Me too. I hate the jumpiness of a lot of them, I think there are
things to be done to make them graceful, but I am no expert on
this.
But I am always tempted to make a horizontal main navigation
(inline) list at top have dropdowns on a home page. It is at the
top where you would tend not to hover a mouse unless serious...
and it can aid the concept of a home page, giving access to a bit
more info about the main parts of the site without leaving the
page. These are are considerations. I reckon it provides minor
thrills to a lot of people besides clients.
I liked the css one recommended earlier. But I worry about it
because it is more complicated than I would normally write and I
sort of hate using what I can't write and fix if something goes
wrong. Must study it further, especially the conditionals that
use "table" for IE6...
Javascript is in a way much more cross-browser friendly (no
tweaking for this or that browser as with css equivalent).
