[Typo3] TIP: Gmenu_layer dropdown menu alternative [suckerfish dropdown / CSS]

[Rob De Vries]

If you would like to use a dropdown menu in your template, you could use 
the typo3 gmenu_layer menu.
But this produces a massive amount of code and I find it a bit buggy. 
(did I mentioned massive amount of code? ;)

An alternative could be to use a normal tmenu, combined with a tiny bit 
of java and styled with CSS.

TS:
temp.topnav = HMENU
temp.topnav.special = list
temp.topnav.special.value = 10,9,8,6,4,5,7
temp.topnav {
1 = TMENU
1 {
noblur = 1
expAll=1
wrap = <ul id="nav"> | </ul>
NO {
wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>
}
1.ACT < 1.NO
ACT = 1
ACT {

wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>
ATagParams = class="subACT"
}
}
2 = TMENU
2 {
noblur = 1
expAll=1
wrap = <ul> | </ul>
NO {
wrapItemAndSub = <li>| </li>
}

2.ACT < 2.NO
ACT = 1
ACT {
wrapItemAndSub = <li >|</li>
ATagParams = class="subsubACT"
}
}
}
