Popup menus

Using Javascript, how does one create a POPUP menu.  Let's say I have an HTML page.  On the page is an image.  I want to have a popup cascading menu appear when the user hovers their mouse cursor overtop of the image.

By "cacscading menu", I refer to a single popup menu list that contains...

Jump 1
Jump 2
Jump 3
Jump 4


And then if the user hovers their mouse over Jump 1, a new submenu emerges, with new choices:

   Jump 1a
   Jump 1b
   Jump 1c

And when the user finally chooses a menu choice, the script will take the user to that particular URL/Web page.

Can this be done with Javascript?

maneshr,

Your example works really well in IE, however in Netscape there is a really weird problem...

If there is a textbox in the area where the popup menu is to be displayed, the menu shows up *behind* the textbox instead of in fron of it... This only happens in Netscape. Got any clues?
