 * Hi folks,
 * I’m having problems with my sidebar navigation in my new theme. I’ve been trying
   various menu systems, and have found a tree style menu that I like. It works 
   on some javascript and has some great features.
 * My problem is that whenever I navigate to a new page, a category or article for
   example, my menu collapses its self back to its original state which doesn’t 
   make it too user friendly. It has lots of configurable options within the javascript,
   one of which is a function to remember which menu brances are open and suchlike
   either via the url of the page coresponding to a link in the menu, or a cookie
   system. Using php to call the page and article lists, the url function won’t 
   work, but when I try either that or the cookie, the menu works fine on the first
   page and then seaces to function on any other pages.
 * How do people get such nice menus that remember where the user is and persist
   in their state on page reload?
 * Should I just download some other themes and try pinching stuff from them instead?
   I imagined somehow making a new menu would be easier than that.
 * Any suggestions atall would be most welcome!
    Cheers Mr Cat
