me again.... heh. Having a great conversation with myself today....
anyway, I sorted it out and thought i'd put my solution up here in case anyone else has the same problems....
<ul>
<% control Menu(1) %>
<li><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkOrSection, $LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a>
<% if LinkOrSection = section %>
<% if Children %>
<div id="leftbox_sub">
<ul>
<% control Children %>
<li><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkOrSection, $LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a>
<% if LinkOrSection = section %>
<% if Children %>
<div id="leftbox_sub2">
<ul>
<% control Children %>
<li><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkOrSection, $LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a>
<% if LinkOrSection = section %>
<% if Children %>
<div id="leftbox_sub3">
<ul>
<% control Children %>
<li><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkOrSection, $LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a>
</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end_if %>
<% end_if %>
</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
</div>
<% end_if %>
<% end_if %>
</li>
<% end_control %>

</div>
<% end_if %>
<% end_if %>
