Yep! I just don't understand how to do the styles. If I add something to the external style sheet, if I add a style somehow where it adds the include, or if I add styles like I do a non-external style sheet and they cover the thing. I mean, literally where do I add the active/current designation?

Notes: (1) The link to the active page is disabled using "pointer-events:none" (2) The link cursor changes to the default pointer if the active page link is hovered. (3) CSS is also used to set the #layoutdims using the :after {content:"name";} (4) How you highlight the active page in #header is up to you; I've just used a reddish background-color. (5) The active class is not needed, as the links to each page are selected using - #header li:nth-of-type(#) a {css:value} Hope that helps; ask if in doubt.
