# MenuHighlighter.js

## What It Looks Like

<figure><img src="/files/9frA04ww9kO5NEFvJyTl" alt=""><figcaption><p>Screenshot of MenuHighlighter.js being used to create a lavender "selected" color to the About page of a Softr site.</p></figcaption></figure>

## How To Use It

In your site settings **Code Inside Footer** section, put the following code:

```
<script src="https://scissors.appspan.net/MenuHighlighter/MenuHighlighter.js">
```

## How to Customize It

Add the following before the `<script src=>` tag:

```
<script>
const MenuHighlighter = {backgroundColor: "#FF0000"};
</script>
```

## What It Does

It looks for an `<nav>` element in the DOM, and then makes a list of all the `<a>` elements underneath the `<nav>` element. For each `<a>`, it checks to see if the slug of the current page starts with the `href` attribute of the link. When it finds one that does, that means it has found the link corresponding to the current page, and it sets the `<a>`'s background color to the specified color. In its search for `<a>` tags, it skips the home page.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://scissors-docs.appspan.net/menuhighlighter.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
