There is no usual way to do this because you can have anything behind menu
item. So here is what I do in the same situations. Let say that we have
some categories listed in your navi. Every category must have unique ID so
in navi view pass some variable with that ID for example "foo = entry.pk"
Then in template you can do this
<li{% if foo == entry.id %} class="active"{% endif %}><a href="{{
entry.href }}">{{ entry.name }}</a></li>
hope it helps
