Navbar link to stay highlighted in popup menu

[Bloopie webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I created popup menus using Fireworks. Everything is working fine. Now I would like the heading to be highlighted after a submenu item is selected and a new page opens up. Is there an easy way to do this in Fireworks? See referring URL for an example of what I mean.

That is, when 'Manufacturing' is selected under "Industries", a page opens up and "Industries" stays highlighted in blue.

Thanks!

Using the tech document listed above, I was able to make this work. Thanks for the suggestion (and the original question). One question, though.

The tech document suggests that the "function MM_swapImgRestore()" line be removed the .shtml file and placed in placed in the mm_menu.js file. "MM_swapImgRestore();" is then to be removed from the onMouseOut code. Fair enough, but what if not all of the buttons in the nav bar actually have pop menus? In my case, four buttons had pop-ups, one just had a rollover. The "MM_swapImgRestore();" line was the only function assigned to the onMouseOut code, so removing it would leave no MouseOut function at all for that button. I tried many different configurations with these elements, but no luck. Is there a way to make simple rollovers and pop-up menus behave together and still have the buttons stay on when moving the cursor to a pop-up menu?

Thanks,

In that case I would probably export multiple files and work at it that way.
In other words, have one file with the buttons that have the pop-up menus
and export it separately from the files that have simple rollovers. That way
you can build the menu in Dreamweaver and still retain the button states the
way you want.
