actually, that link produces great menus but it seems very complicated (you need to add a whole lot of code for Internet Explorer). Is that what it boils dowmn to then? A choice between Javascript and complex css? Is there any other way?

If you want a complicated thing like a drop-down menu, you're going to have to encode that complexity - either in CSS, Javascript or both (or Flash or Java or some other inaccessible alternative). The only "other way" is to make your menus simpler.
Having said that, there are other menu resources out there:

The Suckerfish dropdowns CSS method is not particularly complex.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand the CSS behind it though. The XHTML you use is really simple. That's the point.

i copied the code of the menu from SE Consultants.
It works on NS but not in IE, Perhaps it works on latest version of IE.
Thanks

There's a line in the beginning of the source code stating that you need an extra file for IE, if you download that it will work 
"<!-- You will need this external csshover.htc file. -->
<!--[if IE]><style type="text/css" media="screen">body{behavior:url(/css/csshover.htc);}</style><![endif]-->"

I have 2 questions ,both little dumb
[if IE]><style type="text/css" media="screen">body{behavior:url(/css/csshover.htc);}</style><![endif]
what language is this it can not be Javascript as it is not in Javascript Tags, and I thought there were no if statements in HTML.
Secondly
from which location that file is geting downloaded,
all I see the path /css/csshover.htc
[if IE]><style type="text/css" media="screen">body{behavior:url(/css/csshover.htc);}</style><![endif]

CSS conditional comments. They only work in IE from 5 onwards.

it's a relative link, relative to the menu page. Try:
and open it with a text editor

Apologies for the late post
is a good menu I've seen recently that uses javascript but doesn't rely on javascript. It is very cross-browser compatible, very accessible and is xhtml 1.0 compliant. It is also easy to populate and customise and has some VERY cool features.
* keyboard navigation
* long submenus that scroll if they dont fit on screen
* highlights the menu item depending on what page you're on (basically tells you where you are)
With CSS and javascript disabled the menu is displayed as a series of links within nested lists (<ul><li><a href="">etc,etc...</a></li></ul>). This is what the Search Engine spiders get to see
