When you say layers, I assume you are reffering to <Layer> elements like
those used by Netscape?  Are you looking to make a browser specific
implementation?

I've found a JavaScript library called Joust that seems to work very well
across multiple browsers.  Although, frames are required to make it work
correctly.  I'd like to implement a menu displayer that presents
multi-browser compliant menus in the same way but without the frames
requirement.  I've been looking over the source for Joust but it's a bit
daunting, especially since I'm not a JavaScript guru.  Anybody know of some
good dynamic web menu libraries?

Also, you can get a copy of my menu component at
http://www.husted.com/about/struts/.

thanks
