Dropdown menu

I am using the suckerfish drop down menu. which is a very nice little script.

I would like to cancel the parent links and use them as categories only for the drop downs. meaning, when a user scrolls over the drop down menu, I want the first link to not actually be active, just used for presentation of the child links.

Does anyone have any ideas how I could still keep the parent links but make them inactive / or canceled when the user mouse overs the link?

I know how to do this
<?php wp_list_pages(‘exclude=17,38&title_li=’) ;?>

I don’t want to completely cancel the links I would like to keep them but make certain ones null.

I hope this isn’t too confusing.

Thanks for any replies in advance.
