Intelligent submenu positioning
It's my nightmare when a submenu is larger then the avaiable space and you need to scroll down to see it, but scrolling is a bit difficult when you need to keep the cursor over the submenu. Finally it's over! This menu displays its submenus allways in the right place.

I disagree with the previous rating, he should visit the demo site of this menu, as the developer told him, many tutorials can found there. This is my second product from the Offlajn guys, and I have to say what they do is simple perfect! I had some issues configuring the menu, but the support team helped me within an hour. And of course, it was my fault, I haven't noticed a parameter. Best navigation ever!
The product is good technically. It satisfies its claimed requirements.
Nevertheless I have rated it Fair as it falls seriously short in the area of documented guidance and instructions for use. There is no published user manual. There are very few tool tips.
I consequently had to spend many hours using the trial and error approach just to work out the effect of each change to a parameter.
The product could easily be rated as 5 stars if these short comings are corrected.

There is only 3 tutorials for this menu in our site and all of them are very detailed:

The Vertical Drop Menu from Offlajn is an excellent product. It has a wide range of options. I found a small bug, reported it, and it was fixed the next day (I'm in the USA so this was almost immediately). Great support. Helpful with everything - even when it wasn't their product.
At first I was really won over with this extension. There were some functions I would like to have access to, such as adding my own icon to each menu item. The support service was excellent on this and offered to apply my icon if I gave back end access.
However the big drawback was finding that the drop down menu doesn't work on an iPad and for that reason alone I can't use the module. Now I would have thought that lack of cross platform functionality might have justified my request for my money back, but that turns out not to be the case. I was offered the accordian menu for free. Not bad, but once again there are one or two things missing. For instance, you can't remove the drop shadow that surrounds the menu and as much as I appreciate the speed and willingness of the developers to solve the problem at the back end, that's not how I want to apply modules.
So regretfully I have to add some balance to all the previous 5star reviews.

The menu is already responsive so it supports iPad, iPhone, etc..
This extension is a must for any virtuemart store to enhance the functionality at a very reasonable price. Moreover I am very much impressed by the support.
This extension is the only one that works perfectly with my template. Its configuration page is intuitive and extensive, allowing me to customize the appearance to match perfectly my template.
My only niggle is that, as a paid app, there is no way to try the extension on your site. The demo they provide works well, but one likes to be certain before buying. That said, this was a great purchase.
