I like Helmy Bern design, May be due to the graphics. But the blend of images and colours are excellent.

It is a very nice site you have here.You could have mentioned Technorati. I know not everyone likes that kind of drop down menu but this one renders very well. I think there's a lot of code behind.jeeremie´s last post was... Divelog.tv

@Kevin IE6 is always a problem! Yet somehow there is still a good chunk of users that have that browser, and until that gets really low, most designs have to accommodate for it. I like the idea of adding the dropdown links somewhere else, just in case they don’t function properly.

Andrew, you bring up a good point, but what about older version of IE? At my office we use css dropdowns that will function on all the modern browsers and include some javascript for IE 6. We also usually include a sub navigation on the page too that is not part of the dropdown.These are some nice examples though - I'm going to have to look at these for some ideas for the next time I have to make some dropdown menus.Kevin´s last post was...

The main downside is usability. Especially for dropdown menus that use javascript or flash to achieve the effect. Javascript can be easily turned off, and flash relies on a plugin. If users don’t have these, then the menu can be rendered useless. For those reasons I prefer purely css dropdowns.
