Drop-down Menu Builders - Why Use JavaScript Menu Creation Software
(Page 2 of 5 )
Why would you want to do this? Adding this kind of feature to a website will not only make it aesthetically pleasing, it will make it interactive. This is a distinct need for any site competing for hits. If people not only enjoy visiting your site, but actually remember that it exists, there's more chance of them coming back.
The only problem is, which of the many variants on this theme do you choose? You may be the sort of person that likes to do your own research, spending hours searching for, downloading, and testing programs until you find one that meets your individual needs. If so, go right ahead, believe me, there are enough of these programs out there to keep you going for some time.

The full-on applications that you can use are more powerful and customizable, but this increases their complexity and therefore may take longer to master.
