I programmed my own menu a few years ago, have always used this as it
does latency and breadcrumbs - only one level though (its easy to add
sub levels) e.g http://www.continuumusic.com.au
It just renders link tags which can be styled using CSS for hover etc.
I can document this if anyone is interested - although I'm not sure
which browsers it covers today -
You define a document tree in javascript and this will then generate
drop down menus and breadcrumbs, from the same document tree.
Re search engine friendliness - as per my earlier post, I think flyout
links should not be visible to search engines, and your site should be
100% navigable with javascript switched off (your top button has to be a
link in other words). Script rendered links aren't readable by search
engines, at least as far as I'm aware : )

Just looking through the thread on pure CSS menus... I understand why
some people say that CSS is not designed for, and therefore should be
not be used for, behaviour. I've been using Suckerfish menus for the
past couple of years, because they are simple, search engine friendly
and lightweight.
So to balance out that thread, which is very theoretical and
philosophical, let's have some practical examples.
What do people recommend for standards compliant, search engine
friendly, accessible JavaScript drop-down menu systems? Obviously the
more lightweight the better.
P.S. I know that many people don't like the use of drop-downs at all.
However, some people (and some clients) do like them, so let's
concentrate on getting some good solid examples together.
My input: I have used "Revenge of the menubar" from
http://www.brainjar.com/dhtml/menubar/ previously with good results.
The "click to activate dropdown" part takes some getting used to for
people used to the "instant flyaway" dropdowns, but is actually a good
approach, I think.
