Updating Open Menu from External link - Cookie?

[codism]

1) Script Title:
Accordion Menu script (v1.7.1)

2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ddaccordionmenu.htm

3) Describe problem:

I've got the menu working correctly and everything is great.
However, I also have other links which are outside the accordion menu which go to the same pages within.

I'm using persistent menu's so when I jump into these pages from these link outside the accordion, the previous menu selected when last used the accordion is open.

I'm assuming I need to somehow update the cookie with the new location on the link... but no entirely sure how to do this.

Any help would be great.

Many thanks

Hmm not sure I fully understand what you're asking actually. If you're asking how to have a particular accordion menu header expanded based on the referring page's URL, you can use the "URL parameter feature (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ddaccordion_suppliment.htm)" (bottom of page) of the script (by adding ?headerclass=whatever) to the referring page's URL if you have access to the referring page. If not, you may be able to use the oninit() event handler (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ddaccordion_suppliment2.htm) of the script, along with JavaScript's document.referrer property, to try and detect the referring page's URL, and expand a header accordingly.

Great stuff!
Thanks a lot.

I put the URL parameter on the external links and it worked all perfectly.

Thanks again :)
