Drupal is made to be customized; however some parts of Drupal theming don’t have much documentation written about them. Theming the search form is a good example.

The only function that third party modules need to call from JQuery menu in order to create a click and expand menu is as follows:
This calls the theme function menu_creation_by_array() and sends it two arguments:
