As a joomla! novice I was a bit concerned that there was no documentation with the module and the parameters did not all make sense to me, but I quickly managed to construct a simple but very good looking menu.
Had a problem with it working correctly in IE8 but not in Firefox, but a post on their Support Forum brought a simple solution in the form of a piece of code to drop into the module CSS within 5 minutes.
Even if this module is not perfect for your needs, if like me you are a Joomla! novice with very limited HTML/PHP/CODE skills, it is worth using this for the tremendous support.
I have used some of their other modules as well and always had any problems quickly sorted. A great team producing great software.

I very much wanted this dropdown menu after seeing the demo & reading the reviews. Upon installation, however, I could not get sub-menus to function as hoped. As is often the case when trying a new extension, panic disappointment, etc started to set in. How much of my day would I invest getting this thing up & running? How much frustration would result? As it turns out...none. An e-mail to support was answered in less than 60 SECONDS. Several e-mail exchanges later, the module was up and running. Just superb. If only they could all be 80% as good.
Best choice for menu from the dropdown choices. Makes dropdowns with jquery slide simple and easy. I move the css file to my template folder to keep it safe and easy. By far the simplest set up for CSS as well.
I installed this module on a 1.6 site and had a few hassles with submenus that I thought were Javascript clashes. The support crew upgraded the module for me which fixed it and they were also extremely helpful in finding a CSS issue.
I now have two left-column pop-out menus.
Top marks - works perfectly. Thanks!

If possible for the menu from right to left languages can also publish.

How easy was that.This was number 4 download to try and get a decent horizontal menu near the footer.Fastest, easiest module to date.
4 hrs of looking, testing,downloading,removing other ext's, but with in 30 seconds of a successful download from this extension i have my horizontal menu near the footer.
Translates to multi-language as well.

A few comments.. First, I was reading the reviews and everyone who has posted (no offense), man they sound like bots or ad-revenue generating folk "this is the best product ever" "simple, easy to use" "Thank goodness for ARI Soft"! I was like, wow, is there actually a real reviewer NOT on ARI Soft's payroll posting in here? Deserate for a solution to my new 1.6 site without Purity's slick menu's, I've been hunting all day.
My hunt is over. I still don't know if those other people are real or not, but they aren't telling a lie. I installed it, I told it which menu I wanted to use, and that was it. Simple and painless, just like a Joomla experience SHOULD be. Kudos to ya'll for actually delivering, and not leaving your personal "we made this" all over the product. For those curious, on the beez_20 template, this works best on position-2.
