I was able to try that code and it works if the end of the menu is a URL, which makes sense as that's how the sample is setup.

Is there any way this code could display text instead of a URL? Such as in sample.html, instead of going to cnet.com the iframe just displays the text "cnet.com"?

Thanks for your help!
