so I've designed myself a nice looking navigation scheme that displays visually whereabouts you are within a site.
 
Now I just need to work out how to sort out the css :)
 
Here's what I want it to look like:
 
http://c41.com.au/test/sample_nav.gif
 
I'm *not* after any dynamic or popout (suckerfish [1]) type functions.
Essentially the tricky bit is going to be the light red lines/arrows and working out how to get them in the right spot. ie: so they'll adjust to line up with the section you are in.
There's also going to be content below this navigation, so if one of the lists grew really long it should push down the content (ie: may rule out absolute positioning)
 
Wondering if anyone has some immediate ideas or even has a similar example..?
 
Ideally I'd imagine the html should look something like this:
 
<ul id="nav">
<li class="active">By Expertise
   
    <ul>
    <li class="active">Architecture
 
        <ul>
        <li>WoodCentre</li>
        <li>250 Latin Street</li>
        <li>El Changeo</li>
        <li>2 Changed Ave</li>
        <li>Changewood Facilities</li>
        <li class="active">Active Project</li>
        <li>Park in Perth</li>!
        <li>11 Smith Street</li>
        <li>58 &amp; 88 Changed St</li>
        </ul>
 
    </li>
    <li>Interior Design</li>
    <li>Urban + landscape design</li>
    <li>Heritage conservation</li>
    <li>Consulting</li>
    </ul>
 
</li>
<li>By Location</li>
<li>Archive</li>
</ul>
 
any thoughts or help appreciated,
pete
