Designing Jump Menus, Examples
Jump menus are a way of saving space on large websites, specially when there is not enough real estate to place links to every section or category. They hide links to other sections, when clicked they display the list of links.
"make the jump menu obvious and give some context…"
The website design should make the jump menu obvious and give some context, so users could easily understand what is that menu about. Jump menus could be made of simple HTML or more complicated, like the Yahoo! Shopping one.

Yahoo! Shopping Jump Menu

For example Yahoo! Shopping places the jump menu as part of the category menu on top of the page, it’s called "more" and it is located after top categories like computers and electronics.
(I use the Yahoo Shopping menu tabs as an example, but it has some usability problems, read here the article I wrote before).
