Creating a Dynamic Horizontal Menu

I'm trying to create a horizontal menu in WordPress that can be changed on the fly by non-technical users without editing the theme directly. i.e. The graphics department :).

Is there an easier way of doing this in WordPress?

I assume you're building a theme? Base your menu on the new default WordPress › TwentyTen theme's menu; it has easily configurable drop down CSS menus. For IE support, see http://firelords.net/wp-plugins/ie6-support-2010/ie6-support-2010.zip

There are other plugins, too, that provide easy menu generation in the Admin section for themes in general: CSS Dropdown search WordPress Plugins
