Active Link Button Trick

[BrentW]

Hi All,

I have a series of cascading pages that I use links to move around.
For example:

Lighting (main link)
               ->kitchen/dining (menu level 2)
                              ->Kitchen (menu Level 3)
                              ->Dining (menu Level 3)
               ->entertainment (menu level 2)

Hopefully that explains them enough.
I use a different visualization for the active state of the link buttons.

What I would like if if you are on the page 'kitchen. the link buttons 'kitchen/dining' and 'lighting' remain in their active states.
Currently it remove the active state once you click the second menu level button. 
Any help with the java or CSS styling on this one available?

Can you post a screenshot of how it should look?
