New-HTMLNav - Locational Awareness

[smasterson]

I have been using New-HTMLTopNav with success for a while now. The issue that I am running into is sprawl with nested links...

One way I thought could help tremendously here is if I switched to left nav (New-HTMLNav) and that it could 'know where you are' or more simply 'open to your location'.

Looking at the pic below, if I am browsing the page at Compute > VMware > Stats > Clusters
and then want to jump to Compute > VMware > Stats > Hosts
it takes like 5 clicks :-(
If the nav opened/expanded the list to the current page it would be easier (one click) to navigate to other similar pages without having to open the menu and drill, drill, drill, drill each time.

Hope this makes sense!

You want the state of nav to be saved. I am not sure how to do that. It's a good idea, but I doubt my html/css/js skills are high enough to do this. You would probably need limit the example, and post on stackoverflow or maybe ask chatgpt and then we can try and figure it out.

I'm not sure 'saved' is needed as much as the ability to open/expand the menu to a certain link?
If we could do that, we just look at the current pageid and open to the corresponding link?

Either way, I don't have idea on how to do it properly. Feel free to experiment.
