It seems that this discussion is concentrating on the difference between online/offline, cached/remote, local/external links. However the original poster was simply looking for an easy solution to style links that point to the *current* page, to make menu bars easier to design, not for indicating cached pages for offline browsing. For example: Home News Screenshots Download Four links, if I am currently looking at the News page, the link to the News page should be styled in some different fashion. Currently that would require different menu markup on each page, or some other method to distinguish them. With :here or :current, one CSS rule would suffice and the menu markup could be static on every page as it should be. Michael
