Hi,

Currently my expandable menu has the following structure:


Choices
--Choices
--Choice1
--Choice2
--Choice3

Whereas I want to have this:


Choices
--Choice1
--Choice2
--Choice3

AND either disable click on Choices (as there is nothing to see there) OR enable click on Choices and hit a "next" link to go to the next menu item.

I can see these guys have managed to do this: http://www.williston-sc.com/
If you click on Our History you'll see what I mean.
If that page was mine it would show the Our history menu item twice.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you figure out what's going on? We have a client request for the drop-down menus to display exactly how you are trying to get them to NOT display!

Nope, just beaten.
Lemme know if you get any further with this.

I had the same issue, so I started disabling modules until it got fixed. It was DHTML_Menu -- if you have that module installed, I'd try disabling it.

OK, after testing it a bit I see this now causes a different issue.
You can't see there is a suboption until you click on the parent option.

But it's good progress you found out it's the DHTML module.

Is there any way we can fix this?

Is this still an issue?

I'm still interested for a solution if anyone finds it.

Deactivating the DHTML module seemed to do most of the job (no duplicate options) however as mentioned above you cannot see suboptions unless you first click on the parent option which I think is the wrong logic. User should be able to see all options by moving the mouse on top of the menus and currently this is not true.

I know this isn't the exact same issue, but the 3.x branch now also supports this module which allows for unlinked menu items for the top level item in dropdowns: http://drupal.org/project/special_menu_items

Jeremy, can you verify styling is correct with this?

Yes that is correct, Acquia Marina 3.x and above fully support the Special Menu Items module. Here is a short video showing it in action: http://www.screencast.com/users/eternalistic/folders/Jing/media/3fc27b21...

The menu item "NOLINK" is the one with the class of "nolink" as defined by the Special Menu Items module. So it looks and behaves like a normal menu item without the link attached to it.
