 * Hi
 * Can anyone offer some help with a problem I am having.
 * I have a sub navigation in my sidebar which i want to to be highlighted when 
   on that page (of course).
 * U can see it here: [http://paradoxbangkok.com](http://paradoxbangkok.com)
 * the sub nav:
 * GASTRONOMY
    EVENTS PROMOTIONS
 * when on one of these pages I want the background to be highlighted. I am familiar
   with dynamic menu highlighting
 *     ```
       <li<?php
       if (is_page('gastronomy'))
       {
       echo " id=\"current\">";
       ?>
       <a>/gastronomy">GASTRONOMY &raquo;</a>
       <?php
       }
       ?>
       ```
   
 * But that only works when I am on one of the sub nav pages. If I am on any other
   page the menu disappears. I suspect its something like an elseif statment. Basically,
   always show the subnav, but if on one of the pages in the subnav highlight it.
 * What am I missing? any thoughts would be great
 * Thanks
 * Rob
