You could use a combination of PHP and Javascript.

Use a separate PHP script to get menu options and export them out to JSON then use Javascript to get the JSON data and create the elements.

Seems a bit much for a navigation menu though. You can do like Google does on their main page, the "more" option, use CSS to hide/display the menu.

Yeah, that sounds a bit complicated, and what I originally wanted to do was to use a DHTML tab menu and have a sub navigation but it was frustrating me after trying to figure it out for 2 days.

What other options do I have for a unique navigation?

i figured it out
