Dropdown Menus of Simplicity

One of those things that I’m often asked for by clients is “Can we have a drop down menu across the top?” To which I answer “Sure!”. And then once I start trying to work their look and feel into some jquery, javascript and CSS menuing plug-in I suddenly recall that I hate mutating someone else’s mess of html, css and javascript into something that still works across all the browsers and looks like what the client wants. YUCK!
