Hi!

I'm quite new in Drupal world and I've met some issue that I can't find resolution for. I'd like to build drop-down menu. I use quite default markup:

<ul class="menu">
  <li>
    <a href="#">menu item</a>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <a href="#">menu item</a>
      </li>
      <li>
      ... and so on.

I've a problem with generating appropriate class in only first ul. I know I can override template_menu_tree() function, but it is called each time an ul element is generated. I don't know how to get a tree level from within this method.

I've managed to bypass the problem with following code:

In template.php:

  function better_health_menu_tree($tree) {
    return '<ul>'.$tree.'</ul>';
  }
  
  function better_health_menu_item($link, $has_children, $menu = '', $in_active_trail = FALSE, $extra_class = NULL) {
    return '<li>'. $link . $menu ."</li>\n";
  }

In page.tpl.php:

	$my_menu = menu_tree('primary-links');
	$secondPart = substr($my_menu, 4);
	$my_menu = '<ul class="sf-menu">'.$secondPart;
	echo $my_menu;

But I think it's really ugly solution. I'd like to do it better/cleaner. Can you help me, please? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Marcin
