[TYPO3] Menu Question

[Billy Strader]

OK I am trying to take a template I like and convert it to a TV 
template.  I will be the first to admit I am very new in the Typo3 
system and trying to get templates to work.  Here is my problem's. 

First the main menu. I need/want the top level items to be wraped in 
this kind of code. 

 

<div id="navcontainer"> 
<ul id="navlist"> 
<li><a href="Item1">Item1</a></li> 
                        <li id="active"><a href="Item2"
id="current">Item2</a></li> 
            </ul> 
</div> 

I have it going into the div & ul, it does the id=active for the li if 
it is the active link. but how can I modify the look/feel of the a href 
section?  I don't want the : 

onfocus="blurLink(this);" 

I rather have that be if act put the id="current" 

Here is my current TS for this part: 

## Menu [Begin] 
lib.mainMenu = HMENU 
lib.mainMenu.entryLevel = 0 
lib.mainMenu.1 = TMENU 
lib.mainMenu.1 { 
            wrap = <ul id="navlist">|</ul> 
            NO.allWrap = <li> | </li> 
            ACT = 1 
            ACT.allWrap = <li id="active"> | </li> 
} 
## Menu [End] 
  
Now second problem I am having is with SubMenu's.  I have a section on 
the left hand side that I want filled in if there is submenu's to a main 
menu.  Here is how I want it to look: 
  
<div id="left_side"> 
<h3>Item1</h3> 
            <p> 
                        <ul> 
                                    <li><a 
href="SubMenu1">SubMenu1</a></li> 
                                    <li><a 
href="SubMenu2">SubMenu2</a></li> 
                                    <ul> 
                                                <li><a 
href="SubMenu2.1">SubMenu2.1</a></li> 
                                                <li><a 
href="SubMenu2.2">SubMenu2.2</a></li> 
                                                <li><a 
href="SubMenu2.3">SubMenu2.3</a></li> 
                                    </ul> 
                                    <li><a 
href="SubMenu3">SubMenu3</a></li> 
                        </ul> 
</p> 
</div> 
  
Now where Item1 is That needs to be the Main Menu Name. not linked or 
anything just put it there with h3 around it.  Then the submenu's for 
that menu item.  Any suggestions?  This is where I am really getting 
messed up.  Nothing I am trying is really doing what I want. Here is the 
TS I have for the SubMenu: 
  
lib.subMenu = HMENU 
lib.subMenu.entryLevel = 1 
lib.subMenu.wrap = <div id="left_side">|</div> 
lib.subMenu.1 = TMENU 
lib.subMenu.1 { 
            NO.allWrap = <li> | </li> 
} 
  
Thank you in advance for everyone's help on this.
