A picture tells a gazillion words:

So basically, I just need to make a simple dropdown menu when the user hovers over a button. Don't think I'd need any sub-menus. I'm thinking to have a <div> layer show and hide when the user hovers the button, but the whole page is horizontally centered (using a table, I think), and you can't do that with layers... I've found a whole lot of DHTML menus on dynamicdrive.com, but they all seem too unnecessarily complex for what I need. Plus, it's a commercial job, so I can't have all these "UberMenu v2 created by Joe Bloggs www.blah.com" comments all over the code :P

Help would be great :)

Personally I find this one very nice a lot less scripting and more CSS. This site has lots of goodies, bad design... but nice codes:

I am a fan of scripted dropdowns. Fireworks has them built in and I think Dreamweaver does as well. I use DW for mine

Thanks for the input, everyone. I'll give Fireworks a try this afternoon... :)

Oh, thanks again. Forgot to mention that I tried Fireworks and it's just what I need. Really simple to use and very customisable :)
