I'd like to get my child menus rendered always as nested uls whether the root is active or not (an animate them later with jQuery). I can see how it's done with the hover examples but is there a simple way I can do it without using the template option - I've tried what I think are the obvious options and can't seem to get the child menu items to display when the root is not active. Thanks

No, the built-in tabs type does not render nested UL's because it was created for the sliding-doors technique of doing tabbed navigation. There is a built-in Hover type that does have nested UL's and does not require a template but the template is really the best way to get better control.

Great stuff - I'll take that route then.

I've now got a structure using the template file that looks like this:- ul li a level 0 menu item 1 ul li a level 1 menu item 1 /li /ul ul li a level 1 menu item 2 /li /ul I'd like to achieve the same but without closing the ul for each menu item. Like this:- ul li a level 0 menu item 1 ul li a level 1 menu item 1 /li li a level 1 menu item 2 /li /ul I've attached the my current template file - which is just the suckerfish template with the hover js removed. Thanks,

To do that you would remove the closing /UL in the container elements of the template, but that would not be valid html if you open all those ULs and then do not close them. [/Level2-Container[ < /ul> ]]

What I'd really like to do is reproduce the structure generated using the hover option (i.e. nested uls) but with a few modifications. From what you're saying I can't do that with templates - seems a shame. ul li a level 0 menu item 1 ul li a level 1 menu item 1 /li li a level 1 menu item 2 /li /ul /li /ul

Sure, you can do that with templates. The suckerfish template skin example has nested UL's exactly like the Hover Type menu.
