Trouble with JavaScript Base dropdown menus

[Sarah Atkinson]

I have a drop down menu that uses JS to hide sub uls

when it initiates the menu it hides all the sub uls. However I want to be able to over ride this sometimes and have one ul showing on initiation.

function initMenu() {
$('#menu ul').hide();
$('#menu li a').click(
 function() {
  var checkElement = $(this).next();
  if((checkElement.is('ul')) && (checkElement.is(':visible'))) {
  checkElement.slideToggle('normal');
return false; 
  }
  if((checkElement.is('ul')) && (!checkElement.is(':visible'))) {
  $('#menu ul:visible').slideUp('normal');
  checkElement.slideDown('normal');
  return false;
  }
  }
 );
 }
$(document).ready(function() {initMenu();});
