Why? A menu has nothing to do with Definition Data. Use logical and 
syntactically correct markup, _then_ consider styling.

You probably have malformed syntax. Hard to tell without a URL, but also 
needless, since <ul> markup is a better starting point.

It depends on the markup you use.

I see nothing related to DD there. Maybe your "DD menu" didn't mean 
using <dd> markup after all.

To create a vertical menu out of list of links organized in a <ul> 
element, there's not much you need to do. It's vertical by default. You 
may wish to consider suppressing list bullets and left margins and 
setting width etc., but you didn't explain what you wanted, except for 
"vertical". And you would normally use all of
ul#mainMenu
ul#mainMenu li
ul#mainMenu li  a
in different CSS rules, since all of those elements might need 
consideration.
