I have used the great tutorial from Jakeg - integrating dhtml menu's into a php template theme - see http://drupal.org/node/31307 - Thanks!!!!

Next thing I am looking to do is have the toplevel menu name have a link for that subsection.

I know that the top level menu in the "administer -> menu" subsection has no option for a link. I thought what if I created a menu below that then started the children from there for the links - how can I tweak the code to ignore the top level and start the dhtml code generation with the first and subsequest children?

Current:
Health (no link)
- Eating
- Exercise
- Diet

Proposed:
(hidden or not printed): Health (no link)
Health ( link to a page I can specify)
- Eating
- Exercise
- Diet

Thanks!
Gregg
