CSS / DIV menu

[Panda On Smack]

Hi guys

Am looking to use a drop down like menu system on a site, i used one a long time ago but i spose things have moved on and improved a little since then so wondered if anyone had a script thats good or would recommend?

P.S. basic example: http://www.siteexperts.com/tips/jperry/ts02/page1.asp

only works in IE, obviously i need firefox to work as well

Being a Mac monkey I don't have IE to see what kind of menus that site has, but assuming you mean Drop Down in the same sense as me, there are many options.

Firstly, take a read of Pure CSS Menus by Eric Meyer. It's a number of years old but the principals remain. In fact, the pure CSS route will work in all latest browsers (IE7 included). For IE6 you need to add some script to replace the unsupported ‘:hover’ states.

For pre-built solutions, nothing is getting higher recommendation at the moment than Yahoos User Interface library. YUI is robust, cross browser and built by people who know their shizzle. And lo, there's a Menu component. That should do you well.

There's the Suckerfish menu too.

I use the suckerfish menu a lot. You can do pretty things with it and it only needs a little javascript in the head for IEs older than the latest one.
