Re: [WSG] drop down menus

Here is a site with accessible menus   http://www.udm4.com/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Universal Head To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2004 3:29 PM Subject: [WSG] drop down menus I recently had a client who insisted I implement drop-down menus for the navigation on their site, even though I gave them all the reasons why I thought they were unnecessary in their case - and I was wondering what the list's thoughts were on this method of navigation. Personally think that in most cases they are unnecessary. I think a well designed site should present information in a hierarchical fashion, allowing the user to access more detailed info as they progress into the site (while still keeping all parts of the site quickly accessible in two or three clicks). I think the opposite approach, of making every section and subsection available from the homepage via drop-down menus, has the opposite effect to what is intended by confusing the user with masses of choices upfront.
