DHTML Menu & link to parent and Active link



I want to use DHTML Menu, but its got some major issues with regards to usability. I imagine there are ways yo fix them, I just cant seem to find them.

Sample nav:

Parent 1
----Child 1
----Child 2
----Child 3

Parent 2
----Child 1
----Child 2
----Child 3

So, with that setup, I cannot seem to get the "Parent" to be clickable at the same time it still expands/contracts.

Also, Im trying to get the "active" page to be highlighted within the leftnav. Meaning, if Im on Child2 page, i want that menu item to be a different color, indicating active location.

Any help would be great.

thanks, Mac

I love Nice Menu's, but our SEO guru thinks its not good for SEO. I disagree, I don't think its of any consequence, but Im exhausting all other options before i get back to him on my recommendation.  

For whatver reason, the .active class isn't working.  Maybe its getting overrident by something else.
Thanks, try using the CSS !important property.
