Hiermenus works nicely.

You got to pay $30 for a site license though.


Another thing is: don't use dropdown menu's on a website. It is bad site 
architecture.

Most well designed sites use a "news triangle" as the narrative 
structure. This means that the most important news is on top, and that 
less and less important news is at the bottom at the triangle.

If you use dropdown menus most people will jump straight to the less 
important information, ignoring or missing the more important parts.

It can be used with succes on an intranet though. If people has a well 
defined task to do and they want to get there fast to do it, then a drop 
down menu is good.
