right, but drop down menus are an html thing, they are not clientexec specific. if he is implying that his coder is going to develop some billing system for him and charge so much more for drop down menus that it becomes unaffordable, that is one unscrupulous coder . . .
if he can't afford drop down menus, then why bother asking people's opinion? its pretty clear that drop down menus is more or less the standard way its done -- and for good reason. its more convienent than hunting through a giant flat page of options for the right button to click. thats a basic tennet of ui design any coder will tell you. in fact it would take more code to do that than create a drop-down menu.
