So you want every page in the menu to have the url of the current
page? (This is what I understand the explanation of overrideId in the
TSref to say...) Seems like a weird requirement, but anyhow, you can
just do something like this:

temp.submenu = HMENU
temp.submenu.entryLevel = 2
temp.submenu {
    1 = TMENU
    1 {
        wrap = <ul class="menu">|</ul>
       expAll = 1
       NO {
          wrapItemAndSub = <li onmouseover="show(this)"
onmouseout="hide(this)">|</li>
          doNotLinkIt = 1
          stdWrap.cObject = TEXT
          stdWrap.cObject {
            data = page:title
            typolink {
              parameter.field = pid
            }
          }
       }

       ACT < .NO
       ACT = 1
       ACT.ATagParams = class="active"
    }
}


I think this does exactly what you're after, but I'm not positive I
understood what you need. In any case, it should be easy to modify to
suit your purposes.
