Here are two sites that use similar switch navigational structures:

1) http://www.spherion.com/staffing/services/officeprofessionals.jsp. For
the first link, please click on Industrial Staffing. Then click on the sub
menus - industrial advantage or industrial success. In each case, you will
find that the menu remains collapsed or open showing the sub menus until you
click on another menu.

2) http://www.okkosher.com/. Here again, you can click on (a) ok (b) About
Kosher (c) Going Kosher. In each case, the menu remains collapsed when you
go from one sub menu link to another. It only closes when you click on
another menu.

Can the Call Script behavior in FrontPage apply to this in any way.

Thanks
Greg
