Customizable dropdown menus?

I am trying to find software that can easily generate customizable
dropdown menus. Something that could generate a menu similar to the
one on this page: http://waltoncollege.uark.edu. My problem is that
every different software package I have downloaded will not let me
customize 100% of a menu's attributes. I end up stuck with something
that I can't customize or some dorky built in design with arrows,
weird borders, bullet points, underlines, etc. Can anyone help direct
me to software that can assist me in generating a menu like the U Ark
page? Thank you!

The best software is you - seriously. Google for CSS suckerfish.

If you think those are dropdown menus, you're either fooling yourself
or wearing blinders. When I mouse over any of the items in the menu,
an underscore appears but there is no dropdown.

I rather suspect they've made the rookie mistake of relying on
Javascript for navigation.

Stan, are you replying to me, or the OP? I told the OP to Google for
CSS suckerfish, since I, too, saw this as dropdowns. At least with CSS
disabled, you still get a working list.

Personally, I don't like these kinds of menus at all since I have
problems getting my mouse to the link before the danged thing goes away.
I don't like it on web sites, and I don't like it in software programs
either.

Someone posted this page a while ago. It sums it up pretty well.

Indeed it does. I've had a to-do item for months now, of converting
my boring static text menus to nice pretty drop-downs. That article
convinced me in a few well-chosen paragraphs that it would be a bad
idea. Hooray! one less thing to do.

I was following up on the words I quoted. They were from some Google
Grouper, so I didn't see the original but only your quote of them.

Bergamot posted a link to an article that convinced me they're a bad
thing.

Hooray for your users, too.
