 I found the need to identify custom nav menu items when the page is at a
 certain URL. For example,

 Menu URL: http://mysite.com/wiki/
 Page URL: http://mysite.com/wiki/Moose_Attacks

 Anything below http://mysite.com/wiki/ is considered to be "within"
 http://mysite.com/wiki/ so I want to add a class to the menu item whenever
 that happens.

 I made a rough patch with the following code, added just below line 381 of
 wp-includes/nav-menu-template.php in wordpress 3.0.2:


 {{{
      if ( strpos($current_url, untrailingslashit($item_url)) == 0 )
           $classes[] = 'current_url_parent';
 }}}

 This probably brings up other problems, such as other custom menu items
 having that class, but I hope this can be considered. Thanks

 Bradford
