Best way to go about a single panel dropdown submenu for all items?
Permalink
The Van Gogh museum site has a single-panel dropdown like the one I'm working on and you can see that here:http://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/vgm/index.jsp?lang=nl...
Attached is a screenshot of the menu I'm working on. Everything under the lines would be hidden, but when the big text at the top is rolled over, the entire panel slides down to reveal all five columns, like the Van Gogh website.
I'm thinking rather than auto-nav, it might make more sense just to make individual pagelists in 5 columns in a single hidden div that slides down with jQuery or something when any of the buttons are rolled over, but I'm not sure if this is the best way.

Have a look at the MegaMenu addons.
Thanks, but it doesn't really look like the right solution.
In case you might be wondering why, it's because every top-level item will reveal the same panel submenu, which is all-inclusive of all top-level categories. This mega add-on will keep sliding in and out every time one of the top-level items is rolled over. I guess some sort of jQuery reaction on the entire top-level div to reveal slider is the only way to really do it.
