How to save and retrieve the status of a dropdown menu between views?

[darkangel]

Hi, I'm almost finishing my first cake app so I'm fixing some UI issues. 
Straight to the point: I have a sidebar menu with a dropdown submenu, the 
folding state is defined by the css class "closed" so my question is how 
can I save that status to persist between views? Now when I navigate to 
another view the class resets to closed.

this is my View (rendered from my sidebar element):

<div id="mws-sidebar">
        <div id="mws-navigation">
            <ul>
                <li><?php echo $this->Html->link('Clients', '/clients', 
array('class' => 'mws-i-24 i-group'))?></li>
                <li><?php echo $this->Html->link('Transfers', '/transfers', 
array('class' => 'mws-i-24 i-power'))?></li>
                <li><?php echo $this->Html->link('Hits', '/hits', 
array('class' => 'mws-i-24 i-alarm-bell-2'))?></li>
                <li>
                    <?php echo $this->Html->link('Admin', '#', 
array('class' => 'mws-i-24 i-cog')); ?>
                    *<ul class="closed">*
                        <li><?php echo $this->Html->link('Users', 
'/allUsers'); ?></li>
                        <li><?php echo $this->Html->link('Groups', 
'/allGroups'); ?></li>
                        <li><?php echo $this->Html->link('Permissions', 
'/permissions'); ?></li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
            </ul>
        </div>            
    </div>


This is the Js that toggles the submenu when the user click on the parent 
<li> tag:

$("div#mws-navigation ul li a, div#mws-navigation ul li span")
.bind('click', function(event) {
if($(this).next('ul').size() !== 0) {
$(this).next('ul').slideToggle('fast', function() {
$(this).toggleClass('closed');
});
event.preventDefault();
}
});


Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it in advance.
