Hi,

I have searched the forum for an answer on the possibility to highlight the parent menu for the current page set by a submenu. I could not find an answer, thus this message.

Is this something that the menu is supposed to / capable of doing?

Thanks,

Erwin

If I understand the question correctly, the answer is in the menu_array.js file:

"yellow", // Current Page Item Font Color (leave this blank to disable)
"000000", // Current Page Item Background Color (leave this blank to disable)

Paul,

I guess I did not explain it correctly. What I need is the parent menu(s) of a particular active page to be highlighted as well as the submenu that points to the active page:

MainMenuItem
¦
¦___SubMenu1Item
¦
¦___SubMenu2Item

If I select SubMenu2Item I would like to see the MainMenuItem and the SubMenu1Item highlighted as well. With this, the visitor will recognise that the page that he is looking at belongs to the MaimMenuItem "branch".

Example:

Company -> Team -> Peter

Visitor is looking at Peter's page and Company is highlighted. He immediately knows that Peter's page is part of the Company section of the site.

This is particularly useful if you have to describe several products or services.

I hope this is clearer now.

Thanks,

Erwin
