This module extends the default mainmenu module in many ways. The following list should give you some ideas of what you can do with it:

• extended menu styles like "Flat List" which supports sub menu items (named "Tree List") or "Select List"
• customize the menu markup using parameters or your own menu template
• split your menu or reproduce parts of your menu (e.g., display children at another position)
• make links to sections, categories, content items magically appear
• add access keys to your menu items

What you will NOT get:

• user interface to style the menu (you will have to use CSS)

The following site seem to be an excellent CSS resource:

• css.maxdesign.com.au
