different background for whole menu by section

[admsh]

i'm trying to create a navigation with a different background for each section of the website. for this i need some kind of unique ID for the main UL element in the menu, by section (so it won't change on every page, just when a new section is selected).

for example, about us will have the ID "2" and contact us "3". all pages under about us will still generate the ID "2" for the main UL.

i hope this makes sense... is there a simple way of doing this?

So you want to change the background of the div menu is in depending on what page/section you are in?...

You can search forum for parent root or look in wiki under http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... _tags_here for the logic you will need, I've done this for many sites in many diff. divs...
