I integrated this extension Free Magento Custom Menu for my top navigation but when I add it and I would like to navigate over the menu I have this error message "javascript:void(0)" for redirection.

The error comes from the file app/design/frontend/default/default/template/webandpeople/custommenu/top.phtml.
Replace these lines:
<a href="javascript:void(0);">
<span>Menu</span>
</a>
With
<a href="#" onclick="return false;">
<span>Menu</span>
</a>
or better yet:
<a href="#" onclick="return false;">
<span><?php echo $this->__('Menu');?></span>
</a>

1It actually works this way also. The only way it doesn't work is if your current interface (package) is not default. The hierarchy is {interface}/{theme}, {interface}/default, base/default. So if the interface name is default (as it is in most cases) this could work. But I agree. The file should be placed in base/default. for the newer versions, but maybe the extension is compatible with older versions, before base/default existed.

This particular plugin uses the pattern of providing links within the rel attribute of the anchor tag, and providing void(0) for the onclick event.
Their demo site seems to work fairly well.
This leads me to believe that the extension is not installed correctly and you are missing a Javascript include file that would remap these rel attrs to href.
The void(0) pattern is used to prevent the browser from reloading the page via the click on the element - usually to inject some functionality in between the click on the DOM element and the page load.
Aside from not being best-practice I feel like there may be SEO implications to using this pattern - I highly suggest you look into another navigation plugin over on Magento Connect.
