Change Log
Version 0.9.2
* Replaced empty csshover3.htc file for IE support.
* Fixed security hole displaying all menu items, regardless of access level. Only items of appropriate access level are now displayed.
I REALLY like this module as it is lightweight and great for mobile development.
There is however one problem with the module which needs to be fixed urgently. When having an external link the url has the itemid appended to the end of the url giving you an invalid url and a 404.
this issue has been experienced by others, but the only solution is often using a different module which i would prefer not to. see error here as well: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=260425

Used this to replace a bloated moo menu that I had no use for. Re-did the css to fit my site and it works great. Thanks to the developer!
Nice Module, easy to get up and running.
Couple of upgrades that would be useful:
1.Active menu
2. Add module Suffix (i done this on my version and it was very easy, add some code to mod_cssmenu.xml under params)

I've had weeks of struggling with various dropdown menus in two different websites and couldn't get hold of one that could cater for ltr and rtl languages in one website and stay in its place in different screen resolutions.
This menu wasn't easy, I had problems in IE7 with the menu disappearing when the mouse went under the second level and with it not showing in IE6, but with the help of Joomla forum I had this problem solved.
If you add height:100%; to
div.css_menu ul li div.css_submenu ul
all is well.
Thank you

I've tried a number of drop-down menu modules to work with my CB MyCommunity template, but this is small and worked best. Actually, most of the others require you to modify the CSS, too.
You need to find and modify the CSS file in the module's directory (to match your menu's colour, etc.)
One thing to mention - check the file size of the uploaded csshover3.htc file that comes with the module. If it is zero bytes, as mine was, replace it with the latest version of that file from http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html
There were two things I had to fix that were not related to this module, but I'll note them here in case anyone else has the problem:
1) I needed to add z-index:1; to the submenu section of the CSS so that the submenu would display over the background.
2) In IE the submenus disappeared more often than not on movement of the cursor towards them. This turned out to be a problem with my menu items' line height: reducing it from the default 31px to 20px cured it!
