Hello, what about using the category ID instead?

<?php echo $item->category_id ;?>

Hi, thank you for your kind reply, Nope I need the alias, tried the id, style classes cant be numbers.

So I can't get the alias? Regards.

I just had a quick look with PHP print_r and browser search...
The Alias seem to be inside URLs only!? But I could have missed something.

You might also use the category name, but you have to strip all unwanted characters and formatting.

I would use the ID. It is unique! Just add a static prefix like catid- or category- or anything you see fit ;)
