Keeping sub-links always shown/active??

I am currently using the left simple navigation + 1 column with the layout left sidebar + 1 column, and was wondering how I can make sublinks always active.
I currently have 1 parent navigation link with 3 sub-links, and I actually need them always shown, not just when the parent link is active.
Can anyone help with this?

That really does not help much. I read the "help" for menu manager and it is not very helpful at all, especially in adding paramters to the template.
*Edit* I ended up having to just say "collapse=0" in the template for the navigation that I was using.
One thing I noticed, is that the active page for the sublinks, the text is Black for the active sub-menu page. Where do I find the CSS to change the text color of the sub-menu?

just find the css atached to your template containing the menu styling.
If you don't know witch one to edit - try using FireFox WebDev toolbar.

I know which stylesheet is attached, it is the "Layout: Left sidebar + 1 column"
But I don't know which CSS entry it is suppose to be. The current CSS for the links looks like this:
Code: Select all
a,
a:link {
color: #385C72;
}
a:active {
text-decoration: underline;
/* css validation will give a warning if color is set without background color. this will explicitly tell this element to inherit bg colour from parent element */
background-color: inherit;
color: #18507C;
}
a:visited {
text-decoration: underline;
background-color: inherit;
color: #18507C; /* a different color can be used for visited links */
}
/* remove underline on hover and change color */
a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
background-color: inherit;
color: #385C72;
}
I just don't know how CMS Made Simple interprets the sub-menu CSS

The stylesheet for the menu is usually a separate one to the Layout one. Do you have a menu stylesheet attached?
