Building a menu with images and javascript

Using

Code:

{menu template="Horizontal Menu" start_element="1" show_root_siblings="1" number_of_levels="1"}

takes away all child menus, changing the number of levels to 3 brings them back, but still have the remaining links in white below the header.

Here's a rundown of my hierarchy:
Self Reliance -> has children
Water and Food -> has children
Warmth and Shelter -> has children
Financial Stability -> has children
Emergency Kits -> has children
Health and First Aid -> has children
Privacy Policy

I want the first six pages with children to appear as image links in the header, and have a drop down menu for the child links.
The next six links appear in a secondary menu at the bottom under the copyright. I was able to set up the secondary menu using excludeprefix (and omitted the first six pages) since none of those pages have child links. What I'm looking for is a menu parameter or code to change in the menu template to limit the number of links in that top menu to the first 6, and still allow their child links. Hopefully this makes sense.

Set the ones you don't want in the top menu to not show in menu then in footer or wherever else you want them use items='page-alias,page_alias'....

Thank you, that solution works-no more extra whitespace at the top, and the submenus are still intact-Thanks again!!

FYI, this code looks great in Firefox, but in IE 8 my submenus came up as broken images. Changing the code in the menu template to the following fixed it:

Code:

{if $node->image == true}<span class="img"><img src="{$node->image}" alt="{$node->menutext}" border="0" /></span>{else}{$node->menutext}{/if}

I think the code changed in the 1.10.* series, thanks for the new code...
