Brief Review:

Program downloaded and installed smoothly on Vista x32 OS. Nice user-friendly, easy-to-navigate GUI, with loads of available settings and options from which to choose. Only downside (so far) is that the activation process seems to be buggy (keep getting "cannot connect to activation server" error message, even though my internet connection is working fine.) Have not yet had a chance to use the program fully, but SoThink is a reputable company that produces reputable products. I will be able to easily add dhtml menus to my blog site with this program - so a definite two-thumbs-up for today's giveaway. Than you, GOTD and SoThink, for this wonderful gem.

Freeware Options:

Tigra Menu Builder

PHP Layers Menu

As Ashraf (#1 comment) mentioned menus created using DHTML and/or Javascript can cause problems if Javascript is turned off in the browser (yes, some people turn it off, e.g. for security reasons).
That's one of reasons to use CSS as much as possible.
So to create great looking CSS based menus I use and recommend CSS Tab Designer

Have used this for a few years now. Highly recommended even if you have to pay for it - and it's free! Only problem I ever had was in the very beginning, trying to figure out the best way to publish it to my websites. Once I figured that out, the rest was easy. Was able to move it gracefully from XP to Vista and now to Win 7. It just works.

Downloaded, installed and registered as easy as breathing.

A fantastic give away for someone involved in web design. Takes away all the time and hassle of setting up a menu system leaving the developer on other aspects of design.

Thank you for this much needed utility.
