Cascading Popup Menus v5.2 RC4

This is a fully JavaScript-contained menu system, and is quite possibly the smallest, fastest, and one of the most customisable JavaScript hierarchial menus out there. It supports nearly unlimited hierarchial menus with individual colours, styles, and dimensions -- not just a boring old menu bar with one-level, one-colour popouts. Freeform cross-frames support and menu animation/effects are included as well. See the single-frame example file for a full feature list, or scroll down for downloads, compatibility information, and archived versions.

Note: This script was designed for "version 4" browsers and is now outdated. Please consider FreeStyle Menu instead.
