Thanks for the reply.

I had tried multiMenu but it was too tied up with the module URL's for my needs.

I wanted a menu that takes arbitrary main links and sublinks with no connection to XOOPs modules.

I ended up making a custom block menu with drop-down submenus etc.. it works fine.

Here's the code if anyone else is doing a similar thing :

I put the sub-links in DIV blocks and called a javascript function on main-link click to toggle the DIV blocks CSS display property.

It's quite simple, and it works

<script type="text/javascript">
function showMenu(list)
{
  var listElementStyle=document.getElementById(list).style;
  if (listElementStyle.display=="none")
  {listElementStyle.display="";}
  else 
  {listElementStyle.display="none";}
}
script>
