Does anybody know how the main menu on this web is done? Cause I have installed and integrated gallery2 successfully but I would need to have the same menu - i.e. if I click on the Gallery item (which links to the www.mysite.com/gallery - as at the example page) I don't want to go to the gallery page directly but only rollout the menu as at this page. Is this related to Drupal or Gallery2? My gallery structure is that I have one top-level gallery called My Gallery with sub galleries for each year like 2008, 2007 and under these are now real galleries with photos.

Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

I could be wrong, but to create menus that link to 'nodes' or 'galleries', you would use taxonomies to give sections of your galleries names.
Ex:

Flower Gallery
Food Gallery
Car Gallery
Planes Gallery

Then you would create a "new menu".
Then you assign your taxonomies to the menu.
Then you would assign the taxonmies to the url of the landing page in your galleries.

Thanks
that might be the right way. I will try and post here if it works. Thanks

Gallery 2 is a 3rd party script and won't integrate with taxonomy.module in the way you describe as far as I know.

This would work if the user was using say, the image.module rather than gallery2.

I found that there is no way how to connect these two things together, so there is my question again - how did they do such menu as shown at http://d6.drupalgallery.com/ ????

It looks to me like the demo site you link to built the menus manually in administer -> menus where you can create child and parent items.

The slide effect when the menus are expanded is created by the DHTML menu.module in the downloads area.

you can see these things by viewing the source code of the demo site.
