    By the way: The HTML of the site you linked to is not valid:
    The h2 element is not allowed as a child node of ul:
    <div class="subnav">
    <h2>Secondary Navigation</h2>
    <ul>
        <h2 class="first hot">Products</h2>
		<ul>
		  <li class="first"><a href="products/fixed-products.html" title="Fixed Products" >Fixed Products</a></li>
          <li><a href="products/flex-products.html" title="Flex Products" >Flex Products</a></li>
          <li class="last"><a href="products/float-products.html" title="Float Products" >Float Products</a></li>
       </ul>
    </ul>
</div>

      Thanks a bunch Ottogal.

      Your last post and suggestion did the trick.

      I still need to tweak some CSS styling, but the main functionality is now correct.

      Thanks again for helping out a beginner to MODX.

          ottogal,

          Something came up recently with the snippet you helped provide me.

          The working snippet was:

          [[!Wayfinder?
          &startId=`[[!UltimateParent]]`
          &displayStart=`1`
          &startItemTpl=`startTpl`
          &hideSubMenus=`1`
          &hereClass=`hot`
          ]]

          Any reason why removing "!" from "[[!Wayfinder?" would cause the feature not to work?

          Thanks.

          - Mike

            Nevermind ottogal. I figured it out.

            Needed to remove the "!" from the UltimateParent as well.

            Thanks.

              If the menu will not change dynamically, but remain always the same, the WF call and the UP call both may be cached, i.e. withouut the "!".
