I'm a Drupal newbie and need a spot of help with menu item HTML.
I'm using several Menus on a site and I need to generate different HTML for them.

In my custom theme template.php file, I can override theme_menu_item(). Tried that and it's working. However, it changes the output HTML for all my menus. e.g. if I add 

function mytheme_menu_item(...) {
  ...
  $sep = "<span class="sep"> | </span>";
  return '<li class="'. $class .'">'. $link . $menu . $sep ."</li>\n";
}

Then I get the separator added to the html of every menu item. I want to conditionally change the HTML based on some value I pass in (it might be the region the menu is in, or how menu items it has or whatever.) I might want separator HTML on one set of menu items, or add other html elements on another, or add id or title attributes to the li of a different menu.

Anyone recommend a strategy for this?

Thanks,
Mike

You need to add the logic to check for different menu item conditions right into the function itself. For an example, see http://drupalcontrib.org/api/function/dhtml_menu_theme_menu_item
