Think CSS. You can do full cascading menus with no javascript using just
CSS2 - if you have enough browser compliance. IE does not, Mozilla does,
Opera 7 does. See Eric Meyer's site -
http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/menus/demo.html
The problem with IE is that they did not implement :hover in all elements,
just on anchors (there maybe another one a well, I forget). :hover is the
hook for displaying the cascade of menus.
