I'm looking for some samples of drop-down menus that are coded with search engine optimization in mind. Any suggestions of good resources on the web? Thanks much for your advice.

Here's one of the best ones I've seen:

    The key to being search engine friendly is that plain html links must exist in the on-page code -- anchor tags that look like this:

    <a href="http://www.example.com/page.htm" ....

    In addition there can be all kinds of javascript attributes to change visibility of various divs and so on. It's still search engine friendly as long as the urls of links themselves are not obscured in javascript code, by the use of arrays, .js defined functions, whatever.

    Our library has a good thread that walks you through the "gears" of a search engine friendly menu system:
