[quote="theodore":34oaidqg][quote="davyd":34oaidqg]Also, div-popup menus are very 2000. They're really not something that's done any more. Gradients and rounded corners are where it's at.[/quote:34oaidqg]
They are there for functionality, I was trying to make the site easier to navigate.
But if div-popups are out of style, you should let people know.
Here is a list of folks you should contact to let them know to update their sites:

You'll notice that all those websites use drop-down menus, not side-popup menus which are a lot harder to use, because the mouse has to stay within a small vertical area while moving to the pop-up bit, instead of a wide horizontal area. And you then have to change mouse direction to select, instead of just continuing down. Did you learn anything in HCI?
