This jQuery based plain css drop down menu is very simple illustration that you don’t need any dramatic coding to achieve simple 2 level menu.
Css drop down menus are based only on cascading style sheet functionality, but on some old not A grade browsers they lack some features.
In this example i used very simple jQuery plugin which helps me with “mouse over” event, and adds/removes some class from some elements.
So take it, use it, recommend it if you like it!
