3) Describe problem:

Hi,

I am very new to scripting so any help would be much appreciated...

My problem is that I can't seem to get any of the submenu header a href links working (menuitem submenuheader). When I click on any of the submenus ("menuitem") they work perfectly but the submenu headers don't.

Also is there a way so that when I click on each of the menu items the div remains highlighted on that html page?

I hope this makes sense

Thank you.

Hmm it'll make things a lot easier if you can post a link to the problem page, so we can look at the issue live. Regarding:

Also is there a way so that when I click on each of the menu items the div remains highlighted on that html page?

Please do a search on the forums- this has been discussed quite a few times. In a nutshell, this is something that should be done on the server side.
