Hello,
I want to use a menu with 2 entries. Both entries are in fact 2 submenus.
All the characteristics (colors, width,...) from the parent menu are also automatically used in both submenus, except the menu title (which I want replicated in the submenus too).
I've been trying to use the same menu title in all 3 menus (the parent menu and both submenus), with no success. Is this goal achievable? How?
Maybe I am misunderstanding the use of submenus and/or tagnames, but without your help...
TIA.
