A couple of sites showing what can be done *without* Javascript:

    http://www.dzr-web.com/demos/css/

And:

    http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/

    Particularly, say:

        http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/vertical09.htm
        http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/horizontal02.htm
        http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/vertical15.htm

...though browsing is strongly recommended.

I've been enhancing the CSS on my own homepage (link below), for fun
and, um.   Profit!?


Peace.
