[support] Menu Items w/o Links

[Jeff Brown]

Hi, sorry I didn't read your whole email before thinking excitedly  
that that was just what I needed, too.

So, I just tested and it does exactly what it says on the tin; but  
doesn't do what you/I need. By itself <nolink> can only display  
expanded menu items.

However, the project page does say " It is recommended to use  
SimpleMenu module or another dynamic menu module or you will not be  
able to access children of nolink menu items."

I don't have time to test right now, but that seems the way to go.
