Menus now highlight properly

I normally don't blog on the same blog twice a day - overkill and all that - but this has made a significant difference!

I said I'd be trying out the "alias" option to link the main menu to the top menu. I went through each item in the main menu, changed its type to "alias". In the screen that comes up you have a drop down box on the right where you choose the menu item to link it to. I linked each one to its twin in the top menu and now!!! when you select menu items, the choice is highlighted in the top menu, irrespective of which menu you picked it from!

This was a feature Guru Simon was telling me to implement last week! I had no idea how - it sounded to me like something that should happen automatically. As it rturns out, it was my ham-fisted first attempt at setting up the menus that put the kibosh on the function in the first place. I'll be doing all my menus by redirection from now on!

'Til next time
