Try something like this

string state = Model.NodeTypeAlias == "DocTypeA"? "class=current_item":"";
<li @state">
        <a href="/">Home</a>
    </li>  

Hmm, I cannot figure it out...

Hi Jens,

Something like this should do it for you.

@inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext

@{
    @*Get the root of the website *@
    var root = Model.AncestorOrSelf(1);
}

<ul class="navigation_items" id="Navigation">
   
  @{ var homeActive = ""; }

    @if(root.Id == Model.Id){
        homeActive = "current_item";
    }
   <li class="@homeActive>
        <a href="@root.Url">@root.Name</a>
    </li>  
    @foreach (var page in root.Children.Where("Visible"))
    {
        <li class="@page.IsAncestorOrSelf(Model, "current_item", "")">
            <a href="@page.Url">@page.Name</a>
        </li>
    }
</ul>

And you don´t need to hardcode the URL and name of the frontpage item. You can use the @root.Url to get the URL and @root.Name to get the name.
