Horizontal Drop Down Navigation

Has anyone created a horizontal navigation system (not just a drop down box on a page) that can be easily updated by the client. When I mean easily updated, any of the items that are drop downs I would create each of these items as a seperate article. So in theory, if they added an article (in the write section/cat) it would automatically add it to the Horizontal Drop Down Menu.

I have used the Suckerfish Method, along with other Horizontal navigation menus, but those are not easily updated by the client. I have used Verticle Navigation based off of Categories and Sections, but these were not the site “Menus”

Any and all input and suggestion would be gretaly appreciated.

Thanks for the assistance. Works great. I actually had to modify your suggestion a little, where you put NAME=“menu_item” I replaced that with FORM=“menu_item”.

My guess is that you were just trying to keep me on my toes.

Thanks again for the asssitance.
