If it wasn't for multiple ways for this to be done, I would say this should be core. You see, Drupal menus aren't that great. Drupal has an extensive menu system, going down a few levels, but it requires a reload of the page anytime you try to go down or over to another section.
I'm a fan of AJAX and am not at all surprised to see many projects attempting to implement it. Like I said before, there are many ways to cure this problem, but I would like to add that AJAX is an excellent choice.
Active Menus is an AJAX fix for the menu problem. The menus now load as AJAX, allowing lower levels or other sections of menus to be loaded dynamically, without a page refresh. This is not only a time saver, but it makes more sense from both an admin and a user standpoint.
This may not be a fancy new menu system like Drupal Administration Menu, but it does correct the built in menus and that is a huge plus, especially for users. I really like this module and especially like the idea behind it. I don't like unnecessary refreshes at all.
Users wishing to create their own menus can do so as well. The documentation actually provides a fast and easy to implement example of creating an AJAX menu.
Does this site make your life easier? Help me keep it online. Bandwidth and server costs are more than $220/month.
"I can't say enough good things about this module. I will never do Drupal without one. What a lifesaver...."
"This module makes a seemingly complex task spectacularly easy. The UI is extremely intuitive and even..."
"This is a great module made better by the fact that it consumes very little real estate. It is faster..."
