 * Hi,
 * Im looking for a vertical drop down menu or a theme which incorporates a vertical
   drop down menu.
 * so in my side bar for example:
 * categories
    test 1 test 2 test3
 * when you click on test 1, it will drop down another menu
 * categories
    test 1 >testing a >testing b >testing c test 2 test 3
 * the same as this site

 * It depends what you want in the menu.
 * If it is WP pages, then use the depth=x parameter to limit the level of pages
   displayed intially, then set the theme to list another level sub-pages when on
   a lower level.

 * I don’t particularly like that style of menu though as there is quite a long 
   delay between when you click and the next menu item being available. I would 
   be inclined to use Javascript (with HTML fallback) to display the menu items 
   a little faster, I’m not sure how to do that though (my Javascript knowledge 
   is rather feeble).
 * It doesn’t sound like quite what you are after, but I generally recommend creating
   a flyout menu with my [dropdown menu plugin](http://pixopoint.com/suckerfish-wordpress-plugin/)
   instead of the approach you are using. Unfortunately I haven’t built in a flyout
   functionality to the CSS generator for my plugin yet, but I do customisations
   for a reasonable price if that’s of interest to you.

 * Thanks Ryan, I already have a drop down menu that I use, the reason I need a 
   vertical drop down is the client has more page parents that would fit on a horizontal
   menu so I need to go vertical.
 * Il have a look through the codex, see if i can work something out.
