How to make a sublist item in navigation panel

Hi experts,
Can you please help me out with making two sublist items under the Executive Summary Link?
Something like:

Home
Executive Summary
-Application
-Aspect
Alerting
Contact us

my present code is below:

<% 
String pageReg= "";
String exc="",asp="",al="",home= "",con="";
 
	try{
	  pageReg=(String)request.getParameter("page").toString();
	 }catch (Exception e){home="class=\"submenu-current\"";}
 
 
		 
		if( pageReg.equals("summary")){
		
		       exc="class=\"submenu-current\"";
		       
		}else if(pageReg.equals("aspects"))
		 {
		 asp="class=\"submenu-current\"";
		 
		 }else if(pageReg.equals("alerts"))
		   {
			al="class=\"submenu-current\"";
			
		   } else if(pageReg.equals("contact"))
		     {
		      con="class=\"submenu-current\"";
		      } else {
			     if(pageReg.equals("home")){
			home="class=\"submenu-current\"";
		      }
		      }
		      
    %>
<div id="left-col">              <!-- begin left column -->
        <div class="inner">
         <img border="0" src="../images/SI_Logo.PNG" width="155"
	height="64">
         <br>
            <ul class="nav-list">
                    <ul class="submenu">
				    <li <%= home%>><a href="index.jsp">Home</a></li>
                    <li <%= exc%>><a href="ExeSum.jsp?page=summary">Executive Summary</a></li>
                    <li <%= al%>><a href="alert.jsp?page=alerts">Alerting</a></li>
                    <li <%= con%>><a href="contact.jsp?page=contact">Contact Us</a></li>
                  </ul>
            
             </ul>
</div>
        </div>

You just need to nest <ul> in <li>. What exactly is the trouble?

Hi CEHJ,

So is this the way to do it?

<li <%= exc%>><a href="ExeSum.jsp?page=summary">Executive Summary</a></li>
<ul>Application</ul>
<ul><Aspect</ul>

????

Trouble is, When a user clicks on Application or Aspect, it should be highlighted
