Is there a way to have a particular submenu open on a page when the page loads?

Use of "Always Visible"

Further to my question...

I've tried the "Always Visible" bit, and it opens a submenu when the page loads, but it stays open (makes sense) even when another menu is displayed over it. If the other menu is smaller/shorter, then the always visible one shows behind it.

So the real question may be: Is there any way to have a submenu open when a page loads, but then close if another submenu is selected?

You could try using the poup() function.

popup("menuname") will open a menu at it's specified location and close once another menu opens.

Where to put popup("menuname")?

Thanks, Andy.

I put:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
popup("realestate");
//-->
</script>

right after the lines that load the menu "js" files in the body of the page, and that pops up the submenu. However, when I hover over another main menu item, which brings up a different submenu, the "realestate" submenu is still there, under the other menu.

Essentially, the open submenu is not closing once another menu opens.

Am I using popup() in the wrong place, or in an incorrect manner?
