Simple drop down menu
I really like this post out on http://css-tricks.com/simple-jquery-dropdowns/
1. Download the files
2. Include this in your code
<script src="../Scripts/jquery.dropdownPlain.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
3. Create a menu
<div id="dropdownmenu">
<ul class="dropdown">
<li><a href="#" id="link_one"></a>
<ul class="sub_menu">
<li><a href="SomeWebPage.aspx">Go</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.SomeWebPage2.com" target="_self">Another place</a></li>
<li><a href="#" id="link_two">Go2</a></li>
<li><a href="#" id="link_three">Go3</a>
<ul class="sub_menu">
<li><a href="#" id="link_four">Go4</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
4. Add your stylesheet and do whatever formatting you want, in this case, a little rounding on the edges
#dropdownmenu
{
width:100%;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
/*

ul.dropdown { list-style: none;margin: 0; padding: 0;position: relative; }
