21 Dec 2005: Uses ObjectID (instead of objectName) as the ID of submenus. This allows duplicate navigation folder names and removed the need to clean non-XHTML characters from the menu name.
The BrainJar menu creates a dynamic, multi-level, drop-down menu for your site. It's built from standard HTML elements using CSS to define the look and layout and JavaScript to handle the action of the drop-down menus.
Mike Hall gives a step-by-step introduction to the menu in Revenge of the Menu Bar.
