I am having some trouble customizing the custom menu in wordpress 3.0

THis is what I get from wordpress at the moment. Basicly a list with sub lists which if fine.

```auto

<ul id="menu" class="menu">
<li id="menu-item-1021" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type"><a href="#"><strong>About</strong><span> </span></a></li>

<li id="menu-item-1022" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type"><a href="#"><strong>Shortcodes</strong><span> </span></a>

<ul class="sub-menu">
	<li id="menu-item-1024" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type"><a href="#">Claude</a></li>
	<li id="menu-item-1023" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type"><a href="#">Testing collumns</a></li>
</ul>

</li>

<li id="menu-item-1033" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type"><a href="#"><strong>Pages</strong><span> </span></a>

<ul class="sub-menu">
	<li id="menu-item-1032" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type"><a href="#">Sidebar Left</a></li>
	<li id="menu-item-1031" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type"><a href="#">Fullwidth</a></li>
	<li id="menu-item-1030" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type"><a href=#">3 col no sidebar</a></li>
</ul>

</li>

<li id="menu-item-1034" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type"><a href="#"><strong>Contact</strong><span> </span></a></li>
</ul>

```

However I am trying to get my html site to work in wordpress [-See here-](http://zestcreativestudio.com/work/go360/index.html) and the menu is a drop line menu and I need to change the way wordpress spits out the code so it looks like this:

```auto

<ul class="select"><li><a href="#nogo"><b>Home</b>
</a></li></ul>

<ul class="select"><li><a href="#nogo"><b>About Us</b><!--[if IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->
<div class="select_sub">
	<ul class="sub">
		<li><a href="#nogo">option 1</a></li>
		<li><a href="#nogo">option 2</a></li>
		<li><a href="#nogo">option 3</a></li>
	</ul>
</div>
<!--[if lte IE 6]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]-->
</li>
</ul>

```

It’s very similar except all top level navigation items are held in thier own \<ul\> and sublevel have a \<div\> and some conditional statements around them and are held in a \<ul\> aswell.
