Ajax like dropdown menu

Lsmooth

Well i was informed this is a good community to get help, or give help on certain issues pertaining to coding! And i seem to be having some problems on finding how this ajax drop down menu i seen at Anime-Eden.com (If u roll over on the top left corner: Anime/manga/goodies/community) it has a nice effect on how it appears!
Now i am familar on how PLAIN drop down menu works, but not how this works! If anyone can help me, it would be great!

BTW, i will be asking ALOT of questions about ajax, so be prepared PHP BUILDER, lol

I see no indication that anything on that page uses AJAX.

if its not ajax, then im not sure what it is thats why im asking for help! But you do see the drop down menu?

It looks to be a "suckerfish" style drop-down list, using a combination of CSS and a bit of JavaScript (needed to make IE work). See this AListApart.com article for the basics.

hmmm.... im kind of a noob when it comes to coding besides PHP, HTML, and CSS so im not quite understanding it (Please be patient with me)

Well, then you should be fine; it's mainly CSS; the Javascript is only there because of IE's inadequate support of the CSS :hover pseudoselector, and manipulates the dropdown elements' styles.

If you want to avoid Javascript (which is a bit of a shame, because you need it to do any programming client-side) then you can get dropdown menus purely in CSS. Have a look at some of the examples in http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/index.html
