Solved it!!! really stupid! I knew it would be something like this. I removed class="active" on home, now it works. Seems django was resetting to default base.html settings. It doesn't do this in straight HTML. So now I'll have to set the home active onload dynamically.
hope this tip helps someone. <ul id="nav"> <li class="home"><a class="active" href="/ home/"><span>Home</span></a></li> <li class="about"><a class="" href="/about/"><span>About</ span></a></li> <li class="work"><a class="" href="/work/"><span>Work</ span></a></li> <li class="blog"><a class="" href="/blog/"><span>Blog</ span></a></li> <li class="contact"><a class="" href="/ contact/"><span>Contact</span></a></li> </ul> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
