Well, I was mainly interested in it because I know how to do drop-down
menus.  But on second thought, the method does not work on IE (<=6),
so this will be more trouble than it's worth.

Okay, thanks for the patch.

I started from scratch on the CSS.  There might be some things I
forgot, but see what you think.  If this is an improvement (for now),
I can send a patch.  It should render decently.  Not sure if the
submenus will work in IE<=6, but you probably don't use those
browsers.  :-)
