    I want to build drop down navigation menu system for my website. I wonder if search engine spider reads them ..

    How can I make menus so that that are easily crawled by spiders ?

    I think the best way is to make them using CSS, so the user sees them as drop down menus and the search engines will see them as bulletpoints, and therefore easier to spider.

    I hope this helps you,

    Yes as suggested above Pure CSS menus are easily seen by spiders.

    Spiders cannot see Javascript, that's why you should always be careful what you display with Javascript, for example if it is Spider-Food, then don't use Javascript. Most things JS can do with Menus you will find CSS can do the same. Simply Googling CSS Menus, or CSS Drop-down menus, or even posting here and your sure to finda tailor made solution!!
