i need your suggestions and tips on creating a main nav menu using either just a css technique or jquery or javascript.

i don't know yet how to code using javascript and im a starter when it comes to html and css.

so guys, im asking for the best way to create my main nav menu with drop downs and sub-sub-menus.

Depends on your attitude and preferences. JS can look very cool but a pure CSS can be much faster.

I mostly follow this mantra: If the client can disable it, don't use it

So I generally use pure CSS/HTML methods

I'll post some tutorial links that can help you out

oh my g....

great links you posted!

i agree with you, after posting topic i've search some topic about jquery and javascript strengths and weaknesses. and you're right, those can be block by add-on like javascript blocker for firefox.

i'll stick to css technique.
