Menu assistance . . .

[des55]

Please reference the below link . . .

I want to utilize this script/code, but wanted to know if there is a way that once the "link" is selected from the menu, that the respective parent and links remain open in the linked page via the navigation menu.

Example:

PARENT A
link1
link2
link3

PARENT B
link1
link2

If link1 is selected by PARENT A menu, I want the PARENT A menu with it's respective links (1, 2 & 3) to remain open in the selected "link1" page. Understand?

I intend on utilizing this code throughout a site, but cannot figure out how to do the said . . . ideas? help!

I can't follow the link you've provided but you would need to tie it in with an onload function.

The only way I know of doing this would mean that the menu would have to be confiigured like this:

function Menu(item) {
if (item== 'Parent1') {
open Parent1;
}
else if (item== 'Parent2') {
open Parent2;
}
else if (item== 'Parent3') {
open Parent3;
}
}

And then in the Parent1 pages you would have an element with id="Parent1". Parent2 pages with a id="Parent2" element etc.

The onload function would look like this:

function PageLoad () {
all your other onload stuff then;
if (document.getElementById('Parent1')) {
Menu('Parent1');
}
else if (document.getElementById('Parent2')) {
Menu('Parent2');
}
else if (document.getElementById('Parent3')) {
Menu('Parent3');
}
}
