Dropdown Menu - What is the best way of creating one?

Hi,

I used this one (http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/) to do the job, except the Javascript function mentioned in this article, replaced by a csshover.htc file, explained : http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html.
To retrieve the menu data from the database, I used a phpTemplate with following code (you can find information in the drupal forum):

<div id="alphatopnav">

<?php
/* This is the magic function that calls the menu to display on the top.
To create a custom menu instead of the default, go to "menu" under admin. Create a new menu,
and identify its ID number (the number in the menus URL). Then replace "1" with that number.

Example: $navmenu = theme_menu_tree(666)
   */
$navmenu = theme_menu_tree(52);
print $navmenu;
?>

<br class="clearnav" />
</div>

and make sure you load the csshover.htc file in your style sheet (for IE):

body {
margin:0 0 0 0;
background-image:url(alphalogic_pageGreyBackground.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position: top center;
behavior:url("themes/alphalogic/csshover.htc");}

Play with the style in the suckerfish example to your needs.

I forgot to say that you have Expand all the menus, otherwise you don't retrieve the list in your page.

HTH,
Bart
