Thanks for sharing. This was very helpful. Finally got my navigation working where it supports multiple/nested menu levels and shows which ones are active.

Thank you! When I created a snippet #2722 I did not take into account the option with of inclusion tag.

I think your solution is better.

My decision have only one plus (your have several ones). In case of #2722 inheritance is possible. Sometimes it is more convenient and conceptual than inclusion.

sergzach (on March 26, 2012):

And one more plus in #2722. In your case if you want to mek whole fragment different (not only class attribute) you should write several times very similar code for each option. But I would like DRY menu.

Now I use your snippet instead of mine. Thanks a lot!
