that's what i meant, sorry if my words were unclear.
The point is, this is not the behavior that the original poster intended.
Look at line 3: he's defining a variable, subnav, and on line 4
he thinks he's using it - but he's not, he's using the literal string
"subnav". Therefore he gets the nothing result.

that's not what he's asking for.
