Here is a link for a horizontal glossy menu.
http://javascriptkit.com/script/script2/csstopmenu.shtml

In the css just change the "background: url" to "images/glossyback.gif ".

This one has a javascript file to allow for submenu list. I believe it is optional if you don't plan on subs. I myself just found that some people are disabling javascript in their browsers and if they do then no sublinks show up when they hover their mouse over the main link. You can still use the css though. When I looked at it I noticed it is made like the glossy vertical. In fact they have the same glossy vertical but with different colors. Now I know why there are links to the javascriptkit site in this vertical menu.:)
