To Don McCahill: yes fireworks cs4 is part of my collection.

Now I have been reviewing what the feedback so far was, and basically they resume to:

1. Buying (Softery, Menumachine,..): I am no favorite of this; so far i did all myself, I consider it a challenge and would like to keep it that way. I think I will not get more visitors if I have my own drop-down menu (ie <http://sperling.com/examples/menuh/)> over a purchased one.

2. CSS coding: see above, ie <http://sperling.com/examples/menuh/>, <http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/dd_valid.html>,...

3. SPRY (I have no idea how it works or what its limitatins and advantages for drop-down menus are); found it somewhere while googling the subject. Same as bove.

4. java (foudn some info on <http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/dropmenuindex.htm)>

4. Firworks, same comment; I add this following input by Don McCahill.

6. Flash: not ideal for SEO.

Conclusion: I think for a beginner it is ofcourse easiest to just buy the menus. If purchase is no option, probably using SPRY, or direct coding or copying code, would be the next alternative.

What are your opinions?

(By the way, I will keep my site simple, it is just that drop-down menus offer so much versatility in a small space that I would like to have them on my site.) ...and thank you for all those magnificent responses so far!
