I'm currently using the House menu and think highly of it.  However, I'm not sure how to configure it to solve this problem and perpahs it can't be.  If there is another menu that can do this I'm all over it.

I have two menus on the page.  One if vertical and configured to show the top level menu pages only.  When you click on one of the top menu choices another menu becomes visible (horizontal) and it contains the second level menu pages.

TOP LEVEL (parent) MENU

                <dnn:HOUSEMENU id="HouseMenu1" runat="server"
                    Scope="-1"
                    ShowAdmin="True"
                    ShowHidden="False"
                    ShowHome="False"
                    IsRecursive="False"
                    Orientation="V"
                    Mode="S"
                />

SECOND LEVEL (child) MENU

                    <dnn:HOUSEMENU id="HouseMenu2" runat="server"
                        Scope="0"
                        ShowAdmin="False"
                        ShowHidden="False"
                        ShowHome="False"
                        ShowParent="False"
                        IsRecursive="True"
                        Orientation="H"
                        Mode="S"
                    />

Scenario:

Click on the top level menu to display the child pages in the second level menu.  Click on the second level menu to display the page associated with the choice on the second level menu.

Desired behavior:

The top level menu choice will be highlighted as the current page (even though it is really the parent of the current page) and the second level menu choice will be highlighted (as it actually is the current page).

What I'm getting:

Everything is good when I click on the top level menu.  The secondary level menu displays the children of the top level choice and the top level choice is highlighted.  When I click on the secondary menu the top level choice is no longer highlighted and the secondary menu disappears.  I presume the top level menu is no longer highlighted because the page being displayed is not one of the choices on the top level menu (it is a child of the top menu choice).  I presume the secondary menu has disappeared because it displays the children of the current page and the current page is a child page with no children.

Is there any way with the House menu or any other menu to get what I want?

Thanks,

BK

Hi there,

By default the Housemenu will not identify the selected parent menu. In this case you can either purchase a  better module such as Snapsis menu or you may try our free menu at www.dnnpages.com

the skin menu object we provide is most likely with the Housemenu patterns, but with the extra feature shows the selected parent menus.
Please read the documentation on how to use the menu for more details.

Thank you very much.

I will download your menu and work with it to see if it will do what I want.
