Submenus in Wordpress

Question

I know you can create pages under a parent eg:

-a
--c
--d
--e
-b
--f
--g

But all of the themes I've looked at will only display the top menus.

-a
-b

How can I create a menu with drop downs for the sub menus I'll handle the drop down scripting, but how do I access the page names in order to create one?

Answer 1

You can set the depth argument in the wp_list_pages template tag
