Basic Drop Down Menus

[weezle]

Hey Guys-

Been a while since I have done anything in web development, and I'm not really current with everything. I have a buddy who wants me to make a web site for him, and he wants some drop down menus in it. I have been looking around at sites code to try and figure out how to do it, but they are overly complicated for what I need. And the tutorials for it are always for advanced ones, or some customizable aspect of it.

I was hoping someone knew a tutorial, or could explain the basics required for the menus. I am talking extreme basics in which I can advance from there. I know I did it at one time, but forgot how to do it since, so I know it can be done. I think the way I did it was created a layer in a given position on the screen and made it not visible. Then when a link was highlighted, it would appear until the link was cleared. I have the basic idea down, I just need a refresher on all the commands.

I would like to do it embeded on the page for now, to simplify things even more.

The type I am looking to eventually do is like on http://www.blizzard.com

Thanks for any help

How about some ready made ones that you can modify? Here is a link to some excellent ones:

I would like to learn how to code them though. I can do alot more with things when I make them from scratch. But I'll see if I can learn from those.
