Hi,

I have more websites that could interest you:

=20

Nice one Object oriented, good compatibility,

good documentation, but a little bit complicated:

http://www.twinhelix.com/dynamic.html




Works with Netscape 4.x and 6.x, Opera 6, IE 6. I don't know about other =
browsers:

http://www.milonic.co.uk/menu/

I know there is a Zope product based on the previous menus:

http://www.zope.org/Members/haqa/ZFloatMenu




Another Zope product:

http://www.zope.org/Members/struktur/MenuItem

=20

More drop down menus:

http://www.burmees.nl/menu/menus.htm

http://developer.netscape.com/viewsource/smith_menu2/smith_menu2.html

=20

Nice alternatives to drop down menus:

http://www.axpi.net/download.htm

http://devedge.netscape.com/toolbox/examples/2001/xbCollapsibleLists/#exa=
mples

http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/slide-down-menu.html

=20

If you're going to use drop down menus and you want search engines index =
your site,

you have to do site maps to facilitate the cataloguing of your site. It =
seems like they

don't index links inside JavaScripts.




Hope it helps,

Josef.
