One of the most widely used scripts to achieve such cross-browser 
functionality is the CoolMenus script written by Thomas Brattli and is 
available from http://www.dhtmlcentral.com. One of its claimed features 
is 99% Browser compatibility. Not sure if there will be any issues using 
it with groupware regarding copywrite etc - all it requires is that you 
maintain the copywrite message in the source.

Fallback mode should be easy enough to implement with $HTTP_USER_AGENT 
(if required - really i guess the primary requirement of a fall back 
mode would be that the user must be able to reach preferences (which 
would allow them to change their theme) without using any of the dhtml 
functionality)
