CoffeeCup Free DHTML Menu Builder is a tool for creating drop-down navigational menus for websites. These have JavaScript code behind. Not many people can write this code, so this application stands out of the crowd. It has an easy-to-use interface where you can add menu items in a tree structure. You can add links to your items, change the visual properties and customize the behavior of the menu.
This utility does no more than its title states. It does not create an HTML page. It just takes your input data and then generates the code necessary to implement your menu. This code has a lot of comment lines included to make it easy to understand. They specify how it should be used, where it should be inserted and what you can change in it.
Only the basic properties of your menu can be customized (colors, sizes, drop-down behavior, alignment, etc). The result is decent but if you want it to have a modern look, you will have to edit it in another program or tweak some of the CSS code.
This utility, by itself, does not help amateur users too much. It makes it easy to create a menu but the subsequent implementation of the code is complicated.
