I was working with the CoolMenus menu system by Thomas Brattli earlier. Although the script is an excellent piece of work, trying to use CSS to control the display of it is pure hell. You have to go directly into the code to modify a large part of the way the menu is displayed, and that’s simply not an acceptable approach to the particular problem that I happened to be facing; the client wants to be able to alter the content of the menu. Brattli’s menus are absolutely positioned, and therefore cannot be put into the flow of a liquid page.

After searching SourceForge.net unsuccessfully (SourceForge is where I usually end up finding solutions to my problems, it’s a great place), Google finally yielded a workable solution to me found at Juicy Studio by Gez Lemon. A link to the working demo of the menus is here. Thank you, Gez! You’ve saved me from using Javascript and writing my own
