I'd second this... JQuery plugins tend to have better cross-browser 
support.  I've used a menu plugin previusly that seems to work well, and 
claims it degrades to CSS-based when javascript is not available.  But 
I've not tested it extensively.  Would be good to spend some time having 
a look at a variety of them to see which is the best fit for our needs. 
  Something for David and I to look at perhaps and come back to council 
with our suggestions?
