Hi,
I have more websites that could interest you:
=20
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:
http://www.zope.org/Members/haqa/ZFloatMenu
Another Zope product:
http://www.zope.org/Members/struktur/MenuItem
=20
More drop down menus:
http://www.burmees.nl/menu/menus.htm
http://developer.netscape.com/viewsource/smith_menu2/smith_menu2.html
=20
Nice alternatives to drop down menus:
http://www.axpi.net/download.htm
http://devedge.netscape.com/toolbox/examples/2001/xbCollapsibleLists/#exa=
mples
http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/slide-down-menu.html

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,
Josef.
