Easiest method to implement fancy CSS/Javascript navigation menu in Drupal 6?

Question

I've implemented the required functionality for my Drupal (6.19) web site, and I'm now in a position where I'd like to enhance the look and feel of the site. The current theme is a Zen sub-theme, with minimal modifications.

Can anyone explain what the simplest approach to implement a fancy CSS/Javascript menu, like this?: http://www.sohtanaka.com/web-design/examples/drop-down-menu/. I understand HTML and I have a passive understanding of PHP, SQL and CSS.

Thanks,

Mike

Answer 1

This may be what you're looking for: Nice Menus module and it's documentation.

The configuration is easy as you can see on the screenshot:

Answer 2

Here's a useful link on the subject without using a module like Nice menus or superfish: http://drupal.org/node/190263

If you use this approach be sure under site building > menus > primary links (or whatever menu you're using) you have the "expanded" option checked under the items you want to drop down.
