I figured out how to do it but do not laugh at my long drawn out
process. not a guru but it works for me.
in the jquery.treeview.js file I have to replace
var current = this.find("a").filter(function() { return
this.href.toLowerCase() == location.href.toLowerCase(); });
with
var locend = location.href.search(/&/);//character you are
searching for
if (locend == -1){
var locsub = location.href; //if not found use the full string
} else {
var locsub = location.href.substring(0,locend); //if found just use
what is before that character
}
var current = this.find("a").filter(function() { return
this.href.toLowerCase() == locsub.toLowerCase(); });
this will take a string from the address bar like
http://www.somesite.com/categories.php?cat_id=7&page=2
and replace it with http://www.somesite.com/categories.php?cat_id=7
hope this helps anyone else looking through the board and thanks
eveyone for all your help!
