DropDownMenuDisplayer always closes menus

[neilNN]

I'm trying to use the DropDownMenuDisplayer to display my menu.  It displays and works OK, calling the appropriate actions when I click on items.

The problem is that most of my pages have the same menus, but whenever I navigate to a new page it collapses the menus previously opened.  I would like it to retain the state - is this possible?  

Ideally it would retain the entire state of all open menus items, but I would happy if it could just retain open the single menu from which the item was clicked.

Any suggestions or ideas?

The ListDisplayer does this by using a Cookie - you might want to look
at the JavaScript for that menu to see how it's done.

Expand a menu and then refresh the page to see it in action.

Thanks for the pointer - all I had to do was include the cookie script in may pages, and everything now behaves as I want:

  <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/cookies.js" />

Hi Matt,

I have tried the demo on this link http://demo.raibledesigns.com/struts-menu/dhtmlExpandable.jsp, when I expanded one of the menu and refresh the page the menu collapsed.

Any idea on how to solve this?

Thanks.
