sub menu trigger

Hey Jason

I have created a menu with a sub menu set which works fine except for the trigger for the sub menu

If I use the menu like this and the 'Services' is the trigger for the drop down, the focus styling is applied to both the services menu item as well as another page that you are on (see attached image 1.jpg)

<ul class="level-0" id="cssmw">
		<li class="parent"><a href="../<?php echo($Homepage->getColumnVal("URL")); ?>">Home</a></li>
		<li><a href="../about.php">About</a></li>
		<li><a href="../#">Services</a>
				<ul class="level-1">
						<li><a href="../web-design.php">Web Design & Development</a></li>
						<li ><a href="../graphic-design.php">Graphic Design</a></li>
				</ul>
		</li>
		<li><a href="../blog.php">Blog</a>
		<li><a href="../portfolio.php">Portfolio</a>
		<li><a href="../contact.php">Contact</a>
</ul>

the only way to stop this from happening, it seems, is to have change the # for any text (even if its not a valid URL)- the only problem with that is that it then looks at it as a URL and tries to take you to trhat 'page'

what do I need to do to get round this so that the Services item is only a trigger and not a link?

Cheers

There is not a way around it.

The highlighting effect looks at the page name in the link

# is a short hand for current page, that is why it is highlighting.

you create a services home page to link the services menu item to .

thats what I thought... thanks for confirming

Jamie

you're welcome.
