correction:
it would be better a 'checkbox' selector rather than a 'dropdown' selector of apply the lavaLamp effect to Primary Navigation AND Secondary navigation

I am working on it-- I hit a small snag in that the plugin at the link in the OP appears to be buggy with jquery 1.2 and I haven't had the time to track down the problem. I did notice that there's recently been another updated lavalamp plugin added to plugins.jquery.com, I just haven't had a chance to test it and compare it to the original (which is quite light). I hope to get some time to devote to it this week.

Thank you for pointing that out, never could get it to work with jq 1.2. Now I can confirm that the latest one IS working on Drupal. I even have shadows and rounded corners on, works without any conflict (off course not in conjunction with those).

I have replaced the 2 instances of "current" in the script with "active" and have superb primary menu :-)

Yep--- I played with the new plugin and got it working with drupal doing exactly what you did (replacing "current" with "active"). Now I just need to add it to the module-- I hope to have it done shortly.

Have you seen this page of sample menus? This plugin is quite a bit more flexible than I first thought-- very nice addition actually.

Wow! Thanks for the link, this is fantastic!

to encho: where did you find the 2 instances to replace with the default 'active' for drupal?

edited by me *

just change
curr = $("li.current", this)[0] || $($li[o.linum]).addClass("current")[0];
to
curr = $("li.active", this)[0] || $($li[o.linum]).addClass("active")[0];

that's it

I love the simplicity of this module. Is there a chance of putting some modifications of the "lake effect"?
