How can I achieve this kind of drop down menu without using flash? :q:

It can be done with DHTML (css, layers & javascript) but the coding would be N@$T¥ 😉

I guess it depends on how much you like or dislike writing javascript code. In my case I’d rather have a root canal. Also, one drawback to the DHTML version is that it tends to perform poorly on slower PC’s

haha… with the DOM it isn’t THAT nasty anymore… and it should be possible to make a dropdown menu using only CSS, but IE doesn’t like it.
