Hi,

I am wondering if this is possible or not.

I have the standard navigation "Home", "About Us", "Our Services", "News and Promotions".

I have created a new page called "Community", however I only want "Community" to appear in the menu only if you are on the "Community" page, the "Community" page would not appear in the menu if you were on the "About Us" page. Would this be possible?

Many thanks,

Dane

I must be misunderstanding what you want to do.

The menu is the prime tool to allow a user to navigate the site.  If Community does not appear in the menu, how does the user get there?  When they are there, they don't really need it in the menu.

What am I missing?
Best wishes,

 Hi Richard,

The user would get to the Community part of the website by clicking on links throughout the website, one of which would be on the homepage. Once the user is on the "Community" part of the website the navigation would include a "Community" link which  would include sub areas within a drop down on hovering over "Community" to navigate to other parts of the "Community" section. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,

Dane

I'm not seeing the value in hiding 'Community'.

If there is a link to it on the home page, how is that different to a link to it from the menu in the home page?

I'm not convinced that it's a great idea.  If I really wanted to do it, then I think I would try this approach.  Read this blog post - http://www.thinkofdesign.com/blog/83/... - and put the ideas into your site's skin.  Then you can add a bit of CSS that targets the menu item, when you are NOT on the Community page and applies somthing like display:none; to the menu item.
