I had no time before today so I hope it's not too late to suggest 
something now. Because I don't speak english well - at least not well 
enough to make sure, that I can tell you exactly what I want to - I have 
made an example and put it on my page. So, please look at 
http://typo3.susi-moog.de/menu.html before you read any further.

Basically I suggest a normal list-menu as a basic. In my mind I have the 
following ideas:

1) You could gather the information of which modules should be in the 
top menu and then put out the list via php. You can still use Javascript 
an Ajax where needed, but you have a nice listmenu that can also be 
viewed without javascript (and - more important I think - without 
CSS-Styles too) and is easier to modify and personalise in matters of 
design.

2) You could use what you use now, but put out the list instead of 
whatever you put out now (I didn't understand that part of the code, I 
got the general concept but not much more).

The menu is working in both Firefox (tested with 1.5.0.7 and 2.0 RC2) 
and Internet Explorer (6.0). It doesn't work perfect in Opera, I haven't 
figured this out till now, and I don't know whether it works in Safari 
or not as I can't test that.

The basic idea behind this menu is having a CSS-only menu for all 
browsers. My code is based on the menu from 
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/final_drop2.html.

Please give me feedback if I should continue working on it, or if it 
makes no sense because I'm not able to implement it myself so in the end 
it would just vegetate somewhere as "nice idea".

Regards,

Susanne
