Drop-down menus have come a long way in web design. As always, they are a great way to offer the user more content while keeping your pages clean. With the current technologies available to web designers, including flash, AJAX and JavaScript, there are many ways to take this even further and offer more hidden, but easily accessible, content. Spyre Studios has a gallery of modern drop-down and sliding menu solutions that achieve just that. If you've been impressed with any drop-downs recently, please share in the comments.


I’ve never really been a fan of drop down menus but I really like the style used on the Behance Network site.
It’s a very clean example of its use, if you can really call it a proper drop down menu. As it extends the width of the menu bar itself and is permanently there it doesn’t drop down over existing website elements, you’re also not overloaded with links like ones that list the links downwards.
