Exactly.

Ok...
So the focus should not be on the click events, but on the URL changes.
Since it will be based on URL changes and not, on click/hover events, I can rely this navigation
system entirely on php. Right?
If this is correct, the only think I need then, is to create a condition, to show/hide ul/li items
based on:
a) the url changes.
OR
b) the existence or non-existence of child array elements that needs to be verified each time the
user navigates to a page.
Is this correct?
Thanks again,
