I am trying to figure out ( for days now ) if there is a way to keep the submenu open on the linked page when the user clicks it. the page is included
here is my code: ( shortened )
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
<!--
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background color: #d1daec;
font-family: helvetica;
font-size: 0.6em;
font-weight: bold;
}
#dl, dt, dd, ul, li {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
white-space: normal;
}
#menu {
position: static; /* Menu position that can be changed at will */
top: 105;
left: 2;
}
#menu {
width: 12em;
}
#menu dt {
cursor: pointer;
margin: 0;

line-height: 15px;
text-align: left;
font-weight: bold;
border: #d1daec;
background: #d1daec;
}
#menu dd {
border: #d1daec;
}
#menu li {
text-align: left;
background: #ffffff;
}
#menu li a, #menu dt a {
color: #d1daec;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
border: 0 none;
height: 100%;
}
#menu dt a:hover {
background: #ffffff;
}
#menu li a:hover {
background: #d1daec;
}
-->
</style>
