make hand coded menu dynamic
- 
		I have made a static menu and need it to be dynamic in that I need the selective menu item to have a background color. The problem is that the menu items are not static links but dynamic links made with 
 <a href="activity/just-me/”>My Wall</a>so in my header.php I have: <a href="activity/just-me/”>My Wall <a href="activity/friends/”>My Friends' Activities</a> <a href="profile/edit/group/1″>Edit My Profile</a>and I am trying to style it with (also in header.php) `<?php 
 if ( is_page(‘just-me’)) { $current = ‘one’; }
 elseif ( is_page(‘friends’) ) { $current = ‘one’; }
 elseif ( is_page(‘1′) ) { $current = ‘one’; }
 ?># { 
 background-color: yellow;
 }
 `Of course this does not work because the page names are not; “just-me”, “friend”, “1” these are part of the page slug names. is there a way to write 
 `<?php
 if ( is_page(‘just-me’)) { $current = ‘one’; }
 elseif ( is_page(‘friends’) ) { $current = ‘one’; }
 elseif ( is_page(‘1′) ) { $current = ‘one’; }
 ?>`that inputs the slug? i.e something like: `<?php 
 if ( is_page(slug(‘just-me’))) { $current = ‘one’; }
 elseif ( is_page(slug(‘friends’)) ) { $current = ‘one’; }
 elseif ( is_page(slug(‘1′)) ) { $current = ‘one’; }
 ?>`Thanks
