Please forgive me if this has been covered previously, I've had what i deem to be a good search on the site and not found an answer to what i want to do. There may be a better way of tackling this, so I'll leave this open to suggestions as well as looking at my idea on how to achieve this.
In short I'm looking to add a new horizontal menu to a site I am working on. I have designed a custom template from scratch and everything seems to be working ok at the moment.
Most of the posts and solutions I've read on this suggest using primary or secondary links as a solutions, and doing this would be great and would achieve everything I want to... except I am using primary and secondary links for the main site navigation. What I am trying to do is as follows.
The site in question only uses horizontal menus. I am using the primary and secondary links to provide navigation to the main sections of the site. i.e. news, reviews etc. I would like to add a tertiary links to the site which would function in exactly the same way as primary/secondary links. This would be at the bottom of the page and link to site legals etc. I would also like to add another site navigation menu, again horizontal at the top of the page. This would basically have links to "my account" and a few other things. I suppose a very simplistic layout for this would be as follows
Account navigation
Primary Links
Secondary Links
All the site content would go here
Tertiary Links
My question is whether there is a quick and easy way built into the core to generate this information. I'm guessing I will have to write a function or two that copies the process on how the primary links array is generated? However is there an easier way to do this? I'm new to Drupal and not sure exactly what is available in the core system yet.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Barry.

I'd already had a look at this and it is certainly a powerful module. I can see the potential for this in many of my upcoming projects.
I've had a quick look through the docs, and I may have missed something - but I couldn't see an easy way to style each menu differently.
Each of the menus on my page have a different look and feel, the one at the top for example is a thin black line with just white text, the nav menus are thicker and fit in with the overall theme of the site, whilst the final menu with the legals in is the same as the page background.
Is there a way (easy) to style the elements for each menu separately?
Thanks
Barry.
