Show Item or Group on Appear (Highlight Item/Group)

When the menu initially appears on the page, you can have an item shown as "selected" (highlighted) or a submenu group appear open (like the "Download" submenu at the example menu above):

How?

Either automatically (item selected based on page URL) or manually (by choosing a specific item or group ID, either through the interface or through a variable in the HTML page), as shown in the interface screenshot below:

 

The current example demonstrates the javascript variable (through page) method.
(see a different example for the "automatic" method)

We use a JavaScript variable in the HTML code of this page to show the exact item that we want selected:

<script type="text/javascript">var awmShowItem=["show_item_group_on_appear-manual,it4,1"];</script>

This means that the above menu (show_item_group_on_appear-manual.js), shows its subitem "Demo Products" (with ID "it4") as selected, using its "mouse over" state (parameter "1").
