        <a href="#">Blog</a>
        <ul>

    <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>

And then initialize the menu

window.addEvent('domready',function(){


    // The simple way
    $('nav').MooDropMenu();



    // The more advanced way
    $('nav').MooDropMenu({
        onOpen: function(el){
            el.fade('in')
        },
        onClose: function(el){
            el.fade('out');
        },
        onInitialize: function(el){
            el.fade('hide').set('tween',{duration:1000});
        }
    });


    // Using the MooDropMenuClass
    var dropMenu = new MooDropMenu($('nav'),{
        onOpen: function(el){
            el.fade('in')
        },
        onClose: function(el){
            el.fade('out');
        },
        onInitialize: function(el){
            el.fade('hide').set('tween',{duration:1000});
        }
    });

}
