Nav Bar unique down state w/ inline frames

Hello. I will do my best to explain my problem, so please bear with me. Here it
goes:
I have already created a nav bar in Fireworks MX 2004 that works fine.
However, I would like the tab that links to the page that the user is currently
on to remain a different color from the rest of the tabs, so that the user
knows exactly what page they're on at all times. For example, a guest to my
website clicks on the "Resources" tab, which takes them to the "Resources"
page, and when the page loads, the "Resources" tab on the link bar is a
different color than the rest. To further complicate the matter, I'm using
inline frames to display the html page generated by Fireworks. When I talked to
Macromedia tech support, they said that they didn't believe that there was a
way to get this to work, or at least without adding some fancy html code, which
I'm not very familiar with. If you know of a way to get this to work, or would
like me to clarify anything, please let me know! Hope to hear back from someone
soon!

Thanks,
Greg

Greg,

You didn't state where the links are being targeted. I'm assuming the
buttons are loading the links inside the iFrame? I don't think this would be
to hard to do but I would need to know where the links are targeted.

Thanks for bringing this up, Trent, and sorry I forgot to mention this. The
buttons are loading the links in a new page, but each page, regardless of
what's on it, has (currently) the same NavBar.html file beng displayed in an
iFrame at the top of the page. Hope ths helps!

The iFrame is used to display the menu and that's all? When a link is
clicked it opens a new page in the same browser window, which has another
iFrame with the very same NabBar.html?

Would need to see how you have your navbar implemented, how your images are
named etc.. Do you have these pages online?
