I had asked this exact question on StackOverflow, until I cam across this StackExchange site...makes much more sense to post this here!

I'm using nice_menus-6.x-2.1 with Drupal 6.22 and would like to know if there is any way to rewrite the menu output so that the end-result resembles the following:

<ul>
    <li><a href="node/xx">Parent Link 1</a></li>
    <li>
        <a href="node/xx">Parent Link 2</a>
        <div>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="node/xx">Child Link 2<span>[Description]</span></a></li>
                <li><a href="node/xx">Child Link 2<span>[Description]</span></a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </li>
    <li><a href="node/xx">Parent Link 3</a></li>
</ul>

Basically, I only want the customization on the second tier of sub-menus onwards. The <div> wrapper is there for styling purposes. The <span> within the link tag is supposed be the description that you usually get on mouse-over, but I want this to show a bit smaller below the link (but be part of the link itself, and therefore not outside the <a> tag). I'm sure this is possible? I just don't know where to start. I'm looking within nice_menus.module but can't seem to find the function for the children rewrite. I currently have this working in a mock using plain HTML markup and CSS, but I just can't work out how to customize the PHP function in Drupal.

Has anyone been through this and would care to share?

Thanks a million everybody!

Probably you would just want to implement your own version of theme_nice_menus_build(), and add all your required divs/spans right there.
