Hi xberrry,
you right, I don't want to go down the path of Flash/Java script for nav, although my client wants a floating menu, so can't really steer away from Javascript this time!!
After some research want I need is a sub menu [fly out menu style], one level, just on the promotions link.
I understand it's a bit of a pain to make it cross-browser compliant, what with Internet Exploder!
But if you or anyone else can give me a heads-up on how to make a one level fly out menu on the promotions link contained with the floating div/code I have below, would be appricated:
Code on my index page, within the floating Div:
<div id="floatdiv" style="
position:absolute;
width:173px;
height:152px;
left:0px;top:0px;
padding: 18px;
list-style-image: url(images/bullet.jpg);
padding-top: 35px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url(images/float_menu.gif)
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About Us</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Promotions</a></l
</li>
</ul>
</div>

Really, if you want some advice, in areas having to do with navigation don't enus/
make life difficult for you and other users and don't involve javascript nor flash there.
Simply use html/CSS and nice effects I get from this site:
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/m
Lots of menu solutions there, have a feast.
Also I nice trick I tried out only lately, very classic: instead of flash
you can still use animated gifs for all kind of effects ... and the best
of it, anigifs are so small in size compared to flash and always load,
without any need of having additional support installed ;-)
