TYPO3: XHTML Valid 3 Level Menu in Typoscript

This is sort of a long snippet, but anyway it is an example of making a vertical 3 level menu, which expand and collapse according to the active and current chosen list-item / page. The menu made as nested unordered list, and further it is wrapped in a box made of divs, where the title of active parent page to the menu is shown. The pattern of the typoscript menu could be repeated, if a fourth level is wanted, and it could be shortened to a 1 or 2 level menu.


## SubMenu [Begin]
# Removes the menubox from the page ids: 19, 23 (if the page does not have subpages, you don't want an empty box)
[PIDinRootline = 19,23]
# do nothing (PIDupinRootline doesn't seem to work?)
[else]
boxtop = TEXT
# get the title of the page on the first level of the rootline.
boxtop.data = leveltitle:1
boxtop.wrap =

|
boxbottom = TEXT
boxbottom.value =

[end]
