    What i actually want is possibly a new idea about the look of a similar website.

    I would like to avoid that odd dropdowns and replace them with something more attractive (have no clue what it could be).

    It must be there something cool but, unfortunatelly i cannot think of at the moment :(

    Any idea is welcomed Thanks!!

    very good idea you have.

    You could do something pictoral...like pinpoints on a map.

    When the pinpoint is hovered on, some info could pop up etc...

    Good luck

    Yeah that thing with the map is really cool but not exactly what i am looking for.
    I was more interested in something more advanced and potentially better. But, i still want to keep it simple, and keep it intuitive just to avoid the look and feel of the pointed website.
    Please share your ideas with me. Thanks!!!

    I haven't heard of any alternatives for the dropdown menus. You could always make it neater and prettier, other than that good luck on looking for something new.

    Could you be a more specific please?
    You are right i came with the same conclusion that there is not an alternative for the dropdown. But it would be nice if you can show me how i can change the look of the dropdown to match the design and the color scheme of the website i am currently working on (the link is in my signature).
    That would be great help no doubt.

    Thanks in advance :)
