 Q:
How does one go about changing the parameter or the JavaScript so
 that a menu selection stays 'on' for the navigation bar script?
 In other words, the menu remains selected, perhaps in a background color
 that shows the user this menu choice is selected and the user is in the selected menu area.
 
 A:
To save your navigation path you should set the following parameter:
 
 var saveNavigationPath = 1;
 The menu keeps items highlighted during menu navigation.
 0 - disabled, 1 - enabled (default).
 
 You can highlight menu items by default in two ways:
 
 1) Set the pressed item on each page idividually using the following parameter:
 
 var pressedItem = -2;
 The toggle mode. Sets an index of an item that will be highlighted by default.
 -2 - the toggle mode is disabled;
 -1 - the toggle mode is enabled, but no items highlighted by default;
 0,1,2,3,... - index of highlighted item in a top-level menu.
 - delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
 - set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, for example:
 
 <noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
 <script type="text/javascript">var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript">var pressedItem=2;</script>
 ...
 <script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
 
 2) Set the pressed item/subitem using dm_ext_setPressedItem () function.
