I'm in the process of setting up a new site that uses a horizontal primary menu bar and another horizontal menu bar immediately below it for child menu items.

I'm not using any modules, just the base Drupal capability as set on the Menus -> Settings page where I've set both my 'Source for the primary links' and my 'Source for the secondary links' to the 'Primary links' menu. When I click on the primary menu links, I do indeed see the secondary links displayed as configured in my primary menu.

My problem: When I click on a secondary link Drupal goes to the requested page, however the secondary menu disappears completely (also the primary menu selected item is lost). This is a little disconcerting and deprives the users of context and the ability to flip through the other secondary links.

I need a lead as to where to start debugging this. Firebug shows $secondary_links as being set to null after clicking a secondary link menu option. It doesn't appear to be something going wrong in page.tpl.php or in my CSS and I'm not sure where to look beyond the theming files. I am using Drupal 6.19 and Zen 6.x-2.0. I know this works on other sites, so it must be something particular to mine.

Here's the site: http://parkdale.to/

I found 7 open issues that roughly talk about the same problem: the secondary menu disppears when clicking on a child node. To help others I post my solution:

I simply installed the menutrails module http://drupal.org/project/menutrails and it worked!
