Crystal Theme Navigation

[ikegordon]

Could someone help? I'm trying to figure out how to keep the parent menu item highlighted when a visitor is on a child page (even if the child page isn't listed on the menu itself). How should I go about doing this? Please, see code below and thanks in advance!
