Is there already a good way to create a drop down menu system in Drupal? My favorite example that I've seen is on www.sonymediasoftware.com. I like the fact that you can right click and get an "Open In New Window" option. A lot of menu systems that I've seen won't give that option for some reason.

If nothing exists already, what is the feasibilty of adding something like this into Drupal? I've never programmed a lick in my life. Even if pulling from another OpenSource menu, I don't know how easily it would be for me to adapt something to Drupal.

Further investigating seems to indicate that the menus which allow a right click "Open in New Window" are based on CSS. I don't know exactly how that helps them to work. But I did fine this slick little menu system from Dynamic Drive. The trick I guess would be figureing out how to integrat it into Drupal as a menu module.

Any ideas???

P.S. From another thread. This is a nice example of a menu system also. I like the transparency ability.

There are really good examples of how to do this in a list apart search for "drop down menus" there are a few good examples my fav being the suckerfish example.
The sony example is a good one, right click is a nice touch but the ones above are simple to implement and will work with just a little alteration.

The problem that I've been having is getting the taxonomy data into the layout I want. I can apply all the CSS you'd want.. but how do I fill a nested list structure like this?

    • Node 2
    • Node 3
    • Node 4
