Navigation: submenu trail, no "active" on first link

I use the standard navigation module. The navigation looks like this:

Code:

---

<ul class="level_1">
<li class="first">link1
<li class="submenu trail">link2
    <ul class="level_2">
    <li class="active first">link3
    <li class="sibling">link4[/list]
[/list]

---

The first link in the submenu is active and has class "active". So far so good, I give every active link an underline using the "active" class.

This is the problem:

Code:

---

<ul class="level_1">
<li class="first">link1
<li class="submenu trail">link2
    <ul class="level_2">
    <li class="sibling first">link3
    <li class="sibling">link4[/list]
[/list]

---

Link2 is selected, but there's no "active" class... This happens only when this link has a submenu.

Why is the "active" class not shown?

I cannot use the "trail" class as this class is added to all links inside an open submenu, so then all have an underline.

:cry:

Have you modified the standard navigation subtemplate? By default, Contao uses the "nav_default" subtemplate when you add a new front end module of type "Navigation menu".

I found the problem...

The first item wasn't properly forwarded, so the menu didn't build correctly.

I corrected the site structure and now it works well : )

:shock:
