I have a very finicky and non trivial CSS based layout that I have finally worked all the kinks out of. Actually it is only finicky in IE. Now the powers that be want to add drop down menus (tabs) the top nav bar that use the sliding door rounded corner technique.

I have tried a bunch of menuing systems: Dynamic Drive menus, Spry, some jQuery plugins, Massimo's hiermenu and a bunch of stuff I found off of the Google and all of them have problems of one sort or another. I can't position it correctly, it trows off other page elementsm the drop down columns are mis-aligned etc... forever and ever, world with out end. Amen.

I posted this to CF_talk a few months back (the site got shelved since then and it is back in production) and though I would hit up the blogosphere.. Has anybody out there had any luck with this and can recommend a tabbed menu dropdown solution?

The primary requirement are:

• It can have sub menus
• W3C XHTML compliant.
• Allows for text based links

These are the Menus that I have tried so far:

• Spry Menu bar
• Massimo's hiermenu Hiermenu 1.1
• CSS menus
• tigra menus
• AnyLink CSS Menu (Dynamic Drive DHTML)

Pleas leave a comment below. Many TIA!!!
