Best Dropdown menus?

suggest a good dropdown menu program

[DXL]

I'm having a hard time with dropdown menus. I've been doing site development for a while, most of my nav systems have simply included rollover effects. However, I'm developing a site where two of the nav options must have dropdowns. I know ZERO about them or how to use them (Im using Frontpage 2002). I managed to find a dropdown copy and paste deal on a site that I used, but it was only for one particular part of the nav system (I had to map out where that one area was through guesswork). Now I need to add another drop down for another nav option, I'm sunk because I don't know how to duplicate what I did before.

Is there a really easy to follow dropdown program available for free on the web? Remember, I'm inserting the hyperlinks in a graphic cut into slices, so I can't start from scratch using only text links. What works for you guys? Thanks!

Depending on the situation, I sometimes just use <select> tags.

However, I know many use a solution from www.dynamicdrive.com

I used to keep up with all the HierMenus development until they went to a licensing model. The older stuff was somewhat more advanced than the dynamicdrive menus in terms of cross browser compatibility.

As far as I know, those two sources are the top of the line for cross-browser DHTML. Thanks to both suggestions.

I've posted a message regarding what I consider to be the ultimate flyout/dropdown (not select) menu - [webmasterworld.com...]

But it's not available to us users yet, and wouldn't work in NN4.7.

One other menu that is freeware and good is coolmenus by Thomas Brattli, available at [dhtmlcentral.com...]

thanks for the info. I tried that dynamic drive one, but the only decent one they had relied on clicking on the graphic as opposed to just being able to hover over it.

I'm going to try the coolmenu out and see how that works.

Hi,

Have you got Macromedia Fireworks?
If you have it does popup menus easilly.

If you haven't try download the trial version and you've got 30 days to do your popup menus.

It's what I usually use to creates popups.

I have tried so many menus... and all had their flaws.
I have now licensed a menu for a small fee -- compared to price of the time I have wasted with trials.

IMHO, the best DHTML menu ever... fully configurable, xBrowser capable, etc.

You can trial/download a fully functional code sample of the thing at www.milonic.com

(BTW: I have no financial or other interest in this company)

I have spent days on trailing and selecting menus, this one works, and you can have multiple menus on the same page. I have seen two menus using the same code, but different configuations on an Australian shopping site called yourstore.com.au
