title: Highlighting menu/submenu in accordance with the rendered view
body: <p>I have a fairly large Backbone app with Menu/Submenu being a separate view. Inside the menu view i have the logic to handle click event on <code>li</code> and highlight that. However i am stuck on how to highlight a particular <code>li</code> when i navigate to another view from within the application (using the router, for eg.)</p>
  
  <p>Options available:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>From each of the Views <code>render()</code>, access the menu div and highlight the required <code>li</code></li>
  <li>Use Event mechanism and from each of the views <code>render()</code> trigger an event like <code>'CustomerUpdate::render'</code>.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I feel 2] is the right way to do it. But i am open to suggestions. </p>
  
  <p>What techniques do you follow?</p>
