ExpressionEngine allows you to dynamically assign CSS navigation based on arguments passed from the URL segment.
This allows you to use CSS to display the active page based on the URL.
<a href="/about/" class="{if segment_1 == "about"}about about-active{if:else}about{/if}"></a>
This is just one method that you can use to your advantage.
As always there is more than one way/use for everything in ExpressionEngine!

U also can use segment_1, segment_2 and etc. For instance, if u have ‘forum’ folder and ‘viewthread’ template group u must in index template get {segment_2} and it will be ‘151359’. In general, if EE can not find template in template group it use index template.
