I believe the navigation of a website should always be simple. However, if a website has many pages and sub pages, the thought of navigation simplicity goes out the window. This is where drop down menus come into play. A good and well executed drop down menu can make navigating a large site easy for the user. While drop downs make site navigation easy, sometimes they can seem difficult to implement, but the solutions listed below are all a breeze to set up, especially since most of them are built on jQuery or MooTools.

The Mega Drop-Down Menu with jQuery looks great due to the clean code it produces. Nice list of drop down menus, am i right in assuming that some of these are free and some you have to pay for?
amazing listing.
Not a big fan of drop downs but people still want them. Still some nice menus there, thanks
These could be very useful for an Ecom site to quickly filter down to a product or sub Cat level.
Other than one of those jquery examples these are some of the ugliest 1990s looking drop down menus.
I really like superfish, I think I’m going to start using it in my sites.
oh suckerfish, still one of the easiest and best
Superfish is the only way to go! I love it and it rarely does me wrong! The transitions are beautiful in standards-compliant browsers.
@anthony, that’s the beauty of CSS, the massive customization possibilities! Don’t be reined in by the demo code
This is so cool. I’m so glad I found this. Thanks for the info!
You might also want to check out Menu.js, it’s a small JavaScript (drop-down) menu for developers. Free/open source and based on Prototype: https://www.menujs.net/
It just handles the basic JavaScript actions for expanding and collapsing the menu, including a user-friendly delay before hiding (or showing) the sub menu. You can use your own CSS styling to create any design you want!
The examples on the website are not the best looking ones, but check out the live-website examples for what it can really do.
This is a useful compilation. Thanks! 🙂
Nice examples
Pretty good list of drop downs! Would probably use basic css style navigations! But could be tempted to use jquery or mootools for multiple-column layouts!
Great Post.
