Adding an active menu trail to the main ul, in the html.tpl.php? Is there an easy way to get the active menu trail in this nav ul? I don't really understand PHP yet, I'm still learning. I personally would have setup the menu in Drupal, not in the html.tpl.php.

 &lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;? foreach($full_menu_items as $menu_item) : ?&gt;
  &lt;? if($menu_item['#original_link']['has_children'] == '1') : $belowMenu = $menu_item['#below'] ?&gt;

  &lt;li class="&lt;? { echo "";  } ?&gt;"&gt;
  &lt;div&gt;&lt;? echo $menu_item['#original_link']['link_title'] ?&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;ul class="submenu"&gt;
       &lt;? foreach($belowMenu as $sub_menu_item) : ?&gt;
       &lt;? if($sub_menu_item['#original_link']['link_path']): ?&gt;
         &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;? echo $sub_menu_item['#original_link']['link_path']; ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;? echo $sub_menu_item['#original_link']['link_title']; ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
       &lt;? endif; ?&gt;
       &lt;? endforeach; ?&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
   &lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;? else: ?&gt;
   &lt;? if($menu_item['#original_link']['link_path']): ?&gt;
   &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="&lt;? echo $menu_item['#original_link']['link_path']; ?&gt;"&gt;&lt;? echo $menu_item['#original_link']['link_title']; ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
   &lt;? endif; ?&gt;

   &lt;? endif; ?&gt;
   &lt;? endforeach; ?&gt;
 &lt;/ul&gt;
Use menu_tree_page_data to get an array of the menu items. Set the trail accordingly there.
