Ok ... I should have read it closer.

The funny thing is that I have just converted a site of mine using 
hiermenus and dropdown menus to something using straight html menu's.

And everybody was better of doing it. Also the site got much faster ;-)

It is a site for a vocational school, and had a structure very similar 
to the one you describe.

The problem is that the users never discivers the index_html files all 
the way down tha navigational tree. So they lost a lot of information 
that they needed to understand the page they finally ended up on.

They where very fond of a tree structure int the menu's, which I don't like.

So we ended up on the following compromise.
