13 Styles offers cross browser/lightweight menu’s that offer a variety of styles ranging from simple to elegant to fun.  Most of the menu’s are generic, and can be easily implemented into an exisiting design.  The most you would need to do is to adjust some of the colors in the CSS.  The stylesheets are using standard property componenets (CSS1/2), and appear to work in backward versions of browsers also.  Which is good considering the bulk of corporate America is using ie6 still.  If you’re interested, these menu’s offer the PSD’s to totally customize the menu (for a price) if the free version doesn’t work for you.

CSS Menumaker offers more menu’s that are utilizing a more graphic flair, and most seem that they make work well with more conservative color palets (considering the vibrance of the menu’s).   These CSS menu’s offer solutions for creating dropdown menus (unique – most CSS sites do not even approach this topic).  This generator  has a pretty extensive customization feature – allowing you to build more than just the look on the webpage – this generator actually builds the menu items.   If you’re creating the menu’s dynamically, then this feature will not matter a whole lot.

CSS Play is the perverbial “Mother-Load” of every configuration imaginable… literally.  I was able to look through about half this site, and it’s literally overwhelming as to how many resources are actually offered.  The multi-level dropdown menus are new, and the menu’s appear to be consistent.  Sometimes CSS/js menu’s will have gaps depending upon the layout or browser used.  All of the menu’s appear to “look correct” regardless of how they’re used, and how they’re viewed.   If you are concerned about page size, they have some pure text CSS menu’s that are actually appealing.

enjoy.
