 * On my site ([http://zoddy.weblogs.us](http://zoddy.weblogs.us)) which i recently
   started i have made some pages as they will be relatively static content.
    It
   will be some tech supporty type stuff that i will use or pass on to friends when
   required. At present i’ve only added one quick page as a test.
 * My problem is that on my first page (index) in my menu it lists the following:
 * HEADING (Pages)
    – Page 1 Topic – Page 2 Topic — Page 2 Child SubTopic — Page
   2 Child Child Subtopic
 * Maybe that doesn’t make sense, but if you look at my blog on the page link titled‘
   remove rogue files’ you’ll see what i mean.
 * Is it possible to hide those child topics/pages unless their parent is opened?
   
   So in my case all you would see would be:
 * Java
    Server Administration
 * If Server Admin is clicked open that page would open up the submenu etc..?
    Otherwise
   if i add say 15 pages the page section alone will fill up the screen…
 * Thank you in advace…

 * I know of no automatic way to do this. I’ve been wrestling with it for a while.
   You can declare specific pages to exclude if you’re using wp_list_pages to display
   your menu. more info here:

 * when I finish with my little hacks for this, I’ll post them here. That’s if I
   ever finish…
 * I’m hoping newer versions of WP will include more tags for manipulating and dealing
   with Parents, Children and Siblings. I think it’s coming…

    Syrupcore, would appreciated it if you could post
