Been a while since I posted a helpful reference. So after searching for hours for a plain text js navigation menu I finally came across dhtmlgoodies.com, a great little website. Even greater are the terms of use:
You can use all the scripts free of charge, both on private and commercial websites. However, you may NOT redistribute, sell or repost a script for sale without written permission from dhtmlgoodies.com.
Hope the website can aide others.
Colour schemer II is an application on the website and I must say it is very impressive. Have not seen anything like it. You can add colours to a basic page layout to see how they work together. Brilliant, simple yet very useful for those of us who lack skills when it comes to choosing colours :o
