        <li id="navpart16"><a href="16.shtml">Funeral Addresses</a></li>
        </ul>
        </nav>

And the CSS:

    #navigation a {
          /* Rules for navigation items */
        }
        #navigation a:hover {
          /* Rules for navigation items */
        }

        /* Rules specific for "you are here" */
        #navigation #iamhere a,
        #navigation #iamhere a:hover {
          /* Rules for the "you are here" item */
        }

And the JavaScript (using jQuery) that finds the correct navigation item and sets the `id` attribute value to "iamhere":

    $(document).ready(function(){
          var mybodyid = $('body').attr('id');
          var mynavid = '#nav' + mybodyid;
          /* e.g. for 3.shtml:
              mybodyid is 'part3'
              mynavid  is '#navpart3'
           */
          $(mynavid).attr('id','iamhere');
        });
