[Radiant] if_ancestor_or_self returns true for siblings?

[Stuart Henry]

Hi all,

I'm new to RadiantCMS, so my apologies if this has been answered
elsewhere...

My basic page structure is something like:

* Home
** Events
*** Calendar
** Membership
*** Join
** Gallery
** Resources

I'm using <r:if_ancestor_or_self>...</r:if_ancestor_or_self> within the
primary navigation list (Events | Membership | Gallery | Resources) to apply
a style to the primary nav items if the current page is a descendent of that
page.

The problem is that if_ancestor_or_self seems to be returning true for
sibling links, so if I'm at /events/calendar all of the navigation links
contain the class that is being applied within the
block <r:if_ancestor_or_self>...</r:if_ancestor_or_self>.

Am I missing something with the use of if_ancestor_or_self? Thanks for any
help,

--
Stu

I'm not sure about the r:if_ancestor_or_self tag, but an alternative would
be to use

<r:if_url matches="^/parent/">class="active"</r:if_url>

within your menu items. That's what I'm doing.
