This was written in a rush! Please ignore any obvious gramatical or speeeeling mistakes. For the sake of authenticity I will not edit this post!!!!! (also i’m way to busy man!!!)
I’ve searched far and wide for the best and easiest to use drop down menu solution.
I did not base my search on what may “look” the best but I have based my search on what is the most usable, what is the easiest to maintain and use solution, and whether it is web standards compliant. Of course what does this mean to you… you can save money and force your paid developers to upskill!!!
First Option – Drop-Down Menus, Horizontal Style
If you are commissioning a job then you and your developers should always check out A List Apart first to see if somebody has already done what you want. This is where I found this article. Let me just say. There is a reason that these guys have clients like blogger.com, google, and yahoo. Its because webstandards and quality matter, these guys walk the walk that you like to talk, they are 100% committed to the humans that use websites. And I think that is cool!
This drop down menu is rather snazzy. I like it, the conversation in the user comments is a good read, and their are instrunctions on how to integrate it into your site.

Second Option – Son of the sucker fish
These guys have also made an awesome menu. The second paragraph impressed me “Well now they’re back and they’re more accessible, even lighter in weight (just 12 lines of JavaScript), have greater compatibility (they now work in Opera and Safari without a hack in sight) and can have multiple-levels.”
Ask your programmer to look at the suckerfish dropdown solution for you.
