The attributes.variable is made when a teacher chooses a student's name. (My page has the menu for subjects/navigation then underneath the menu is the class list- each student with a link. Once a subject is chosen the teacher can hit any student link and see the grades for that subject). I want the teacher to use the menu to go through all the subjects for that student. This I can't get to work with the milonic menu. Right now when I click on a different subject I am sent to that subject but am sent to a "default page- on that page I then need to pick a student's name- it doesn't pass the info that I want to keep with the same student). Like I said I've had it working in other menus but they have proved unstable. The attributes.variable = studentID that the teacher chooses from their class list. This class list is generated by a query. I have tested to make sure that the attributes.variable is seen. For example on the menu link I added Reading #attributes.variable.#. When I use the menu I see Reading and the correct studentID for the current student. If I then click on Reading I am sent to the reading page as if there was no student picked. Does that make sense? (sorry if I'm babbling today- too little sleep and coffee) Here's the section from the menu that is suppose to be the link. (I left my test there: #attributes.variable#. I'm starting to believe that milonic menu only passes more global variables because it will pass everything but....

I have used them several times. Appending variables to the URL is not a problem. Are you hand coding the URL's or generating them dynamically? Either way, make sure your spelling is correct.
