I tried this solution and whaddya know: if worked! here's my code.
//invoke menu element
<?php echo $this->renderElement('menu'); ?>
//menu.thtml
<ul>
<?php
$controls = $this->requestAction('controls/navindex');
foreach($controls as $control) {
print "<li>";
if ($control['Control']['path'] == $this->here){
echo
$html->link($control['Control']['name'],$control['Control']
['path'],'class="active"');
}else{
echo
$html->link($control['Control']['name'],$control['Control']
['path']);
}
print "</li>";
}
?>
</ul>
