Question about Menu widget

Hi,

I've been trying to use the menu widget to getting a particular menu link
highlighted but failed.

1) My "Menus.xml" file defined a menu named "header-bar" with menu-item
named "forum"
   
<menu name="header-bar" default-menu-item-name="forum" type="simple" 
            default-selected-style="selected" id="nav"
default-title-style="titleStyle">
        <menu-item name="nav-home" title="home">
            <link target="." id="nav-home"/>
        </menu-item>            
        <menu-item name="forum" title="forum">
            <link target="forum?forumId=${forumId}"/>
        </menu-item>
...

2) I try to highlighted the forum menu item and set the "headerItem" to
"forum" in the CommonScreens.xml > screen=main

                <set field="headerItem" value="forum"/>


3) But the HTML generated didn't have the style attribute (class="selected")
<ul>
  <li><a href="/control/." id="nav-home">home</a></li>
  <li><a href="/control/forum?forumId=">forum</a></li>
  <li><a href="/control/faq?faqId=">faq</a></li>
  <li><a href="/control/joinUs">join us</a></li>
  <li><a href="/control/contactUs">contact us</a></li>
</ul>

Anything I've done wrong?

Thanks
Mike

Ooops, I got it...

once I add back the 
'selected-menuitem-context-field-name="tabButtonItem"'

And mark the highlighted item as follow

<set field="tabButtonItem" value="forum"/>

I got the <li> with the class attribute

<li class="selected">
<a href="/control/forum?forumId=">forum</a>
</li>
