I am looking for a sample (tutorial) of how to create a flyout menu with multiple rows and columns (similar to CBS.com - click "shows") but not so fancy just a simple "table" when a menu item is hovered over this "table of items names" will display in a 3 x 5 format for example, each of those 15 links will of course click to the item page. The table will be diffrent for each MAIN menu item but i guess the rule will be 3 columns. so 39 items will be 3 x 13, 25 items will be 3x8 plus 1 overflow etc. Thanks
it is not a huge task just pass an id of a DIV/Table and put a style {display:none} and onMouseOver of any element change its style to {display:''} and onMouseOut of your menu just hide your table again {display:none}.
You can create a normal CSS menu using lists. Inside the <li>, just put the entire div in there. It will be XHTML valid if you're concerned about doing it that way.
