   Hi everybody!

   I have a problem with a Custom Menu which should display the title of the current parent link item.

   I have 2 navigations, one on the right side that looks like this:
   .link1
   .link2
   - sub1 |
   - sub2 |--- (edited with css to display:none;)
   - sub3 |
   .link3
   .link4
   .link5

   and one navigation which is a custom menu in the primary widged area that looks like this:
   .link1 |--- hidden
   .link2 |--- hidden
   - sub1
   - sub2
   - sub3
   .link3 |--- hidden
   .link4 |--- hidden
   .link5 |--- hidden

   what i´m trying to achive is that if i click on .link2 on the main navigation to the right. the parent item should be in the title of the custom menu, so it looks like this:

   link2 = title

   - sub1
   - sub2
   - sub3

   so basically above the sub pages it says where i came from.
   now the problem is i´m still quite new to PHP and i´m not sure how or where i have to make changes (or what to add to the functions.php)?!

   i was investigating already, but couldn´t get close. all i found was something like this:
   

   //Function for the functions.php file
   function is_child($pageID) {
       global $post;
       if( is_page() && ($post->post_parent==$pageID) ) {
                  return true;
       } else {
                  return false;
       }
   }
   
   //Code to check parenthood for template file
   if(is_child(343)) {
        echo " title ";
   }

   am i on the right track with that, or do i have to look for something else?!
   i hope somebody with more experience can give me a tip on that, would be nice.

   thanx!
