Well, if you're using Hiermenus, just specify two different menu arrays wit=
h the same value for "left" and offset the "top" value for the second one t=
o place it lower, thus "stacking" them.

As I see it there are only two potential problems. 1) in order to maintain =
proper spacing, you should specify your font-sizes in pixels (which is only=
 a problem if they're really small, I guess) and 2) you may have layering p=
roblems. If the upper menu is "higher" than the lower menu, users may have =
to wait for the upper dropdown menu to clear to get access to the lower men=
u. If the lower menu is "higher", it might cover up the dropdowns from the =
upper menu.

All things to be cautious of and test for. Last time I checked, Hiermenus d=
oes give you control of the z-index parameter. I don't know anything about =
the other menu system you mentioned, but I'd be concerned about the same so=
rts of issues.

P.S. Why do you say in another message that Hiermenus would cost $1495?

remarkably like (but somehow subtly different from):

>I always use coolmenus , yu can get it at http://www.dhtmlcentral.com or
>http://www.bratta.com , it works on all browsers and is cross platform...

Looks quite interesting, but there is something I could use some feedback o=
n.

I want to implement something like this on a University site, but the
graphic designer would like a horizontal menu bar with 2 rows. Every
example I have seen only has one row. Is this possible? Any suggestions on
how I could do this?
