[themes] Overriding menu_tree

[Mark Ferree]

Thanks for that link, it definitely gives me a much cleaner (and probably
faster) way to strip my class and id from the sub-menu.

Through this problem, I have already learned more than ever wanted to about
how Drupal's menu system works, and I just read its been completely
rewritten for 6, cest la vie.

Unfortunately  the class and id are still not being applied to the parent ul
that contains my nested lists.

In 4.7 the same classes and ids were applied to every ul in the menu
structure including the parent.

You mentioned that the menu system drops in and out of the theme system.  Is
it possible that as of version 5 template.php isn't called until after the
parent list is themed by the core theme_menu_tree function?  Doing a search
of all of the core drupal files I couldn't find anywhere else the class
"menu" was being applied except menu_tree.  I haven't tried to modify
menu.module yet, but I'll try today to see if that fixes my problem.
