I wish I could help you, perhaps you can help me.  How did you get the anchor tags in the HouseMenu to have their own unique id tags in the first place.  I just installed the HouseMenu Module 1.4.1 beta and I'm just getting plain ul / li anchor structure with no id tags!  ACK!

superdmon check the DNN forums I replied there, but I will do so here as well. If I am not mistaken your using the module which just reads the page structure and creates an unordered lists. While if you use the skinobject each list item is an instance of the housemenu skinobject. In asp.net you cannot have 2 controls that have the same id. Thusly DNN creates / increments each instance of a control automatically. The module itself will have a unique id but the contents inside don't need unique id's cause they are nested inside the HouseMenu module and technically are not skinobjects, but really no different then an unordered list in the html/textbox module. The house module just does the leg work on reading the page structure.

To the OP, I  have the same issue and have had no luck so far. What I did to help resolve my problem was create a skin for my home page and a skin for rest. What this allows me to do is when the user visits the homepage skin the css sets the homemenu item to the styling I want. When the user navigates away from the home page my "normal" skin is then used and I turn off the styling for the homepage and use CurrentNav to set my styling.

Let me know if you need a bit more details.
