Re: How to save and retrieve the status of a dropdown menu between views?

Rather than store the state between requests, you could use some js to
open it if necessary.

$('#mws-navigation a').each(function()
{
if ($(this).attr('href') == location.href)
{
$(this).closest('ul').toggleClass('closed');
return false;
}
});
