RE:Menu question
Hi

Just trying to understand what you looking for.

So you want a menu in the left column of your website to show the root-level pages?
have you tried the one of the navigation webparts such as CSS list?

I am abit confused when you say "I’m looking for the root pages and the children of the current page."
Do you want the sub pages of the page the user is currently on to be shown - so the list changes depending on what section of the website they are on?

Thanks

Gavin

RE:Menu question
Hello.

I would also need clarification what pages do you want to show. The pages you named are in following structure:

Services
- Web Design
- Web Development
- Network Administration

Does it mean that when you are on Services page, you want to show current page (parent) + all sub-pages (children)? And you want it dynamically, so when you select different page, you see current parent + all children again? Thank you for clarification. I would also recommend you to read following article about path expressions (you can try to use proper path expression as per your needs): http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/appendix_b___path_expressions.htm
