I am really excited about the new Drupal 5 release. I just got it installed today and noticed that the module page had slide down.

That got me thinking, so I viewed source and saw a couple of javascripts. I knew if I was going to get this done I would need something to generate the entire menu. Thanks to previous experience with Drupal I knew of a module called Nice Menus that did exactly what I was looking for.

After a couple hours of hacking it up I managed to come up with the menu that you see on the left hand side of this page.

Personally I find it harder to navigate and not all that attractive. It's definately in a beta stage. As you can tell there are some rendering issues with the drop down arrows. Not exactly sure where that's coming from. I would also like to rework the CSS so it looks more like the default menu when you first install Drupal 5.

Unfortunately this only works on the default theme Minnelli. Again I have a feeling this is an issue with the CSS.

I made a rush to release this cause I know everyone in the Drupal community is really smart and would have something done very soon.

I provided the files below that I used. Feel free to help me out and make this menu work for all Drupal themes. All I ask is to leave a link back to my site and maybe click on some adsense so I can make a couple of bucks.

Thanks Everyone who took the time to read this and a extra big thank you to anyone that is helping perfect this module.

Also, I need to thank Jake Gordon and Simon Rawson for thier prior work with Nice Menus.

If you are trying to contribute to the advancement of this module, you can track all the cross browser compatibility isses on this thread.
