Highlight mainmenu when on suppage

Hi...

I've tried searching for a solution, but no luck.

Is it possible to hightlight the item on the main menu, when I'm on the subpage to that item?

Example:
My main menu contains these items:
Home - Download - Info

Home and Info has no subitems, downloads has:
Search - Categories

When I click Search I go to the searchpage and the Item Search is highlighted in my menu according to the manual, but not Downloads?

How can I make the mainmenu items be highlighted, when a subitem to it is clicked?

Hope it makes sense...

Regards
Thomas

Hi,

Are you using the page properties in the style for that main menu? If you are and it's not showing, I need to see your page.

I'm using "pagematch":

aI("text=  Forum  ;url=/forum;showmenu=Forum; pagematch=/forum/active_topics.asp;pagematch=/forum/my_topics.asp; pagematch=/forum/search_form.asp;pagematch=/forum/search.asp; pagematch=/forum/my_topics.asp;pagematch=/forum/active_topics.asp;pagematch=/forum/empty_topics.asp;");

But it's only working on some of the submenus...
Is there af limit?

Hi,

Try just setting the pagematch to /forum/ That should show a match to any page under that forum subfolder.

This is kind of hard to do from just a post here. It would be much easier if I could see your page and click on the links and see what's going on.

I know it would be easier, but I'm working on a closed site.

But the the /forum/ did the trick!
Thanks!!!
