keeping parent nav "active" and parent's subnav showing

[Ruud]

If you use the default settings in show_menu2 (generating the standard classes) you should have a menu-parent class whenever you are in a child-page. You should use that to highlight the parent of the current page.

Something like:

Code (CSS code to higlight a top-menu) Select Expand


#nav li.menu-current , #nav li.menu-parent {
  background: #a1a2a4;
}
should work.

In my menu structure, I am having root navigation across the top with sub-navigation along the left side. Right now, it's working where if I have sub-pages for a page, the sub-navigation shows up just fine.

My problem is, if I click on one of the sub pages, the "active" state on the top navigation goes away, and so does the sub-nav menu.

I'm using show_menu2. Is there a way to tell a page to keep its parent sub-navigation as well as the active state on the parent's menu link?
