Pagematch was/is working in v5.07. We publish at night so I don't have v5.09 on our live servers yet but Pagematch is not working on our development server running v5.09 of the menu.

Here is my menu code:


The page URL containes only part of the pagematch code:


This did not present a problem before but now the menu is not highlighted. Any ideas about what has changed?

There were some additional bug fixes in this area. See http://www.milonic.com/menuvinfo.php for details. Possibly those fixes have uncovered something new.

It looks like a problem with your code that the new menu has showed up because it is actually working properly now.

You are trying to match &state=AL but your url is ourstory/locations/state.asp?state=AL The text &state=AL isn't found in the url.

Try: pagematch=state=AL; instead

That did the trick. Thank you.

The ampersand is part of the URL but I guess you are saying that it is used by the ASP code and not part of the physical address. I am a designer not a developer so I could be way off but I believe I understand. I am still having issues with the Pagematch code but I am attributing this to a browser specific, or designer specific, problem and not with the menu code. Everything seems to be working great now.

Once again, thank you for your help.
