Hi folks,

I'm trying to build a dynamic navigation so I don't have to put variables in every page. I'm super
rusty in ASP so I'm having some trouble. 

I have a simple styled UL that is a horizontal navigation. To indicate the current page I throw an
ID on the HREF.

So using ASP like this:

<%
scriptname = request.servervariables("script_name")
%>

I can get my path where the page rests:

/blah/Handbook/Deployment/somepage.asp

The key think I need to get is "Deployment" out of these URLs - that is the section they are in.
How in ASP can I test for deployment so I can indicate the correct LI item as current?

Psuedo code I want is:

if
  url contains "Deployment"
then
  LI item deployment gets "current" ID
end if

TIA

Tom
