im trying to convert this into a repeater but finding it a little difficult trying to figure out how to seperate it and make it work.
Basically the original code is HTML, and I want to use that but since my menu system is coming from a DB, I want to be able to bind that menu system and have it automatically just bind the menus with the x level deep nav bars etc... which this HTML code does:

any thoughts/ideas?

Sure, 1 repeater on the page but because this is generic, I know I dynamically have to create and add a repeater and bind the submenu items (and their children if any) to this repeater...and adding this repeater to the current item.
