Professional slide drop #1

Simple drop down menu that has a vertical sliding action. Hover over a top level link to slide down the submenu, and it does slide down, not just appear using a vertical shutter action, and then hover over the same top level to close or another top level to open that one and close the previous one. You can run your mouse over the top level items to open and close them and they will all work simultaneously.

Drop Line Menus

Professional dropline #5

This Dropline menu uses hover instead of click to open (and keep) open a sub menu. With the top level and the dropline centered within the containing div. Using hovers instead of click will allow the top levels to have links.

Just hover over a top level item to drop down the associated sub line. The top level will stay black to show that it has been selected. Hover the same item to close the sub list or a different top level item to close the current sub level and open a new one. ‘Home’ and ‘Privacy policy’ do not have sub levels.

The ability to have a selected top level open on page entry is included, which is demonstrated in this menu where ‘Sales’ is selected on page entry (demo).

Tested in IE6, IE7, Firefox, Opera and Safari (PC). Visit stunicholls.com where you find more than 30 great menu scripts.
