    So, I’ve gone over the ‘dynamic menu highlighting tutorial and made this work on my WordPress pages. Is there a way for me to make this work on a non-worpress website? Can one use the is_page() function outside of wordpress to pull off dynamic menu highlighting or is there a better way?

    No. It’s a WordPress conditional function. You could try adding the `current_page_item’ class to your non-WP page links.

    so my current dynamic menu highlighting works on every page except the home page. Here is my current code:

    <ul id="nav">
        <li<?php if (is_home()) { echo " class=\"current_page_item\""; }?>><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">Home</a></li>
		<?php
		if($kriesi_options['pagenav'] == 1){
		wp_list_pages('title_li=&'.$kriesi_options['com_page']);}
		else{
		wp_list_categories('title_li=&'.$kriesi_options['com_page']);
		}

		?>
        </ul>

    it looks like is_home() doesn’t see that it is the home page for some reason. What else could I use to have this work?

    Try is_front_page().
