Hi,

I have more websites that could interest you:

 

Nice one Object oriented, good compatibility,

good documentation, but a little bit complicated:

http://www.twinhelix.com/dynamic.html

 

Works with Netscape 4.x and 6.x, Opera 6, IE 6. I don't know about other browsers:

http://www.milonic.co.uk/menu/

I know there is a Zope product based on the previous menus:

Another Zope product:

More drop down menus:

Nice alternatives to drop down menus:

If you're going to use drop down menus and you want search engines index your site,

you have to do site maps to facilitate the cataloguing of your site. It seems like they

don't index links inside JavaScripts.

 

Hope it helps,
