I was hard at work on a recent website when I came across an interesting issue, you see I wanted to use a primary menu at the top as main navigation for the website. No dropdowns or anything fancy, just a smooth top horizontal navigation bar.
Additionally, I have a different menu (could one of several options) displayed along the right side based on the content being shown. Now I want my primary menu to display as 'active' when I am somewhere deep within the site on a page that the primary menu has no idea about. So, I want my primary navigation menu item to be active, even tho it has no idea what page I am on.
