This is a multi-level horizontal CSS menu created using a regular nested HTML list, then turned into a fully functional drop down menu using CSS and a touch of jQuery. The sub menus slide in and out into view, which also automatically reposition themselves horizontally if too close to the window's right edge.

Important: Make sure your page contains a valid doctype for this menu to render properly.
HTML 5 advocates the use of the very simple doctype:<!DOCTYPE HTML>
The external files: The menu requires the following support files, which you should upload by default all to the same directory as your page itself:
- jqueryslidemenu.css
- jqueryslidemenu.js (inside this file, you should confirm the full URL to the 2 arrow images below)
-
If you wish to upload the above files to a different directory, be sure to edit "jqueryslidemenu.js" to update the URLs to the two arrow images used.
The CSS/ JavaScript: The below code should be added to the HEAD section of your page:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="jqueryslidemenu.css" />
<!--[if lte IE 7]>
<style type="text/css">
html .jqueryslidemenu{height: 1%;} /*Holly Hack for IE7 and below*/
</style>
<![endif]-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jqueryslidemenu.js"></script>
