navigation bars - 3 tier with changing colors

[contentmaster]

I have always seen nice looking drop down menus the ones that have colors changing.

I am using fp to creat my web pages...what is the best way to create these menus?

A lot of people use DHTML to create these types of menus. However, I've seen some impressive CSS dropdown menus which look a bit easier to maintain. I think the biggest issue you'll run into with either of these methods is browser support.

What do you suggest? Is there a simple , easy way to creat attractive menu links with out running into problems with different browers?

I prefer the CSS route to DHTML, but that's a personal choice. The less scripting I have to use the better. ;) CSS is cleaner, but you have IE's poor handling of standards to contend with. IE has yet to handle CSS properly in many important areas, so you need to be able to work around its shortcomings.

A DHTML menu might be easier to implement with a number of existing solutions. However, a CSS menu might be a bit more standards compliant, and a lightweight way to work with modern browsers that interpret those standards correctly.
