Magento Navigation Menu - Sub Navigation

Question

I have a template that I'm trying to edit the navigation menu for. I'm able to create sub-menu by this code of line (which is located in topmenu.html

">

#">

            <span>Knowledge</span>
            <ul class="level0">
                <?php echo $_menu ?>
            </ul>
        </a>
    </li>

That links the menu to my category, which then I'm able to edit in magento and add sub-menu category. I'm trying to create another submenu that links to my category in Magento, but does not duplicate the same submenu in Knowledge. Not sure if I explained that correctly, but any help or questions to further understand would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You could just manually build it by inserting code like this into the root <ul> element

<li class="level0 level-top parent ui-component">
   <span>Support</span>
   <ul class="level0 submenu ui-menu ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all" role="menu" aria-expanded="false" aria-hidden="true">
      <li class="level1 first ui-menu-item"><span>Item 1</span></li>
      <li class="level1 ui-menu-item"><span>Item 2</span></li>
      <li class="level1 last ui-menu-item"><span>Item 3</span></li>
   </ul>
</li>

Thanks for the help above. It allowed me to look at the code more thorough to add what I wanted. Here is what I did

<li><a class="category" href="<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl(); ?>manufacturer.html">
            <span>Support</span>
                            <ul class="level0">
        <a href="<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl(); ?>help"><span>Help</a></li>
            </ul>
                      </a>
</ul>
