You are not thinking about your issue with the navigation bar correctly. You do not need to add certain sub-items depending upon the current page. You need to hide certain sub-items. Plain HTML/CSS example:

   <style type="text/css">
       ul li ul {display:none;}
       #active ul {display:block;}
   </style>

   <ul>
      <li id="active">Section 1
         <ul>
            <li>Subsection 1.1</li>
            <li>Subsection 1.2</li>
         </ul>
      </li>
      <li>Section 2
         <ul>
            <li>Subsection 2.1</li>
            <li>Subsection 2.2</li>
         </ul>
      </li>
   </ul>

Even though this contains both submenus, only the first one gets displayed. Without knowing exactly what the generated HTML of you navbar looks like, I can only point to the general technique ...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
