I find it's best to do your homework, and shop around.
There are so many options and paths you can go down, and with things changing 
rapidly so often, something that works today, may not work so well tomorrow.
Sitepoint is a good start, they publish a good book By Rachel Andrews, CSS 
Anthology, currently 3rd edition.
She recommends a Javascript version for accessibility. I would agree.
Best of luck on your journey . . .

Having taken a quick look, I'd run a mile from them.

The first one I looked at was missing and pointed me somewhere else, which 
assured me that I've love a newer version and directed me to 
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/final_drop.html

It was wrong, I don't love it. It seems to have all the problems I described 
earlier (although it does, at least, bother to have basic links at the top (I 
wonder how many people bother to put something useful that that can substitute 
for the menu on those pages...)

<li><a href="../menu/index.html">DEMOS<!--[if gte IE 
7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]-->

This hideous excuse for markup can't be worth removing the dependancy on JS, 
can it? (Especially since you need to implement the same fallbacks anyway!)
