The problem with these drop-down menus is that they rely on Javascript for cross-browser compatibility. http://www.easymenu.co.uk/ is a classic example. Try disabling JavaScript in Firefox and finding the pages under the navigation item "About us". For example "contact us" takes you to http://www.easymenu.co.uk/contactus.asp but there is no way to get there from the homepage without JavaScript. Be careful to consider this when designing sites that use this 'standards-compliant' method.
The (son of) Suckerfish menu does not require Javascript in browsers other than MSIE. It will work fine in Mozilla/Firefox and Opera without javascript.

Not many people with MSIE would have javascript disabled (it's hard to find in the settings) but you could provide alternative navigation for them if you think it matters. Browsers that have neither js nor css support (e.g. lynx) will see a standard nested bullet list with ALL the links.
