Add this to your child theme functions.php file:

//  Add a dynamic menu using wp_list_pages

function childtheme_menu() { ?>
     <div class="menu">
          <ul class="sf-menu">
                <?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1'); ?>
          </ul>
     </div>
<?php }

add_action('wp_page_menu','childtheme_menu');

Thanks for your help Devin.

I am no good in php but I added the code:
But it is not working
When I exclude pages like this:
<?php wp_list_pages('exclude=610,505'); ?>

It replaces the whole menu with one word, "PAGES" and if I click on it there is one big dropdown menu with all pages listed...

I want to keep the menu, only disable the dropdown function.
I guess my question was not clear...

You need to paste the code in the functions.php file of your child theme. I just tested it on a local copy and the snippet above works fine. If you also want to exclude pages, you'd do this:

// Add a dynamic menu using wp_list_pages

function childtheme_menu() { ?>
<div class="menu">
<ul class="sf-menu">
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1&exclude=610,505'); ?>

</div>
<?php }

add_action('wp_page_menu','childtheme_menu');

jeah, it's working, thanx a lot Devin!

I could nevver have figured this out myself, especcially this php stuf:
('title_li=&depth=1&exclude=610,505')

SOLVED :-) :-)

This would be something like:

// Add a dynamic menu using wp_list_pages

function childtheme_menu() { ?>
<div class="menu">
<ul class="sf-menu">
<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="<?php
bloginfo('name'); ?> Home Page">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1&exclude=610,505'); ?>

</div>
<?php }

add_action('wp_page_menu','childtheme_menu');

wow. thank you for the quick reply, that works just great!
now i just have to re-enable the active state of the home button, so it stays active on the frontpage.
thanks so much for your help!

Mmmmh .. 'sf-menu' like this would be:

// Add a dynamic menu using wp_list_pages

function childtheme_menu() { ?>
<div class="menu">
<ul class="sf-menu">
<li class="<?php if ( is_home() or is_archive() or is_single() or is_paged() or is_search() or (function_exists('is_tag') and is_tag()) ) { ?>current_page_item<?php } else { ?>page_item<?php } ?>"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="<?php
bloginfo('name'); ?> Home Page">Home</a></li>
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=1&exclude=610,505'); ?>

</div>
<?php }

add_action('wp_page_menu','childtheme_menu');
