1) Advanced CSS Menu
Check out this great CSS advanced menu tutorial by Nick La, showing us how to slice up the menu design step by step and putting them together with CSS.
Note: there is an IE6 bug where the hover effect doesn’t display properly. To fix that, you can use Javascript to specify the to display block on mouseover.
2) Advanced CSS Menu Trick
A new concept by altering the non navigation items on hover state which will focus the user’s attention on the item they have hovered on, and create a new look and feel for the site overall. Works perfectly in any modern browser, yet still be fully functional in your older version of IE as well.
3) Son of Suckerfish Dropdowns
The Famous Suckerfish Dropdowns is now back and they’re more accessible, even lighter in weight (just 12 lines of JavaScript), have greater compatibility (they now work in Opera and Safari without a hack in sight) and can have multiple-levels.
4) Tree Frog slide and fly menu
This menu has a vertical sliding first sub level then two flyout levels and demonstrates how it is possible to change positional styling from ‘absolute’ and off screen to ‘static’ and expanding the menu vertically.
5) Mike’s Experiment
A useful CSS technique for providing pop-up descriptive content by extending nav menus with tool-tips, alerts, notifications, or additional info.

I’m not sure why, but #2 crashed Firefox (v. 2.0.0.11) every time I loaded it. I haven’t looked closely at the javascript, but I suspect that it’s the culprit. If anyone is thinking of borrowing that code, it’s worth noting.
