Hi,

My guess is that you need to declare some pagematch colors but without actually seeing your menu cannot say for sure.

If you can give us a URL of where the menu is, I'll be able to say for sure what the problem/solution is.

Cheers,
Andy

Hi sk,

Pagebgcolor and pagecolor are the properties which show the 'breadcrumb' i.e. where you are in the menu. Since you have those declared in the style they will apply to all items in the 'active' path. Try removing those from the menuStyle and place them in the items you want to show highlighting and see if that works.

Code:
aI("text=Rechnungswesen;url=rechnungswesen.php;pagecolor=#000033;")


Also, if you want all of them to have the pagecolor when they are clicked, you probably need to put it into each aI string for every page.

I think that should work. If it highlights all the way back [which I don't think it should] try adding pagematch=http:// page url to the aI string also.

This is the problem i don't want the 'breadcrumb'.
The menu shuld only highlight the page where i'am and not the active path. Where can i disable this ?

I have posted a question to Milonic and will post back here when I get a response, since I haven't been able to figure out how you partially disable page highlighting.

Hi sk,

I am still trying to find something. You might try contacting Milonic asking how to only match the item that is clicked and not the full path when using pagecolor.

Hi,

When you purchased the menu there should have been some information provided you about contacting Milonic.

Hi,

I think I've finally grasped what you need.

I've added a new property called disablePagePath to the Pre Release version of the menu (this will be released soon) that will hopefully give you the required functionality.

Please download the Pre Release version of the menu from http://www.milonic.com/menuvinfo.php and also add the following to the top of your menu_data.js file:

disablePagePath=true;

Hope this helps
