I am working on a multi-level site - and the client wants secondary navigation at the bottom of each page. They are insistent that that is how they want it, and when i have asked some people for help the replies I have gotten suggest other formats. i need to work on the bottom page - secondary navigation - breadcrumbs style. No other option I've offered has made them happy.

The navigation problem is also multi-level. The navigation needs to change by section of the site (I can do that) and it needs to show where the user is as well as where they have been i that section. Where they have been is easy enough. but I'd like to bold the text, and possibly even change color, for where they are. It's the "where they are" part that has me stumped. I've searched for solutions, some of which use java-script (I may be able to handle that if I have sample code) some use PHP (god save me) and some use images (I want to take up a little space as possible and still have it readable.)

One other possible issue is that they want the navigation to PERSONALIZE.

Like this:

Teacher name >> class name >> Altering Class >> Resorting or Disabling Topics Teacher name >> class name >> Altering Class >> Enabling/Disabling Problems

That is simply beyond me right now, but there is a development team involved that could do the PHP (or other server-side script) required for that. I mention it only because whatever HTML/CSS I use has to allow for that to happen when others work on the code.

Does anyone have any ideas? A reference to a good tutorial? something?

For now, clean code that will bold where the user is (even if they have been there before) will help. (the link color needs to change or grey out when they have been to a page - that much I can handle )

If it helps, the link to the test site is here: http://wotest.emendationslist.com/

I'd be grateful for any help you can offer.
