Highlight menu item and its submenu item

Question

I have this css code and I need to do this: I have a dropdown menu with 5 items. Item1 (root) -Item2 -Item3 -Item4 -Item5

When I'm inside the page for example "Item4" I need that the "Item4" menu item and the "Item1 (root)" menu item are highlighted with a same color.

Thanks so much.

Answer 1

In my CSS file, "active" class has highlighting css values like

"background-color: #FFFFFF" 

I'm using these in each page:

<script>
    document.getElementById("PAGE_MENU_NAME_1").className = "active";
</script>

OR

<script>
    document.getElementById("PAGE_MENU_NAME_2").className = "active";
</script>

OR

<script>
    document.getElementById("PAGE_MENU_NAME_3").className = "active";
</script>

Use one of above for which page you are viewing.

This is my master page like "Menu.php"

<ul id="menu">
   <li id="PAGE_MENU_NAME_1"><a href="page1.php">PAGEMENUNAME1"</a></li>
   <li id="PAGE_MENU_NAME_1"><a href="page2.php">PAGEMENUNAME2"</a></li>
   <li id="PAGE_MENU_NAME_3"><a href="page3.php">PAGEMENUNAME3"</a></li>
</ul>

I hope you get what I said.

Answer 2

(this style is already in stylesheet around line 275, so just need to add background color)

.de-menu .current-menu-parent a {
 background: #64483E;
}

(this would be to add to style sheet):

.de-menu .current-menu-parent .sub-menu .current-menu-item a {
 background: url("../images/dotblack30.png") #513D32;
}
