Expandable menu
 

I have to make an expandable menu for the site www.cartal.nl.
On http://www.cartal.nl/test_menu_sub.php there are two alternatives:
a. A PHP-solution (style sheet switch) on the link "Assortiment" (my
personal preference)
b. Sub menu on top of some pages

However I'm still searching for a simple js-dropdown menu with fall back in
case js is disabled.
On http://www.nicoschuyt.nl/test/cartal_test.htm a first draft. Based on
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns (Thanks again to Chris Harris!)
Main problem (there are more) is that the sub menu shows too low in IE6 and
Mozilla when the top level is a link. Probably something to do with the
'display block' in the links *and* in the list items.

Anyone a suggestion?
Nico

Why not keeping navigation current with php?

Ehhh, maybe I didn't read it carefully, but it seems to be a method to make
the menu specific for the current page.
I don't see the relation with the requested expansion of the menu on hover
:-(
BTW I applied solution A. to www.cartal.nl but intend to find a more user
friendly solution in the near future.
