Have I got a deal for you.

Take a look at the script Mike Falatine offers.
He makes good use of a simple <ul><li> menu tree to any level you want.
You'll see how it all comes nicely together.
In your case, what you're missing is a simple thing to add in.
<div class="on" style="display:block;">
<div class="off" style="display:none;">
Now what you need to do is to switch them on/off as needed.

A short script can do that easily.
And there are ways of handling that in CSS as well.
You may want to post a working example somewhere for others to see what
you're doing.
