Mark: Thanks for the response. Time permitting, could you expand on what you said about "different classes reflecting different submenus?"
So, I take it that the solution you're using incorporates a single NavigationMenu.plist. I was wondering about this since it only seems to be possible to point to one plist in the properties. My current navigation is a custom drop-down list using a <ul> structure and of course, it is simple for me to exclude menu items based on membership in a certain role. Since ERXNavigation is described in a plist, I've been having a hard time figuring out how you exclude items in code.
