 * I am trying to get a menu like the admin menu setup on my frontpage. My only 
   problem is I can’t get it so that when a submenu item is active that the perant
   menu is also active.
 * The URL to my site is [http://www.swanlakchurch.org/](http://www.swanlakchurch.org/)
 * Here is the code for my menu:
 *     ```
