I can get this to work in the sample site. However I m trying to ad this to an existing site. It does not work. Do you have any trouble shooting advice?

Thank you so much for this! I haven't been keeping the navigation bar active because I didn't know how to do this. I've looked forever, and now I finally have it working. Although I still don't know if I understand all I could really do with templates... Thank you so much for the article! Check it our at www.wildbackpacker.com!

Thanks. This article was not only well written, it also solved a problem I have just spent several hours trying to figure out.

I have a modification, that perhaps is useful for people who also uses different submenu's for each page

Instead of writing "here" I make the editable class a boolean true/false with false as default. I then position all the submenus vertically downwards by putting them all in the same left/right floated box. For each of these submenus I make an optional region with the same name as the page they should be put in.

Now, only the submenu's corresponding to the active menu will be shown.
