Expandable Page Hierarchy WordPress

• SOLVED

Within my top-level of pages, I have a page of information about guitar effects pedals. As sub-pages, I have all of the manufacturers of effects pedals, and as sub-pages of each manufacturer, I have a page for each pedal containing information and links, etc.

So my page structure is roughly

Home
About
Effects Pedals
- Boss
- - Turbo Distortion
- - Metal Zone
- Ibanez
- - Echo/Delay
- - Tube Screamer
Contact
Gallery

Using the following code on the Effects Pedals page, I am able to output the hierarchy of child pages:

<?php
global $post;
$parent_id = get_pages("child_of=".$post->ID."&sort_column=menu_order&depth=1") ? $post->ID : $post->post_parent;
wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$parent_id.'&depth=3' );
?>

What I'd like to be able to do is use jQuery to collapse the UL of manufacturers and the UL of pedals that manufacturer makes and make them expand on click. So, I need to have a way of disabling the links to the manufacturer pages so that the ULs can be expanded by clicking - or another innovative way of doing this.
