Put "Teachers" and "Students" as seperate menu items in the main menu, and put all menus underneath those two.

Then, create a [MENU:1] and a [MENU:2] in your skin, and in the skin.xml file design [MENU:1] with a root of "Teachers" and [MENU:2] with a root of "Students".  That way you'll still have only one menu, but it "appears" to be two different ones.

Does that make sense?

Hi Dan

I just realised that will need a separate skin for each section (to show only that menu)... not a big problem really but is there a way for the root to pick up what the section is, the page 'above' it?

Kedar - does that start to solve your problem too?  Is it the same as I thought?

Thanks

Well, here is where you have to think it through a bit... The SOLPARTMENU supports "root", "child", and "same" as the three options for where the menu starts.  Given that information, you can create a link to a particular menu and show only the children from there on.  The attributes for this can be set in the .ascx file or by using an .xml file, I'm not really sure if you can set those in the HTML format.  Look in the Skinning Guide (in the downloadable DNN documentation) for more detail on how the attributes are applied.
