Remembering menu status after changing page

[ixnay]

Hi guys

Great menu script, thanks!

So, I have a collapsed menu:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzwyGYY9948CRUpxZG9nY3Y3WDA/view

Is it possible that, when you change to another page, the page reopens with the last opened options instead of opening the menu with the initial status (everything closed)?

Thanks!

Nevermind, I have found a way using cookies / bind events / Jquery show&hide.

Hi, i need the same thing with my menu. But i don’t know how to achieve this. When i click on a menu option, the link loads the new html but when i come back using the back button or a link, the menu option should remain deployed.

Can you help me? or share part of your code?

Thanks!

Roberto: each time you open up a menu (bind event show) set up a JS cookie with the sub-menu that was opened. Each time you open a page, check if there’s a cookie set up for a menu option and open it through Jquery. Clear the cookie every time a sub-menu is closed.

Ixnay, can you be so kind and share an example for this newbie 🙂

I try with this code but i can’t get it work (i use a cookie example from w3c):

function setCookie(cname,cvalue,exdays) {
var d = new Date();
d.setTime(d.getTime() + (exdays*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = “expires=” + d.toGMTString();
document.cookie = cname+”=”+cvalue+”; “+expires;
}

function getCookie(cname) {
var name = cname + “=”;
var ca = document.cookie.split(‘;’);
for(var i=0; i<ca.length; i++) {
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0)==’ ‘) c = c.substring(1);
if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) {
return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
}
}
return “”;
}

function checkCookie() {
var user=getCookie(“username”);
if (user != “”) {
// activate the item and focus it
$(‘#main-menu’).smartmenus(‘itemActivate’, $(‘a#’ + user));
$(‘a#’ + user)[0].focus();
// alert(“id menu ” + user);
} else {
user = prompt(“Please enter your menu option:”,””);
if (user != “” && user != null) {
setCookie(“username”, user, 30);
}
}
}
