Hello all...
I'm currently building two sites where all of the secondary navigation is taxonomy terms and their sub-terms.

What I'm looking for is a module that will take taxonomy terms from a particular vocabulary and turn them into a menu....but not only that, upon rollover for each term, i'd like a fly-out of it's child-terms as well (just the first level). The rollover has to be all javascript or javascript in IE and CSS in everything else...and I'd like to be able to style them easily with a stylesheet....basically think NiceMenus but with taxonomy terms rather than primary links....And, the menu should auto-update itself if new terms are added (otherwise I would just do it manually)

Is there a module or a way anyone can suggest to easily achieve this? Otherwise, I'm back to hiring a developer to make it happen. (If anyone can do this for around $100-$200, let me know...I'd happily pay it).

Thanks for any advice in advance!

You can use http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_menu to generate a menu based on your taxonomy, and use http://drupal.org/project/nice_menus to generate a dropdown-menu from it.

Excellent!

I guess, then, my question is: How is nicemenus in 5.1? I've noticed there's no official 5.0 release.

Taxonomy Context module provides a context-sensitive taxonomy menu (displays the terms and their (optionally, promoted) nodes according to your current location).

When the Activemenu module (part of Javascript Tools) is enabled, the contextual menu expands via AJAX (not flyouts, so not exactly what you're thinking of, but an option).
