Hi the drupal community,
I am a newbie in the community, i hope someone may help.
I build a new theme for my web site.
I tried to implement a menu with sub menus. But even if the sub menus are defined as "expanded", they don't appear at all.

following the html code on my site:

<div id="menu">
	  <div id="primary">
		<ul class="links">
                    <li class="menu-121 first"><a href="/AboutUs">About us</a>
                   </li>
                    <li class="menu-491 last"><a href="/node/10" title="Solutions">Solutions</a>
                   </li>
                 </ul>
	  </div> <!-- /#primary -->
    </div>

on the page.tpl.php, the menu is as following:

    <div id="menu">
			<?php if ($primary_links): ?>
	  <div id="primary">
		<?php print theme('links', $primary_links); ?>
	  </div> <!-- /#primary -->
	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php if ($secondary_links): ?>
	  <div id="secondary">
		<?php print theme('links', $secondary_links); ?>
	  </div> <!-- /#secondary -->
	<?php endif; ?>	
    </div>

When i use another theme, everything is fine...
someone know what to do?
I try to search the net about submenu and jquery but nothing works...

I was struggling with the same problem. I found that the links were working fine when the Garland theme is enabled so I know it was a problem with my theme. Sure enough, after examining page.tpl.php I found the following lines:

    <?php if ($primary_links) : ?>
     <?php print theme('links', array_reverse($primary_links), array('class' =>'links', 'id' => 'primary')); ?>
    <?php elseif ($secondary_links) : ?>
     <?php print theme('links', $primary_links, array('class' =>'links', 'id' => 'secondary')); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

So I removed the elseif and changed the 4th line to say $secondary_links instead of $primary_links. Clearly the theme I'm using (spreadfirefox) wasn't developed to handle secondary links. By making changes to the above, the secondary links then worked perfectly.

   <?php if ($primary_links) : ?>
     <?php print theme('links', array_reverse($primary_links), array('class' =>'links', 'id' => 'primary')); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php if ($secondary_links) : ?>
     <?php print theme('links', $secondary_links, array('class' =>'links', 'id' => 'secondary')); ?>
    <?php endif; ?>

is secondary links enabled on admin/build/themes/settings? This is what the theme is looking for with the if ($secondary_links) statement

This is your solution:

<?php if (isset($primary_links)) : ?>
<div id="primary_menu">
		<?php print menu_tree($menu_name = 'primary-links'); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Don't forget to use the render function!

print render(menu_tree($menu_name = 'primary-links'));
