That error means you are not calling the code under the FarCry framework. Almost everything in FarCry is driven by index.cfm (which then includes the right layers of code to make your pages display correctly).
You need to put the code in a file (e.g. menu.cfm - in maybe <your app>/webskin/includes directory) and call it as follows: <cfmodule template="/farcry/#application.applicationname#/webskin/includes/menu.cfm"> You would need to put this call in a template page (e.g. displaypageLanding.cfm or displaypageStandard.cfm or your own template) in your <your app>/webskin/dmHTML directory and make sure the page you are viewing uses that template (via the Admin console). Make sure you add the modifications that Ben posted along with my update of swapping around the current and previous variables (or Ben's abs() around the expression). NOTE: unless you have created the styles that Ben has embedded into the code, all you will see is a <UL> object that displays the navigation down to the point you are viewing. To test the code properly you will need to create several nested navigation nodes each with a dmHTML page underneath it. 2nd NOTE: the code is NOT a menuing system. It is meant to demonstrate how to use some of the tree methods to obtain the navigation items and how to display them using an unordered list.
