    I'm afraid those are just simple css customizations to the kind of method shown in the tutorial. Lots of sites have drop down menus, but you might think they are different because of the effect and how they are styled. Google and Facebook make their own dropdowns like this as do most websites that use them. I'm sure there are jquery functions that make it easier, but you'll have to poke around for or make exactly what you are looking for.

    I could, but it wouldn't be free. Depending on how you want it style I could do it for as low as $20.

    Since I was bored I made a rough design of the concept for you anyway. Not exactly the perfect styling of google or facebook, but functional and a good starting point:

    
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
* {
	border: 0;
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;
	font-family: Times;
}

#settingsBar {
	background: #333333;
	height: 25px;
	padding-right: 5px;
}

#settingsBar ul {
	list-style: none;
	float: right;
}

#settingsBar ul li {
	float: left;
	border-left: 1px solid #cccccc;
	font-size: 12px;
	color: #ffffff;
	text-decoration: none;
	display: block;
	text-align: center;
	height: 15px;
	padding: 5px 10px;
	cursor: pointer;
	position: relative;
}

#settingsBar ul li:first-child {
	border-left: 0;
}

#settingsBar ul li:hover {
	background-color: #555555;
}

#settingsBar ul li.selected {
	background-color: #ffffff;
	color: #000000;
	border-left: 1px solid #666666;
	border-right: 1px solid #666666;
}

#settingsBar ul li ul {
	border: 1px solid #666666;
	border-top: 0;
	display: none;
	position: absolute;
	top: 25px;
	right: -1px;
	width: auto;
}

#settingsBar ul li ul li {
	background-color: #ffffff;
	color: #333333;
	border: 0;
	height: 15px;
	padding: 10px 20px;
	float: none;
	white-space: nowrap;
	text-align: left;
}

#settingsBar ul li ul li:hover {
	background-color: #cccccc;
	text-decoration: underline;
}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
	$('#settingsBar').children('ul').children().each(function(index, value) {
		$(this).click(function() {
			var ul = $('ul', this);
			if (ul.is(':visible')) {
				$(this).removeClass('selected');
				ul.hide();
			} else {
				$(this).closest('ul').find('ul').each(function(i,v) {
					$(this).parent().removeClass('selected');
					$(this).hide();
				});
				
				$(this).addClass('selected');
				ul.show();
			}
		});
	});
});
</script>
</head>

<body>
<div id="settingsBar">
	<ul>
		<li>Test 1
			<ul>
				<li>Dropdown Item 1</li>
				<li>Dropdown Item 2</li>
			</ul>
		</li>
		<li>Settings
			<ul>
				<li>Search Settings</li>
				<li>Sign Out</li>
			</ul>
		</li>
	</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>

    You need to code a select list ( <SELECT ...> )

    Put this in the header

    <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function dropdown(mySel)
{
var myWin, myVal;
myVal = mySel.options[mySel.selectedIndex].value;
if(myVal)
   {
   if(mySel.form.target)myWin = parent[mySel.form.target];
   else myWin = window;
   if (! myWin) return true;
   myWin.location = myVal;
   }
return false;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
    Code (markup):
    Now Code Your Select List As Seen Below. You Will Need To Edit in your own information


    <FORM 
     ACTION="../cgi-bin/redirect.pl" 
     METHOD=POST onSubmit="return dropdown(this.gourl)">
<SELECT NAME="gourl">
<OPTION VALUE="">TEXT HERE FOR SELECTION

<OPTION VALUE="" >TEXT OPTION 1
<OPTION VALUE="" >TEXT OPTION 2
<OPTION VALUE="" >TEXT OPTION 3

</SELECT>

<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Go">
</FORM>
    Code (markup):

    Pretty sure he copy and pasted that from somewhere as he did not specify the contents of the form action nor a means to submit the form (which is how his javascript is supposedly executed).

    Actually, I was unaware you didn't want javascript. You realize that the code I provided uses javascript right?
