Hi All,

Well, what sounded easy is turning into a pain for me.  I have very basic HTML and javascript skills so please bear with me.

Based on my sample HTML code above anchor.parentNode.tagName only returns the element LI.  Also, since I am only looping the anchors I never seem to reach any DIV tag.

To Danny, I looked at your sample page but the problem for me is that the Item2-Sub# could be 3 levels deep or more in the future.  Your sample only seems to look up 1 level.

As an example:
I double click on Item2-Sub3 page.  This loads the browser with that page loaded in my display frame.  The menu frame is loaded with the correct menu item selected BUT it is hidden.  I have to click on Item2 to show/expand the 3 sub-levels.  When I show/expand Item2 the correct Item2-Sub3 menu item is selected, as it should.  Using anchor.parentNode.tagName at this point only returns the LI element.

So, does this mean I am not coding the HTML or javascript correctly?  Maybe a little example will help me.


Thanks for any help,

Charles
