The main objective is to make it as simple as possible, with some little jQuery effect and easy to customize/ apply different style on it. To style it into your own design, you just have to modify the a tag CSS style. You can change colors or put background images, or the size and color of text.

How to Add jQuery Drop-Down menu in Blogger

Step 1. Log in to your Blogger account and go to theme - Edit HTML.

Step 2. Click anywhere inside the code area and press the CTRL + F keys to open the search box.

Step 3. Type or paste this tag inside the search box and hit Enter to find it:

Step 4. Add the following CSS just above ]]></b:skin>

#jsddm {

height: 40px;

z-index: 2;

padding: 15px;

position:relative;

}

#jsddm li {

}

#jsddm li a {

white-space: nowrap;

margin:1px 3px;

border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;

}

#jsddm li a:hover {

}

#jsddm li ul {

margin: 0;

padding: 0;

position: absolute;

visibility: hidden;

border-top: 1px solid white;

}

#jsddm li ul li {

float: none;

display: inline;

}

#jsddm li ul li a {

width: auto;

background: #CAE8FA;

}

#jsddm li ul li a:hover {

background: #A3CEE5;

}

Step 5. Find this tag:

</head>

Step 6. Add this script right above/before it: 

<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.js' type='text/javascript'/>

  <script type='text/javascript'>

  //<![CDATA[

var timeout    = 500;

  var closetimer = 0;

  var ddmenuitem = 0;

function jsddm_open()

  {  jsddm_canceltimer();

  jsddm_close();

  ddmenuitem = $(this).find('ul').css('visibility', 'visible');}

function jsddm_close()

  {  if(ddmenuitem) ddmenuitem.css('visibility', 'hidden');}

function jsddm_timer()

  {  closetimer = window.setTimeout(jsddm_close, timeout);}

function jsddm_canceltimer()

  {  if(closetimer)

  {  window.clearTimeout(closetimer);

  closetimer = null;}}

$(document).ready(function()

  {  $('#jsddm > li').bind('mouseover', jsddm_open)

  $('#jsddm > li').bind('mouseout',  jsddm_timer)});

document.onclick = jsddm_close;

  //]]>

  </script>

Step 7. Hit the "Save Template" button to save the changes.

Step 8. Now let's add the HTML structure of the menu: Go to Layout > click on "Add a gadget" link 

Step 10. Paste the following code in the empty box:

<ul id="jsddm">

  <li><a href="#">Home</a>

  <li><a href="#">Link 1</a>

  <ul>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 1-1</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 1-2</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 1-3</a></li>

  </ul>

  </li>

 <li><a href="#">Link 2</a>

  <ul>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 2-1</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 2-2</a></li>

  </ul>

  </li>

 <li><a href="#">Link 3</a>

  <ul>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 3-1</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 3-2</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 3-3</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Drop 3-4</a></li>

  </ul>

  </li>

 <li><a href="#">Link 4</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Link 5</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Link 6</a></li>

  </li></ul>

Note : Change the titles and replace the # symbol with the URL address of each of your links

Step 11. Click the "Save" button. 

Important:

- if your menu is on the sidebar, or footer, just drag it to your page header and click Save again.

- if drop down links are not showing, do the following:

Go back to Template > Edit HTML and search (CTRL + F) this code:

<b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='no'>

Change 1 with 3 and no with yes like this:

<b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='3' showaddelement='yes'>

Save the Template.

And again, go to Layout and drag the menu immediately below the header
