Chrome CSS Drop Down Menu (v2.5)

Chrome Menu is a CSS and JavaScript hybrid drop down menu. It’s easy to configure and search engine friendly. The main menu bar consist of a CSS list, while the drop down menus are simply regular DIV tags on page. Thanks to JavaScript, the menu supports subtle but important effects such as delay before menu disappearance, and repositioning of the menu if too close to any one of the four corners of the window. The entire menu, including images and external files, is extremely compact. Thanks to CSS, the menu can be styled with a different “theme” easily, just by modifying a few CSS attributes and changing a couple of images’ colors. Some highlights of this menu:

* Ability to easily “left”, “center”, or “right” align the menu items easily, just by modifying the CSS property “text-align”.
* Optional “swipe down” transitional effect for revealing the drop down menus.
* Main menu items appear “selected” when the mouse rolls over them, which includes while the mouse is over the corresponding drop down menu. Style this state as desired by customizing the “.selected” CSS class name inside “chromestyle.css.” New in v2.4
* Specify arbitrary HTML that gets added to the end of each menu item to indicate it carries a drop down menu. New in v2.4
* In IE6, drop down menus correctly appear on top of windowed controls (such as a SELECT element) using the “shim iframe” technique.
* Support for multiple Chrome menus on the same page.

Drop Down Tabs (5 styles)

Drop Down Tabs is a horizontal CSS tabs menu that supports a second level drop down menu for each of its tabs. The entire interface is rendered in plain HTML, making the script very easy to customize, plus all of its contents are search engine friendly. You can optionally set which tab should be selected by default when the page loads (ie: 1st tab, 2nd tab etc), or have the script automatically select a tab when the page loads based on a match between the current page’s URL and one of the menu tabs’. If there is a match, that tab is selected.
Drop Down Tabs comes with 5 sleek examples to let you quickly pick your favourite to use on your site. Customize each example’s CSS to modify the look as desired.

AnyLink CSS Menu

AnyLink CSS Menu is a flexible menu script that adds a drop down menu to any link on your page. Each drop down menu is simply implemented as plain HTML on the page, making them search engine friendly and easy to edit and deploy. The script supports a myriad of subtle but appealing features:

* Two different toggle methods- Each menu can be activated either Mouseover the anchor link, or Click instead.
* Two different orientations, “ud” or “lr”- Each menu can be set to either drop down below the anchor, or to the right       of it instead. The later is desirable if the anchors are “side bar” or “vertical” links.
* Menu repositions itself if too close to any of the window’s four edges to avoid being obscured.
* Ability to style the currently selected anchor link using CSS, or for image anchors, toggle between two images. v2.1
* Global settings to set the delay before each menu disappears onMouseout, whether to enable shadows, and last but not       least, a fade-in effect when the menu is revealed.

A drop down menu is associated with an anchor link on the page just by inserting a “rel” attribute inside the later that points to the desired menu’s ID attribute.
