Hello Bill,

Your example uses the old way of hiding submenus with display:none. 
Before you frown on CSS please consider that CSS driven drop down menus 
can do things that not even the best script writers could achieve. I 
started creating a menu last year and now it does things that no script 
could ever achieve. This is keyboard accessibly in 95% of browsers (all 
done with CSS).

When IE6 disappears over the horizon in the future the CSS hovering 
functionality of this menu system will reach almost 100% of browsers usage.

Please take your JS solutions to another list since you have a lot to 
learn about CSS.
