Answer 1

Is this zen cart? If so i have just been through a similar issue myself creating a new categories menu where subcats appear on hover. I used the flyout categories menu (additional module - http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1290 ) which generates the categories subcats as a nested ul as suggested in comments, this is for zen cart 1.5 but similar things are available for older versions. if you delete the javascript, this one will work fine without animation and you can easily hide the elements you want to.

The only way I can think of to do it with the html you have is to use some jquery, you could then select a certain element and hide them that way. for example

$("#categoriesContent a:nth-child(4)").css('display','none');

to hide concentrated powders. But this would obviously go wrong if you added a category as the index of the elements would be altered. I suppose you could get round this instead by looping through the a elements with .each(), get their content with .html() of the a links to compare it to a particular string, eg, 'Concentrated powders' but this would get complicated and it would be much easier to change the html. In short I think you need to rethink your approach and check out the advanced categories mod or edit the current categoies template file which you will find in includes/templates/default_template/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php copy to your template directory and edit - ask another question if you need help with that.
