Highlight top nav

I have menu with page match set:
[pre]
Cat 1 Cat2 cat 3
link11 link21
link12 link22
[/pre]
Where item22 is linked to js: top.Replace('something').

When click on link22, I would like to see "Cat2" is highlighted. But the page match won't work. Is there any function I can call in page22 to force Cat2 highlighted?

Thanks.

There could be any number of reasons why the highlighting wont work.

As always, it will help if we can see the problem, a test URL will be of great help

Cheers,

You may use milonic index page as an example: About Milonic >> About Us

change

Code:

aI("text=About Us;url=/aboutus.php;image=/menuimages/18_about.gif;");

Code:

function Replace(x){_d.location.href= (x==:junk")?"/aboutus.php":"#";}
aI("text=About Us;url=javascript:Replace('junk');image=/...");

When you click on "About Us", it won't be highlighted.

Another example will be: page url doesn't exist in the top navigation (milonic dhtml menu); I need in the particular page to call a JS function if exists any, to highlight the top navigation.

Is there such a function?

Menu data:

Code:

with(style1=new mm_style()){
..
pagebgcolor="transparent";
pagecolor="#BB7D00";
subimage="/images/arrow.gif";
high3dcolor="#CCCCCC";
low3dcolor="#CCCCCC";
..
}

with(milonic=new menuname("m2")){
..
aI("text=Online Shopping;showmenu=m2")
..
}
with(milonic=new menuname("m2")){
itemwidth=230;
style=style1;
aI("text=Orders;url=javascript:parent.ReplaceMain('order');");
aI("text=Check Out;url=javascript:parent.ReplaceMain('checkout');");
..
}

The actual url of "Orders" is PlaceYourOrder.aspx; that of "Check Out" is CheckOutNow.aspx.

When I click on "Orders", neighther "Online Shopping" or "Orders" is hightlighted.

I tried itemOn( getMenuByName("m2") ), even it's not what I want, it's still not working...
