Hi Bachu,

Text links are best.. as spiders doesn't support scripting.

Check your site with javascript disabled, if the links are all visible then the spider should see them. CSS menus are probably the best way to build a DHTML-type menu that is Search Engine friendly.

Avoid javascript for navigation, as spiders won't crawl it.

But I try to discourage clients with large sites from using drop downs of any kind. I feel that they present too many choices, both to the user and to the spiders. They can turn every page into a global site map and make controlling PR distribution impossible.

Here's an earlier discussion on the subject, with links to some other good threads....
