Drop down navigation menu help

illyanawho

Help! So, far things are going well, but for one thing... When the submenu drops down and you click on the link, the submenu then disappears. I'm trying to code it, so that even when a submenu is clicked on, the menu hierarchy remains until another choice, outside that particular submenu is selected.

I've pasted the code, but you can also view it at http://www.frightmanor.com/index.php. Much appreciated!

Thanks!

What you need to do is to edit the link in the sub-sections to include the main_variable

eg.

if i click on about us, the url is index.php?aboutus=1

now when i click on committe members i am clicking the url 03commembers.php, this should be 03commembers.php?aboutus=1.

Kewl! Thanks for tip, that helped my code. Question however. What I'm attempting to do, is code it so that the menu stays stationary. So, for example, if you click on Festival Information and then chose pictures, the drop down menu would remain so that you don't have to hit back or click on it again. The link works fine, but submenu closes instead of remaining open (unless of course you hit the back button 🙂

Thanks.
