Is there a way to return to a specific spot on a menu (AWM) after the user has followed a link to a different page on the website?

Just wondering.  I thought I saw that somewhere.

Dear Bob,

I am not sure I understand what you mean.

Do you maybe want the menu to highlight the item corresponding to the current page, even if the user came to this page through an external link?

If so, then what you probably saw was the automatic highlight feature:

highlight menu item

Note however this feature works based on the URL seen on the browser’s Address Bar. Hence if you have pages that load inside a frame/iframe, these cannot highlight a menu item as they do not affect the URL.

Will this feature function the same way if it is a Modal window that has been opened? Or will this only work for an actual URL or Linked Page?

To be more precise: This will only work if the URL in the browser address bar matches the link of the menu item.

(so this is a “no” for modal windows, iframes or anything else that does not affect the address bar URL)
